PHOTO FILE FORMAT

Two file formats, DNG and JPEG, are available for recording the picture
data for photos. You can choose whether your picture data are to be
saved
a. in just one of these formats, or
b. simultaneously in both formats (i.e. two files are always created per
picture).
Setting the function
1. In the menu, under , select the item
IMAGE
2. select the desired format(s) or combination in the sub-menu
Notes:
• The standardized DNG (Digital Negative) format is used for storage of
raw picture data.
• The remaining number of pictures shown in the monitor may not
necessarily change after every picture. This depends on the subject;
with JPEG files very fine structures result in higher quantities of data,
homogeneous surfaces in lower quantities. As a result the remaining
memory capacity may be larger than previously calculated and dis-
played.

WHITE BALANCE

In digital photography, white balance ensures neutral rendition of color in
any light. It is based on the camera being preset to reproduce a particular
light color as white. In the Leica S you can select between twelve differ-
ent settings:
(Auto) – for automatic control, which delivers neutral results in
–
most situations,
Eight fixed presets for the most frequent light sources:
e.g. for outdoor pictures in sunshine,
–
e.g. for outdoor pictures with cloudy skies,
–
e.g. for outdoor pictures with the main subject in shadow,
–
e.g. for indoor pictures with (predominantly) incandescent lamp light
