HSS (HIGH SPEED SYNC.)
AUTOMATIC FLASH ACTIVATION FOR FAST SHUTTER SPEEDS
A fully automated, camera-controlled HSS flash mode for all shutter
speeds and all exposure modes is available in the LeicaM10-P
when used with system-compatible flash units (see p. 77). It is
activated by the camera automatically if the selected or calculated
shutter speed is faster than the sync speed (1⁄180s).
Note
The range for HSS flashes is significantly lower than for TTL flashes.
FLASH CONTROL
FLASH RANGE
(SELECTING THE SYNC SPEED / SYNC SPEED RANGE)
Reproduction of the available light is determined by the shutter
speed and the aperture. With a permanent setting of the shortest
possible shutter speed for flash operation (sync time), an unneces-
sary, more or less severe underexposure of all subject elements not
correctly lit by the flash will occur in most situations.
The LeicaM10-P allows you to fine tune the shutter speed used in
flash mode in combination with Aperture Priority depending on the
conditions of the subject or your own picture composition ideas.
▸ Select Flash Settings in the main menu
▸ Select Max. Flash Sync. Time in the submenu
▸ In the submenu, select one of the three automatic focal
length-specific settings (1/f , 1/(2f) , 1/(4f) ) or the desired slowest
shutter speed
Notes
• The 1/f setting results in the slowest shutter speeds based on the
rule of thumb for blur-free pictures taken manually, e.g. 1/60s
using a 50 mm lens. The shutter speeds with 1/(2f) and 1/(4f)
would in this example be 1/125s and 1/250s respectively.
• All shutter speeds up to sync time (1⁄180s) can be set via
manual exposure control.
