Changing the picture numbering
The LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R assigns pictures sequen-
tial picture numbers, in the default factory setting
regardless of whether the memory card is changed
(
Continous
). However, you can use menu control at
any time to specify that the numbering should begin
again each time the memory card is changed, e.g. to
assign the picture numbers to different events, sub-
jects etc.
Setting the function
In the menu (see p. 70/86), select Picture
Numbering
(3.8) and then choose the desired function
in the corresponding submenu.
• Depending on the selected function, the file number-
ing starts again from 1 either after the next change
of memory card –
set back by changing SD-card
–
or from the next picture –
set back now
.
Note:
The change of numbering relates exclusively to
the file names, e.g.
100_L100 0001
, which are only
shown in the
INFO
display (see p. 84).
Taking photographs with the self timer
You can use the self timer to take a picture with a delay
of either 2 or 12s. This can be particularly useful, for
example in the first case if you want to avoid the pic-
ture being out of focus due to camera shake when
releasing the shutter or, in the second case, for group
photographs where you want to appear in the picture
yourself. In such cases, it is recommended that the
camera be placed on a tripod.
Setting and using the function
Turn the setting dial (1.22) to , keep the
SET
but-
ton (1.23) pressed, and use the setting ring (1.13) to
select the desired option (see p. 85).
• A corresponding display (2.2.8) appears in the data
panel.
To start the delay time, tap one of the shutter release
buttons (camera shutter release button/1.27/28).
• The flashing LED on the front of the camera indicates
that the delay time is running, and it simultaneously
counts down in the data panel.
Notes:
• To guard against accidental pressing, immediate
shutter release is not possible when a delay time is
set or running.
• While the self timer delay time is running, it can be
aborted at any time by pressing the
SET
button –
the relevant setting is retained and the function can
be restarted by tapping one of the shutter release
buttons again.
Important:
• In self timer mode, the exposure is not set by
depressing a shutter release button to the pressure
point, it is set immediately before the picture is
taken.
• With the LEICA R9, it is necessary to use the self
timer function if long exposures are to be taken
using the camera’s B function.
