Taking photographs with flash synchronised
to the end of the exposure
The LEICA DIGILUX 1 allows you to synchronise
firing of the flash either with the beginning or the
end of the exposure time. This makes it possible
for the very short flash exposure to be either at
the beginning or at the end of the – relatively
much longer – exposure of the available light. Par-
ticularly for subjects in dark surroundings, which
shine themselves or reflect light – e. g. vehicles –
synchronisation to the end of the exposure often
results in a more natural effect.
Note:
As the different flash timings naturally only have
an effect on the picture at slower shutter speeds,
synchronisation to the end of the exposure is
exclusively available in conjunction with the flash
mode
5/C (see p. 132) and not, by contrast,
with
AUTO mode, exposure modes T and M, or K.
Setting the function:
1. Set the record / review selector (1.14) to one
0of the record modes, the exposure mode dial
(1.15) to
P or A and then set automatic flash
and pre-flash activation with slower shutter
speeds 5/C by repeatedly pressing the
flash mode selection button (1.13).
The corresponding symbols (2.1e, 3.2e) then
appear in the data field (1.18) and the monitor
(1.32).
2. Press the
MENU button (1.27).
3. Select the
7 SLOW SYNC function in the
menu by pressing (8x) down on the direction
pad (1.29).
4. Select the desired function by pressing left or
right on the direction pad.
The option currently set is marked in yellow.
5. Press the
MENU button again to confirm and
save your setting and to exit the menu system.
The displays in the monitor described above
disappear, with the display
5/C (3.2f)
appearing instead to indicate the activated
function. By contrast, the display in the data
field does not change.
