LEICA R9Technical DataLEICA R9Anthracite finish : 10 090, Black finish : 10 091 Microprocessor-controlled, manually focusing 35 mm single lens reflex camera with multiple automatic exposure control modes. Accepts motorized accessories. Attaching the lenses Leica R bayonet with added electrical contacts ; all Leica R lenses as well as earlier LEICAFLEX SL/SL2 lenses that have subsequently been fitted with the R control cam can be used. Lens systemLeica R lenses from 15 mm to 800 mm.Selective metering 7 mm diameter metering field, outlined in the viewfinder. Multi-pattern metering 6 fields ; the exposure level in the multi-pattern metering mode can be changed by ±0.7 EV in 1/10 EV steps. Center-weighted integral metering. Center-weighted integral TTL metering for flash exposures with dedicatedflash units. Selective TTL test flash exposure metering prior to the actual exposure with any flash unit. with selective- and integral metering. ±3 EV (Exposure values), in half steps. with LEICA MOTOR-DRIVE R8/R9. Selective metering : from EV-4 to EV-20, or from 32 s at f/1.4 to 1/8000 s at f/11. Integral and multi-pattern metering : from EV-2 to EV- 20, or from 8 s at f/1.4 to 1/8000 s at f/11; Film speed range : Manual setting from ISO 6/9° to ISO 12500/42°. Manual setting of shutter speed and aperture stop using the light balance in the viewfinder ; A Aperture priority automatic exposure control ; P Variable program automatic exposure control ; T Shutter speed priority automatic exposure control ; F Selective TTL flash exposure metering prior to the actual exposure ; The operating mode selector dial can be locked in any setting. via the accessory shoe with central and control contacts (“hot shoe”), or via the standard flash connector socket.Flash synchronization speed : X = 1/250 s ; optional triggering at the first or the second shutter curtain ; Flash exposures can also be made at faster shutter speeds (1/350 – 1/8000 s) with appropriately equipped flash units (HSS function) and a SCA-3502M3 adapter.With dedicated flash units (i.e. SCA-3000/3002 standard with SCA-3501/3502M3 adapter or LEICA SF 20/SF 24 D) TTL control with center-weighted integral metering. In the P fully automatic mode with optimized control for balancedexposures through increased portions of ambient light and reduced amounts of flash illumination as required by thesituation. In addition, manual flash exposure corrections (over-rides) are possible in ± 3 1/3 EV steps. When regularflash units are used (like studio flash units, for instance) : selective TTL metering by means of a test flash triggeredprior to the actual exposure, with the metering results displayed in the viewfinder and on the back cover LCD display.Permits flash photography with very fast shutter speeds (1/350 to 1/8000 s). Can be used with the m or A exposurecontrol modes. With appropriate flash units (that feature High-Speed-Synchronization options) and SCA-3502M3 adapters. (several flashes during an exposure) with appropriate flash units.for TTL Flash exposure metering with SCA-controlled metering : ISO 12/12° to ISO 3200/36° ; With test flash metering : ISO 25/15° to ISO 400/27°.Readiness status : Blinking or constantly lit flash symbol in the viewfinder- and on the back cover LCD displays. Flash success control : Over- and under exposure indication by means of HI- or LO signals in the camera’s viewfinder for approximately 4 s after the exposure. Can be set on the dedicated flash units. Automatic adaptation of the flash reflector on dedicated flash units with motorized zoom reflectors, SCA-3502M3 adapters and lenses equipped with electrical contacts. PrismBuilt-in, fixed pentaprism. EyepieceHigh-eyepoint viewfinder. Diopter compensation of approximately ±2 diopters can be set at the viewfinder. Additional correction lenses are available. Built-in viewfinder blind.Interchangeable focusing screens 5 versions are available: Universal screen (ground glass screen with microprism ring and wedge ; supplied with the camera) ; Uniform ground glass screen ; Uniform ground glass screen with grid divisions ; Microprism screen ; Clear glass screen with cross-hairs. Viewfinder field23 x 25 mm, corresponds to 93 % of the image area (96 % vertical x 97 % horizontal), in conformance with the standardized 35 mm slide format.Viewfinder magnification 0.75 x with a 50 mm lens set at infinity and 0 diopter correction.
