Reviewing single pictures
As already described in the sections “Using automatic
review of single pictures –
B
AUTO REVIEW” and
“Viewing pictures with the VIEW function” (p. 146),
pictures can be viewed in the viewfinder/monitor for
a short time immediately after you have taken them.
By contrast, review mode allows you to view the pic-
tures at any time, with no time limit, e.g. to decide
whether you want to delete a picture or to view other
pictures on the memory card.
Notes:
• The LEICA DIGILUX 2 saves pictures according to
the DCF standard (Design Rule for Camera File
System).
• This camera reproduces picture data exclusively in
JPEG format, although there are JPEG data records
that cannot be viewed.
• It may not be possible to review files that have not
been created by the LEICA DIGILUX 2, or the
quality may be impaired. In this case, the viewfind-
er/monitor remains black and is displayed as the
file number – (see below).
Setting the function/Selecting pictures
1. Set the record/review selector (1.15) to review
8
.
• The last picture taken is shown in the viewfind-
er/monitor (1.19/32) and the displays for review
mode appear (see p. 110).
2. You can select the other saved pictures using the
direction pad (1.30). Pressing left on the direction
pad takes you to the pictures with lower numbers,
right takes you to those with higher numbers.
Holding it down (approx. 2s) results in fast scrol-
ling (the picture only changes when you release the
direction pad).
After the highest and lowest numbers, the series of
pictures begins again in an endless loop, which
means you can reach all pictures in either direc-
tion.
• The picture and file numbers in the
viewfinder/monitor change accordingly.
Rotating the shots -
Q
ROTATE
Many subjects can be portrayed better in portrait for-
mat, such as tall buildings or portraits that are not
restricted to the face. The camera is turned accord-
ingly to take such photographs. But so that this does
not also have to happen when viewing the picture, the
LEICA DIGILUX 2 allows the picture to be rotated in
90° stages and thus ‘align’ the picture.
Note: Even a picture rotated by 90° is shown com-
pletely in the viewfinder/monitor, i.e. without
‘trimming’. As it has to be reduced for this, black
areas appear to the left and right of it.
Setting the functions
1. In the main review menu
E
PLAY
1
/

(see pp.
113/122) select the menu item
Q
ROTATE (3.25).
2. Open the corresponding sub-menu by pressing
right on the direction pad (1.30).
• The sub-menu appears with the two directions of
rotation – 90° to the left/90° to the right
3. Follow the further menu instructions.
