The rear of the camera is dominated by that larger-than-average 2.5" LCD monitor. Above and to the right of this are an array of buttons most of which are associated with digital functions. The direction pad provides 4-way movement control and also self-timer and review function. Surrounding the direction pad is a rotating 'setting ring' which is used to select or change options once a choice is displayed on screen (it's like a mini version of that found on certain digital SLR's).
 |
Play mode Switches the camera to play mode, displays the last image taken or the last image on the SD card using the last used display mode. Personally I would have preferred not to have a separate play mode but rather to change the function of the 'Auto Review' button to provide a full shooting priority play option. |
 |
Continuous shooting
mode The camera takes images continuously while the shutter release button is held and while there is space available in the camera buffer. You can select High or Low continuous shooting speed (2.7 fps or 1.0 fps respectively). |
 |
Single image shooting
mode The camera takes one shot for each depression of the shutter release button. This is the normal shooting mode. |
 |
Power on/off Move the power lever to the On position to power up the camera which takes approximately 1.8 seconds from off to ready to shoot. Upon turning the camera off the Leica logo is displayed on the LCD monitor while the camera shuts down, this includes any time required to complete writing images to the SD card. |
