CONTROLS

TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF

1.181.19

The Leica M Monochrom is turned on and off using the

main switch (1.18). This is below the shutter release

button (1.19) and is a lever with four detent positions:

106

OFF

– Camera switched off

This is the inactive position – the camera is turned

off.

– Single picture mode

Pressing the shutter release button (see below)

takes only one picture, irrespective of how long it is

kept pressed.

For very discreet working (see p. 97/110) the

Discreet function can be activated in the menu (see

p. 108).

– Continuous series of pictures

Holding down the shutter release button (see p. 107)

takes a series of ≤ 8 consecutive pictures - provided

the memory card used and the internal back-up

memory have sufficient capacity (see "Inserting and

removing the memory card", p. 103).

– Self-timer

Pressing the shutter release button (see p. 107)

starts the set delay (see p. 147) and the picture is

then taken.

Turning on

After turning on, i.e. after selecting one of the three

functions

or the LED (1.31) lights up briefly and

the displays in the viewfinder (2.1.1) appear (see p. 94).

Turning off

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 (Auto power off, 4.1.15, see

p. 113), and none of the functions are used during this

time.

Note:

If the camera is out of use for an extended period or

is stored in a case, always switch it off at the main

switch. This prevents any power consumption, including

that which continues to occur in standby mode after

the exposure meter is turned off automatically and

the display is extinguished. This also prevents taking

pictures accidentally.
