Introduction The LEICA DIGILUX 2 represents an important juncture
in digital photography. To date, most digital camera
manufacturers have attempted to make photography
easier by removing traditional photographic controls,
and replacing them with simplified fully automatic
“point and shoot” controls. While an argument may be
made that this was a step in the right direction, some-
thing important was lost in the process.
The ability to manually alter the basic photographic
parameters increases the chances of creating a techni-
cally imperfect image, but also gives the photographer
full creative control. The Digilux 2 gives the photogra-
pher the ability to explore the powerful mix of tradi-
tional photographic techniques and digital imaging.
This guide has been created to help photographers
explore the wide range of creative controls available
using the Digilux 2. While the camera manual clearly
describes the camera functions, we have structured
this guide based on the various photographic situations
you may encounter, and the camera controls that will
help you accomplish the desired effect. In addition, we
will introduce you to some tried and true methods for
working with your digital files on the Apple
®
Macintosh™
computer platform using popular output devices and
software applications.
While this guide will not replace years of experience
in digital imaging, it will help you get the most out of
your Digilux 2 purchase.
We hope you enjoy using this guide,
