Connecting and transferring data using card readers The picture files can also be transferred to other computers using a standard card reader for SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards (including UHS I standard types). Card readers with a USB interface are available for computers with a USB interface.

Note:

The Leica X2 is equipped with an internal sensor which detects the position of the camera – horizontal or vertical (both directions) – for each picture. This information automatically allows the pictures to be displayed upright when sub- sequently displayed on a computer running the appropriate programs.

Working with DNG raw data

If you have selected the standardized and future-proof DNG (Digital Negative) format, you require highly specialized software to convert the saved raw data into optimum quality, for example the professional Adobe® Photoshop® Light- room® raw data converter. It provides optimum quality algorithms for digital color processing, allowing pictures that simultaneously have low picture noise and exceptional resolution.

During editing, you have the option of adjusting parameters such as white bal- ance, noise reduction, gradation, sharpness etc. to achieve an optimum image quality.

Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® is available as a free download when you reg- ister your Leica X2 on the Leica Camera AG homepage. Further details can be found in the registration booklet enclosed in the camera packaging.

Installing Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom®

To start the installation, your computer must have an active Internet connec- tion (i.e. it must be online).

You also need a valid e-mail address to activate the software.

Have the required software license code ready - you will receive it in the reply mail from Leica after you have chosen to download the software.

Should you need any support concerning Adobe® Photoshop® Lightroom® Home: You will find a support contact on the Leica Camera AG homepage in the owners area where you registered your camera and downloaded the soft- ware.
