Deleting pictures
Pictures on the memory card and the internal memory can be deleted at
any time. This can be useful, e.g. if you have already saved the pictures to
other media, if you no longer need them or if you need to free up more me-
mory space on the card.
The LEICA X1 also offers you the option of deleting single or all pictures at
the same time, as required.
Notes:
• If a memory card is inserted (see p. 86), only the pictures on the card
are accessible for deleting, i.e. if you want to delete a picture saved to
the internal memory, the card must be removed first.
• Protected pictures must be unprotected before they can be deleted.
See p. 119 for details.
• Deleting a picture causes the subsequent pictures in the frame counter
(2.29) to be renumbered according to the following pattern: If you de-
lete picture no. 3, for example, what was previously picture no. 4 then
becomes no. 3, while the picture that was previously no. 5 becomes no.
4 etc.. However, this does not apply to the numbering of the remaining
picture files in the folder (2.2.6), which always remains unchanged.
Important:
Pictures are permanently deleted. You cannot subsequently retrieve them.
To call up the delete function, press the
DELETE
/
FOCUS
button (1.15).
• The delete menu appears.
The subsequent actions depend on whether you want to delete single pic-
tures or all pictures simultaneously.
Deleting single pictures
1. Select Single and press the
MENU
/
SET
button (1.23).
• After deleting, the next picture appears.
If the picture is protected (see p. 119), it continues to be displayed
and THIS IS PROTECTED appears for a short time.
Deleting all pictures
1. Select All and press the
MENU
/
SET
button (1.23).
• A submenu appears.
2. Confirm or reject the process and press the
MENU
/
SET
button again.
• The message NO VALID IMAGE TO PLAY or the originally shown pic-
ture appears again, if it has not been deleted after all.
However, if the pictures included some with protection (see also next
section), PROTECTED WERE NOT DELETED appears for a short time
instead, and finally the first of these pictures reappear.
Note:
If you reconsider and do not want the delete one or all pictures, you can
exit the delete menu by pressing the
DELETE
/
FOCUS
button again.
