How to hold the camera correctly
In order to achieve sharp, well-focused pho-
tographs, the camera must be held as stea-
dily and comfortably as possible. Hold the
LEICA M6 TTL in a suitable, safe "three-point
holding position" as follows: hold the camera
with your right hand with your index finger on
the release button and your thumb pushed
behind the quick-wind lever in its operating,
standby position. In addition, support the lens
from below with your left hand, with which you
can refocus quickly at any time, and press the
camera against your forehead.
For vertical pictures, turn the LEICA M6 TTL to
the left and keep your hands in the same
position as for horizontal shots. You can
however also rotate the camera to the right. In
this case, it may be advantageous to release
the shutter using your thumb.
Note: We recommend the practical handgrip M
(accessory) to enable you to hold the LEICA
M6 TTL and to carry it securely whilst keeping
your hands free (order No. 14 405).
