Format NEW SD Card On D2


Recommended Posts

Congratulations on finding a D2 - I bought one just over a year ago & it's my favourite camera, in spite of the low spec. (by current standards).

The format instruction took me a little while to find, but it's on page 115 in the 'Quick Guide' section of the manual (well, it is in the manual I downloaded, so I assume they're all the same). You move the small lever under the shutter speed dial to the left - it's the 'Play' setting, with a small arrow on it. Then, you'll see a new menu on the rear screen & 'Format' is within that menu.

Best wishes,

Geoff

Awesome and thank you. Can you recommend a close lens for shooting flowers and plants etc. I don't want to spend the 350.00 + for the leica collectible. Some good glass that will give me excellent quality images. I am NEW with the D2 and can use any suggestions you have or anyone on the D2 forum. Thanks again, Dennis

I use the Panasonic DMW-LC69 which is the close-up lens for the Lumix DMC-LC1 (Panasonic's equivalent to the Digilux 2).

Many users of the Digilux leave the camera set to jpeg only; the quality is excellent and of course the in-camera processing of these images is then (relatively) quick. I prefer to have the back-up of a raw file, so I have my camera set to jpeg+raw. It is slow, but I can live with that (most of the time - it does depend on what you're shooting, of course).

The out-of-camera B&W images are very good, often I set the camera to B&W (via the White Balance part of the menu) which gives a B&W jpeg but all the colour information in the raw file. You also have the benefit of seeing the image in B&W through the viewfinder.

As others have said, the files are quite 'delicate' by today's standard so make adjustments carefully.

Finally (for now!) a spare battery is always a good idea if you don't have one already.
