The camera is equipped with a USB 2.0 high-speed interface for
transferring data. This allows fast data transfer to computers with the
same kind of interface.
Via the USB cable connection and using the camera as an
external drive
With Windows operating systems:
The operating system detects the camera as an external drive and
assigns it a drive letter. Transfer the picture data to your computer
using Windows Explorer and save it.
With Mac operating systems:
The memory card appears as a storage medium on the desktop.
Transfer the picture data to your computer using the Finder and save it.
Important:
• Only use the USB cable supplied.
• While data is being transferred, the USB connection must not be
interrupted as this can cause the computer and/or the camera to
crash and may even cause irreparable damage to the memory
card.
• While data is being transferred, the camera must not be turned off
or should not shut down due to a lack of battery capacity, as this
can cause the computer to crash.
• For the same reason the battery must never be removed from the
camera while the connection is active. If the capacity of the battery
runs low during data transfer, the
INFO screen appears, with the
battery capacity flashing. In this case, cancel the data transfer,
turn off the camera and charge the battery.
USING CARD READERS
Picture data can also be transferred using card readers for SD/
SDHC/SDXC memory cards (including UHS I types) on the computer
itself. External card readers are also available that connect to the
computer using a USB interface.
Note:
The Leica X Vario is equipped with an integral sensor, which detects
the position of the camera – horizontal or vertical (both directions) –
for each picture. This information allows the pictures to be presented
upright automatically when subsequently displayed on a computer
running the appropriate programs.
