USER PROFILES
On the Leica X Vario, any combination of menu settings can be
permanently stored, e.g. so that they can be retrieved quickly and
easily at any time for recurring situations / subjects. A total of four
memory slots are available for these combinations. Of course, you
can also reset all menu options to the factory default settings.

PICTURE STABILIZATION
Particularly in poor lighting conditions, even with the AUTO ISO
function activated the selected shutter speed may be too slow to
produce sharp pictures. The Leica X Vario provides a function that
normally results in sharp pictures even with very slow shutter speeds:
Select
Image Stabilization
in the menu, and the desired setting in the
submenu
Notes:
• With this function, the camera automatically takes two pictures in
succession (the shutter noise can be heard twice). It then com–
bines the pictures into one by digital processing.
• Hold the camera steady until after the shutter is released the
second time.
• As the function uses two exposures, it can only be used for static
subjects.
• Image stabilization is only possible with shutter speeds in the range
from 1/4s to 1/30s and sensitivities up to ISO 1600.
