122 / Detailed guide/ The most important settings/controls
The menu system
Many of the LEICA DIGILUX 2 modes and functions
are operated using a menu system (see also pp.
112/113), which is shown clearly and step by step in
the viewfinder/monitor (1.19/32). You can select the
appropriate menu items to set the different functions
and the various record and review modes.
You can also use this menu system to set all other
functions, such as the date and time or the volume of
the acknowledgement (response) tones and shutter
sound.
Most of the settings in the menu system are essential-
ly made in the same way, regardless of whether they
relate to functions in the main or setup menus.
Notes:
• Essentially:
– You can used the direction pad (1.30) to navigate
in any direction.
– The central adjustment dial (1.29) allows quicker
and easier navigation in vertical and – in some
sub-menus – in horizontal direction.
– Depending on whether the next adjustment step
can be made only with the direction pad or optio-
nally with one of the two operating elements, the
following appears in the bottom line of the view-
finder/monitor image: just SET
90
or both
SELECT

and SET

.
• Some functions in the record modes that are not
listed in the menus are also set via a menu system.
This is the case for the function groups called up
via the button to select the flash mode (1.14, see
p. 140), to set exposure and flash exposure
compensations as well as automatic exposure
bracketing (1.23, see pp. 138/144/139), as well as
the quick selection button (1.24, see p. 153).
Here, simply pressing opens the corresponding
menu. These functions are essentially set as
described below.
1. Press the
MENU
button (1.25) to open the menu
system.
• In the record modes, the record menu then
appears, in the review mode the review menu
(see p. 112/113).
• When they are opened, the menus are always in
their initial positions – marked in yellow:
j
REC
1
/
4
in record mode and
E
PLAY
1
/
2
in review
mode. As a maximum of four menu items can be
listed at any one time (five in the review menu),
to assist in orientation a group of figures to the
right of the title show the page currently dis-
played (left-hand figure) and how many there are
in total (right-hand figure).
Note: While a picture is being reviewed with the VIEW
function (see p. 146), the menu system cannot be
opened.
