FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
The camera determines the necessary flash power by firing one or
more metering flashes, fractions of a second before taking the
actual picture. Immediately after this, at the start of exposure, the
main flash is fired. All factors that influence the exposure (such as
filters and changes to the aperture setting) are automatically taken
into account.
Compatible flash units
The following flash units can be used with the camera. Depending
on the configuration, they facilitate a varying number of the func-
tions described in these instructions.
• Leica system flash units, such as models SF40, SF64, SF26.
• Other Leica system flash units, except the Leica SF 20
• Other commercially available flash units with a standard flash
foot and positive center contact

(fired by the center/X con-
tact). We recommend the use of modern thyristor-controlled
electronic flash units.
• Studio flash units (fired via synchronization cable)

However, if flash units not specially designed for the camera are used and do not automatically
adjust the white balance on the camere, the

Attaching the flash unit
Before attaching a flash unit to the accessory shoe
20
on the
camera,
– the cover that protects the accessory shoe when not in use,
must be detached to the rear, and
– The camera and flash unit must be turned off.
When attaching a flash unit, you should ensure that the foot of the
flash unit is fully inserted into the accessory shoe and, if present,
the clamping nut is tightened to prevent it accidentally falling out.
This is particularly important for flash units with additional control
and signal contacts, because if the position in the accessory shoe
changes the necessary contacts can be broken, leading to mal-
functions.
Note:
Ensure that the accessory shoe cover is always fitted when no
accessories are in use (such as a flash unit).
