Signal tones
On the Leica S, you can decide whether you want messages or autofo-
cus operation (see p. 37) to be acknowledged by acoustic signals - two
volume levels are available - or whether you prefer the camera to oper-
ate largely silently.
A beep is used as an acknowledgement, and can be activated individu-
ally in autofocus mode to confirm that the setting has been made and
to indicate a message.
Note:
By factory default, the signal tones are deactivated.
Setting the functions
1. In the SETUP menu (see p. 17/26), select Acoustic Signal (5.29), and
2. call up the submenu. It consists of the 3 items Volume, AF Confirmation
and Warnings.
3. Select Volume, and
• A further submenu appears, containing two options High and Low.
4. then the desired function in this submenu.
• After confirmation, the initial monitor screen appears again.
5. In the other submenus, choose whether or not you want to activate
the tones for the respective functions.
If you select On
For AF Confirmation a signal sounds as soon as the focus is set correctly,
either automatically or manually, i.e. in conjunction with the indicator
(2.7b) lighting up in the viewfinder (see p. 10).
For Warnings a signal sounds for all messages and warnings that appear
in the monitor (1.23), and when the self timer function is used (see p.
46).
If you select Off for Warnings
Even if you select Off, an acoustic warning signal will sound in two situa-
tions:
- If the cover (1.19) of the memory card slot is opened while transferring
data (see p. 21/62)
- If the shutter will close again at the end of the sensor cleaning process
(see p. 68).
Monitor and top panel display
The Leica S has two displays:
- a colored OLED (organic light emitting diode) display (1.12), and
- a large 3” liquid crystal color monitor (1.23).
The top panel displays shows (see "Displays / In the top panel display",
p. 11) the most important basic information about the status of the
memory card(s) and the battery, as well as for exposure control.
The monitor is primarily used for viewing pictures recorded on the mem-
ory card(s) and reproduces the entire field of view plus the selected data
and information (see "Displays / In the monitor", p. 12). You also have
the option of calling up the following displays:
In review mode in addition to the picture
- a histogram (4.3), (see p. 13/57)
- indication of areas that lack definition as they are too bright or too dark
(see "Clipping").
- additional picture data (4.4), (see p. 14/57)
In recording mode, a comprehensive list of the most important picture
parameters currently set (see "Displays/In the monitor/4.1 Picture
data display", p. 12).
Both displays can be adapted to the relevant situation, i.e. the prevail-
ing lighting conditions: The top panel display has adjustable brightness,
while the monitor also has backlighting. The brightness of the monitor
is automatically adjusted depending on the external brightness. This is
done by the sensor (1.28).
Setting the functions
1. In the SETUP menu (see p. 17/26) select, Monitor / Display (5.27), and
2. in the first submenu, whether you want to set the monitor - Back Plane
or the top panel display - Top Cover.
To set the monitor:
3. In the second submenu, select whether you want to set the Brightness
or Backlight and
4. finally set the desired level in the relevant submenus. Five levels are
available for each, with an additional automatic setting for Backlight.
To set the top panel display:
5. In the second submenu, select whether you want to set the brightness
or the Stand-by time, and
6. finally set the desired level or display time in the relevant submenu.
Three levels are available for each.
