[Leica] leica m 264 problem

[Douglas Sharp]

Here's a link to the manual Jim is quoting on the Leica 
Web site:

https://en.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/LEICA-M-MONOCHROM2/Downloads

Look for the PAGE NUMBERS printed in the manual - the 
PDF page numbering displayed by PDF readers is 
different - e.g. page 159 of the manual is page 162 of 
the PDF file when you read it with ABBYY Software.

Cheers
Douglas
