TIME
The time can either be shown in 24-hour or 12-hour
format.
Setting
The settings for the two groups of figures and the
display format are made in by selecting
Time (5.1.19) in
the menu and then using the Setting and Time Format
options, as described for Date in the previous section.
AUTOMATIC POWER OFF
This function turns off the Leica M Monochrom
automatically after a pre-set time. This is equivalent to
setting the main switch
to
OFF
(1.18, see p. 106).
You can select,
a. whether to activate this function, and if so
b. after what period of time the camera should be
turned off.
In this way, you can tailor this function to your own
personal working methods and also significantly extend
the life of your battery charge.
Setting the function
1. In the main menu (see p. 97/110), select Auto
power off
(4.1.15), and
2. the desired function.
Note:
Even if the camera is in standby mode, i.e. the
displays have gone out after 12s, or the active
Auto power off function has turned it off, it can be
restarted at any time by pressing the shutter release
button (1.19).
BUTTON ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND
SIGNAL TONES
On the Leica M Monochrom, you can decide whether
you want your settings and other functions and warning
messages to be acknowledged by an acoustic signal –
two volumes are available - or whether operation of the
camera should be largely silent.
A click or a beep tone is used as an acknowledgement,
which can be activated individually to confirm presses
of buttons and to indicate a full memory card.
Note:
By factory default, the signal tones are deactivated.
Setting the functions
1. In the main menu (see p. 97/110), select
Acoustic
Signal
(4.1.22), and
2. call up the sub-menu. This contains the three items
Volume, Key Click and SD Card full.
3. Select
Volume, and
• A further sub-menu appears, containing the
3 alternatives - Off (no tones at all),
Low and High.
4. Choose the desired function from this sub-menu.
• After confirmation, the initial monitor screen
appears again.
5. In the other two sub-menus, choose whether or
not you want to activate the tones for the relevant
functions.
