Transferring data to a computer
The LEICA S2 is compatible with the following operating
systems: Microsoft®: Windows® XP / Vista®
Apple® Macintosh®: Mac® OS X (10.5)
The LEICA S2 is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface for transfer-
ring data to a computer. This allows fast data transfer to compu-
ters with the same kind of interface. The computer used must
either have a USB port (for direct connection to the LEICA S2)
or a card reader for CF or SD/SDHC cards.
Note:
Connecting two or more devices to a computer or connecting
using a USB hub or extension cables can result in malfunctions.
Via USB connection
The LEICA S2 allows data to be transferred via a USB cable
using two different standards. It thus takes accounts of the fact
that some programs for transferring picture data require a
connection complying with the PTP protocol. In addition, it is
always possible to operate the camera as an external drive
(„bulk storage“).
Setting the function
1. In the SETUP section of the menu (see p. 13/22), select
USB Mode (5.20), and
2. in the subsequent submenu select PTP or Mass Storage.
Connecting and transferring data using the PTP proto-
col
If the LEICA S2 is set to PTP and is detected by the connected
computer, proceed as follows:
Note:
When transferring data using the PTP standard, all pictures on
the memory card used are displayed on the computer, provided
storage of the image data is set to Sequential or Parallel
(see p. 31). By contrast, if External is set, no data is transferred.
With Windows® XP / Vista®
3. Use the USB cable supplied (D) to connect the data output socket
(1.32) on the LEICA S2 to a free USB port on the computer. To do
this, first open the cover (1.29) over the socket on the camera to
the front.
With Windows® XP
After connecting, a message appears on the desktop to confirm
that the LEICA S2 has been detected as new hardware
(1st connection only!).
4. Double-click on the message (not required after the 1st
connection). A pull-down menu entitled „S2 Digital Camera“
opens for the data transfer wizard.
5. Click on „OK“ and follow the subsequent instructions in the
wizard to copy the pictures to a folder of your choice and
access them in the normal way.
With Windows® Vista®
After connection, a message about installation of the device
driver software appears above the taskbar. At the same time
„USB Connection“ appears on the camera display. Successful
installation is confirmed by another message. The „Automatic
Review“ menu opens with various device options.
4. You can use the Windows wizard to „Import Images“ or
„Open Device to View Files“ in the normal way, to
5. access the card directory structure using Windows Explorer.
With Mac® OS X (10.5)
1. Use the USB cable supplied (D) to connect the data output
socket (1.32) on the LEICA S2 to a free USB port on the com-
puter. To do this, first open the cover (1.29) over the socket
on the camera to the front. Once the camera has been suc-
cessfully connected to the computer, USB Connexion appears
on the camera display.
2. Now open the „Finder“ on the computer.
3. In the left window, click on “Programs” in the “Locations”
category.
4. Now select the „Digital Images“ program in the right window.
The program opens and the name „S2 Digital Camera“
appears in the program title bar.
5. The pictures can now be saved on the computer using the
„Load“ button.
