Setting the key acknowledgement (response)
tones and shutter sounds -
C
BEEP
With the LEICA DIGILUX 2, you can decide whether
you want your settings and other functions to be
acknowledged by an acoustic signal – two volumes
are available, or whether operation of the camera and
actually taking photographs should be predominantly
free of noise.
The following acknowledgements are available:
a. Various beep tones for shutter release button
pressed halfway (focus and exposure metered and
locked), settings with the direction pad, and the
VIEW function (see p. 146), and
b. Shutter sound after a picture has been taken.
Notes:
• The factory setting is with all sound turned off.
• While the key acknowledgement tones can also be
set in the review mode setup menu, the shutter
sound can only be set in the setup menu of the
record modes.
• Turning on key acknowledgement tones automati-
cally activates shutter sound.

Setting the resolution -

PICT.SIZE
Picture data recording is possible with six different
numbers of pixels, i.e. resolutions. This allows you to
adjust the pictures precisely to the intended use or to
the available memory card capacity.
At the highest resolution (which also means the
largest data volume), which you should select for
optimum quality for larger prints, it is of course
possible to save considerably fewer pictures to a card
than at the lowest resolution, which is perfectly
adequate for sending a picture by e-mail or for a web-
site.
Notes:
• Together with raw data saving (RAW, see next
section), the resolution is automatically switched to
independently of the current setting.
• For video recordings
ü
(see p. 149) the resolution
is set to 320 x 240 pixels.
