Both metering modes are available with the aperture priority AE, as well as manual mode, coupled with the selective meter reading, for occasions where the aperture and shutter speed can be set independently.

:TTL flash metering system is fully available as per the [[R5]] specification." -[http://br.collection.pagesperso-orange.fr/leica/index.html jcb]
