Compatible 35mm films
The LEICA CM is a 35mm camera, i.e. it takes 35mm format
films. DX coded 35mm films (film packaging and film cartridge
are marked with “DX”) are automatically set by the camera.
DX coded films outside this speed range and non-DX coded films
are set to ISO 100.
If the camera cannot detect the DX code for the specified rea-
sons, or because the film is damaged, this is indicated by alter-
nate flashing of
b
and
100
for 3s both in the viewfinder (in the
digital display) and in the data panel (19) when the film is loaded
and each time the camera is turned on.
Holding the camera correctly
To avoid blurring, the LEICA CM should be held as shown in the
illustrations. To achieve good results, it is essential to avoid
covering the lens, flash, the autofocus sensors or the exposure
meter sensor with your hand, the carrying strap etc.
If you are taking a portrait format picture, the flash should be at
the top, as illumination “from above“ gives the most natural ef-
fect.
For portrait format photos we also recommend pressing the
shutter release with your thumb, which helps keep the camera
particularly steady.
