| Viewfinder/LCD panel | |
| 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 2 m: the exact sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8 mm – at infinity: (depending on focal length) approx. 7.3% (28 mm) to 18% (135 mm) – less than 2 m: less than sensor size |

| Flash | |
| Flash unit connector | Via the accessory shoe |
| Metering principle | 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 | 1⁄180 s, 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 (SF 26, SF 40, SF 58, SF 60, SF 64) or with system-compatible flash units, remote controlled flash SF C1 |
| Flash exposure compensation | SF 40: ±2 EV in 1⁄2 EV increments SF 60: ±2 EV in 1⁄3 EV increments Other: ±3 EV in 1⁄3 EV increments |
| Displays in flash mode (in the viewfinder only) | Flash icon: Connection of an external flash unit |
