Notes:
• If the camera is connected to a computer, pictures
and sound are not output via the A/V OUT/
REMOTE socket (1.35).
• For further details, please refer to the additional
computer connection information enclosed.
• The camera is equipped with a USB high-speed
interface (USB 2.0). This allows extremely quick
data transfer to computers with an interface of the
same kind. For computers fitted only with a USB
1.1 interface, transfer is correspondingly slower.
• If you connect the LEICA DIGILUX 2 to a computer
with a USB 1.1 interface, the operating system may
generate a corresponding message that refers to
this.
• If your computer is fitted with a USB 2.0 interface
and you work with Windows® 2000, Service Pack 4
must be installed so that your computer’s USB
interface works properly; if you work with
Windows® XP, you need Service Pack 1.
•These Service Packs for the Microsoft®operating
systems are available from Microsoft®. They each
offer the most up-to-date corrections and supple-
ments, such as improved drivers or improvements
ensuring higher data security.
• If you use a USB 2.0 connection, the following must
be borne in mind:
– If connecting one or more devices to a computer,
or if using a hub or an extension lead, malfunc-
tions may result.
– If the camera is connected to the USB socket of a
keyboard, malfunctions may result.
Important:
• Use only the USB lead supplied (F)
• For as long as data is being transferred from the
camera to the computer, the connection must not
be interrupted by removing the USB lead, as the
computer and/or camera can ‘crash’; the memory
card may even be irreparably damaged.
In this case, the camera function can be retrieved
by briefly removing the battery or interrupting the
mains supply.
• For as long as data is being transferred from the
camera to the computer, the camera must not be
turned off or allowed to switch itself off automa-
tically due to a lack of battery power, as this can
cause the computer to ‘crash’. If it is not being
operated on the mains when the connection is
activated, the battery must not be removed for the
same reason. If the battery capacity should run out
during data transfer, the relevant symbol (2.2.10,
see p. 118) flashes: end data transfer, switch the
camera off (see p. 120) and charge the battery
(see p. 116).
• We therefore recommend that you always run the
camera from the mains to transfer data (see
p. 118).
