Enlarging/Selecting The Section/Simultaneous Viewing Of Several Reduced Pictures - Leica M8 Instructions Manual

B. Enlarging/selecting the section/simultaneous
viewing of several reduced pictures
With the LEICA M8 it is possible to open an enlarged
section of an individual picture in the monitor to study
it more closely, with a free choice of section. Con-
versely, you can also view up to 9 pictures simultane-
ously in the monitor, e.g. to gain an overview or to find
the picture you are looking for more quickly.
Notes:
• The more the picture is enlarged, the more the
reproduction quality in the monitor deteriorates –
due to the proportionately lower resolution.
• While an enlarged picture is displayed, the direction
buttons are no longer available to open other pic-
tures, instead they are used to "navigate" within the
picture. (Exception: see next note).
Turning the central setting ring (1.30) to the right
(clockwise) enlarges the central section. The more
you turn the ring, the greater the enlargement and the
smaller the section area. Enlargement is possible up
to 1:1, i.e. until 1 pixel of the monitor displays 1 pixel
of the picture.
• The rectangle within the frame (4.1.3/4.2.6k) in the
lower right-hand corner of the monitor symbolizes
the current enlargement.

The four direction buttons (1.31) can be used to select
any position for the section to be enlarged. To do this,
press the button (several times) for the direction in
which you want to shift the section.
• In addition to the enlargement, the rectangle within
the frame (4.1.3/4.2.6k) in the lower right-hand cor-
ner of the monitor symbolizes the position of the
section displayed.
Note:
You can also switch from an enlarged picture directly
to another picture, which will then be shown at the
same enlargement. To do this press the left or right
direction button again – keeping the
pressed (1.27)
By turning the setting ring to the left (anticlockwise,
starting from normal size), you can simultaneously
view 4 – or by turning the ring further, 9 – pictures in
the monitor.
• Up to 9 reduced images are shown in the monitor
(1.33) including the picture previously being viewed
at normal size, which is marked with a red border.
You can use the four direction buttons to navigate
freely among the reduced images, and the relevant
image is marked accordingly. You can then view this
image at normal size by turning the setting ring to the
right.
Note:
When showing 9 pictures, turning the setting dial fur-
ther to the right places the red frame around the
entire group of pictures, which then allows you to
"scroll" more quickly, a block at a time.
