Note:

When using the LEICA SF58 or electronic flash units that meet

the technical requirements of System Camera Adaption (SCA)

for the System 3000 and have an SCA-3502 adapter (version 5

onwards), the white balance can be set to Auto to achieve

correct color reproduction.

However, if other flash units are used, which are not specially

designed for the LEICA S2, the setting should be used.

All color temperatures are specified in Kelvin.

Setting the function

For automatic or fixed settings

1. In the IMAGE section of the menu (see p. 13/22), select

(5.11), and

2. in the associated submenu the desired function.

For direct setting of color temperature

You can directly set values between 2000 and 13100 (K1) (from

2000 to 5000K in increments of 100, from 5000 to 8000K in

increments of 200 and from 8000 to 13,100K in increments of

300). This provides you with a broad scope, covering almost all

color temperatures that can occur in practice and within which

you can adapt the color reproduction very sensitively to the exi-

sting light color and/or your personal preferences.

1. In the IMAGE section of the menu (see p. 13/22), select

White Balance (5.11)

2. in the subsequent submenu select the Color Temperature

option, and

• A further submenu entitled White Balance Kelvin Setting

appears, containing the value to be set, which is indicated

by a red border.

3. then the desired value.

For manual setting by metering

1. In the IMAGE section of the menu (see p. 13/22), select

White Balance (5.11), and

2. in the subsequent submenu select the Manual Metering

option.

3. Press the click wheel (1.17).

The message Attention Aim the camera at a white surface

and press the shutter release button appears in the moni-

tor.

4. The actual setting is made by subsequently taking a picture in

which you must aim at a white or neutral gray surface in the

center of the picture.

• The picture you have just taken will appear in the monitor

instead of the menu and will contain the message White

balance set.

However, if the exposure is found to be insufficient, an

error message appears. In such cases, repeat step 2 with

the correct exposure setting.

A value set in this way remains stored and will be used for all pic-

tures until it is superseded either by a newly metered value, or

you use one of the other white balance settings.
