compatible with most operating systems.
The following Table lists the operating systems for the
uses concerned.
PTP mode
This setting can only be used on the most up-to-date
operating systems, such as Windows® XP and
MAC® OS X. Here, the LEICA DIGILUX 2 is recognized
as a “digital camera”. The operating systems auto-
matically launch Assistants for simple downloading of
the pictures and video files, or offer direct access to
picture editing programs, e.g.
Adobe®Photoshop®Elements®.
Remote control mode via the USB connection
This mode must be selected if the camera is to be
used with the LEICA USB Remote Control Software
(see p. 176).
Together, they allow control of the camera and imme-
diate downloading of pictures to the hard disk from
the computer. Furthermore, incremental pictures can
also be set and controlled in this way.
To install the software please refer to the next section,
instructions on use can be found in the help function
