Automatic Bracketing - Leica M Anleitung

AUTOMATIC BRACKETINg

Many attractive subjects are very rich in contrast, i.e. they have both
very light and very dark areas. The effect can be quite different,
depending on which sections you base your exposure on. In such
cases, the automatic bracketing function in aperture priority mode on
the Leica M enables you to produce several alternatives with
graduated exposure, i.e. using different shutter speeds. You can then
select the most suitable picture for further use, or use appropriate
software to create a picture with an exceptionally high contrast range
(HDR).
The following are available:
– 4 graduations: , ,
0.5EV 1EV
– 2 numbers of pictures: 3 or 5
and
1.5EV 2EV
