LENS TYPE DETECTION
The 6-bit coding in the bayonet mount of current Leica M lenses
allows the camera to identify the type of lens attached using the
sensor in the camera bayonet.
– Among other things, this information is used to optimize the
picture data. Thus edge darkening which can be noticeable with
wide-angle lenses and large apertures can be compensated in
the corresponding picture data.
– Flash exposure and reflector control also use the lens data (see
“Compatible flash units”, p. 182).
– In addition, the information provided by this 6-bit coding is writ-
ten to the EXIF data for the picture. When displaying extended
image data, the lens focal length is also shown.
Setting the function
1. Select the menu item
Lens Detection
, and
2. in the sub-menu the desired version:
–
OFF
, or
–
Auto
, if a coded Leica M lens is attached, or
–
Manual M
/
Manual R
, if a non-coded Leica M lens is at-
tached/a Leica R lens is being used with a Leica R Adapter
M (available as an accessory, for further details, refer to the
adapter instructionsl).
Notes:
• When attaching a coded Leica M lens, the camera automatically
switches to
Auto
, even if a different lens had previously been
entered in
Manual M
.
• When using Leica R lenses, the camera automatically switches
to
Manual R
, even if
Auto
had previosuly been entered.
• When using Leica M lenses without coding,
Auto
should not be
used to avoid malfunctions, i.e. in these cases, the lens type
used should always be entered manually.
Manual lens type/focal length entry
Earlier Leica M lenses will not be recognized by the camera due to
a lack of coding. However, they can be entered via the menu.
The same applies to Leica R lenses.
3. In the sub-menu select
Manual M
/
Manual R
, and
• The monitor shows the relevant list of lenses, which also
includes the relevant item numbers to ensure clear identifi-
cation. The camera detects whether an M lens is attached,
or a Leica R lens using the adapter. The list contains either
only M or only R lenses accordingly.
4. select the lens used from the relevant list.
