Notes
• Never switch off the camera while data transfer is in progress.
• All data stored on a memory card will be lost during formatting.
Formatting will not be prevented by the deletion protection set
for individual pictures.
• All images should therefore be regularly transferred to a safe
mass storage medium, e.g. the hard disk of a computer.
• A simple formatting process will initially not irretrievably destroy
existing data on the card. Only the directory will be deleted,
which means the data will no longer be directly accessible. Data
access can be restored with appropriate software. Only data
that is overwritten when new data is saved will actually be
irretrievable.
• A memory card should be formatted again in the camera if it was
formatted in another device, e.g. a computer.
• Contact your retailer or Leica Customer Care if the memory card
cannot be formatted/overwritten (see p. 220).
DATA TRANSFER
Data can be conveniently transferred to mobile devices via Leica
FOTOS (see p. 194). Alternatively, a card reader or USB cable can
be used for the transfer.
ABOUT LEICA FOTOS
▸ See chapter "Leica FOTOS" (p. 194)
VIA USB CABLE
The camera supports multiple data transfer options (PTP and mass
storage mode). A transfer mode can be permanently selected or

Notes
• We recommend using a card reader for the transfer of large files
(e.g. video recordings).
• The USB connection must not be interrupted while data is being
transferred, as the computer or the camera could otherwise
"crash" and irreparable damage could occur on the memory
card.
• The camera must not be turned off or automatically shut itself
down due to a lack of battery power while data is being
transferred, as this can cause the computer to crash. For the
same reason, the battery must never be removed from the
camera while the connection is active.
