42 / Folder management / Formatting the memory card(s)
Folder management
The image data on the memory cards is stored in folders, which
are created automatically. The folder names always consist of
eight characters - three figures and five letters. In the factory
default setting, the first folder is named „100LEICA“, the second
„101LEICA“, etc. As a result, the camera can create a maximum
of 999 folders. The LEICA S2 allows you to create new folders at
any time and to specify their name yourself. You can also change
the file names.

• The folder name appears (initially always „XXX1LEICA“).
The first of the five characters is marked as ready for editing.
Positions 4-8 can be changed.
Notes:
• The next free number is always created as the folder number.
• All numbers up to „999“ are available. If the number capacity
has been used up, a corresponding warning message
appears.

the click wheel (1.18) to change the numbers and/or
letters and press to select the other positions.
• The characters available are upper case letters from „A“ to
„Z“, figures from „0“ to „9“ and a space „_“; they are arran-
ged in this order in an endless loop.
After confirming the settings by pressing button 1.21, labeled
OK in this case, or after setting last position by pressing
the click wheel, a further submenu appears with the query
Reset File Numbering?.

wheel, the original menu list appears.

The „X“ characters are placeholders.
Formatting the memory card(s)
It is not normally necessary to format (initialize) memory cards
that have already been used. However, if a card that has yet to
be formatted is inserted for the first time, it must be formatted.
Important:
Simple formatting does not cause the data on the card to be
irretrievably lost. Only the directory is deleted, which means
that the existing files are no longer directly accessible. The data
can be accessed again using appropriate software. Only the
data that is then overwritten by saving new data is actually per-
manently deleted.
Notes:
• Do not turn the camera off while memory cards are being for-
matted.
• If the memory card has been formatted in another device,
such as a computer, you should reformat it in the LEICA S2.
• If a memory card cannot be formatted, you should ask your
dealer or the Leica Information Service (address, see p. 64)
for advice.
• Even protected pictures (see previous section) are deleted
when formatting the memory card.
Setting the function
1. In the SETUP section of the menu (see p. 13/22), select
Format (5.19), and
2. in the subsequent submenu select which of the two cards
you want to format, or both.
• To safeguard against unintentional settings, a correspon-
ding confirmation prompt appears in the monitor.
3. Press the click wheel (1.18) to confirm that you really want to
format the memory card(s).
