Information About SD Memory Cards

General notes
Be absolutely certain to read the follow-
ing instructions about formatting and
handling the memory card provided in order to
prevent malfunctions during image acquisition.
File system and formatting
The FAT file system has to be used so that the
SD card works correctly and is detected by
the Leica MC170 HD or Leica MC190 HD. Most
memory cards are factory-formatted with FAT
so that they can be used immediately.
An SD card cannot be formatted in the Leica
MC170 HD or Leica MC190 HD. If it is necessary
to format the card, use a computer to do so. You
can also delete the files on the card in any digi-
tal camera that works with SD cards. During the
deletion, the FAT file system is installed auto-
matically.

Write protection
Some SD memory cards are equipped
with a slide for write protection. If the
slide is pressed down, no new images can
be saved. In addition, existing images are
protected from being deleted.
If you cannot save any more images to the
SD card, check to make certain that the write
protection is disabled.
Application
Orientation
Make sure that the memory card is
oriented correctly before inserting it
into the Leica MC170 HD or Leica MC190 HD. If
you accidentally insert the card the wrong way
around, this could damage the camera.
Capacity
Class 4 and 6 SD cards can be used with the
Leica MC170 HD or Leica MC190 HD. SDHC (high
capacity) cards up to 32 GB are also supported.
