First pics with the Leica Digilux Zoom...

So, I've got a Fuji-branded 32MB SmartMedia card in the Digilux Zoom. With image quality set to "Fine", which is 1280x1024 pixels, that gives me 46 images worth of capacity.

While that resolution is comically low by today's standards (your typical 24MP camera is more like 6000x4000), remember that in 1999 most folks were still looking at images on 1024x768 pixel CRT monitors and those photos were being transmitted via dialup modems as often as not. A 760k image file was big.

I have white balance set to auto. 



The Leica's ISO is fixed at the native 125; even in Manual mode you can't change it. Indoors shots obviously require flash.


The screen washes out in sunlight. Fortunately it also has a tunnel-type optic viewfinder.
