CONNECTING AND TRANSFERRING DATA
WITH THE CAMERA AS AN EXTERNAL DRIVE
(BULK STORAGE)
With Windows operating systems:
If the Leica M Monochrom is connected to the
computer using the USB cable, the operating system
detects it as an external drive and assigns it a drive
letter. Use Windows Explorer to transfer/save the
picture data to your computer.
With Mac operating systems:
If the Leica M Monochrom is connected to the
computer using the USB cable, the memory card used
appears as a storage medium on the desktop. Use
the Finder to transfer/save the picture data to your
computer.
Important:
• Only use the USB cable (C) supplied.
• While data is being transferred from the Leica M
Monochrom to the computer, the connection must
not under any circumstances be broken by removing
the USB cable, as otherwise the computer and/or
the Leica M Monochrom can crash‘ and the
memory card may be irreparably damaged.
• While data is being transferred from the Leica M
Monochrom to the computer, the camera must not
be turned off or turn itself off due to a lack of battery
capacity, as otherwise the computer can crash. For
the same reason the battery must never be removed
from the camera whilst the connection is active. If the
capacity battery capacity runs low while transferring
data, end the data transfer, turn off the Leica M
Monochrom (see p. 106) and charge the battery (see
p. 100).
