Leica 18450, 18452 manual 140, Working color space, Creating new folder numbers

Working color space

The requirements in terms of color reproduction differ considerably for the vari- ous possible uses of digital picture files. Different color spaces have therefore been developed, such as the standard RGB (red/green/blue) that is perfectly adequate for simple printing. For more demanding image processing using ap- propriate programs, e.g. for color correction, Adobe© RGB has become estab- lished as the standard in the relevant sectors.

In the menu, select Color space (3.26), and in the submenu the desired set- ting.

Notes:

•If you have your prints produced by major photographic laboratories, mini labs or Internet picture services, you should always select the sRGB setting.

•The Adobe RGB setting is only recommended for professional image pro- cessing in completely color-calibrated working environments.

Copying image data from the internal memory to a memory card

Thanks to its 110 MB internal memory, the Leica X2 can store several images without a card in the camera. If you wish to save these images permanently though, you should copy the image data to a memory card.

In the menu, select Copy (3.35), and in the submenu, confirm or reject the copying process.

Creating new folder numbers

The Leica X2 saves the picture numbers to the memory card in ascending order. Initially, the corresponding files are all stored in one folder. However, you can create a new folder at any time, which you can use to store subse- quent pictures, e.g. to group them together more clearly.

In the menu, select Reset Image Numbering (3.22), and in the submenu, confirm or reject the resetting process.

Notes:

•The file names (e.g. L1002345.jpg), comprise two groups 100 and 2345. The first 3 digits are the number of relevant folder, the second 4 digits are the consecutive picture number within the folder. This ensures that there are no duplicated file names after the function is used and the data is transferred to a computer.

•If you wish to reset the folder number to 100, you can do so by formatting the card or the internal memory and, immediately afterwards, reset the image number. This also resets the picture number (to 0001).
