Viewing More Pictures; Scrolling" In The Memory; Enlarging/Selecting The Framing/Simultaneously Viewing Several Reduced Pictures - Leica M9 Instructions Manual

Additional options when viewing
A. Viewing more pictures/

"Scrolling" in the memory

You can open other saved pictures using the left and
right direction buttons (1.30). Pressing the left button
takes you to the pictures with lower numbers, press-
ing the right button takes you to those with higher
numbers. Holding the button down (approx. 2 s) re -
sults in fast scrolling. After the highest and lowest
numbers, the series of pictures begins again in an
endless loop, which means you can reach all pictures
in either direction.
• The picture and file numbers in the monitor change
accordingly.
B. Enlarging/selecting the section/simultaneous
viewing of several reduced pictures
With the LEICA M9 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 setting dial (1.29) to the right (clockwise)
enlarges the central section. The more you turn the
dial, 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 pic-
ture.
The four direction buttons (1.30) can be used to select
any position in 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 (3.2.5/3.3.7j) in the lower right-hand
corner of the monitor indicates the position of the
section displayed.
