| Viewfinder |
Large, bright-line rangefinder with automatic parallax compensation, suitable for -0.5 dpt; optional corrective lenses available: -3 to +3 dpt |
| Display |
Four-digit digital display with items show on the top and bottom, Image field limiter: two lit frames: 35 mm + 135 mm, 28 mm + 90 mm, 50 mm + 75 mm (automatic switchover when lens is attached) |
| Parallax compensation |
The horizontal and vertical difference between viewfinder and lens is compensated automatically in line with the relevant focus setting. Congruence of viewfinder and actual image. The size of the bright-line frame matches the distance:
at 2m: the exact sensor size of approx. 23.9x35.8mm
at infinity: (depending on focal length) approx. 7.3% (28mm) to 18% (135mm)
less than 2m: less than sensor size |
| Viewfinder magnification |

Exposure Bracketing |
| Focus range: |
70 cm to ∞ |
| Focus mode: |
Manual (focus assist functions Magnification and Focus Peaking available) |
| Exposure metering: |
TTL (exposure metering through the lens) with working aperture |

Exposure metering is done by the image sensor for all exposure metering methods (in Live View mode and in rangefinder mode) |
| Exposure metering: |
Spot, Center-Weighted, Multi-Field |
| Exposure modes: |
Aperture priority mode (A): Automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture preselection |
| |
Manual (M): manual setting for shutter speed and aperture |
| Exposure compensation: |
±3 EV in 1⁄3 EV increments |
| Automatic bracketing: |
3 or 5 frames, graduations between shoots up to 3EV, in 1⁄3EV increments, additional optional exposure compensation: up to ±3EV |

Flash exposure metering is done by the image sensor for all exposure metering methods (in Live View mode and in rangefinder mode) |
| Flash sync time: |
1⁄180s, slower shutter speeds available, automatic switchover to TTL linear flash mode with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units if sync time is undercut |
| Flash exposure metering: |
Using center-weighted TTL pre-flash metering with Leica flash units (SF26, SF40, SF58, SF60, SF64) or with system-compatible flash units, remote controlled flash SFC1 |
| Flash exposure compensation: |
SF 40: ±2 EV in 1⁄2 EV increments |
| |
