Leica MC120 HD / MC170 HD User Manual Application 30
General Notes
Before capturing the image, ensure
that enough memory is available on
the SD card and that write protection has
not been activated. If the SD memory card
is full or protected, the Leica MC120 HD /
MC170 HD's status light stays red, and you
cannot acquire any more images.
In order to avoid instrument malfunc-
tions, do not connect the Leica MC120 HD /
MC170 HD to a computer while in HD mode
(standalone).
In the highest resolution, a single image
takes up approx. 1.3 megabytes of stor-
age space on the SD card. This means that
per gigabyte of capacity, you can save over
700 images.

2. Push the SD memory card into the slot on
