Exposure Metering:

Exposure metering through the lens (TTL), with working aperture

Metering Method:

For metering the light reflected by light blades of the 1st shutter curtain onto a measuring cell: Strong center-weighted; for metering on the sensor: Spot, center-weighted, multi-field metering

Metering Range:

At room temperature and normal humidity for ISO 100, at aperture 1.0 EV-1 to EV20 at aperture 32. Flashing of the left triangular LED in the viewfinder indicates values below the metering range

Sensitivity Range:

ISO 100 to ISO 50000, adjustable in 1/3 ISO increments from ISO 200, choice of automatic control or manual setting

Exposure Modes:

Choice of automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture preselection - aperture priority A, or manual shutter speed and aperture setting

Flash Exposure Control

Flash Unit Attachment:

Via accessory shoe with central and control contacts

Synchronization:

Optionally triggered at the 1st or 2nd shutter curtain

Flash Sync Time:

1/180s; slower shutter speeds can be used, if working below sync speed: Automatic changeover to TTL linear flash mode with HSS compatible Leica system flash units

Flash Exposure Metering:

Using center-weighted TTL pre-flash metering with Leica flash units (SF40, SF64, SF26), or flash units compatible with the system with SCA3502 M5 adapter

Flash Measurement Cell:

2 silicon photo diodes with collection lens on the camera base

Flash Exposure Compensation:

±3EV in1⁄3 EV increments

Displays in Flash Mode (in viewfinder only):

Using flash symbol LED

Viewfinder

Construction Principle:

Large, bright line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation

Eyepiece:

Calibrated to -0.5 diopter; corrective lenses from -3 to +3 diopter available

Image Field Limiter:

By activating two bright lines each: For 35 and 135mm, for 28 and 90mm, or for 50 and 75mm; automatic switching when lens is attached

Parallax Compensation:

The horizontal and vertical difference between the viewfinder and the lens is automatically compensated according to the relevant distance setting, i.e. the viewfinder bright-line automatically aligns with the subject detail recorded by the lens.

Matching Viewfinder & Actual Image:

At a range setting of 2m, the bright-line frame size corresponds exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm; at infinity setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3% (28mm) to 18% (135mm) more is recorded by the sensor than indicated by the corresponding bright line frame and slightly less for shorter distance settings than 2m

Magnification (For all lenses):

0.73x

Large-base Range Finder:

Split or superimposed image range finder shown as a bright field in the center of the viewfinder image

Effective Metering Basis:

50.6mm (mechanical measurement basis 69.31mm x viewfinder magnification 0.73x)

Displays

In the Viewfinder:

Four-digit digital display with dots above and below

On Back:

3" color TFT LCD with 16 million colors and 1,036,800 pixels, approx. 100% image field, glass cover of extremely hard, scratch resistant Gorilla glass, color space: sRGB, for Live-View and review mode, displays

Shutter & Shutter Release

Shutter:

Metal blade focal plane shutter with vertical movement

Shutter Speeds:

For aperture priority: (A) continuous from 125s to 1/4000s. For manual adjustment: 8s to 1⁄4000s in half steps, from 8s to 125s in whole steps, B: For long exposures up to maximum 125s (in conjunction with self-timer T function, i.e. 1st release = shutter opens, 2nd release = shutter closes),(1⁄180s): Fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization, HSS linear flash mode possible with all shutter speeds faster than 1⁄180s (with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units)

Picture Series:

Approx. 5 pictures per second, 30-40 pictures in series

Shutter Release Button:

Two-stage, 1st step: Activation of the camera electronics including exposure metering and exposure lock (in aperture priority mode), 2nd step: Shutter release; standard thread for cable release integrated.

Self-Timer:

Delay 2s (aperture priority and manual exposure setting) or 12s, set in menu, indicated by flashing LED on front of camera and corresponding display in monitor.

Turning The Camera On/Off:

Using main switch on top of camera; optional automatic shutdown of camera electronics after approx. 2/5/10 minutes; reactivated by tapping the shutter release
