USING THE BUILT-IN FLASH UNIT
Die Leica X Vario has a built-in flash unit (4).  When not in use, it is 

retracted into the camera housing and turned off. To take pictures 

using the flash it must be extended:

Press the release slider (20) towards the center of the camera

The flash unit then pops up automatically into its working position and 

is also turned on.

• The display for the set flash mode appears in white. If the flash unit 

is not yet fully charged and therefore is not ready, it flashes in red 

for a short time.

Whenever you want to take pictures without flash, leave it retracted or 

press it down carefully until it clicks into place.

• To determine the flash exposure a metering flash is fired immedi-

ately before taking the picture - and the main flash.

• Continuous series of pictures and automatic bracketing are not 

possible when using flash. In such cases, even when the flash unit 

is extended no flash display appears and the flash is not fired.
