Automatic Stand-By Mode; Key Acknowledgement (Response) And Shutter Sounds; Monitor Brightness; Switching The Displays - Leica X1 Instructions Manual

Note:
Even if no battery is used or if it is flat, the date and time setting is stored
by a built-in buffer battery for around 3 days. However, after this period,
the data and time have to be reset as described above.

Automatic stand-by mode

If active, this function switches the camera to stand-by mode after the se-
lected time to save power.
In the menu, select Auto Power Off (3.20), and in the submenu the desired
setting.
Note:
Even if the camera is in stand-by mode, it can be turned on again at any
time by pressing the shutter release button (1.8) or by turning it off and
back on with the main switch (1.7).

Key acknowledgement (response) and shutter sounds

With the LEICA X 1, you can decide whether you want your settings and
other functions to be acknowledged by an acoustic signal – two volumes
are available, or whether operation of the camera and actually taking pho-
tographs should be predominantly free of noise.
For shutter sounds
In the menu, select Shutter Volume (3.25), and in the submenu the de-
sired setting, Off, Low, or High.
For key acknowledgement and memory card capacity limit sounds
In the Menu, select Acoustic Signal (3.26), in the first submenu Volume,
and in the second level submenu the desired setting, Off, Low, or High.
The sounds acknowledging key presses and a memory card capacity limit
can be switched on or off separately in the respective submenus Keyclick
and SD card full.

Monitor brightness

To ensure perfect visibility and to adapt to different ambient lighting situa-
tions, the monitor brightness can be set to five levels.
In the menu, select Monitor Brightness (3.15), and in the submenu the de-
sired setting.

Switching the displays

You can select whether the monitor screen appears with or without func-
tion displays in recording mode, whether it appears only with gridlines, or
the monitor should remain inactive (black) altogether.
In review mode, you can select between a monitor screen without or with
function displays or with expanded function displays.
Select the desired option with the
different options (in an endless loop) by pressing once or several times.
