The shutter release button has a pressure point. Pressing past the
pressure point releases the shutter.
The shutter release button should be pressed gently – not jerkily -
until the shutter is released with a soft click.
The shutter release button has a standard thread for a cable
release.
SHUTTER SPEED DIAL
The shutter speed dial on the Leica M-A can be used to select
shutter speeds from 1/1
000
s to 1s, or for the sync time 1/5
0
s for fl ash
mode. In the B position, the shutter remains open for long
exposures as long as the shutter release is pressed. All positions
can be felt click into place, none of them are locked.
Notes:
• Intermediate values may not be used.
• Between the
1000
and
B
positions there is a stop so that other
settings are only possible by turning the dial anticlockwise from
the
1000
position, or clockwise from the
B
position.
QUICK WIND LEVER
The quick wind lever is used to wind the fi lm, cock the shutter and
automatically advance the exposure counter. The fi lm can be
wound either by pressing the lever as far as it will go or by pressing
the quick wind lever several times. It can be folded out and left in
its “ready position” for quick access.
