COMPATIBLE CAMERAS
The Leica SF 40 has been developed for Leica cameras that
control the flash exposure themselves. This is done on the basis of
a TTL (Through The Lens ) flash internal measurement, as with the
Leica digital cameras in the S, SL, M, T, Q and X series.
Naturally, the Leica SF 40 can also be used on other Leica models.
Manual mode is available for this.
Use of the Leica SF 40 on cameras from other manufacturers,
however, can only be recommended with reservations. For
example, contacts in the accessory shoes of other cameras that
are in a similar position but with di ff erent electrical values may
result in an incompatible connection that a ff ects one - or even both
- of the devices. Leica Camera AG therefore excludes any further
reaching liability, in particular for damage that did not occur on the
flash unit itself.
