TIME
The time can either be shown in 24-hour or 12-hour format.
Both the display format and the actual figures are set using the
Time
option, essentially in exactly the same way as described for
Date in
the previous section.
Note:
Even if no battery is inserted or the battery is flat, an integrated
back-up battery retains the date and time setting for around 2
months. After this time the date and time must be set again as
described above.
AUTOMATIC POWER OFF
This function turns the Leica M off automatically after a preset time.
Setting the function
1. In the main menu (see p. 154/246) select
Auto Power Off
(page 4,
SETUP section).
2. Now select the desired time.
Note:
Even if the camera is in standby mode, i.e. the displays have gone out
after 30s or the activated
Auto Power Off function has turned it off,
it can be reactivated at any time by pressing the shutter release (16).
