Storing flash modes/the set exposure compensation

Under certain circumstances or for particular subjects, it can be appropriate to always use particular functions of the LEICA CM. For example, this might be the case if a series of portraits are always to be taken with pre-flash light or a series of landscape photographs for a multivision with a fixed exposure compensation. For this purpose, all flash modes and the set compensation can be permanently stored, so that they are available again immediately even when the camera is switched off and then on again.

The process for storing the modes and exposure compensation is similar to that for setting the functions themselves:

Setting

	Operating step	Displays in the data panel
	1. a. If no setting process is activated (the corresponding	a. The corresponding display (the relevant symbol(s) for the
	displays in the data panel [19] are continuously lit):	flash mode or E) flash for 4 s to indicate that a mode/val-

	Press the MODE (22) or EV button (21) for at least 3 s.

	2. After storing	The displays for the relevant functions are lit continuously and
		the remaining displays appear again.

A stored mode or value is deleted in the same way, i.e. by selecting and storing the default setting (or any other desired mode) or

0.0E (or any other compensation value).

Note: A stored mode is also deleted when the battery is changed.
