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 |

| Focus mode | Manual (focus assist functions Magnification and Focus Peaking available) |
Exposure |
| Exposure metering | TTL (exposure metering through the lens), with working aperture |

(in Live View mode and in rangefinder mode) |
| Exposure metering methods | Spot, Center-Weighted, Highlight-Weighted, Multi-Field |

optional exposure compensation: up to ±3 EV |
| ISO sensitivity range | Auto ISO: ISO 125 (native) to ISO 200 000, also available in flash mode Manual:
ISO 125 to ISO 200 000 |
Flash |
| Flash unit connector | Via the accessory shoe |
| 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 |
| Flash exposure metering | Using center-weighted TTL pre-flash metering with Leica flash units (SF 26, SF 40,
SF 58, SF 60, SF 64) or with systemcompatible flash units, remote controlled flash SF C1 |
