MARKING THE PICTURE FILES FOR COPYRIGHT PROTECTION
The Leica S enables you to mark your picture files by entering text or
other characters. You can enter up to 17 characters under 2 headings for
each picture.
1. In the menu, under
SETUP , select the item Copyright Information
• The sub-menu containing the three options Copyright, Information
and
Artist appears in the monitor. Only the Copyright Information
line is initially activated.
2. Activate the
Copyright function.
• The
Information and Artist lines are activated.
3. Select
Information or Artist, and
• The keyboard sub-menu appears in both cases.
4. Make the desired settings there
The procedure corresponds exactly to that described in section
"Resetting picture numbers" in steps 3./5.
• The sub-menu from step 2. appears again.
RECORDING THE LOCATION WITH GPS
The Global Positioning System enables the current position of the
receiver to be determined worldwide. When the function is activated the
Leica S continuously receives the corresponding signals and updates the
position data. You can write this information - latitude and longitude,
height above sea level - to the "EXIF" data.
Setting the function
1. In the menu, under SETUP , select the item GPS and
2. switch the function
On or Off
• The "Satellite" symbol in the top panel display indicates the status:
–
Last position determined up to 6 minutes ago
–
Last position determined up to 24 hours ago
–
No position data available
Notes on the function:
• GPS positioning requires as clear a path as possible to at least 3 of the
GPS satellites (of the total of 24 satellites, up to 9 are available from
any point on earth). We therefore recommend holding the camera with
the GPS aerial pointing vertically upwards.
• Make sure that the GPS aerial is not covered with your hand or any
other item, particularly metal objects.
• It may not be possible to receive good signals from GPS satellites at
the following locations or in the following situations. In such cases,
positioning may not be possible at all, or may be incorrect:
– In closed rooms
– Underground
– Under trees
– In a moving vehicle
– Close to high buildings or in steep valleys
– Close to high voltage cables
– In tunnels
– Close to mobile telephones
– With accessories attached to the flash shoe, e.g. a flash unit
We recommend that when activating the GPS function after prolonged
storage of the camera, this is always done first at a point with good
"reception".
Information for safe use
The electromagnetic radiation generated by the GPS system can affect
instruments and measuring equipment. Therefore, make sure the GPS
function is deactivated e.g. on board an aircraft before takeoff or landing,
in hospitals or in other locations where there are restrictions on wireless
transmissions.
Important (legal restrictions on use):
• In certain countries or regions, the use of GPS and associated technol-
ogies may be restricted.
• Therefore, before traveling in other countries you should consult the
relevant country's embassy or your travel agent.
• The use of GPS inside the People's Republic of China and Cuba and
close to their borders (exceptions: Hong Kong and Macao) is prohib-
ited by national laws.
• Violations will be prosecuted by the authorities. The GPS function is
therefore deactivated automatically in these areas.
