Quick guide You will need the following items: _ Camera _ Battery (B) _ Memory card (A) _ Mains/charging unit with mains cord (C) Viewing the pictures 12. Set the Record/review selector to J (see p. 155). Press left or right on the direction pad (1.29) to view the desired pictures. Presets 1. Set the main switch (1.25) to OFF. 2. Insert the battery (B) into the camera (see p. 116). 3. Connect the mains/charging unit (C) to charge the battery (see p. 116). 4. Insert the memory card (A) (see p. 118). 5.
Detailed guide Preparation Attaching the carrying strap Open the triangular key rings on the carrying strap (e. g. using a coin) until they can be clipped onto the two eyelets (1.34/1.38) located on the side of the camera housing. Detailed guide / Preparation / 114 Attaching the wrist strap As an alternative to the carrying strap, you can use the wrist strap supplied. 1. To do this, thread the short loop through one of the eyelets and then 2. pull the other end through the loop.
Fitting the monitor hood When using the camera outside in bright sunlight, particularly with the sun behind you, it may be difficult to see the monitor screen. The monitor hood attached to the monitor (I, in scope of delivery) normally enables the image to be seen much more easily even under the conditions mentioned above. Attaching the monitor hood 1. Fold the larger flap from the smaller bottom section by 90°. 2.
Note: Remove the lens cap when turning the camera on in one of the record modes. Otherwise, an error message appears (see p. 119). Inserting and removing the battery The LEICA DIGILUX 1 is powered by a powerful and fast-charging lithium ion battery. This type of battery should be used exclusively in the camera, and the battery should only be charged with the equipment provided for this purpose. 1. Set the main switch (1.25) to OFF. 2. Open the battery compartment door (1.41) by turning the locking lever (1.
When charging is complete – after approx. 2 hours – the mains/charging unit should be disconnected from the mains and the camera in that order. However, there is no risk of overcharging. With the 64 MB SD memory card supplied, the following recording times/number of pictures are then available: with monitor turned on approx. 120 min/240 pictures with monitor turned off approx. 180 min/360 pictures 5. Close the door again, by pressing it down and sliding it forwards until it locks into place.
Inserting and removing the memory card The LEICA DIGILUX 1 saves the picture data on an extremely compact SD (secure digital) card. Alternatively, MultiMediaCards can be used. SD memory cards and MultiMediaCards are small, light and removable external storage media. SD memory cards, particularly those with high capacity, allow pictures to be taken and reviewed much more quickly. They have a write protection switch, which you can use to lock the card against data being unintentionally saved or deleted.
The most important settings/controls Turning the camera on/off The camera is turned on and off using the main switch (1.25). This is done by turning it to the appropriate position, marked with ON and OFF. If the record and review function selector (1.14) is set to one of the record modes when the camera is turned on, the lens moves from the idle to standby position and the green LED (1.21) lights up.
LED displays The LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) act as status and warning displays. The green LED (1.21) flashes when the battery is being charged to indicate that charging is still underway, or that the capacity of the battery is almost used up. It lights up permanently when the battery is charged but the mains/charging unit is still connected (see p. 117). The green LED also lights up after the camera is turned on as confirmation that it is ready to use.
Additionally (and only) for exposure mode P and when pressing shutter release to pressure point o. The automatically controlled shutter speed and aperture values Additionally (and only) for exposure modes A and T and when pressing shutter release to pressure point p. The manually set shutter speed (for A) and aperture values (for T).
Selecting menu items Many of the LEICA DIGILUX 1 modes and functions are operated using a menu system, which is shown clearly and step by step in the LCD monitor (1.32). You can select the appropriate menu items to set the different functions within the various record and review modes. You can also use this menu system to set all other functions, such as the date and time or the volume of the acknowledgement tones.
Please note that the record and review menus contain more functions (11 or 8, see p. 108) than the 6 that can be shown on the monitor at the same time. These menu items are accessed simply by continuing to press down on the direction pad. 3. You can then press right on the direction pad to set the function of the currently selected menu item.
6. Set the desired figure by pressing up or down on the direction pad. Pressing up increases the value, pressing down decreases it. The remaining figures or the month are set in the same way. The set value/month is saved by selecting the next value/month. 7. After setting the year, go to the next line by pressing right on the direction pad, where the sequence in which the figures are shown can be adjusted.
AUTO Fully automatic (see p. 127) All of the important functions for the exposure, such as exposure mode, exposure metering method, flash control and focussing are set automatically. P Programmes automatic exposure mode (see p. 135) The shutter speed and aperture values are controlled automatically, but other functions can be set according to the situation. A Aperture priority mode (see p. 136) The shutter speed is automatically controlled, depending on the manually set aperture.
Record mode Using the optical zoom The LEICA DC VARIO SUMMICRON 7-21 mm f/2–2.5 ASPH. in the LEICA DIGILUX 1 is a high-performance 3x zoom lens. Its range of focal lengths corresponds to 33-100 mm on a 35 mm camera and allows both somewhat larger trimmed areas, e. g. for interior shots, and picture composition concentrated on individual sections of the subject, e. g. for portraits. Pressing it to the left reduces the focal length (wide-angle range) for larger trimmed areas.
4. Activate the digital zoom function by pressing right on the direction pad. The option currently set is marked in yellow. 5. Press the MENU button again to save your setting and to exit the menu system. The original monitor screen appears again. Zooming itself, and taking the pictures, is done in exactly the same way as described in the previous section (Using the optical zoom”. However, the zoom scale in the monitor is extended to the right with a digital zoom area marked in blue.
6. Press the shutter release all the way down to take the photograph. If the automatic review function is set (o AUTO REVIEW, see p. 129), the picture will appear in the monitor for around 2 s after it has been taken. Notes: If you have set an automatic switch off time (see p. 179), the camera automatically switches into an energy-saving standby mode after the selected time. You can activate it again either by pressing the shutter release or by turning if off and back on again.
7. Pressing the shutter release all the way down stops recording. Video recording ends automatically when the memory card capacity is reached. The following functions are available for video recordings, although they cannot be changed during recording: _ Macro setting _ Manual focus _ Use of optical attachments Notes: Video recordings are always made with sound recording. The corresponding symbol appears in the data field and the monitor.
Deleting the picture during viewing While a picture is shown enlarged in the monitor using this function, you can take this opportunity to delete it if you wish to do so. 1. To do this, press the MENU button (1.27) again. Note: This function is only available for as long as the camera has not turned itself off automatically (see p. 179). 2. If you the VIEW/SET button again during viewing of the enlarged picture, a 4x enlarged trimmed area of the picture is shown.
Taking photographs with the built-in flash unit Six flash modes are available for various situations: AUTO (Automatic flash activation) This is the default mode. A corresponding symbol appears in the LCD data field (1.18). AUTO 3 (Automatic flash and pre-flash activation) to reduce “red eye” effects. The corresponding symbols appear in the LCD data field and the monitor (1.32). 1 (Manual flash activation) e. g.
Record modes AUTO AUTO 3 1 4 5/6 2 AUTO P A T M K x x x – – x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x – x x x x x – x – – – – – x The table tells you which of the flash modes can be used with which record modes. The flash range for automatic (autofocus) and manual focus is as follows: at maximum wide-angle setting approx. 0.3-4.5m at maximum telephoto setting approx. 0.3-3.5m with macro setting: at maximum wide-angle setting approx. 0.1-0.5m at maximum telephoto setting approx. 0.2-0.
2. By repeatedly pressing the self timer button (Q, 1.12) you can set the various function types. They scroll through in an endless loop as follows: Self timer mode with 10 s delay Self timer mode with 2 s delay Self timer off (= default setting) The corresponding symbols appear in the LCD data field (1.18) and the monitor (1.32) (but with no time details in the data field). 3. Press the shutter release all the way down to take the photograph.
Further functions Series exposures You can not only use the LEICA DIGILUX 1 to take single pictures but also to produce sequences of pictures. At a maximum image frequency of 3.8B/s, a maximum of 4/8 pictures are possible in this mode, which means that sequences of movement with a maximum length of 2 s can be recorded. Notes: Series exposures are not possible either with video recordings or with uncompressed “TIFF” image data recording (see p. 148). Series exposures are not possible when using the flash.
Taking photographs with programmed automatic exposure mode P As for AUTO mode (see p. 127), the exposure is controlled by automatic setting of the shutter speed and aperture. However, in contrast to AUTO, this mode does not obligatorily include other settings. For example, with P you can freely select the focus and flash modes. Furthermore, a range of further functions are available with P. 6. Press the shutter release (1.11) all the way down to take the photograph.
Taking photographs with speed priority mode T Speed priority mode automatically controls the exposure with manual setting of the shutter speed. It is therefore particularly well suited for taking pictures of moving subjects, where the sharpness of the movement portrayed – which is determined by the shutter speed used – is the crucial element of composition.
Setting the function: 1. Set the Record/review selector (1.14) to one of the record modes. 2. Set the exposure mode dial (1.15) to A. 3. Set the desired aperture value by pressing up or down on the direction pad (1.29). 4. Pictures are taken as described in the section “Taking pictures in AUTO mode” (see p. 127).
Notes: If shutter speeds of 1/500s or faster are set, the range of automatically controlled aperture values is limited: at 1/1000s only f/8 is available, at 1/750s only values up to a maximum of f/6.7, at 1/500s a maximum of f/4.8. If, as a result of the brightness of the subject being too high or low, correct exposure is not possible with the set shutter speed and the available aperture values, the colour of the display of the value changes from white to red.
Metering memory-lock For composition reasons, it can be beneficial not to have the main subject in the center of the picture. However, the autofocus metering field is then normally focused on a section of the subject, which is significantly nearer or further away – the result would normally be that the main subject is blurred. In principle, the same thing applies to exposure metering with regard to the brightness differences.
Note: The AE-MENU button is used to set several kinds of functions. They scroll through in an endless loop and can therefore be selected by repeatedly pressing the button. 3. Select the desired compensation value by pressing left or right on the direction pad (1.29). The digital display and the yellow marking show your setting. The symbol R (2.8) appears in the LCD data field to indicate that an exposure compensation is set. 4. To confirm and save your setting, press the VIEW/SET button (1.
6. Press right on the direction pad if you want 5 pictures. If you want to use 3 pictures, the option that is shown first, you can proceed immediately with step 7. Note: If you subsequently want to change the exposure graduation (again), press up on the direction pad and proceed as described under point 4. 4. Select the desired exposure graduation between the individual pictures by pressing left or right respectively on the direction pad to increase or decrease the graduation.
Notes: The macro function is not available for video recordings K. At extremely close range, the monitor should be used to set the trimming, as the parallax error in the optical viewfinder is too great in such cases. If the AUTO mode is used, the operating range of the aperture control is limited to values from f/4-8 due to the extremely low depth of field for close-range pictures and the resulting critical focus setting. 4. Select the desired function by pressing left or right on the direction pad.
Using manual focus For certain subjects and situations, it can be beneficial to set the focus yourself, rather than using autofocus (see p. 127). For example, if the same setting is needed for several pictures and using metering memory-lock (see p. 139) would therefore involve more effort, or if the setting for landscape pictures is to be kept at infinity, or if you want to focus on particular details, which are even smaller than the Spot AF metering field (see p. 141).
appropriate picture for further use. 2 numbers of pictures are available: 3 or 5. Notes: The focussing ring uses electrical transmission and does not have a stop point at its shortest and longest setting. As a consequence, there are no fixed distance positions. There are no focussing aids in very low light. 5. Pictures are taken as described in the section “Taking pictures in AUTO mode“ (see p. 127).
4. Move to the line below by pressing down on the direction pad, where you can select the desired number of pictures. Yellow arrows pointing up and to the right indicate how you should make the subsequent settings. 5. Press right on the direction pad if you want 5 pictures (only possible with high compression rate). If you want to use 3 pictures, which is the first option shown, you can proceed immediately with step 6.
Flash exposure compensation This function can be used to selectively reduce or strengthen the flash exposure regardless of the exposure of the available light, e. g. in a picture taken outside in the evening, to lighten the face of a person in the foreground while retaining the lighting atmosphere. Once set, a flash exposure compensation remains effective until it is (deliberately) reset. 6. Pictures are taken as described in the section “Taking pictures in AUTO mode” (see p. 127).
5. Pictures are taken as described in the section “Taking pictures in AUTO mode” (see p. 127). Using an additional flash unit To extend the flash range, you can attach a (more powerful) external flash unit to the LEICA DIGILUX 1. Notes: It is not possible to make video recordings (K) in flash mode – even with an external unit (charging time!).
7. Press the MENU button again to confirm and save your setting and to exit the menu system. The displays in the monitor described above disappear, with the previous monitor screen appearing instead. Available resolutions Setting to: 2240 corresponds to 2240 x 1680 pixels 1600 corresponds to 1600 x 1200 pixels 1120 corresponds to 1120 x 840 pixels 640 corresponds to 640 x 480 pixels 8. Turn on the flash unit.
Available compression rates: Setting to: y low compression rate Y high compression rate TIFF uncompressed recording (Tagged Image File Format) Notes: In AUTO record mode, uncompressed data recording TIFF is not available. Saving uncompressed data in TIFF format takes considerably longer than compressed data – in extreme cases, i. e. for subjects with a great many details, up to around 30s. This is indicated by the red signals that appear during saving; the red LED (1.
Setting the white balance In electronic photography, white balance provides neutral, i. e. natural, reproduction of color in any light. It is based on the camera being set in advance to reproduce a particular color as white. With the LEICA DIGILUX 1, you can choose from seven different settings: § automatic control, which almost always provides the correct results, five fixed presets for the most common light sources, $ e. g. for outdoor pictures in sunlight, % e. g.
Setting the white balance manually By contrast, if you have selected manual white balance, the corresponding display SET flashes to indicate that this function requires further settings to be made. To do this, proceed as follows: 7. Press the VIEW/SET button (1.31). 8. Aim the camera at an object which you know is white or neutral grey. It should fill the frame in the monitor. 10. Pictures are taken as described in the section “Taking pictures in AUTO mode” (see p. 127).
4. You can set the options (see point 3) by repeatedly pressing left or right on the direction pad. They scroll through in an endless loop as follows: AUTO 100 200 400 The option currently set is marked in yellow. 5. Press the MENU button again to confirm and save your setting and to exit the menu system. The original monitor screen appears again. If a value (not AUTO) has been set, it also appears in the data field and the monitor. 6.

The appropriate symbol (2, 3.2g) also appears to indicate that the flash unit is turned off. 6. Unscrew the lens front ring (1.9) anticlockwise. 7. Screw the adapter and/or lens attachment clockwise onto the lens mount. 8.
Review mode Reviewing single pictures As described in the section “Checking the last picture (REVIEW) on p. 129, pictures are briefly shown in the monitor directly after they have been taken. By contrast, review mode allows you to view the pictures at any time, with no time limit, e. g. to decide whether you want to delete a picture or to view other pictures on the memory card. Notes: The LEICA DIGILUX 1 saves pictures according to the DCF standard (Design Rule for Camera File System).
Notes: For playback, make sure that the speaker (1.30) is not covered, e. g. by one of your fingers. The playback cannot be interrupted and it is not possible to select or set any other functions while it is going on. Simultaneous review of up to nine pictures The LEICA DIGILUX 1 allows you to view up to 9 pictures (or less if less pictures are saved) in the monitor simultaneously, e. g. to gain an overview or to find the picture you want more quickly.
Zoom and trimming selection for reviewing single pictures To assess a single picture more accurately on the monitor, you can enlarge it by up to 16x in several stages and select any trimming.
