Compatible memory cards
The camera saves the pictures on an SD (secure digital), SDHC
(high capacity), or SDXC (eXtended capacity) card.
SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards are available from various suppli-
ers and with different capacities and read/write speeds. Particu-
larly those with high capacities and read/write speeds allow data
to be recorded and retrieved very quickly. The cards have a write
protection switch, which can be used to prevent unintentional
storage and deletion of pictures. This switch takes the form of a
slider on the non-beveled side of the card; in the lower position,
marked LOCK, the data on the card is protected.
Note:
Do not touch the memory card contacts.
Displaying the memory card capacity
You can display the number photographs that can still be taken in
the viewfinder:
1. Turn on the camera
• The battery capacity is displayed first.
2. Press the function button 1x
Only necessary if the viewfinder display has switched itself off
again even though the camera is switched on:
3. Press the shutter release button to the first pressure point
4. Press the function button 1x
• The relevant value is displayed.
3s after the shutter release button has been pressed to the
first pressure point, or after the function button has been let
go, the display returns to the normal state.
When the card's capacity limit has been reached,
Full
always
appears, irrespective of whether the viewfinder display was
switched on before or not.
Notes:
• The range of SD/SDHC/SDXC cards is too large for Leica
Camera AG to be able to completely test all available types for
compatibility and quality. Although using other card types is not
likely to damage the camera or the card, some "no name" cards
do not comply with the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards and Leica
Camera AG is unable to provide any guarantee that they will
function correctly.
• If the memory card cannot be inserted, check that it is aligned
correctly.
• As electromagnetic fields, electrostatic charges, and defects on the
camera or the card can lead to damage or loss of the data on the
memory card, we recommend that you also transfer the data to a
computer and save it there (see p. 90).
• For the same reason, it is recommended that the card is always
stored in its antistatic cover.
