Sync Time; Flash Exposure Compensation - Leica T Anleitung

Sync time

Flash photographs are always illuminated by two light sources, the
available light and the light from the fl ash. The time at which the
fl ash is fi red normally determines where the parts of the subject
that are exclusively or predominantly illuminated by the fl ash
appear in the image fi eld.
With a conventional fl ash fi ring time at the beginning of the
exposure, this can lead to visible contradictions, e.g. a vehicle
being "overtaken" by the light trails from its own rear lights.
The Leica T allows you to choose between this conventional fl ash
fi ring point and the end of the exposure.
► Select the required setting in
In the latter case, in our example the light trails from the rear lights
would be behind the vehicle as expected. This fl ash technique gives
a more natural impression of movement and dynamics.
Note:
When using the fl ash with faster shutter speeds, in terms of the
image there is no diff erence, or only for rapid movements, between
the two fl ash moments.

Flash exposure compensation

This function can be used to selectively reduce or strengthen the
fl ash exposure regardless of the exposure of the available light, e.g.
in a picture taken outside in the evening, to lighten the face of a
person in the foreground while retaining the lighting atmosphere.

Notes:
• Flash exposure compensation changes the range of the fl ash.
• Once set, compensation remains active even after any number
of pictures and even after turning off the camera, until it is reset
to ± (= center of scale).
