File Format; Jpeg Resolution - Leica M Operating Instructions Manual

FILE FORMAT

The picture data is recorded either
a. in ,
JPG fine
a. or
DNG
b. in a combination of the two file formats
files are always created for each picture.
On the one hand this allows you to take account of the intended
usage and the available memory card capacity, and on the other
hand provides the security and flexibility essential for deciding on
the usage later.
Setting the function
1. In the picture parameters menu (see p. 128/197) select
, and
File Format
2. select the desired file format(s) in the sub-menu
Notes:
• The standardized DNG (Digital Negative) format is used for
storage of completely unprocessed raw picture data.
• If simultaneous storage of picture data as
selected, the existing resolution setting is used for the JPEG
format, i.e. the resolutions of the two files can be quite different.
• The remaining number of pictures shown in the monitor does 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.

JPEG RESOLUTION

The picture data can be recorded in JPEG format at four different
resolutions. This allows you to adjust the setting precisely to the
intended use or to the available memory card capacity. At the
, i.e. two highest resolution (which also means the largest data volume),
DNG+JPG fine
which you should select for optimum quality for large prints, a card
can hold significantly fewer pictures than at the lowest resolution.
Setting the function
1. In the picture parameters menu (see p. 128/197), select
2. select the desired resolution in the sub-menu.
Note:
In DNG format, the resolution is always 24MP, i.e. regardless of any
different setting made for JPEG format.
