| Storage media | SD cards up to 2GB/SDHC cards up to 32GB/SDXC cards up to 2TB |
| Menu languages | German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Korean |
| Exposure metering | Exposure metering through the lens (TTL), with working aperture |
| Metering method | For metering the light reflected by light blades of the 1st shutter curtain onto a measuring cell: strong centre-weighted;
For metering on the sensor: spot, centre-weighted, multi-field metering |
| Metering range | At room temperature and normal humidity at ISO 100, at aperture 1.0 EV-1 to EV20 at aperture 32. Flashing of the left triangular LED in the viewfinder indicates values below the metering range |
| Sensitivity range | ISO 100 to ISO 50,000, adjustable in 1/3 ISO increments from ISO 200, choice of automatic control or manual setting |
| Exposure modes | Choice of automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture preselection – aperture priority A, or manual shutter speed and aperture setting |
| Flash exposure control | |
| Flash unit attachment | Via accessory shoe with central and control contacts |
| Synchronisation | Optionally triggered at the 1st or 2nd shutter curtain |
| Flash sync time | 1/180 s ; slower shutter speeds can be used, if working below sync speed: Automatic changeover to TTL linear flash mode with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units |
| Flash exposure metering | Using centre-weighted TTL pre-flash metering with Leica flash units (SF40, SF64, SF26), or flash units compatible with the system with SCA3502 M5 adapter |
| Flash measurement cell | 2 silicon photodiodes with collection lens on the camera base |
| Flash exposure compensation | ±3EV in1⁄3EV increments |
| Displays in flash mode | In viewfinder only: using flash symbol LED |
| Viewfinder | |
| Construction | Large, bright line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation |
| Eyepiece | Calibrated to -0.5 dpt.; corrective lenses from -3 to +3 diopter available |
| Image field limiter | By activating two bright lines each: for 35 and 135mm, or 28 and 90mm, or 50 and 75mm; automatic switching when lens is attached |
| Parallax compensation | The horizontal and vertical difference between the viewfinder and the lens is automatically compensated according to the relevant distance setting, i.e. the viewfinder bright-line automatically aligns with the subject detail recorded by the lens |
| Matching viewfinder and actual image | At a range setting of 2m, the bright-line frame size corresponds exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm; at infinity setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3% (28mm) to 18% (135mm) more is recorded by the sensor than indicated by the corresponding bright line frame and slightly less for shorter distance settings than 2m |
| Magnification | (For all lenses): 0.73 x |
| Large-base rangefinder | Split or superimposed image rangefinder shown as a bright field in the centre of the viewfinder image |
| Effective metering basis | 50.6mm (mechanical measurement basis 69.31mm x viewfinder magnification 0.73x) |
| Displays | |
| In the viewfinder | Four-digit digital display with dots above and below |
| LCD monitor (back) | 3” colour -TFT LCD monitor with 16 million colours and 1,036,800 pixels, approx. 100% image field
Tough, scratch-resistant Gorilla® glass cover Colour space: sRGB, for Live-View and review mode, displays |
| Shutter/shutter release | |
| Shutter | Metal blade focal plane shutter with vertical movement |
| Shutter speeds | For aperture priority: (A) continuous from 125s to 1⁄4000s, for manual adjustment: 8s to 1⁄4000s in half steps, from 8s to 125s in whole steps,
B: for long exposures up to maximum 125s (in conjunction with self-timer T function, i.e. 1st release = shutter opens, 2nd release = shutter closes), (1⁄180s): Fastest shutter speed for flash synchronisation, HSS linear flash mode possible with all shutter speeds faster than 1⁄180s (with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units) |
| Continuous shooting | Approx. 5 pictures/s, 30-40 pictures in series |
| Shutter release button | Two-stage, 1st step: Activation of the camera electronics including exposure metering and exposure lock (in aperture priority mode), 2nd step: Shutter release; standard thread for cable release integrated |
| Self-timer | 2s (aperture priority and manual exposure setting) or 12s delay, set in menu, indicated by flashing LED on front of camera and corresponding display in monitor |
| Turning the camera on/off | Using main switch on top of camera; optional automatic shutdown of camera electronics after approx. 2/5/10 minutes; reactivated by tapping the shutter release |
