Image stabilization

Especially in low light situations, the necessary shutter speed may be too
slow to ensure sharp pictures, even with the activated AUTO ISO function
(see p. 95). The LEICA X1 offers a function that will often produce sharp
pictures even with such slow shutter speeds.
In the menu, select Image Stabilization (3.8), and in the submenu the de-
sired setting.
Notes:
• The camera takes two pictures automatically in series with this function,
one with a faster and one with a slower shutter speed (you will hear the
shutter operate twice during the operation). Then, it takes the data of
the two exposures and combines them into one with digital image pro-
cessing.
• Therefore, please hold the camera steady until the shutter has released
the second time.
• Due to the function using two exposures, it can only be applied with
static subjects.
• Image stabilization is only possible with shutter speeds within the range
1 1
of / s to / s and sensitivities up to ISO 1600.
