Fitting the lens

Removing the lens
Only lenses equipped with a control cam for LEICA R-Cameras (see page 36) may be used on the LEICA R6.2 to avoid damage to the camera. To insert a LEICA R-Lens regardless of the focus and aperture settings, proceed as follows: Hold the lens firmly by its fixed ring 12. Position the red dot 13 on the lens mount opposite the dot on the bayonet lock 7 on the camera body. Insert the lens in this position. A slight clockwise turn seats the lens securely in position with an audible click.
Hold the lens Firmly by its fixed ring 12. Press down the bayonet lock 7 on the 3camera body. Turn the lens anticlockwise and remove. Always change lenses in the shade or in your body's shadow.
Inserting and checking the batteries The LEICA R6.2's exposure meter, electronic self-timer, LED display and supplementary viewfinder light are powered by two silver oxide button cells or a lithium cell; see page 9 for a list of suitable battery cells. Insert a coin in the slot of the battery cap 37 to unscrew. Use a clean cloth to wipe off any oxidization on the surface of the battery cells and insert them in the battery cap; position them as marked in the battery cap. Screw the cap with the battery cells back into the baseplate of the camera.
Always check the state of the batteries before attempting to take any photographs, especially when the camera has not been used for some time. To do so, press the test button 21 for about 5 s. If the battery cells are in working order, the red LED 22 in front of the test button lights. If, in these five seconds, the LED dims noticeably, the battery cells are nearly flat and should be replaced as soon as possible. If the LED does not light, the outside of the battery cells may have oxidized. If so, simply wipe them clean.

Important! When a Motor-Winder or Motor-Drive is fitted, the camera is powered by the batteries of the motorized film transport, i.e. you cannot check the camera's batteries. To check that the motor batteries are in fact supplying power to the exposure meter and the viewfinder displays, press the battery-test button 21, at the same time switching on the exposure meter, e.g. by pressing the locking button on the selector switch (see chapter: Switching on the exposure meter). However, this is not a battery-check for the motor functions. Notes on battery care and use: Store battery cells in a cool, dry place. Never use old and new battery cells together. Do not mix battery cells of different makes. These battery cells are not rechargeable. Batteries contain toxic and environmentally dangerous substances. Do not discard used battery cells in normal household trash, but return them to your camera dealer for recycling.

Setting the film speed

Exposure of the last frame blocks the action of the quick-wind lever. Rewind the film into its cartridge before removing it from the camera. Press the rewind release button 39 in the camera's baseplate, hinge out the rewind crank 20 and turn it clockwise in the direction indicated by the arrow until you feel a slight resistance as the film is pulled out of the take-up spool. Pull up rewind crank and knob to open the camera back, and remove the cartridge with the exposed film. To use a MOTOR WINDER R or MOTOR DRIVE R, see the manual supplied with the winder or drive.
Rewinding and removing the exposed film
Full-field integral metering

Selective mode

The two exposure metering modes: The LEICA R6.2 has an exposure metering system that provides two alternative modes: Full-field integral mode Selective mode
Exposure is measured through the lens. The exposure meter uses a silicon photodiode, placed in the base of the camera to protect it from stray light. When you use any LEICA R-Lens with an automatic spring-back diaphragm, the exposure meter works at full aperture. The symbol displayed in the window 24 next to the program selector 30 and at the lower left of the viewfinder indicates the mode selected.
Full-Held integral mode Most photographic subjects contain details of varied brightness. The light reflected by this type of subject has a mean grey value of 18%, i.e. it is the same as that of a standard grey area that reflects 18% of the light it receives (average grey value). This is the calibration value for all exposure meters. The full-field integral mode is suitable for all subjects in normal light, with no extremes of light or color, and where the light and dark areas are fairly evenly distributed over the entire visual field. For this type of subject, choose full-field integral mode.
Selective mode This is the method of choice when the subject has a very wide brightness range and the correct exposure of a certain detail is particularly important. The large central circle in the viewfinder indicates the field covered in this mode, in which the exposure meter measures only the light reflected by the exact area of the subject that you want to determine the exposure. The field is the same size on all focusing screens and for all lenses, whatever their focal length, and is clearly marked in the viewfinder.

Range of exposure meter In integral mode the exposure meter has a range from 0.063 cd/m2 at f/stop 1.4 to 125000 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) at f/stop 22. For ISO 100/21 film this is equal to the standard exposure values Ev -1 to +20, i.e. from 4s at f/1.4 to 1/2000 s at f/22. In selective mode, its range is from 0.25 cd/m2 at f/1.4 to 125000 cd/m2. For ISO 100/21 film, this is equal to the standard exposure values Ev +1 to +20 at f/1.4, or 1s to '/2000 s at f/22. The diagram on page 16 gives all necessary data for the exposuremetering system of the LEICA R6.2, such as sensitivity and range. Working diagram of the exposure meter The diagram shows the relationship between film speed Sv and brightness Bv on the one hand, and between shutter-speed TV and aperture Av on the other, together with the resulting exposure value Ev. The diagram is in two parts connected by diagonal lines that represent the exposure value Ev. On the right, you will find the brightness value Bv determined by the exposure meter. The adjacent grey wedges
indicate the working range of the exposure meter in selective ( ) and large-field integral ( ) modes. The film speeds Sv are marked across the top. The left side of the diagram shows the camera's working range. In the column of shutter speeds TV, the long-time exposure range from 1 s to 60 s is overprinted on a grey screen. The aperture range (Av) is marked in the footnote along the base. A typical example marked in red, shows how these values correlate. Assuming a film speed of ISO 400/27, follow the vertical line to the point where it intersects with the horizontal line for brightness, in the case 0.5 cd/m2, typical for night-time photography. The diagonal which passes through this point of intersection leads to the relevant exposure value, in this case Ev 5. Various combinations of aperture and shutter speed can produce this value. For correct exposure, the points of intersection of the vertical Av and the horizontal TV lines must always lie exactly on a diagonal Ev line. In the example, three such combinations are shown: A = stop 1,4 at 1/15 s; B = stop 2,8 at 1/4 s; and C = stop 16 at 8s.
The exposure metering system is switched on by pressing the locking button while simultaneously shifting the selector switch 30, following through from the "OFF"setting - displayed in the window 24 - via its selective exposure metering position to the large-field integral metering setting. The exposure metering mode set is displayed in the window. By selecting an exposure metering mode, the camera's exposure metering system is activated (see: "Activating the exposure metering system").

Example of positive override + For a very brightly lit subject, such as snow, sand or water, the high reflectivity causes the exposure meter to indicate too short an exposure. To prevent such underexposure, set a slower shutter-speed. For snow, for example, you may have to increase the exposure from 1/500s to 1/125s, i.e. in this case set the override control to +2. Negative override correction - For a very dark subject that reflects little light, the exposure meter indicates too long an exposure. To prevent such underexposure, select a faster shutter-speed, e.g. from 1 /60 s to 1/125 s, i.e. in this case set the override to -1. To set the override control, press the locking button 15 and turn the setting scale 18 as required by adjusting the lever 17. Afterwards, the button 15 can be locked into position by pressing it down and turning it anticlockwise. When the override control is at 0, the lever 17 fits snugly into the camera body. The override control can be set in steps of 1/3 of an exposure value, from Ev + 2 to Ev -2. At the extremes of the ISO scale, the override control's working range is strictly limited.
When override is active, the exposure metering mode symbol flashes in the LEICA R6.2's viewfinder.
The viewfinder as composition and control center
The viewfinder of the LEICA R6.2 helps you compose your photographs and is the control center for all important data: It allows you to assess focus, perspective, and depth of field; see page 27 for details. The larger of the two central circles clearly defines the field used in the selective exposure-metering mode. The viewfinder area is 92% of the frame size. With the eyepiece at 0 diopters and a standard 50mm lens fitted and focused to infinity, it has an 0.8x magnification. The viewfinder displays all essential data for the program you have set. The LED's light when you press the mode selector to or , the locking button on the selector switch, the battery-test button, or the shutter release. With shutter cocked, they remain lit for approximately 12 s after the respective activating button has been released. To avoid confusion, the viewfinder displays only the essential data. The adjacent illustration shows all the available displays simultaneously. It applies to the universal focusing screen. When flash units of the SCA 300 and SCA 500 systems are used, the symbol at the lower left of the viewfinder display

indicates "flash ready" and "flash exposure successful" (see page 30). At its right are the symbols indicating the exposure metering mode activated, i.e. selective ( ) or large-field integral ( ). Further to the right are the three shutter/aperture balance symbols. The preselected aperture is projected into the center of the viewfinder frame display. Adjacent to it, the selected shutterspeed is indicated. In poor light, both displays can be illuminated supplementarily (see page 22).
viewfinder light is visible from the outside in the illumination window for shutterspeed 1 and in the aperture display window 2. After releasing any of the activating buttons, the supplementary viewfinder light remains switched on for about 12s before switching off automatically. The supplementary viewfinder light can also be switched on with the shutter-speed setting ring set to "B". To avoid battery drain, do not leave the supplementary viewfinder light switched on unnecessarily. Supplementary viewfinder light For perfect control of the viewfinder shutter-speed and aperture display even in the dark, the LEICA R6.2 offers supplementary viewfinder light that can be added whenever necessary. The switch 10 is located on the mirror housing. The symbol indicates that the supplementary viewfinder light is switched off. To switch it on, push the switch down to position. To activate supplementary viewfinder light, check that the exposure meter is switched on and lightly press the shutter release button, the locking button, the selector switch or the battery-check button. The supplementary
Eyepiece diopter adjustment A sharply defined viewfinder image is essential for exploiting the full potential of the LEICA R6.2 and the high performance of LEICA R-Lenses. The eyepiece lens is therefore adjustable to your eyesight, within the range from + 2 to - 2 diopters. To adjust the eyepiece, pull out the small setting wheel 32 at its left and turn this to the required setting. To do so, set the lens out of focus, e. g. at the shortest focusing distance, point the camera at the sky, look through the viewfinder, and turn the setting wheel until the circle that indicates the edge of the field for the selective exposure-meter mode is sharply defined and in good contrast.

Socket for cable release The shutter release button 26 has a socket for a standard cable release with a conical screw thread. By means of the mirror lock-up release R*, the swing mirror of the LEICA R6.2 and can be raised before exposure, and the spring diaphragm can be closed to the selected stop. The mirror lock-up release R is screwed into the special socket underneath the bayonet lock. The described functions can be triggered simply by pressing the release pin. To release the shutter, press the shutter release button either manually or by cable release. The mirror and automatic diaphragm are reset automatically when the shutter is released, but cannot be reset manually. The mirror lock-up release R must be activated each time you wish to hinge up the mirror.
When the mirror lock-up release is used, the electromagnetic shutter release becomes inoperative. This applies also to the selftimer, shutter release with motorized film transport, and electric cable release. Attention: The correct aperture/shutter speed balance must be set before the mirror has been hinged! To avoid inadvertently releasing the shutter, do not press the depth of field lever at the same time as the mirror lock-up release.
* Accessory, order-no. 14087
Self-timer To set the self-timer, cock the shutter and turn the self-timer button 8 through 30 clockwise in the direction indicated by the arrow. To start the self-timer, with the selector switch in either position or , gently press the shutter release or the locking button for the program selector; the camera remains switched on and the shutter is released after a delay of about 9s. To indicate that the self-timer is activated, the LED 3 flashes; about 2s before the selftimer releases the shutter, the flashing changes to continuous light. Throughout the countdown you can stop the self-timer at any time by turning back the self-timer button 8 to its original position; to prolong
it by restarting, simply press the release button again. Multiple exposures Take the first exposure, press the rewindrelease button 39 , and move the quick-wind lever. The same frame is now ready for a further exposure. At the end of its travel, the quick-wind lever automatically resets the rewind button. To expose the same frame yet again, simply press the rewind-release button 39 each time before you move the quick-wind lever. The Motor Winder and Motor Drive also permit multiple exposures. For details, see the manuals supplied with these accessories.

Using flash equipment The LEICA R6.2 is designed for throughthe-lens flash-exposure control. This uses a separate silicon photodiode, well protected from stray light, in the base of the camera next to the photocell for the selective/ integral exposure-metering modes (see page 10). Used with an SCA 300 or SCA 500 systemcompatible electronic flash unit fitted with an SCA 351 or SCA 551 adapter, the LEICA R6.2 permits TTL flash-exposure control, i.e. the viewfinder indicates when the flash is ready for use and immediately after exposure it shows whether the flash output was adequate for correct exposure. Used with an SCA 350 or SCA 550 adapter, the LEICA R6.2 also switches automatically to X, but in this case the amount of light is controlled by the flash unit's own photocell; flash-exposure control is indicated on the flash unit itself. You may use any commercially available flash unit with a standard coaxial or central hot-shoe flash contact. Connecting two flash units with different voltages (e.g. without thyristor light control) simultaneously is not recommended, as malfunctioning may result.
The shortest exposure for X is 1/100s, while the shutter-speed can also be set manually to any speed from 1/60 to 1s, and to B. With flash units that do not offer TTL-exposure control (non-compatible units), lens aperture is set to the correct position manually (refer to the instruction manual supplied with your flash unit). TTL flash-exposure control The accessory shoe of the LEICA R6.2 has a central hot-shoe contact and control contacts for any electronic flash fitted with an SCA 351 or SCA 551 adapter. If you have switched the flash unit to TTL, the flash is measured and synchronized through the lens. You may use any aperture available on the lens, provided it is within the flash unit's range; for details, see the instruction manual supplied with your flash unit. With the exposure meter switched on (see page 14) and an SCA 300 or SCA 500 flash unit used in conjunction with an SCA 350, SCA 351, SCA 550 or SCA 551 adapter, 'flash' ready is indicated as follows: When the shutter is set to X, the symbol at lower left in the viewfinder flashes twice a second.
When the shutter is set to any speed from l /60 s to 1s, the symbol remains lit constantly. When using an SCA 351 or SCA 551 adapter, leave the finger on the shutter release after exposure to check that the flash was adequate: In the "X"-setting. The symbol in the lower left of the viewfinder flashes slowly at 2 Hz (Hertz): flash was adequate; only slight discharge of condenser, flash immediately ready for use again. Fast flashing eight times a second, then slow flashing (2 Hz): flash was adequate; moderate discharge of condenser, flash ready for use in 2 s. Slow flashing indicates 'flash ready'. Fast flashing (8 Hz) for 2 s, break (no light), then slow flashing (2 Hz): flash was adequate; heavy discharge of condenser. Resumption of flashing indicates 'flash ready'. No light, followed by slow flashing (2 Hz): flash was inadequate and the condenser was fully discharged. Resumption of flashing indicates 'flash ready' (also see table).

Shutter-speed setting ,,B or 1 s to l/60 s After exposure, the symbol in the viewfinder display remains lit (see table). If the setting was too fast for flash, i.e. 1/125 s to 1 \ 2000 s, the symbol does not light. Caution: The film speed set on the camera (see page 9) also governs TTL flashexposure control. Settings on the flash unit are disregarded.

Override with TTL flash-exposure control
Exposure control is always integral. The light reflected by the film is transmitted to a silicon photodiode next to the photocell for the integral/selective exposure-metering modes (see page 10). Though the appearance of the film emulsions used in standard 35 mm film varies, their reflectivity is about the same regardless of type, and this ensures that, as a rule, the exposure is correct. In exceptional circumstances you may have to correct exposure by manual override. For example Polaroid instant film requires negative correction by four to five clickstops. Override correction is also necessary when the subject for flash photography consists mainly of light or dark details (see page 18). Caution: Some flash units indicate "flash ready" and automatically switch the camera to X when the flash unit is still only about 70% fully charged. If you use this type of unit for a flash exposure as soon as the flash ready" sign appears, and the photograph requires the full power of the flash unit, the photograph will be underexposed. It is therefore always advisable in this type of situation to wait a few seconds longer, in order to allow the flash unit to recharge fully before the next flash exposure.
Conventional flash units Connect via coaxial flash socket or central hot-shoe contact of the LEICA R6.2. Coaxial plug Any commercially available electronic flash unit and studio flash equipment with a standard coaxial plug is suitable for use with a LEICA R6.2. Connect the plug to the X synchronized-flash cable socket ( 4 on the left of the prism housing. If you use a commercially available multiple-plug adapter, you can connect several flash units to the X socket. Connecting two flash units with different voltages (e.g. without thyristor light control) simultaneously is not recommended, as malfunctioning may result. Hot-shoe contact Connect conventional electronic flash units to the X hot-shoe contact in the accessory shoe.

LEICA M-Lenses on the LEICA R6.2
35mm f/4 PA CURTAGON-R have a turning mechanism for turning circular polarization filters.
Screw-in filters and filter holders are easy to remove. To prevent strain on the filter, hold it on one side only and unscrew.
Filters Any LEICA R-Lens with a fixed telescopic lens hood is suitable for screw-in and standard filters. For standard filters, a filter holder must be used. These are available as optional accessories. Generally, screw-in filters are preferable, because they are easy to use. This applies particularly to circular polarization filters. Removable lens hoods also serve as filter holders for standard filters. First insert the filter in the lens hood, then attach the hood and filter to the lens (not applicable to the 19mm f/2.8 ELMARIT Lens). The 24mm and 28mm f/2.8 ELMARIT-R and the
Filters and their use In TTL systems, the exposure meter automatically takes into account the reduced amount of light absorbed by the filter in use and that still passes through the lens, but sensitivity in various parts of the spectrum may vary according to the type of film emulsion used. Extreme and very dense filters may therefore cause deviant readings. For example, an orange filter as a rule needs about one extra stop and a red filter an average of about two stops more than the exposure-meter reading obtained. However, the red sensitivity of black-and-white film can vary widely, and no generally applicable values can be given.
In the case of the circular polarization filters we supply for LEICA lenses, determine the exposure as you would do with any other filter, in either integral or selective mode. The highly effective multiple coating on the semi-transparent swing mirror of the LEICA R6.2 acts as a powerful polarizing surface. As a result, the use of linear polarization filters is not advisable, because their positioning to inhibit and transmit light may seriously affect the accuracy of the exposure meter.
Holding the camera correctly To give the camera steady three-point support, and for fast focusing and film transport, hold the camera with the right hand, the index finger resting on the release button 4 and the thumb inserted behind the hinged-out quick-wind lever, while the left hand supports the lens from below.

For upright format (portrait) exposures, simply turn the camera through 90, with your hands in the same position as before, ready to transport the film and focus the lens.
Tips on the care of your LEICA R6.2 and its lenses Carefully remove dust and fluff on the mirror by means of a soft, dry sable brush from which you repeatedly remove any grease with ether before and during cleaning. For cleaning, the brush must be perfectly dry. Avoid mechanical damage to the focusing screen: do not allow the metal ferrule of the brush to touch the screen. To avoid forcing dust into the camera's interior, do not blow into the mirror chamber. To remove dust on external lens surfaces, carefully use a soft sable brush or a clean, dry, soft cotton cloth. Do not use eyeglasscleaning tissue or cloth impregnated with chemicals that may attack the glass of your camera lens; the composition of glass used for eyeglasses is different from that of highperformance camera lenses. In unfavorable conditions such as the seaside, a colourless ultraviolet filter protects the front lens from damage by seawater spray, sand, etc. Although such a filter is optically flat, it forms an additional pair of surfaces which at a certain angle of incidence may cause unwanted light reflection in the image, particularly in photography against the light and with high-contrast sub40
jects. Do not use a filter in such conditions; the lens hood also provides some protection against fingerprints and raindrops. When pointed at the sun, a camera lens acts as a burning glass. To protect your camera, always use a lens cap, keep the camera in its bag, and place it in the shade. In addition to its designation by type and model, each lens has a serial number. Make a note of the serial numbers of all your lenses and of your camera (on the camera baseplate); this information may be important in case of loss.

MOTOR WINDER R MOTOR DRIVE R A Motor-Winder R or Motor-Drive R fitted to the LEICA R6.2 automatically transports the film and cocks the shutter after each exposure. The motor winder transports the film at a speed of up to 2 frames per second. The motor drive can be set for single exposures, 2 fps, or 4fps. Either unit is suitable for all shutter speeds available on the camera. The winder is powered by six standard NiCd rechargeable batteries or non-rechargeable alkaline batteries; the drive requires ten such batteries.
When using the motorized film transport's shutter release, ensure that the exposure meter of the LEICA R6.2 is switched on. If the exposure meter is switched off, the motor functions only when you use the camera's shutter release. Motor Winder R, (Order No 14208) Motor Drive R, (Order No 14 310)
