They do not seem to click indicating shutter speed. Arnold, Those numbers are shutter speeds in whole seconds. The shutter is acually on B at this point, but the speeds are on the dial to allow you take readings with the internal meter for speeds slower than 1 second; you will need to time them yourself with a cable release, however. The Leicameters also have speeds in whole seconds for the same reason. - - Paul
