First off, I think you mean "246".

Here is a quick clip from a review:


    Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246) hands-on

The camera features a new 24MP CMOS sensor that has no color filter 
array and no low pass filter. The lack of colored filters increases the 
amount of light that reaches the photodiodes compared to a filtered 
sensor, and thus the lowest ISO setting the camera offers is ISO 320.

As before, the camera records DNG Raw files and JPEGs, simultaneously or 
individually. DNG files measure a maximum of 5976 x 3992 pixels, while 
JPEGs are 5952 x 3968 pixels. We have the option to save DNG files with 
or without compression, with a maximum compressed size of 34.5MB per image.

The original Monochrom uses an 18MP CCD sensor.

It sounds like you just have to get "very" familiar with the menus.
