EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT
The viewfi nder (1.17) can by adjusted from -3 to +1 diopters, so that it is
exactly set to match your eye. While looking at the viewfi nder image, turn
the serrated dial (1.13) until the markings for the selective metering fi eld are
sharp.
Note:
If you are not looking through the viewfi nder, e.g. for pictures on a tripod, we
recommend attaching the eyepiece cover (G). This prevents any unwanted
infl uences on the exposure metering. The cover can be stored on the carry-
ing strap.
TURNING THE CAMERA ON AND OFF
The Leica S is turned on and off using the main switch (1.15), which engages
in three positions:
a. OFF – Camera turned off
b.
FPS – Camera turned on, focal plane shutter in
body in operation
- The shutter speed is controlled using the focal plane shutter in the camera.
All speeds are available (see also "Shutter speed dial", p. 42).
c.
CS – Camera turned on, central shutter in
lens in operation
- The shutter speed is controlled using the central shutter in the lens. Speeds
of between 8-
1
/
1000
s are available (see also "Shutter speed dial", p. 42).
Note:
The camera also works when set to
CS with the focal plane shutter, if
- a lens with no central shutter is attached, or faster shutter speeds
than 8s, and/or
- slower shutter speeds than
1
/
1000
s are set.
After turning on, i.e. selecting either the
FPS or CS function, the LED (1.20)
lights up until the camera is ready (2s) and the displays in the viewfi nder
(1.16/2) and in the top panel display (1.12/3) appear (see p. 10/11).
Notes:
• 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
, (5.28), see p. 26/30) and none of the functions are used during
this time.
• Turning o the camera not only cancels functions currently running, i.e.
bracketing series (see p. 40) and self timer mode (see p. 46), it also deacti-
vates them in the relevant menus.
