Leica CM, Технические характеристики

Страница: 5 / 8

Clear information
The large illuminated LC-Display on the
camera back keeps you informed at all
times. Flash readiness, exposure over-ride,
exposure counter, battery condition, self-
timer, date setting and exposure mode are
clearly legible. In addition, when focusing
is performed manually, the corresponding
distance is also displayed. In combination
with the exceptionally detailed viewfinder
display one is kept informed about the
camera’s functions at all times.
Ease of use
The LEICA CM fits and feels well in the
hand. Size, shape and leather covering
are optimally tailored to one another.
Large operating elements without dual
functions and the clear LC-Display on the
camera back make it easy, fast and pre-
cise to select all the parameters. The
correct settings can be controlled in the
viewfinder display without taking the
camera away from the eye – very impor-
tant for not missing that “magic moment” !
Judicious use of flash The LEICA CM is equipped with a strong built-in flash that
is also activated automatically for fill-in flash in backlit situations. The camera’s
external flash accessory shoe also permits the attachment of SCA flash units.
With the new dedicated LEICA SF 24D flash unit in place, the camera doses the
amount of light as a function of aperture and subject distance. This so-called
automatic guide number control enables you to make accurately exposed flash
pictures with well-balanced subject illumination. The slow mode, with which the
flash can also be synchronized to the second shutter curtain, significantly expands
the creative composition freedoms even further.
All the information is available in the viewfinder The large real-image viewfinder with diopter com-
pensation keeps you fully informed at all times. LED displays present complete, detailed information
concerning focusing, flash readiness, aperture and shutter speed. On the new LEICA CM, the familiar
light balance of modern Leica M cameras serves as a focusing aid for manual distance setting. In
addition, there are warnings for over- and under-exposures, activated over-ride, films without DX
coding and film not having been loaded. The brightness of the display adapts to ambient illumination,
so that it is not blinding in darkness and easy to read in bright light. That keeps you informed about
your camera’s next step at all times, so that you can make corrections when needed. This
diversity of information is unique among compact cameras.
