The R6 was the first mechanical, manual-exposure-only SLR produced by Leica since the SL2 was discontinued. Metering modes are center-weighted averaging or a central 7mm spot. Metering is done via a match-diode display in the viewfinder. Shutter speeds range from 1-1/1000 +B, with X sync occurring at 1/100. Other features include a motor drive option, mirror-lock-up (the first Leica since the original Leicaflex to have one), interchangeable focusing screens, TTL flash metering with SCA-compatible flash units, depth-of-field preview, a self-timer and viewfinder diopter adjustments.
