SHUTTER SPEED DIAL

The exposure modes are selected using the shutter speed dial (18) on

the Leica M,

– Aperture priority mode by selecting the

A position marked in red

(see p. 182),

– Manual mode by selecting a shutter speed of

4000

s to 8s,

(intermediate values in ½ step positions are also available), and

– the shortest possible sync speed for ﬂ ash mode - marked with the

symbol - of

180

s (see p. 191), and

–

B for long exposures (see p. 188).

The Leica M shutter speed dial has no stop, i.e. it can be turned in

either direction from any position. It detents at all marked positions

and at the intermediate values. Values between the detent positions

cannot be used. More details on setting the correct exposure can be

found in the sections under „Exposure metering” starting on p. 179.
