Taking Photographs With Automatic Flash Activation And Slower Shutter Speeds - Leica CM Manual De Instrucciones

(3) Taking photographs with automatic flash activation and slower shutter speeds

(can only be selected using "2nd setting level", see "Selectable modes", p. 89)
To minimize the risk of blurring, the exposure time is not extended beyond
the flash is used, this means that objects in the background, which the flash cannot reach, are often badly underexposed.
To take appropriate account of the available ambient light, longer exposure times are necessary in these exposure situations. In this
mode, the ambient light controls the shutter speeds, even as far as long time exposure B where necessary (see the section "The au-
tomatically self-activating B function", p. 107).
