LINEAR FLASH MODE (HIGH SPEED SYNCHRONIZATION)

Fully automatic, i.e. camera controlled, linear flash operation is

available with this camera when using the Leica SF 58 flash unit,

with all shutter speeds and in aperture priority and manual

exposure modes. The camera activates it automatically if the

selected or calculated shutter speed is faster than the sync speed,

i.e.

180

s. If the flash unit is set correctly, this change does not

require the photographer to do anything else.

Important:

The range for HSS flash is significantly lower than for TTL flash.

SELECTING THE SYNC SPEED / THE SYNC SPEED RANGE

Reproduction of the available light is determined by the shutter

speed and the aperture. A fixed setting to the fastest possible

shutter speed for flash operation, the sync time, leads

unnecessarily in many situations to a greater or lesser

underexposure of all parts of the subject not directly lit by the

flash.

This camera allows you to combine flash operation with the shutter

speed generated in aperture priority mode to subtly change the

lighting conditions for the relevant subject to suit your

compositional ideas. You can choose any of five ways of doing this:

Setting the function

1. In the main camera menu (see p. 154/248) select

Auto

Slow Sync

(page 1,

CAMERA

section), and

2. in the sub-menu select the automatic lens-specific setting -

1/Focal length

, or whether you want to specify a particular

shutter speed yourself -

Manual setting

3. In the

Manual setting

sub-menu, set the range of shutter

speeds permitted by specifying the fastest speed permitted.

Notes:

•

1/Focal length

results in the slowest shutter speeds based on

the rule of thumb for blur-free pictures taken from the hand, e.g.

s with a 50mm lens. However, in the

Auto Slow Sync.

it is limited to

125

s even if the focal length used is longer.

• The setting field in the

Manual setting

sub-menu initially shows

the current slowest shutter speed setting.

• Manual exposure control also allows any shutter speed up to the

sync speed

180

s to be set.

• If the Leica SF 58 (see p. 192) is being used and faster shutter

speeds than

180

s are set on the camera,the flash unit

automatically switches to HSS mode.

Only when using Leica M lenses with 6-bit coding in the bayonet and lens

detection enabled in the menu.
