LEICA M11 Monochrom Rangefinder Camera - Manual (Page 105)

PHOTOGRAPHY ▸ EXPOSURE 105
USE
The classic shutter sound of the mechanical shutter conveys an au-
ditive feedback. It is well suited for long-term exposures, as well as
for shots of moving objects.
The electronic shutter function allows photography with an open ap-
erture in very bright due to very fast shutter speeds. The distinctive
“rolling shutter” effect makes it less suitable for moving objects.
Notes
• The electronic shutter function does not allow flash photography.
• The electronic shutter function in combination with fast shutter
speeds can result in stripe effects on the images when used with
LED or fluorescent tube lighting.
