A Few Questions ... 1) Does the D-Lux 8 use a leaf

A Few Questions ... 1) Does the D-Lux 8 use a leaf shutter like the Q series? and 2) What is the # of stills rating for battery life? and 3) is the DNG really only 12 bit and 4) what is the e-shutter readout time.
Asked by: Kent
Yes to the D-Lux 8 having a leaf shutter like the Q series and also the DNG is 12 bit. The e-shutter readout time is fast, with minimum rolling shutter distortion but actual values are not available. Battery life is about 300 shots, depending on how much you are using the zoom, lcd screen, etc., which all affect battery life.

The Leica D-Lux 8 Digital Camera (Metal Gray) does have a monochrome profile setting in the camera's menu. As indicated on page 67 in the camera's instruction manual, you may press the [MENU] button on the rear of the camera, select [JPG Settings] from the main menu, then select [FILM STYLE]. From here, you may select a color profile option. The two black & white options included in the menu would be [Monochrome] and [Monochrome High Contrast].
