CONNECTING AND TRANSFERRING DATA WITH THE CAMERA AS
AN EXTERNAL DRIVE (BULK STORAGE)
In Windows
®
operating systems:
If the Leica S is connected to the computer using the LEMO
®
USB cable
(supplied), it is detected as an external drive by the operating system and is
assigned a drive letter. Use Windows
®
Explorer to transfer/save the image
data to your computer.
In Mac
®
operating systems:
If the Leica S is connected to the computer using the LEMO
®
USB cable (sup-
plied), the memory card used appears as a storage medium on the desktop.
Use the Finder to transfer/save the image data to your computer.
Note:
As long as this function is active, all other camera functions are blocked.
Important:
• Only use the LEMO
®
USB cable (D) supplied.
• While data is being transferred from the Leica S to the computer, the con-
nection may not under any circumstances be broken by removing the USB
cable, as otherwise the computer and/or the Leica S may crash, and the
memory card may even be irreparably damaged.
• The Leica S should not be turned o or be allowed to 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 is about to run out
during data transfer, stop the data transfer, turn off the Leica S (see p. 25)
and charge the battery (see p. 18). p. 18).
CONNECTING AND TRANSFERRING DATA USING
CARD READERS
The image files can also be transferred to a computer using a standard card
reader for CF or SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards. These devices, and fur-
ther information about them, is available from a computer accessory dealer.
DATA STRUCTURE ON THE MEMORY CARD
Up to 9999 pictures can be stored in the
100LEICA-, 101LEICA- etc. fold-
ers.
