Flash sync time: = 1/180 s; slower shutter speeds can be used, if working below sync speed: Automatic changeover to TTL linear flash mode with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units

Flash exposure metering: Using centre-weighted TTL pre-flash metering with Leica flash units (SF40, SF64, SF26), or flash units compatible with the system with SCA3502 M5 adapter

Flash measurement cell: 2 silicon photo diodes with collection lens on the camera base
Flash exposure compensation: +/-3EV in1⁄3EV increments
Displays in flash mode
(in viewfinder only): 		Using flash symbol LED
Viewfinder  
Construction principle: Large, bright line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation
Eye piece: Calibrated to -0.5 dpt.; corrective lenses from -3 to +3 diopter available
Image field limiter: By activating two bright lines each: For 35 and 135mm, or for 28 and 90mm, or for 50 and 75mm; automatic switching when lens is attached.
Parallax compensation: The horizontal and vertical difference between the viewfinder and the lens is automatically compensated according to the relevant distance setting, i.e. the viewfinder bright-line automatically aligns with the subject detail recorded by the lens.
Matching viewfinder and actual image: At a range setting of 2m, the bright-line frame size corresponds exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm; at infinity setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3% (28mm) to 18% (135mm) more is recorded by the sensor than indicated by the corresponding bright line frame and slightly less for shorter distance settings than 2m
Magnification: (For all lenses) 0.73 x
Long-base rangefinder: Split or superimposed image range finder shown as a bright field in the centre of the viewfinder image
Effective metering base: 50.6mm (mechanical measurement basis 69.31mm x viewfinder magnification 0.73x)
Displays  
In the viewfinder: Four-digit digital display with exposure alerts above and below
On back: 3" colour TFT LCD monitor with 16 million colours and 1,036,800 pixels, approx. 100 % image field, glass cover of extremely hard, scratch-resistant GorillaR glass, colour space: sRGB, for Live-View and review mode, displays
Shutter and shutter release  
Shutter: Metal blade focal plane shutter with vertical movement
Shutter speeds: For aperture priority: (A) continuous from 16min to 1⁄4000s., for manual adjustment: 8s to 1⁄4000s in half steps, from 8s to 16min in half steps, B: For long exposures up to maximum 16min (in conjunction with self-timer T function, i.e. 1st release = shutter opens, 2nd release = shutter closes),(1⁄180s): Fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization, HSS linear flash mode possible with all shutter speeds faster than 1⁄180s (with HSS- compatible Leica system flash units)
Picture series: Approx. 4.5 pictures/s
Shutter release button: Two-stage, 1st step: Activation of the camera electronics including exposure metering and exposure lock (in aperture priority mode), 2nd step: Shutter release; standard thread for cable release integrated.
Self-timer: Delay optionally 2s (aperture priority and manual exposure setting) or 12s, set in menu, indicated by flashing LED on front of camera and corresponding display in monitor.
Turning the camera on/off: Using main switch on top of camera; optional automatic shutdown of camera electronics after approx. 2/5/10 minutes; reactivated by tapping the shutter release

Power supply: 1 Lithium-ion rechargeable battery, nominal voltage 7.4V, capacity 1100mAh.; maximum charging current/voltage: DC 1000mA, 7.4V; Model No.: BP-SCL5; Manufacturer: PT. VARTA Microbattery, Made in Indonesia, Operating conditions (in camera): 0°C - + 40°C
Charger: Inputs: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, 300mA, automatic switching, or 12V DC, 1.3A; Output: DC 7.4V, 1000mA/max. 8.25V, 1100mA; Model No.: BC-SCL5; Manufacturer: Guangdong PISEN Electronics Co., Ltd., Made in China, Operating conditions: 0°C - + 35°C
GPS (only with Leica Visoflex Viewfinder attached, available as an accessory): Optional (not available everywhere due to country-specific legislation, i.e. enforced automatic shutdown in those countries), data are written to EXIF header in picture files. Wi-Fi Complies with IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard (standard Wifi protocol), channel 1-11, encryption method: Wifi-compatible WPATM/WPA2TM encryption, access method: Infrastructure mode
Camera body  
Material: All-metal die cast magnesium body, synthetic leather covering. Brass top panel and base, black chrome plated finish
Image field selector: Allows the bright-line pairs to be manually activated at any time (e.g. to compare detail)
Tripod thread: A . (.") DIN stainless steel in bottom
Operating conditions: 0–40 °C
Interfaces: ISO accessory shoe with additional contacts for Leica Visoflex viewfinder (available as an accessory)
Dimensions: (width x depth x height) approx. 139 x 38.5 x 80mm
Weight: approx. 660g (with battery)

Is there a RAW histogram display?

Jeff

The small histogram is explained on page 85 of the manual. I didn't find information on whether it's generated from raw data or the jpg preview.

From the manual:

  • The histogram is always based on the brightness displayed; depending on the settings used, it may not represent the final exposure.
  • In picture mode, the histogram should be regarded as a "trend indicator”.
  • The histogram during rendering may differ slightly from the one during exposure.
  • Histogram is available only in full screen mode.

I suppose it could be similar to the MM1, when shooting RAW, whereby the initial JPEG histogram is then rendered in RAW after a short delay. But the language is unclear.  I’m not sure how the M246 operates.  I’ll ask Jono on his review thread.

OMG M10 Monochrom with 41MP can produce lossless compressed DNG with an old Maestro II ! 
 

Why Q2 and SL2 can’t do such thing with their 47MP sensor ? 

In his review, Jono noted slow image processing  and writing times on M10M. If that is caused by the compression algorithm, I would have preferred uncompressed DNGs.

How about the weather proofing? I guess it is the same as for the M10. I have a M10 now and have been very gentle with it. I had a M240 that I tested once in a rain shower and it gave me a scare as I got moisture inside the range finder window. It dried out after a couple of hours but after that I always used a plastic bag if it was raining. I think that the M10 generation is supposed to be better protected, but is it enough for landscape work in bad weather.

M10 platform provides better protection than the M240, but is not sealed to the degree of the SL (IP52) or SL2 (IP54).  M lenses also aren’t sealed as SL lenses, but close tolerances and lubricants help.  Many, however, manage to use M bodies of all kinds in inclement weather, with a bit of common sense.
