Viewfinder/LCD panel
Viewfinder: Large, bright-line rangefinder with automatic parallax compensation, suitable for -0.5 dpt, optional corrective lenses available: -3 to +3 dpt
Display: Four-digit digital display with items show on the top and bottom, Image field limiter: two lit frames: 35 mm + 135 mm, 28 mm + 90 mm, 50 mm + 75 mm (automatic switchover when lens is attached)
Parallax compensation: The horizontal and vertical difference between viewfinder and lens is compensated automatically in line with the relevant focus setting. Congruence of viewfinder and actual image. The size of the bright-line frame matches the distance: - at 2 m: the exact sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8 mm, - at infinity: (depending on focal length) approx. 7.3% (28 mm) to 18% (135 mm), - less than 2 m: less than sensor size
Viewfinder magnification: 0.73x (all lenses)
Large-base rangefinder : Split or superimposed image rangefinder shown as a bright field at the center of the viewfinder image
LCCD panel: 2.95” (Active Matrix TFT), sapphire glass, 2 332 800 dots, format 3:2, Touch control available
Shutter type: Electronically controlled focal plane shutter and electronic shutter function
Shutter speeds: Mech. shutter: 60 min to 1⁄4000 s, Electro. shutter function: 60 s to 1⁄16000 s, Flash Synch: up to 1⁄180 s, Optional noise reduction via additional “black picture” (can be disabled)
Shutter button: Two-stage (Step 1: activation of the camera electronics including exposure metering and exposure lock, Step 2: release)
Self-timer: Delay time: 2 s or 12 s
Focus range: Rangefinder: 70 cm to ∞, Live View: depending on the attached lens
Focus mode: Manual (focus assist functions Magnification and Focus Peaking available)
Exposure metering: TTL (exposure metering through the lens), with working aperture
Exposure metering methods: Spot, Center-Weighted, Highlight-Weighted, Multi-Field
Exposure modes: Aperture priority mode (A): automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture preselection, Manual (M): manual setting for shutter speed and aperture
Exposure compensation: ±3 EV in 1⁄3 EV increments
Automatic bracketing: 3 or 5 frames, graduations between shoots up to 3 EV, in 1⁄3 EV increments, additional optional exposure compensation: up to ±3 EV
ISO sensitivity range: Auto ISO: ISO 64 (native) to ISO 50 000, also available in flash mode, Manual: ISO 64 to ISO 50 000
Metering principle: Flash exposure metering is done by the image sensor for all exposure metering methods (in Live View mode and in rangefinder mode)
Flash sync time: 1⁄180 s, slower shutter speeds available, automatic switchover to TTL linear flash mode with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units if sync time is undercut
