Setting The Exposure Manually - Leica M7 Bedienungsanleitung

03. Continuing to hold down the shutter release
button, move the camera to the final picture
detail,
04. and then you can release the shutter with the
original exposure calculated.
Changing the aperture setting after the measured
value is locked does not result in adjustment of
the shutter speed, i.e. it would lead to incorrect
exposure.
Memory-lock ends when the finger is removed
from the pressure point of the shutter release but-
ton.
Note: When using the camera with a motorised
drive, e.g. LEICA MOTOR M, metering memory-
lock can only be used for individual exposures, not
for a series of exposures.

Setting the exposure manually

To set the exposure completely manually, the
shutter speed dial (11) must be set to one of the
engraved shutter speeds.
Then:
01. Turn on the exposure meter,
02. turn the shutter speed dial and /or the aper-
ture ring on the lens in the direction indicated
by the flashing LED until only the round LED
comes on.
In addition to the direction of rotation of both
shutter speed dial and lens aperture ring required
for correct exposure, the three LEDs of the light
balance also indicate over-, under- and correct
exposure as follows:
Underexposure by at least one f-stop; turn
clockwise.
Underexposure by half an f-stop; turn
clockwise.
Correct exposure
Overexposure by half an f-stop; turn
anticlockwise.
Overexposure by at least one f- stop; turn
anticlockwise.
Note: For shutter speeds slower than 2 s, the re-
maining exposure time is counted down in the
display after the shutter is released.
