SHUTTER SPEED SETTING DIAL
The shutter speed setting dial is used to select the exposure modes.
– Aperture priority mode by selecting the A position (see p. 93),
– Manual mode by selecting a shutter speed of
1
/
4000
s to 8s (intermediate
values in ½ step positions are also available),
– The shortest possible sync speed of
1
/
180
s for fl ash mode, marked with
the symbol (see p. 99), and
– B for long exposures (see p. 96).
The Leica M shutter speed dial has no stop, i.e. it can be turned in either
direction from any position. It detents at all marked positions and at the
intermediate values. Values between the detent positions cannot be used.
More details on setting the correct exposure can be found in the sections
under: “Exposure metering” starting on p. 92.
