For Memory Cards; Storage; Data Structure On The Memory Card - Leica DIGILUX 2 Instructions Manual

For memory cards

• While a picture is being stored or the memory card
is being read, it should not be removed, the camera
turned off or exposed to vibrations.
• To protect them, memory cards should always be
stored in the yellow antistatic container supplied.
• Do not store the memory card where it will be
exposed to high temperatures, direct sunlight,
magnetic fields or static discharge.
• Do not drop the memory card or bend it, as this
could damage the card and result in loss of the
saved data.
• Always remove the memory card, if you will not be
using the camera for a long period of time.
• Do not touch the contacts on the back of the
memory card and keep them free of dirt, dust and
moisture.
• We recommend formatting the memory card from
time to time, as certain residual quantities of data
(subsidiary information, particularly for sound
recordings) can take up some of the memory
capacity.

Storage

• Always remove the battery and memory card when
storing the camera.
• You should preferably store the camera in a closed
and padded container so that nothing can damage
it and it is protected from dust.
• Store the camera somewhere where it will be pro-
tected from high temperatures and humidity. When
used in humid conditions, the camera should be
completely free of all moisture before being stored
away.
• To prevent the formation of fungus, do not store
the camera in the leather case for long periods of
time.

ter, the following folder structure is used:
