The Leica X2 is equipped with a USB 2.0 High Speed interface for transferring
data to a computer. This allows fast data transfer to computers with the same
kind of interface. The computer used must have either a USB port (for direct
connection to the Leica X2) or a card reader for SD/SDHC/SDXC cards
(including UHS I standard types).
CONNECTING AND TRANSFERRING DATA WITH THE CAMERA AS
AN EXTERNAL DRIVE
With Windows operating systems:
If the Leica X2 is connected to the computer using a USB cable, the operating
system detects it as an external drive and assigns it a drive letter. Use Win-
dows Explorer to transfer the picture data to your computer and save it.
With Mac operating systems:
If the Leica X2 is connected to the computer using a USB cable, the memory
card used appears as a storage medium on the desktop. Use the Finder to
transfer the picture data to your computer and save it.
Important:
• Only use the USB cable (D) supplied.
• While data is being transferred from the Leica X2 to the computer, the con-
nection may not under any circumstances be broken by removing the USB
cable, as otherwise the computer and/or the Leica X2 may “crash” and the
memory card may even be irreparably damaged.
• The Leica X2 cannot be switched o or automatically switch itself o due to
a lack of battery power while data is being transferred from the camera to
the computer, as this may cause the computer to crash‘. For the same rea-
son the battery must never be removed from the camera while the connec-
tion is active. If the battery capacity runs short during data transfer, the
INFO
screen (2.1.26) appears with the battery capacity indication (2.1.5) ashing.
In this case, stop the data transfer, switch off the Leica X2 (see p. 104) and
charge the battery (see p. 100).
