Selectable modes

The LEICA CM offers 15 different function variations for flash mode, including the option of making long time exposures at any time. Various combinations of additional functions are combined into practical modes. These modes are available for both aperture priori- ty and programmed automatic exposure control mode.

The 5 most frequently used modes (No. 1, 2, 6, 7, and 15) are combined into a “1st setting level” for quick and easy access, while the “2nd setting level” includes all 15 modes.

With one minor difference, the settings are essentially always made in the same way:
