Monitor And Top Panel Display; Signal Tones - Leica S Instructions Manual

Signal tones

With the Leica S you can decide whether messages or autofocus mode
should be confi rmed by acoustic signals, or whether the camera opera-
tion should be more or less silent. Two volumes can be selected.
The feedback is a beep tone that can be activated separately for autofo-
cus mode to indicate the completed setting and as a signal for a message
or warning.
Note:
In the factory setting the signal tones are deactivated.

Monitor and top panel display

The Leica S has two displays,
– a black-and-white liquid-crystal display, and
– a large 3" liquid-crystal color monitor that is protected by a hard and
therefore very scratch-resistant glass cover.
The top panel display shows i.a. the most important basic information on
the status of the memory card(s) and the battery, and on the exposure
control (see "Displays in the top panel display", p. 61).
The monitor shows the complete image fi eld, along with the selected data
and information (see "Displays in the monitor", p. 62ff ). The brightness of
the monitor is controlled automatically, depending on the ambient bright-
and ness. The sensor above the monitor is used for this function. Further-
more, its basic brightness can be adapted to the respective situation or to
and . your personal wishes.
