PHOTOGRAPHY ▸ EXPOSURE 104
EXPOSURE
The readiness of the exposure meter is signaled by continuously lit
displays in the viewfinder or on the LCD panel:
– the shutter speed is displayed in aperture priority mode
– one of the two triangular LEDs lights up in the viewfinder, possibly
in conjunction with the round LED in the middle, and the light bal-
ance is shown on the LCD panel for a manual setting
The exposure meter is disabled when the shutter-speed dial is set
to B .
SHUTTER TYPE
The Leica M11 Monochrom comes equipped with a mechanical shut-
ter and a purely electronic shutter function. The electronic shutter
expands the available shutter area and functions completely noise-
less, which may be important in some work environments.
