If one of the four fixed presets or the manual setting
of the white balance has been set, the LEICA DIGILUX 2
allows further fine adjustment. In this connection, a
warmer, i.e. slightly redder, or cooler, i.e. slightly

• During setting, the effect can be followed on the
viewfinder/monitor screen, at the same time the
symbol for the white balance function set that is to
the left of the scale changes from white to red or
blue.
• After setting, the original viewfinder/monitor
screen appears again with the relevant red or blue
display (2.1.3 b/c/d/e/g).
Note: Fine adjustment only concerns the white bal-
ance function that has been set. If it is to be done for
another white balance function, this has to be set and
then the fine adjustment has to be made again.
