Setting The Data - Leica CM Manual De Instrucciones

Notes:
• The data is imprinted on the film from the front by LEDs (Light
Emitting Diodes).
• The brightness of the imprint is controlled by the camera's au-
tomatic film speed setting (DX coding). Even so, there can be
slight variations in legibility depending on the film used. With
certain low speed films, the imprint is only very faint or cannot
be seen at all. The data appears in red to orange on dark sub-
ject areas and orange to yellow on light areas. Therefore, it can
only be seen with difficulty against light, orange colored or
very "busy" backgrounds.
• The automatic calendar runs from 2003 to 2060.
• The power supply for the picture dating facility comes from the
camera battery. If it is exchanged within 30 s with the camera
turned off, the set data is retained. If it is exchanged with the
camera switched on, the date immediately reverts to the fac-
tory default setting.
• The digit groups flash for as long as no setting has been made.

Setting the data

In principle, the date, the time and the desired sequence of the
date are entered in exactly the same way as most other settings
on the LEICA CM with only two of the operator controls – the cor-
responding function button (to the left of the relevant display)
and the main control dial.
