ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECE
The viewfi nder can be adjusted from -3 to +1 diopters to adapt it exactly
to your own eyesight. To do this, turn the knurled ring while observing the
viewfi nder image until the borders of the selective metering fi eld are
sharply focused.
Note:
If you are not looking through the viewfi nder, e.g. during recordings with a
tripod, we recommend that the eyepiece cover is fi tted. This prevents any
infl uencing of the exposure metering. The cover can be stored on the
carrying strap.
TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF
The Leica S is turned ON and OFF using the main switch. It has three stop
positions:
a. OFF – Camera turned off
b. FPS – Camera turned on, focal plane shutter in body in operation
– The shutter speed is controlled via the focal plane shutter in the
camera. All speeds are available (see also "Shutter speed setting
dial").
c. CS – Camera turned on, central shutter in (correspondingly equipped)
lens in operation
– The shutter speed is controlled via the central shutter in the lens.
Speeds of 8- 1 ⁄
1000
s are available (see also "Shutter speed setting
dial").
Note:
Even when set to CS , the camera operates with the focal plane shutter
when
– A lens without central shutter is fi tted, and/or shutter speeds of more
than 8 s, or
– less than 1 ⁄
1000
s are set.
After turning on, i.e. after selecting one of the two functions FPS or CS,
the LED at the bottom right next to the monitor lights up until the camera
is ready (2 s) and the displays appear in the viewfi nder and in the top
panel display.
Notes:
• Even if the main switch is not set to OFF, the camera is automatically
turned off if an automatic power off time has been set in the menu and
none of the controls are used in this time.
• When the camera is turned off , running functions, i.e. bracketing and
self-timer operation, are aborted and also deactivated in the respective
menus.
