Transferring data to a computer

The Leica X2 is compatible with the following operating systems: Microsoft®: Windows® XP / Vista® / 7®

Apple® Macintosh®: Mac® OS X (10.4) and higher

The Leica X2 is equipped with a USB 2.0 High Speed interface for transferring data to a computer. This allows fast data transfer to computers with the same kind of interface. The computer used must have either a USB port (for direct connection to the Leica X2) or a card reader for SD/SDHC/SDXC cards (including UHS I standard types).

Connecting and transferring data with the camera as an external drive

With Windows operating systems:

If the Leica X2 is connected to the computer using a USB cable, the operating system detects it as an external drive and assigns it a drive letter. Use Win- dows Explorer to transfer the picture data to your computer and save it.

With Mac operating systems:

If the Leica X2 is connected to the computer using a USB cable, the memory card used appears as a storage medium on the desktop. Use the Finder to transfer the picture data to your computer and save it.

Important:

Only use the USB cable (D) supplied.

While data is being transferred from the Leica X2 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 X2 may “crash” and the memory card may even be irreparably damaged.

The Leica X2 cannot be switched off or 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 rea- son the battery must never be removed from the camera while the connec- tion is active. If the battery capacity runs short during data transfer, the INFO screen (2.1.26) appears with the battery capacity indication (2.1.5) flashing.

In this case, stop the data transfer, switch off the Leica X2 (see p. 104) and charge the battery (see p. 100).
