Beep function

The beep function allows the user to receive an acoustic signal for certain func-
tions of the flash unit. This allows the photographer to concentrate fully on the
subject and taking the picture, and not worry about any optical status indicators!
The beep function signals acoustically when the flash is ready, when the cor-
rect flash exposure has been achieved or when an error occurs.
Acoustic signal after the flash unit has been turned on
A short (about two seconds) uninterrupted beep signal after turning the flash
unit on indicates that it is ready.

Beep signals after taking a photograph
• A short (about two seconds) uninterrupted beep signal directly after a picture
is taken indicates that the shot was exposed correctly and the flash is ready
again. If no beep signal sounds, then the shot was underexposed.
• An intermittent (– – –) beep signal directly after a shot indicates that it was
correctly exposed. However, the flash is only ready after a second (about two
seconds) continuous beep.
Notes :
• The beep signal indicating renewed flash readiness after a picture is taken
occurs only after a full capacity output. This means it always occurs with flash
mode M (with the exception of a partial capacity output due to a respective
setting), and with the A and TTL flash modes only if even a maximum output
was not sufficient for a correct exposure.
• In the case of the Leica M 8 / M 8.
occurs only after a full capacity output, indicating only the renewed flash rea-
diness, not a successful exposure.
