Example of positive override „+“

For a very brightly lit subject, such as snow,

sand or water, the high reflectivity causes

the exposure meter to indicate too short an

exposure. To prevent such underexposure,

set a slower shutter-speed. For snow, for

example, you may have to increase the

exposure from

500

s to

125

s, i.e. in this case

set the override control to +2.

Negative override correction „-“

For a very dark subject that reflects little

light, the exposure meter indicates too long

an exposure. To prevent such underexpo-

sure, select a faster shutter-speed, e.g. from

s to

125

s, i.e. in this case set the

override to -1.

To set the override control, press the

locking button

15 and turn the setting scale

as required by adjusting the lever

Afterwards, the button

15 can be locked into

position by pressing it down and turning it

anticlockwise. When the override control is

at 0, the lever

17 fits snugly into the camera

body. The override control can be set in

steps of

of an exposure value, from Ev +

2 to Ev -2. At the extremes of the ISO scale,

the override control's working range is

strictly limited.

When override is active, the exposure mete-

ring mode symbol flashes in the LEICA

R6.2's viewfinder.
