Direct Color Temperature Setting; Fine-Tuning White Balance Settings; Iso Sensitivity - Leica X1 Instructions Manual

Direct color temperature setting

WB
Press the button (1.14), and in the menu appearing on the monitor, se-
lect SET K.
Use the setting dial (1.20) or the up and down direction buttons (1.21/1.24)
to change the figure in the box appearing in the center of the monitor
image.
The setting is saved and can be recalled at any time with the option K.

Fine-tuning white balance settings

After finishing any of the above settings, access the WB Adjust monitor
screen from the white balance menu by pressing the right direction button
(1.22) as indicated by the red triangle.
With the direction buttons, move the circular cursor to the position that
delivers the desired color reproduction on the monitor, i.e. in the direction
of the respective colored squares at the edges.
The settings are saved together with the respective basic setting.

ISO sensitivity

The ISO setting determines the possible shutter speed/aperture combina-
tions for a given illumination level. Higher sensitivities allow faster shutter
speeds and/or smaller apertures (for "freezing" fast action or creating a
larger depth of field, respectively) at the expense of increasing image
noise.
ISO
Press the button (1.13), and in the menu appearing on the monitor, se-
lect either AUTO ISO for automatic setting or one of the six fixed settings.
Within the AUTO ISO option it is possible to limit the range of sensitivities
used – e.g. to control the image noise level, and also to determine the
longest shutter speed used – e.g. to prevent blurred images of moving
subjects.
In the menu, select Auto ISO Settings (3.3), in the first submenu either
Slowest Speed or Max ISO, and the respective second level submenus the
desired settings.
