in these Instructions.
German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese or Chinese
can also be selected as alternative menu languages.

MONITOR
The brightness of the viewfinder and monitor images
on the LEICA DIGILUX 2 can be set so that you can
adjust it optimally for any situation, i.e. the prevailing
light conditions. The setting only concerns the LCD
currently in use, i.e. it is separate for the viewfinder
and the monitor.
Note: The brightness setting affects the battery life:
the brighter, the higher the power consumption and,
therefore, the shorter the battery life.
Setting the function

finder or monitor LCD, depending on where you
want to change the brightness. It makes no
