Enlarging The Picture/Simultaneous Review Of 16 Pictures; Selecting The Trimming - Leica X1 Instructions Manual

Enlarging the picture/Simultaneous review of 16 pictures

The LEICA X1 allows you to enlarge a section of the picture by up to 16 x,
e.g. in order to study it more closely. Conversely, it is also possible to si-
multaneously view 16 pictures, e.g. to gain an overview or to find the pic-
ture you want more quickly.
Turn the setting dial (1.20) clockwise to enlarge the picture, counterclock-
wise beyond the normal size for the 16 picture display.
• With enlarged pictures, displays appear, indicating the approximate size
of the section (2.2.21) and that the setting wheel is still available for se-
lecting other pictures (2.2.20).
With the 16 picture display, the one previously viewed at normal size is
indicated by a red frame.
Notes:
• The more the picture is enlarged, the more the quality of reproduction
in the monitor is reduced, due to the proportionally lower resolution.
• It may not be possible to enlarge pictures created on other types of
camera.
• If an enlarged section is being shown, using the setting wheel to view
other pictures results in these also being shown as enlarged sections.
• A histogram (see p. 102) is not available with enlarged viewing.
With the 16 picture display, selecting other pictures is the same as with
normal size viewing, except that keeping the buttons pressed results in
very fast scrolling.
• The selected picture is identified by a red frame.
You can return any indicated picture to normal size by turning the setting
dial clockwise, or by pressing the

Selecting the trimming

When a picture is enlarged, you can move the enlarged section out of the
central position, e.g. to control the rendition of off-center subject detail.

down, to the left or the right (1.21/1.24/1.25/1.22).
• The display 2.2.21 indicates the approximate position of the section with-
in the picture.
