Setting The Film Speed - Leica R9 Bedienungsanleitung

Setting the film speed

The LEICA R9 allows you to set the film speed
both automatically and manually. The automatic
setting for DX-coded films can be made in the
range from ISO 25/15° to 5 000/38° (ISO is the
international identification for film speeds). Film
speeds can be manually set between ISO 6/9°
and 12 500/42°.
Note:
Setting an additional exposure compensation (up
to ± 3 EV) provides a total setting range of ISO
0.8/0° to 100 000/51°).
To select the desired type of setting or to make
the actual setting.
1. First of all, turn on the camera using the expo-
sure mode dial (1.11) (see also "Exposure
mode dial", p. 119).
2. Power it up by tapping the shutter release
(1.17) (see also "Turning the camera on /
Activating the electronics / - the exposure
metering system, p. 131).
If the display
panel display (1.34) after powering up the came-
ra, the camera is set for DX scanning. To confirm
the correct function, in this case the ISO value
read (3.6 a) is always displayed.
If, on the other hand,
film speed has previously been set manually.
With the camera turned on, briefly pressing one
of the two setting buttons (1.35) allows you to
view the currently set value.
