The viewfinder/Viewfinder displays

The viewfinder image in the LEICA CM shows approx. 85 % of the
image field. The following markings and displays can be seen in
the viewfinder:
a. Close range marks
For close range shots, what you see in the viewfinder is partly
above of what the lens records. This parallax fault becomes in-
creasingly noticeable the shorter the distance to the subject.
The close range markings in the LEICA CM act as the upper
image field limits for ranges of 0.7–1 m.
b. Distance metering field frame
Regardless of the modes used for distance metering and ex-
posure control, the parts of the subject that you want to be in
focus and which you want to base the exposure on must be
situated within this frame. (For details of focusing and expo-
sure metering for off-center objects, please refer to the section
"Storing focus and exposure settings" on page 86)

c. LED displays
Digits and symbols in a line at the lower edge of the viewfinder
image provide information about
1. the set or automatically controlled shutter speed and aper-
ture values
2. the automatic or manual distance setting
3. the status of the built-in flash or an attached system-com-
patible flash unit
For more details about the LED displays, please refer to the
relevant sections.

Diopter settings

For optimum viewing of the subject, the LEICA CM allows you to
adjust the viewfinder to your own vision within a range of –3 to
+1.0 diopters. To do this, the clicking dial (14) to the left of the
viewfinder eyepiece (15) must be adjusted so that both the view-
finder image and the close range marks and LED displays can be
seen perfectly clearly.
