Modes with manual flash activation

As described in the section "Modes with automatic flash activation" on p. 92, the LEICA CM automatically activates the flash in back-
light situations. However, if the darker part of the subject is not to be positioned in the center of the picture for composition reasons,
the built-in flash unit will not be used due to the adequate overall brightness. The same applies in the case where you want to mod-
erate high contrast (e.g. in direct sunlight). In such situations, it can be useful to switch on the flash manually.
As long as these modes are activated, the flash unit is activated for every picture, regardless of the prevailing lighting conditions,
otherwise the functions correspond exactly with those modes with automatic flash activation (No. 1–5).
