REVIEW OF PORTRAIT-FORMAT PICTURES
Normally, the pictures on the monitor are shown how they were taken, i.e. if
the camera was held horizontally, the picture will be shown that way too. In the
case of portrait format pictures though, i.e. if the camera was held vertically
for the shot, this may be inconvenient since, with the camera held horizontally
afterwards as usual, the monitor image will not show an upright picture.
The Leica X2 offers a remedy for this.
In the menu, select
Auto Rotate Display
(3.32), and in the submenu the de-
sired setting.
When
On
is selected, portrait format pictures are automatically displayed
upright.
Notes:
• Portrait format pictures shown perpendicularly on the monitor are
necessarily considerably smaller.
• This function is not available for automatic review (see p. 106).
PLAYBACK WITH HDMI EQUIPMENT
The Leica X2 allows you to view your pictures on a TV, monitor, or projector
equipped with HDMI input, thus ensuring the best possible rendition. In addi-
tion, you can choose between three resolution levels:
1080i
,
720p
, and
480p
.
Setting
In the menu, select
HDMI
(3.33), and in the submenu the desired setting.
Connecting / Playing back pictures
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the camera’s and the TV’s, monitor’s or projec-
tor’s HDMI sockets.
2. Turn on the TV, monitor, or projector and select HDMI input.
3. Turn on the camera and press the
PLAY
button (1.16) to set to play mode.
Notes:
• A HDMI cord is necessary for this connection to a TV, monitor, or projector.
Use only the cord available as accessory from Leica for this camera (see p.
153)
• If the TV’s, monitor’s, or projector’s maximum resolution is lower than the
selected level on the camera, it automatically switches to the attached unit’s
maximum resolution. E.g., if you set
1080i
on the camera and the connected
unit has maximum of
480p
, the camera automatically uses
480p
.
• Please refer to the instructions of the relevant TV, monitor, or projector for
details on their required settings.
• The image shown on an external display does not include any of the informa-
tion on the camera monitor / viewnder.
