LANGUAGE
The language used in the default setting of the menu
system is English, i. e. all menu items initially appear
with their English names. They are therefore cited so
in these Instructions.
German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese or Chinese
can also be selected as alternative menu languages.

Setting the viewfinder and monitor brightness -
c FINDER/ c MONITOR
The brightness of the viewfinder and monitor images
on the LEICA DIGILUX 2 can be set so that you can
adjust it optimally for any situation, i. e. the prevailing
light conditions. The setting only concerns the LCD
currently in use, i. e. it is separate for the viewfinder
and the monitor.
Note: The brightness setting affects the battery life:
the brighter, the higher the power consumption and,
therefore, the shorter the battery life.
Setting the function
1. Use the EVF / LCD button (1.21) to select the view-
finder or monitor LCD, depending on where you
want to change the brightness. It makes no
difference whether you are in record or review
modes.
