In this situation it is advisable to keep the reserve battery inside a warm pocket, for example, to maintain it near body temperature.
Introduction 1.11 CHARGING THE BATTERY BATTERY CHARGER The X1D II is supplied with a USB power adapter for charging the camera battery through the USB port of the camera. CHARGE THE BATTERY Turn off the camera and insert the USB-C plug from the battery charger into the USB socket on the camera (A). Insert the battery charger into a standard (100–240V~ /50–60 Hz) domestic socket.
Introduction 1.12 ATTACHING THE SHOULDER STRAP A Attach the included shoulder strap to the camera by following these instructions: 1 A Attach the leather end (1) of the strap to the metal strap lug (2). B Open the metal ring (3) with a sharp tool. E.g. a screwdriver or a small knife. Be careful not to scratch the camera. 2 C Insert the open end of the metal ring into the hole of the strap lug. Rotate the ring one full turn and make sure it is fully attached to the strap lug.

Functions Test image. F/5.6. 80 images. STE P S IZE For high-quality work you should normally select Small or Medium step size. For less critical work you can also use Large or Extra Large. Large or Extra Large can also be used in certain situations when the type of subject allows. To find what works best for your situation, we encourage you to make experiments. For this test two different step sizes was used , Small and Extra Large.
Functions The step size is related to the depth of field (DoF) produced by the camera at a given aperture. This means that the actual focus shift in the subject will be larger with a higher aperture number. E.g. f/4 will give a smaller step than f/11. However, before each exposure, the camera will automatically calculate the actual step size using the current focus position, focal length of the lens, aperture and pixel dimensions of the sensor.
Functions EX AM PLES This page shows a few examples to give you a starting point for which settings to use. Best results will always be achieved from your own experiments.
