Variable automatic program mode with full-field integral metering

Aperture and shutter speed are set automatically

This is the right program for quick-action photography; the camera takes over exposure control for optimum ease of operation. Set a tendency for the automatic program by preselecting a shutter speed setting (normal program: "30s" shutter speed setting, next to "P"- symbol).

Important!

The lens must be stopped down to its smallest aperture (f/16 or f/22 respectively) so that the

entire aperture range is available for the automatic control.

The P program functions with all LEICA R Lenses with fully automatic diaphragm.

Viewfinder display:

The program symbol P is visible at bottom left- hand in the viewfinder; the smallest aperture set is displayed at bottom center. At bottom right, the automatic shutter speed appears while the aperture computed by the camera is displayed in the aperture scale to the right of the viewfinder. If the lens has not been completely stopped down, the program display P flashes and the aperture scale extinguishes. Using FISHEYE- ELMARIT-R f/2.8/16mm or the former ELMARIT-R f/2.8/19mm lens with the minimum aperture 16, the P symbol flashes even if the lens has been stopped down completely. Nevertheless, the correct shutter speed/lens aperture combination will be computed. In extreme brightness or very poor light, the automatically controlled shutter speed/aperture range may no longer be sufficient. This is indicated by the respective aperture/shutter speed display flashing.
