CLIPPING
The Clipping display marks bright or dark areas in the image lacking
definition (bright areas flash in red; dark areas flash in blue). To adjust
these displays to specific conditions or your compositional ideas, you can
specify limit values, i.e. the level of over/underexposure at which they
appear. The Clipping display therefore offers a very simple and exact
means for checking and adjusting your exposure settings.

• The two other lines are not selectable (= gray) when the function is
deactivated.
▸ Optional: Set the desired lower and upper limit values in the
Lower Limit Lower Limit
and
Upper Limit Upper Limit
lines.
Notes
• The display always refers to the currently shown cropped section.
• The scale indicates the clipping areas in relation to the total exposure
range.
• This function is also available in Review mode.
HORIZON
The integrated sensors of the Leica S3 show the camera’s alignment in
relation to the image. These displays ensure exact camera orientation
along the longitudinal and transverse axes of critical subjects, e.g.
architecture.
The relevant display always appears in the viewfinder, and on the LCD
panel only when the BR button is pressed.
• If the view with horizon and grid is selected, a vertical scale and a
horizontal bar appear in the LCD panel. The horizontal orientation along
the longitudinal and transverse axes is indicated by a solid green line in
the center; deviations from the zero position are indicated by a dotted
red line.
Notes
• Display accuracy is ≤ 1°.
• The display changes automatically for portrait format pictures.
MIRROR UP MODE
The Leica S3 offers a Mirror up mode to eliminate the minimal effects of
the mirror movement.

.
▸ Press the shutter button down fully to fold up the mirror.
▸ Press the shutter button again to take the picture.
Procedure
Tapping the shutter button:
1. will initiate exposure metering
2. then the camera focuses (if set to autofocus mode)
3. folds mirror up
4. the aperture closes to the appropriate value
• The picture must be taken within 2 minutes of the shutter button
being actuated for the first time. If that is not the case, the mirror
automatically folds back down to save battery capacity (without the
shutter opening).
• While the mirror is folded up, the 2 minute hold time can be
restarted at any time by pressing the shutter button again.
When the shutter button is pressed again:
– the shutter process commences (the picture is taken)
• Then the mirror folds back down and the aperture opens again as
usual.
Canceling the function
▸ Tap the shutter button
• No picture is taken.
