You have no control over depth of field. Lighting conditions and the built-in meter will determine
the "proper" aperture and shutter speed.
In manual mode you can compensate through 9 levels from (-0.9 to 1.5 EV) and/or compensate flash
brightness from -0.6 to 0.6 EV. However you will no know the aperture.
>I'm also confused about 'white balance',
White Balance adjusts the color balance for lighting conditions. You can choose:
AUTO, outdoors sun, outdoors shade, daylight flourescent, warm white flourescent, cool white
flourescent, or incandescent bulbs.
>the concept of digital zoom as opposed to optical zoom (an innovation
Realistically the Digilux Zoom has only optical zoom capability. The digital zoom feature simply
takes a hunk of the 1280 file size and makes it a 640x480 image. In other words you cannot get
maximum file size out of digital zoom function.
If you do not have a manual for the camera - I recommend that you contact Leica and get one.
Hope this helps.
