ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
HORIZON
Thanks to its integrated sensors, the Leica S can display its alignment both
in the viewfinder and on the monitor. While the corresponding display always
appears in the viewfinder (2.1, see p. 10), the monitor display is called up as
required.
This monitor display enables you to align the camera precisely in the lon-
gitudinal and transverse axis to capture critical subjects, e.g. architecture
pictures from a tripod.
Setting the function
1. In the
SETUP menu (see p. 17/26), select Horizon (5.30), and
2. then the desired function in the submenu.
• A vertical scale and a horizontal bar appear in the monitor. Variations
from the relevant zero positions are indicated graphically
– by red markings – and the horizontal alignment in the longitudinal and
transverse axis by a central green marking. The corresponding figures
are also indicated.
Notes:
• The display accuracy is ≤1°.
• The monitor screen remains visible until it is deactivated by pressing the
shutter release button or by pressing button (1.21), in this case labeled
BACK.
USER / APPLICATION SPECIFIC PROFILES
On the Leica S, 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, as well as a factory default setting that can be retrieved
at any time and cannot be changed. You can change the names of the saved
profiles.
Profiles set on the camera can be transferred onto one of the memory cards,
for example for use in other camera units, while profiles stored on a card can
be transferred onto the camera.
Saving settings / Creating a profile
1. Set the desired functions in the menu.
2. In the
SETUP menu (see p. 17/26), select User Profile (5.35),
3. select
SAVE as Profile in the submenu, and
4. then the associated sub-menu the desired memory slot.
Selecting a profile
1. In the
SETUP menu (see p. 17/26), select User Profile (5.35).
• If any user proles are saved, the prole names appear in gray, with
unused memory slots in green.
2. Select the desired profile in the submenu, either one of the saved profiles
or
Default Profile.
Note:
If you change one of the settings for the profile currently in use --- appears
instead of the name of the profile you were previously using in the initial menu
list.
