LONG-TERM EXPOSURE (B)
In
B
setting, the shutter remains open as long as the shutter button is
pressed and held (at most to max. exposure time).
An additional T function is available in conjunction with the self-timer:
When
B
B
is set and the self-timer is simultaneously activated by pressing
the shutter button, then the shutter will open automatically after the
selected delay time. It then remains open until you press the shutter
button a second time – you do not need to hold the button down. This
will prevent virtually all camera shake from pressing the shutter button in
long-term exposures. The exposure meter remains deactivated in both
scenarios.

Notes
• The longest available exposure time depends on the set sensitivity.
• Long exposure times may result in picture noise. Your Leica S3
automatically takes a second "black picture" (taken with the shutter
closed) to reduce this annoying phenomenon, when a picture is taken
with slow shutter speed. The noise metered in this parallel picture is
then digitally “subtracted” from the data for the actual picture.
• The doubling of the “exposure” time must be taken into account for
long exposure times. The camera must not be switched off during that
time.
• We recommend attaching the supplied eyepiece cover when taking
pictures with long-term exposure. This prevent any unwanted
additional exposure.
• If the shutter speed exceeds 1⁄2 s,

is displayed in the
LCD panel.
• Long-term exposures in
B
setting are aways taken with the camera's
internal focal plane shutter, even if the main switch is set to
CS
.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
DEPTH OF FIELD
The Leica S3 allows you to close the lens aperture in any exposure mode
at the set or automatically calculated exposure value. In factory settings,
this is done by pressing the Depth-of-field preview button.
The correct values are displayed on the LCD panel and top display, and
also on the LCD display in Live View mode. Exposure metering will,
however, be deactivated.
Prerequisites for stopping down:
– exposure metering is activated via the shutter button
– the shutter button is not pressed (anymore).
Shutter release is blocked while the Depth-of-field preview button is
pressed and held.
(For more information about the functions of the Depth-of-field preview
button see p. 25)
AUXILIARY DISPLAYS IN LIVE VIEW MODE
The auxiliary displays Histogram, Grid lines, Clipping and Horizon are
available in Live Mode.
Activating the auxiliary displays:
▸
Press the BR button
• The displays are shown in sequence. Press the button repeatedly
until the desired display appears.
– Histogram and Clipping displays
– Focus Peaking display (see p. 35)
– Grid lines and Horizon
– Extended picture data
– Back to standard view
HISTOGRAM
Histogram represents the brightness distribution in the picture. The
horizontal axis shows the graduated values from black (left) through gray
to white (right). The vertical axis corresponds to the number of pixels at
each brightness level.
This form of representation – in conjunction with the impression of the
actual image – allows an additional quick and easy assessment of the
exposure setting.
Notes
• The display always refers to the currently shown cropped section.
• This function is also available in Review mode.
GRID LINES
The grid divides the image frame into nine equal fields. It helps with e.g.
picture composition and camera orientation. You can choose one of two
grid displays. They divide the frame into 3 x 3 or 6 x 4 fields.
