Why does the AF assist lamp not turn on on Leica D-Lux 2?
The AF assist lamp does not turn on in bright places.
What to do if subject is not focused properly on Leica D-Lux 2?
If the subject is not focused properly on your Leica Digital Camera, ensure the mode dial is set correctly for the distance to the subject. If focusing fails, turn the camera off and on again.
How to clean the lens of Leica Digital Camera if the recorded pictures are pale?
If the surface of the lens is dirty, switch the Leica Digital Camera on and gently clean it with a soft cloth.
What to do if Leica Digital Camera will not turn on?
If your Leica Digital Camera won't turn on, first check if the battery is inserted correctly, paying attention to the direction. If it is, ensure the battery is sufficiently charged and try again.
Why does shooting of motion pictures stop unexpectedly on my Leica D-Lux 2 Digital Camera?
If motion picture shooting stops unexpectedly on your Leica Digital Camera, especially when using [30fpsVGA] or [30fps16:9] settings, ensure you're using a card with a speed of 10 MB/second or better. Also, clean up the card with the unit beforehand to defragment the memory.
Why is the relative area different for pictures on TV versus Leica D-Lux 2 Digital Camera's LCD?
This is normal.
Why does the lens click on my Leica D-Lux 2?
The sound is caused by automatic adjustment of the aperture. It is not a malfunction.
How to adjust picture size to fit TV screen with Leica D-Lux 2?
If the picture size does not fit the TV screen when using your Leica Digital Camera, check the [TV ASPECT] setting on the unit.
Why does the brightness of the screen become dark or bright for a moment on Leica D-Lux 2 Digital Camera?
If the brightness of the screen on your Leica Digital Camera becomes dark or bright for a moment, this is normal when pressing the shutter button halfway to set the aperture value and does not affect the recorded pictures.
Why does folder or file name appear as [–] and the display goes black on Leica D-Lux 2?
If folder or file names appear as [–] and the display goes black on your Leica Digital Camera, it may be due to the picture being altered on a computer or taken with a different camera. Reformat the card to resolve this. Remember that formatting will erase all data, so back up important files first. This can also occur if you remove the battery immediately after taking a picture or if the battery had very little charge left.
