Technical Data on the LEICA R7

A Aperture Priority, full-field integral metering.

Camera type: microprocessor-controlled 35 mm single- lens reflex camera with electronic multi-blade focal plane shutter and multi-mode automatic functions.

Lens mount: LEICA R-Bayonet.

Lenses: more than thirty LEICA R-Lenses with focal lengths from 15mm to 800mm.

Switching on the camera: Turn shutter speed dial from "OFF" position and either slightly press shutter release button or mode selector button. With shutter cocked, the viewfinder LED's remain lit for about 12s after you release whatever button had been pressed to switch on the camera.

Exposure meter: Selective and integral through-the- lens, combined with camera modes to form programs. Exposure meter works at full aperture with LEICA R-Lenses with automatic spring-back diaphragm, and at working aperture with lenses and accessories without automatic diaphragm.

Selective exposure metering: Measuring field 7mm diameter (approx. 4.5 % of 35 mm format), marked in viewfinder.

Integral exposure metering: center-weighted full- field integral metering.

Program modes: set via program selector:

mManual setting of shutter speed and aperture, selective metering.

AAperture Priority, selective metering.

TShutter Priority, full-field integral metering

PVariable automatic program mode with full-field integral metering.

Exposure metering memory: in aperture priority mode with selective metering, by pressing shutter- release button to pressure point, memory active as long as finger is held in position.

Exposure override: From +3 to -3 exposure values, with half value click stops.

Film speed range:

manual setting: from ISO 6/9° to ISO 12800/42°;

DX code: from ISO 25/15° to ISO 5000/38°

Photocell: Silicon photodiode, protected from stray light in lower part of camera. In selective mode, the program selector automatically places a condenser lens in front of the photodiode.

Metering range of exposure meter: selective metering from 0.5 cd/m2 to 125000 cd/m2 at f/1.4, i.e. from Ev +2 to +20 for ISO 100/21° film or from 1/2 s at f/1.4 to 1/2000 s at f/22.

Integral metering from 0.125 cd/m2 to 125 000 cd/m2 at f/1.4, i.e. from Ev 0 to + 20 for ISO 100/21° film, or from 2s at f/1.4 to l/2000s atf/22.

Power supply: 6 volt. 2 lithium cells (Ø 11.6mm x 10.8mm) á 3V or four silver oxide button cells (Ø 11.6mm x 5.4mm) á 1.5V.

Battery check: automatic display in viewfinder.
