Working color space
The requirements in terms of color reproduction differ considerably for the
various possible uses of digital picture files. Different color spaces have
therefore been developed, such as the standard RGB (red/green/blue) that
is perfectly adequate for simple printing. For more demanding image pro-
cessing using appropriate programs, e.g. for color correction, Adobe

RGB
has become established as the standard in the relevant sectors.
In the menu, select Color space (3.22), and in the submenu the desired
seting.
Notes:
• If you have your prints produced by major photographic laboratories,
mini labs or Internet picture services, you should always select the
sRGB setting.
• The Adobe RGB setting is only recommended for image processing in
completely color-calibrated working environments.
Copying image data from the internal memory to a memory card
Thanks to its approx. 50 MB internal memory, the LEICA X1 can store sev-
eral images without a card in the camera. If you wish to save these images
permanently though, you should copy the image data to a memory card.
In the menu, select Copy (3.31), and in the submenu, confirm or reject the
copying process.
Creating new folder numbers
The LEICA X1 saves the picture numbers to the memory card in ascending
order. Initially, the corresponding files are all stored in one folder. However,
you can create a new folder at any time, which you can use to store subse-
quent pictures, e.g. to group them together more clearly.
In the menu, select Reset Image Numbering (3.18), and in the submenu,
confirm or reject the resetting process.
Notes:
• The file names (e.g. L1002345.jpg), comprise two groups 100 and 2345.
The first 3 digits are the number of relevant folder, the second 4 digits
are the consecutive picture number within the folder. This ensures that
there are no duplicated file names after the function is used and the
data is transferred to a computer.
• If you wish to reset the folder number to 100, you can do so by format-
ting the card or the internal memory and, immediately afterwards, reset
the image number. This also resets the picture number (to 0001).
