Connecting And Transferring Data Using Card Readers - Leica X1 Instructions Manual

Important:
• Only use the USB cable (C) supplied.
• While data is being transferred from the LEICA X1 to the computer, the
connection may not under any circumstances be broken by removing
the USB cable, as otherwise the computer and/or the LEICA X1 may
"crash" and the memory card may even be irreparably damaged.
• The LEICA X1 cannot be switched off or automatically switch itself off
due to a lack of battery power while data is being transferred from the
camera to the computer, as this may cause the computer to crash'. For
the same reason the battery must never be removed from the camera
while the connection is active. If the battery capacity runs short during
data transfer, the INFO screen (2.1.26) appears with the battery capac-
ity indication (2.1.5) flashing. In this case, stop the data transfer, switch
off the LEICA X1 (see p. 88) and charge the battery (see p. 85).

Connecting and transferring data using card readers

The picture files can also be transferred to other computers using a stan-
dard card reader for SD/SDHC memory cards. Card readers with a USB in-
terface are available for computers with a USB interface.
Note:
The LEICA X1 is fitted with an integral sensor which detects the position of
the camera – horizontal or vertical (both directions) – for each picture.
This information automatically allows the pictures to be displayed upright
when subsequently displayed on a computer running the appropriate pro-
grams.
