LEICA M AND R LENSES

Leica M and R lenses can be attached via Leica M or R L adapters.

There are lens proﬁles stored in the camera, which allow the

following functions:

• The ﬂash exposure and ﬂash reﬂector controls utilize the stored

lens data (see “Compatible ﬂash units”).

• The lens data is furthermore written to the Exif data of the

recordings, provided the lens is relevantly encoded. The focal

length of the lens is additionally displayed when rendering the

extended picture data.

The camera will automatically select the appropriate lens type

settings if the Leica M lens used comes with 6 bit encoding, or the

Leica R lens has an ROM contact strip. You will have to enter the

lens type manually if the lenses do not have that feature.
