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

Beep signals after taking a photograph<br />
• A short (about two seconds) uninterrupted beep signal directly after a picture<br />
is taken indicates that the shot was exposed correctly and the flash is ready<br />
again. If no beep signal sounds, then the shot was underexposed.<br />
• An intermittent (– – –) beep signal directly after a shot indicates that it was<br />
correctly exposed. However, the flash is only ready after a second (about two<br />
seconds) continuous beep.<br />
Notes :<br />
• The beep signal indicating renewed flash readiness after a picture is taken<br />
occurs only after a full capacity output. This means it always occurs with flash<br />
mode M (with the exception of a partial capacity output due to a respective<br />
setting), and with the A and TTL flash modes only if even a maximum output<br />
was not sufficient for a correct exposure.<br />
• In the case of the <strong>Leica</strong> M 8 / M 8.2 models and TTL mode, the beep signal<br />
occurs only after a full capacity output, indicating only the renewed flash readiness,<br />
not a successful exposure.<br />
Setting the function (see also “Menu navigation / setting the functions”, p. 46)<br />
1. In the basic settings menu Menu<br />
, select the item “Beep” and<br />
2. there the desired setting.<br />
When the beep function is turned on, the symbol is also displayed on the<br />
monitor.
