Using the macro function
In AF mode, the LEICA DIGILUX 1 allows pictures
to be taken at a distance of up to 30cm. The
macro function supplements the automatic focus
range for the frame-filling depiction of tiny objects
(reproduction ratio 1:11) at distances of up to
6cm (at maximum wide-angle lens position) or
20cm (at maximum telephoto lens position). The
maximum distance to the subject in macro mode
is 50cm.
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.
Setting the function:
1. Set the record/review selector (1.14) to one of
the record modes and the exposure mode dial
(1.15) to the desired function.
2. Set the focus mode dial (1.6) to
+.
The display
+ then appears in the data field
(1.8) and the monitor (1.32) (2.17, 3.4.b).
3. Pictures are taken as described in the section
“Taking pictures in
