Leica M Monochrom Anleitung Seite 218

Transferring data with the camera as an external drive
(mass storage)
Precondition: The camera/multifunction M hand grip combina-
tion is connected to the computer via the USB cable.
• Under Windows operating systems:
®
The camera connected to the computer using the USB cable is
detected as an external drive by the operating system and is
assigned a drive letter.
• Under Mac operating systems:
®
If the camera is connected to the computer using the USB cable,
the memory card used appears as a storage medium on the
desktop. With this method, the Finder can be used to access the
files directly.
Notes:
• The 100LEICA, 101LEICA, etc. folders can hold up to 9999
pictures.
• As long as this function is active, all other camera functions are
blocked.
Important:
• Use only the USB cable supplied with the hand grip.
• While data is being transferred from the camera to the
computer, the USB cable connection must not under any
circumstances be interrupted, as otherwise the computer and/
or the camera may crash, and the memory card may even be
irreparably damaged.
• While data is being transferred from the camera 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. It is therefore to be recommended that data are only
transferred when the camera has sufficient battery capacity or
when using the mains unit of the multifunction M hand grip.
• Should the battery capacity become exhausted during the
process, stop the transfer and switch off the camera. Repeat the
process for the data not yet transferred using a fully charged
battery or with connected mains unit.
