Setting the function 1. In the menu's SETUP section, select Power Saving , 2. then Auto Power Off or All Displays Auto Off in the sub-menu, and 3. in the respective sub-menus the desired settings. Note: The setting applies to pictures and review, however display only in the viewfinder is not available in review mode.
BUTTON FUNCTION DISPLAYS With the Leica SL, you can decide whether you want your settings and some other functions to be acknowledged by an acoustic signal – two volumes are available – or whether operation of the camera and actually taking photographs should be predominantly free of noise. You can select whether or not icons indicating the functions of the four buttons next to the monitor are displayed during recording and playback modes. See p. 278, 281 for illustrations of the icons.
EN DISPLAY OPTIONS Camera default settings In addition to the default information set displayed in bars at the upper and lower edge of the screen, you have a choice of a number of options to customize the display set during recording and review modes. These include additional information as well as focusing, exposure, and composition aids.
Notes: • The histogram is always based on the displayed brightness, i.e. depending on other settings, it may not represent the final exposure. • In picture mode, the histogram should be regarded as a "trend indicator" and not as a depiction of the exact numbers of pixels. • For a picture with flash, the histogram cannot represent the final exposure as the flash is fired after it is displayed. • When viewing a picture, the histogram may differ slightly from that shown when taking the picture.
Exposure Basic Settings EN 184 Grid and horizon Focus Peaking The grid divides the image field into several fields. They facilitate things such as picture composition and exact camera orientation. You can select the grid partition to match the subject. The bubble level display appears together with the grid display. Explanation: Integrated sensors make it possible for the Leica SL to show its orientation.
DISABLING THE DIAL AND THE WHEEL Setting the function 1. In the menu's SETUP section, select Key Lock, and 2. switch the function On or Off. MEMORY CARD MANAGEMENT EN Exposure Basic Settings To completely safeguard against unintentional settings of the shutter speed, the aperture, and the exposure control mode, you can deactivate the function of both the top dial and the click wheel. When set to On , turning and pressing during recording mode will have no effect.
EN EXPOSURE BASIC SETTINGS ASPECT RATIO Exposure Basic Settings SWITCHING THE SENSOR FORMAT You can select the aspect ratio to be used for photos, i.e. the relationship between the vertical and horizontal sides of the format. The Leica SL is a standard 35 mm format camera, i.e. its sensor size is approx. 24 x 36 mm. You can limit the sensor area used to the APS-C format though, i.e. to approx. 15.7 x 23.6 mm. Setting the function 1. In the menu's IMAGE section, select Sensor Format, and 2.
JPEG SETTINGS Two file formats are available for recording the picture data: DNG and JPG. You can choose whether your picture data are to be saved a. in only one of these formats, or b. simultaneously in both (i.e. two files are always created for each picture). Note: The functions and settings described in the next three sections refer exclusively to pictures in the JPEG format.
Exposure Basic Settings EN 188 JPEG-Contrast, -saturation, -sharpness One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very easy to change critical properties of a picture, i.e. those that determine its character. With the Leica SL, you can influence three of the most important picture properties before you actually take the picture: –– The contrast, i.e. the difference between light and dark sections of the image, determines whether an image has a more "flat" or "brilliant" effect.
JPEG noise reduction The requirements in terms of color reproduction differ considerably for the various possible uses of digital picture files. Different color spaces have therefore been developed, such as the standard RGB (red/green/blue) that is perfectly adequate for simple printing. For more demanding image processing using the corresponding programs, e.g. for color correction, Adobe® RGB has become established as the standard in the relevant sectors.
Exposure Basic Settings EN WHITE BALANCE In digital photography, white balance ensures neutral, i.e. natural color rendering in any light. It is based on the camera being preset to reproduce a particular color as white.
Setting the function - using direct access (with gesture control) Press and hold the button you assigned the function to until the respective setting screen appears. Exposure Basic Settings WHITE BALANCE WHITE BALANCE WHITE BALANCE EN WHITE BALANCE WHITE BALANCE Notes: • If you want to exit the screens earlier, press the click wheel, or the joystick inwards, or the BL button, or the shutter release button. In any case, the respective settings are automatically saved.
Exposure Basic Settings EN Manual setting by metering The Leica SL offers you a choice between two such modes that allow operation matched to different situations/subjects. Graycard is suited best for subjects in which you can clearly identify a neutral gray or pure white area. If not, or if you want to base your metering on an off-center detail, you can utilize Graycard Live View. Setting the function 1. In the menu’s IMAGE section, select White Balance, 2. in the sub-menu, the desired Graycard setting.
Notes: • A value set in this way remains saved for and will be used for all pictures until it is superseded by a new metered value or you use one of the other white balance settings. • This function can be assigned to the FAVORITES menu. Direct color temperature setting You can directly set values between 2000 and 11500.
Exposure Basic Settings EN ISO SENSITIVITY Adjusting the ISO-limits: The ISO setting allows the shutter speed/aperture value to be adjusted to meet the requirements of the relevant situation. Next to the fixed settings, an automatic function is also available (see also the following section). 3. Select ISO Limit Values in the next sub-menu, 4. in the sub-menu that then appears Minimum ISO or Maximum ISO , and 5. set the desired values.
Floating ISO , Explanation: The aperture speeds and aperture values (m) set manually with a focal length of such a lens result in brighter or darker exposure than intended with shorter or longer focal lengths due to the larger or smaller aperture openings. Floating ISO automatically changes the sensitivity, so that the desired exposure is retained with every focal length.
Exposure Basic Settings EN 196 IMAGE STABILIZATION The worse the lighting conditions are when taking a picture, the slower the shutter speed has to be in order to achieve the right exposure. This can quickly lead to shutter speeds so long that camera shake, and as a result image blurring, becomes a problem. Some Leica SL lenses are equipped with an optical stabilization system that can compensate for this up to a certain degree, i.e. the equivalent of up to approx. three shutter speed steps.
EN Exposure Basic Settings 197
EN PHOTO RECORDING MODE Photo recording mode SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON Notes: • If Review mode was previously active (see p. 238), the camera switches back to Recording mode. If it was previously in Standby mode (see p. 180), it is reactivated, i.e. metering systems and displays are turned on. • The shutter button remains blocked – if the internal buffer memory is temporarily full, e.g.
To prevent taking photos during video preview and recording, or to prevent starting a video during photo mode accidentally, both button functions can be deactivated during the above described modes. Setting the function 1. In the menu's SETUP section, select Customize Control, 2. in the sub-menu Mode Lock Photo/Video, and 3. switch the function On or Off.
Photo recording mode EN Serial exposures You can not only use the Leica SL to take single pictures but also to produce a series of pictures. Setting and using the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select Drive Mode, and 2. in the sub-menu, Continuous Low Speed , Continuous Medium Speed or Continuous High Speed . 3. Keep the shutter release button pressed all the way down. –– The camera takes pictures until the capacity of the buffer memory or the memory card(s) is depleted.
FOCUSING You can choose between one of two automatic/Autofocus modes(AFs, AFc), or focus manually (MF). Setting the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select Focus Mode, and 2. select the desired function in the sub-menu. Note: This menu item can be assigned to one of the soft keys for direct access, and also to the FAVORITES menu. Automatic focusing/Autofocus The Autofocus setting procedure is started by pressing the shutter release button to the 1st pressure point.
Photo recording mode EN 202 Notes: • When the Touch AF function is activated (see p. 207), automatic focusing can also be started by touching the desired part of the subject in the monitor image. • When the AE/AF Lock Button function is set accordingly (see p. 218), automatic focusing can also be started by pressing the joystick inwards. • The shutter button saves the AF setting along with the exposure setting, except in the case of certain AE/AF Lock Button function settings (see p. 219).
AF auxiliary light More details on manually setting the focus and the setting aid available for this can be found on p. 184/209. Setting the function 1. In the menu's SETUP section, select AF Setup, 2. then AF Assist Lamp in the sub-menu, and 3. switch the function On or Off. The built-in AF auxiliary lamp extends the operating range of the AF system in poor lighting conditions.
Photo recording mode EN Autofocus metering methods and operating modes To further fine tune the AF system to different subjects, situations and picture composition ideas, with AFs, as well as AFc you can choose between three metering methods and three ways of working. The six functions, with the exception of Auto (face detection), (see p. 207) can be freely combined: Autofocus metering methods Setting the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select AF Field Size, and 2.
Setting the number of metering fields 1. In the menu's SETUP section, select AF Setup, 2. then Number of Steps in the sub-menu, and 3. set the desired number. Field -Metering EN 9 field-Metering [Zone] Photo recording mode Metering field distribution This metering method works with one of the grid’s metering fields. With this metering method, subject sections are recorded with a coherent group comprising 3 x 3 fields. Focusing is to the subject sections at the smallest distance.
Photo recording mode EN In addition to the autofocus metering modes described on the previous pages, there are another three functions available that are designed for specific subjects and/or situations. Setting the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select AF Mode, and 2. in the sub-menu, Static, Dynamic (Tracking), or Auto (Face). Within the relevant grid, you can move the active metering field (in field) or the group of active metering fields (in Zone).
Auto (Face) Touch-controlled autofocus In this mode you can start AF operation by tapping on the desired subject anywhere on the monitor image. Setting the function 1. In the menu's SETUP section, select Customize Control, 2. in the sub-menu, Touch AF, and 3. switch the function On or Off. EN Photo recording mode In this function the Leica SL automatically detects faces in the picture and focuses on the one at the shortest distance. If no faces are detected, 9-field metering is used.
EN Manual focusing - MF Photo recording mode For certain subjects and situations, it can be beneficial to set the focus yourself, rather than using autofocus. For example, if you want to use the same setting for several pictures and it would be more work to use metering memory lock, or if you want to keep the setting at infinity for landscape pictures, or if poor, i.e. very dark, lighting conditions do not allow any, or only slower AF operation.
Calling up/Using the function By pressing the BL button, you can call up enlargements of an (initially) central section of the image field. The first press results in a 4x view, the second press in a 6x view, the third press brings back the unenlarged view. You can choose which part of the image section that you want to look at more closely by moving the image using the joystick.
EN EXPOSURE METERING AND CONTROL Photo recording mode Exposure Metering Methods To adjust to the prevailing lighting conditions, the situation, or your working method and compositional ideas, the Leica SL provides you with three exposure metering methods. Setting the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select Exposure Metering , and 2. select the desired setting in the sub-menu. Note: This menu item can be assigned to one of the soft keys for direct access, and also to the FAVORITES menu.
EXPOSURE CONTROL Selecting modes P, A, T, M Setting the function 1. While in recording mode, press the click wheel, and • the usual top panel screen display is replaced by the (large) letter representing the current exposure mode. The arrows to the left and right indicate how to change the mode. 2. Turn it to the right or left to select the desired mode. • Approx. 2 s after the last turn of the click wheel, the selected mode is set automatically. 3.
Photo recording mode EN Click wheel and top dial operation during recording mode In the four exposure control modes, the click wheel and the top dial operate as follows: Automatic program mode (see p. 216) Aperture priority mode (see p. 217) Shutter speed priority mode (see p. 217) Manual mode (see p. 221) Click wheel Changes the automatically preset shutter speed/aperture combinations (Program shift, see p.
Electronic Shutter Setting the function 1. In the menu's SETUP section, select EV Increment, and 2. select the desired setting in the sub-menu. Setting the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select Electronic Shutter, and 2. switch the function On or Off. Note: This setting is also valid for exposure compensation (see p. 220).
Photo recording mode EN EXPOSURE PREVIEW SIMULATING THE PICTURE EFFECT With the help of this function, you can check the effects of the exposure setting in question, i.e. the resultant picture brightness, before actually taking the picture. This function simulates the effects of the aperture and shutter speed settings, enabling you to judge the results before taking a picture. Setting the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select Exp. Preview, and 2. switch the function On or Off.
EN Photo recording mode Notes: • You can activate autofocus (see p. 201) by pressing the shutter release button while in exposure simulation mode. • Exposure simulation mode is canceled if the camera is turned off.
Photo recording mode EN AUTOMATIC PROGRAM MODE - P For fast, fully automatic photography. The exposure is controlled by an automatic shutter speed and aperture setting. Taking a picture in this mode 1. Select the P mode using the click wheel (see p. 212), and 2. press the shutter release button to the 1st pressure point. If the automatically set pair of values appears to be appropriate for the intended composition: 3. Push the shutter release button all the way down to take the photo.
SHUTTER SPEED PRIORITY MODE - T Aperture priority mode sets the exposure automatically according to the manually selected aperture. It is particularly suitable for pictures where the depth of field is a critical compositional element.
EN METERING MEMORY LOCK Using the joystick Photo recording mode For composition reasons, it can be beneficial not to have the main subject in the center of the picture. In that case, the metering memory lock function - in P, T and A exposure modes, and with AF metering methods 1 Point – and Field single field and spot metering modes - enables the main subject to be metered first and the relevant settings retained until you have determined your final trimming and take the picture.

Photo recording mode EN EXPOSURE COMPENSATION Some subjects are made up predominantly of excessively light or dark surfaces, for example large areas of snow or a frame-filling black steam locomotive. In P, T, and A exposure modes, it may be more useful in such cases to set an appropriate exposure compensation instead of using metering memory lock each time. The same applies if you want to ensure an identical exposure for several pictures. Setting the function - using menu control 1.
MANUAL SETTING - M Taking a picture in this mode 1. Select the M mode using the click wheel (see p. 212). 2. Set desired shutter speed with the top dial and the desired aperture with the click wheel.
Photo recording mode EN AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE BRACKETING High contrast subjects that have both very bright and very dark areas can have very different effects depending on exposure. The automatic bracketing function enables you to take a series of three or five pictures with graduated exposure. Setting the function 1. In the menu's CAMERA section, select Drive Mode, and 2. in the sub-menu, Exposure Bracketing. 3.
ATTACHING A FLASH UNIT The camera determines the necessary flash power by firing one or more ranging flashes, fractions of a second before taking the actual picture. Immediately after this, at the start of exposure, the main flash is fired. All factors that influence the exposure (such as filters and changes to the aperture setting) are automatically taken into account. 1. Turn off the camera and flash unit. 2.
Photo recording mode EN SYNCHRONIZATION TIME SELECTING THE SYNC SPEED RANGE Flash photographs are illuminated by two light sources, the available ambient light and the light from the flash. The time at which the flash is fired normally determines where the parts of the subject illuminated exclusively or predominantly by the flash are shown in the image field. The conventional flash firing point at the beginning of the exposure can lead to apparent contradictions, e.g.
FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION The Leica flash units SF 58 and SF 64 have a HSS function (High Speed Synchronization) that allows flash to be used even with shutter speeds faster than synchronization time. This function is available with all camera exposure modes in the Leica SL. If the flash unit used is set accordingly, the function is activated automatically as soon as the shutter speed set at the camera or calculated by the camera is faster than synchronization time, i.e.
Photo recording mode EN VIDEO RECORDINGS ISO sensitivity You can also use this camera to produce video recordings. The following settings are available/necessary: All the settings listed on p. 194 but with the restriction described on the next page in respect of the shutter speeds.
Stabilization –– Aperture priority mode (1/B/s) –– Manual control with shutter speeds of 1⁄30 - 1⁄4000 s. Set slower shutter speeds are automatically reset to1⁄30 s. With video recording - in addition to optical stabilization by means of appropriately equipped lenses (see p. 196) - an independent digital stabilization function is available that can be used with any lens. This function must be set for video recordings separately from the setting for photos.
Photo recording mode EN Time code The time code is a data set that is generated and recorded parallel to the image and audio data. It allows the correct time synchronization of picture and audio signals even after cutting, or after a later separate processing. You can choose between a continuous ‘running’ time code (Free Run) and one for the particular recoding (Rec Run), and a setting where time measurement in every recording starts at 00:00:00 (Off). Setting the function 1. Perform steps 1. and 2.
Video aspect ratio Setting the function 1. In the menu’s SETUP section, select Capture Assistants, 2. in the sub-menu, Video Aspect Ratio, and 3. in the corresponding sub-menu, switch the respective frame line sets On or Off. • The format limits of a wider aspect ratio (than that of the recorded video) are indicated by horizontal green lines, those of a narrower one by vertical red lines.

EN MISCELLANEOUS Miscellaneous TRANSFERRING DATA TO A COMPUTER Via the USB cable connection The camera is equipped with a USB 3.0 'Super-Speed' interface for transferring data to a computer. This allows fast data transfer to computers with an equivalent type of interface. Furthermore, an up-to-date USB 3.0 driver must be installed When the camera is connected to the computer with a compatible USB 3.0 cable, it is automatically recognized by the operating system.
WIRELESS DATA TRANSMISSION AND REMOTE CONTROL OF THE CAMERA Note: In this section, the term "smartphone" refers to smartphones as well as tablets. WLAN function options The first WLAN setting to be made is whether you wish to connect to the camera with a smartphone directly - Remote Control by App, or through a browser - Web Server, or if you want to switch of any WLAN connection alltogether - Off.
EN Selecting the connection method Miscellaneous There are two ways to establish a connection between your camera and your smartphone. If you have access to an available WLAN network, e.g. via a router, the ‘Client’ method may work best. When using this method, both the camera and smartphone are in the same WLAN network. If no WLAN is available, establishing a direct connection (Host) may be most practical. When using this method, the camera generates an access point which your smartphone can connect to.
Establishing a connection with a smartphone in Create WLAN mode Note: Subject to changes in subsequent versions of the operating system. CONNECT TO APP Press (SET) to abort EN Miscellaneous Using iOS smartphones (with operating systems up to iOS 8.3) Establishing a connection with QR code: 1. Launch the Leica SL app on your smartphone, and 2. select Connect by QR Code. 3. Import the QR code shown on the camera using the Leica SL app. 4. Install the "Leica SL" profile on your smartphone. 5.
Miscellaneous EN 264 Notes: • When using devices or computing systems that require more reliable security than WLAN devices, appropriate measures must be taken to ensure security and protect against disruptions to the systems used. • Leica Camera AG accepts no liability for damage arising from the use of the camera for purposes other than as a WLAN device. • It is assumed that the WLAN function is used in the countries in which this camera is sold.
INSTALLING FIRMWARE UPDATES Note: If you want to update the firmware of lenses in the Leica TL system, e.g. to be able to use them on SL cameras with more recent firmware status, you have to place the lens on a Leica TL system camera. EN Miscellaneous Leica is constantly working on developing and optimizing its products. As digital cameras have many functions that are controlled electronically, improvements and enhancements to the functions can be installed on the camera at a later date.
Safety and care instructions EN 266 SAFETY AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL PRECAUTIONS • Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices with powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g. radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines, induction ranges, microwave ovens, television sets or computer monitors, video game consoles, cell phones, radio equipment).
Safety notes on using carrying straps • If the camera is exposed to significant temperature fluctuations, condensation can form on the monitor. Wipe it off carefully with a soft dry cloth. • If the camera is very cold when turned on, the monitor image will initially appear slightly darker than normal. As soon as the monitor warms up, it will reach its normal level of brightness. • The monitor is manufactured using a high-precision process. This ensures that of the total of around 1.04 MP more than 99.
Safety and care instructions EN 268 CARE INSTRUCTIONS For the Lens • As any soiling also represents a growth medium for microorganisms, you should take care to keep the equipment clean. • Normally, a soft hair brush is sufficient to remove dust from the outer lens surfaces. However, in case of more stubborn dirt, they can be carefully cleaned with a very clean, soft cloth that is completely free of foreign matter, using circular motions from the inside to the outside.
For the charger • Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through internal chemical reactions. This reaction is influenced by ambient temperature and humidity. Very high or low temperatures reduce the life of the battery. • Always remove the battery if you will not be using the camera for a long period of time, as otherwise it could become totally discharged after several weeks, i.e. its voltage drops to a very low level. • Lithium ion batteries should only be stored partly charged, i.e.
Safety and care instructions EN 270 For the monitor CLEANING THE SENSOR The monitor is equipped with an especially scratch-resistant glass cover. Further protection is possible by applying the protection film available as an accessory. The camera is equipped with an automatic sensor cleaning function. Every time the camera is switched on, the sensor unit is subjected to ultrasonic vibrations which removes most of the dust or dirt particles adhering to the sensor cover glass.
Important: • Leica Camera AG accepts no liability for damage caused by the user when cleaning the sensor. • Do not attempt to blow dust particles off the sensor cover glass using your mouth; even tiny droplets of saliva can cause marks that are difficult to remove. • Compressed air cleaners with high gas pressure may not be used as they can also cause damage. • Take care to avoid touching the sensor surface with any hard objects during inspection and cleaning.
Safety and care instructions EN 272 Storage • If you are not using the camera for a longer period of time, we recommend that you: –– Turn off the camera –– Remove the memory cards –– Remove the battery • A lens works like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on the front of the camera. The camera must therefore never be set aside in strong sunlight without protection.
