The Leica X2 is turned on and off using the main switch (1.7). This is done by turning it from OFF to the desired mode, i.e. to S (single shot), or C (continu- ous shooting).

• The image (2.1) appears on the screen.

1.7

Note:

If you forget to remove the lens cap before switching the camera on, a respec- tive message will appear. The same applies if the camera is activated from stand-by mode (see p. 113) with the cap on.

When the main switch is set to C, the Leica X2 produces continuous picture sequences. Frequencies of either 3fps (Low) or 5fps (High) are available.

In the menu, select Continuous (3.5), and in the submenu the desired setting.

Notes:

•Exposure series are not possible when using the flash. If a flash function is activated, only one picture is taken.

•When C mode and the self timer (see p. 138) are being used in conjunction, only a single exposure will be created.

•The maximum frequency of 5fps is only achieved with shutter speeds of

1/60s or faster (1/4s with 3fps).

•Regardless of how many pictures are taken in a series, the PLAY (see p. 106) and Auto Review (see p. 106) functions always show the last picture first. The other pictures in the series can be selected by pressing the right and/or left direction buttons (1.24/1.27).
