LEICA M11 Monochrom Rangefinder Camera - Manual (Page 108)

PHOTOGRAPHY ▸ EXPOSURE 108
MANUAL EXPOSURE SETTING – M
The following manual settings for shutter speed and aperture are a
good choice:
– to create a special image mood that can only be achieved with a
very specific type of exposure
– to ensure a perfectly identical exposure for multiple images with
different cropped sections
▸ Set the desired shutter speed and aperture value
• The shutter-speed dial must be clicked to one of the engraved
exposure shutter speeds or to one of the intermediate values,
or must be set in B to a user-defined time.
▸ Shutter release
AUXILIARY EXPOSURE DISPLAYS
DISPLAY IN THE VIEWFINDER
When the measuring range of the exposure meter is undercut in a
manual setting and very low light density, then the triangular LED
( ) in the viewfinder on the left will flash as a warning; the LED on
the right ( ) will flash when the measuring range of the exposure
meter is surpassed. The shutter speed icon will flash as a warning if
a correct exposure cannot be achievable using the available shutter
speeds in aperture priority mode. The relevant icon will flash if the
required shutter speed would undercut the fastest possible shutter
speed or overshoot the longest possible shutter speed. As exposure
metering is done with the working aperture, the same can be achieved
by stopping down the lens.
