SETTING THE TRIMMING
Select the desired trimming by turning the focal length setting ring 

(6), i.e. by zooming 

Shorter focal lengths result in larger trimming, with smaller reproduc-

tion of the subject, while longer focal lengths produce smaller 

trimming with an enlarged reproduction of the subject.

• The monitor image changes accordingly.

DISTANCE SETTING
On the Leica X Vario, the distance can be set either automatically or 

manually. Both modes cover a distance range of 30cm to infinity.

AUTOMATIC DISTANCE SETTING / AUTOFOCUS
1. 

 Turn the distance setting ring (5) - overcoming the slight 

resistance – to the 

AF

 position

2. 

 Press the shutter button (8) to the pressure point to have the 

sharpness and thus the distance automatically determined, set 

and stored 

•
