Playback with HDMI equipment
The LEICA X1 allows you to view your pictures with a TV, projector, or mon-
itor equipped with HDMI input, thus ensuring the best possible rendition.
In addition, you can choose between three resolution levels: 1080i, 720p,
and 480p. The camera automatically selects the maximum possible resolu-
tion (for the connected equipment) up to the set level.
