FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS WITH THE BUILT-IN FLASH UNIT
The Leica X2 is equipped with a built-in flash unit (1.5) that rests hidden in the
camera body when not in use. For ash photography, it must be extended.
To do so, push the release slider 1.17 towards the camera center. The spring-
loaded flash unit then unfolds into its working position whereby it is also
switched on. Whenever you do not want to use the flash, simply keep it re-
tracted or carefully push it down until it clicks into place in its home position.
• The respective display (2.1.2) for the ash mode set (see below) appears in
white. Initially it may flash in red fore a short while instead to indicate that it
is not yet fully charged and therefore not ready.
1.5
Flash exposures are controlled by the camera using a pre-ash measurement.
For this purpose, a metering flash is triggered immediately before the main
flash. The amount of light reflected then determines the strength of the main
flash.
Note:
Flash use is not possible with exposure series (see p. 104) and automatic brack-
eting (see p. 132). Correspondingly, the flash indication will not appear even if
the ash unit is extended, and the ash will not re.
FLASH MODES
Press the right direction button (1.24), and in the appearing menu, select the
desired flash mode. This can be done alternatively with the setting ring (1.22),
the up and down direction buttons (1.23/1.26), or by repeatedly pressing the
right direction button again.
Confirm the setting by pressing either the shutter release button (1.8) or the
MENU/SET
button (1.25).
• The ash mode display (2.1.2) changes accordingly.
AUTOMATIC FLASH ACTIVATION –
This is the standard mode. The flash is always fired automatically when,
because of poor lighting conditions, long exposure times on freehand shots
could lead to blurring, for example, in a dimly lit room and outdoors, at twilight
or in poor weather.
