Shooting And Deleting Images; Shooting Images With Flash - Minox Leica M3 2.1 Manual

Important information on use
The camera automatically switches back to camera
mode (with LCD displaying 2 digits) if there is no signal
within ten seconds and the camera is not connected to
the PC.

Shooting and deleting images

Prior to shooting pictures with the DCC always check
that the battery has sufficient power. Always observe
the following instructions when shooting images:
1. Switch on your DCC by pressing the On/Mode
button once. The LCD display of your camera
shows the image counter. The image counter counts
down and indicates the number of shots left.
2. Compose your picture subject in the viewfinder.
3. Hold the camera steady and press the shutter
release to shoot the image.
4. An acoustic signal confirms the image has been
taken correctly.
5. When you let go off the release button you will see
that the image counter now indicates one (or more)
shot less which shows that the picture has been taken.
Note
After an image is captured, the image counter will show a
decrement. The number of decrement depends on the size
of the image captured. It will decrease by at least 1. For
Super / Fine High Resolution mode, the image counter will
decrease from 40. For Fine Low Resolution mode, the ima-
ge counter will decrease from 60. For Super Low Resolu-
tion mode, the image counter will decrease from 99.

Shooting images with flash

shoot images in unfavorable light conditions (e.g. twilight
or in dark-lit areas), you will require the MINOX Classic
Camera flash which is optionally available from Minox
dealers. Order number 69125
How to connect the flash to the camera
