This is the first Leica D-Lux 4 book – “Photographer’s Guide to the Leica D-Lux 4: Getting the Most from Leica’s Compact Digital Camera“:
“This book, written by Alexander S. White, is a guide to one of the more popular and sophisticated digital cameras now on the market. The book is a trade-sized paperback, 227 pages long, with more than 100 color photographs or illustrations. The book includes clearly written explanations of all of the camera’s features, controls, and menus. It also covers topics such as the use of flash (both built-in and external), infrared photography, macro photography, and accessories. All distances and weights in the book are stated in the English system (feet, inches, ounces) as well as the metric system. The book also may be of interest to owners of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 camera, because the D-Lux 4 is very similar to the LX3, and the operations of the two cameras are almost identical.”
Check Alexander White’s blog describing the process of publishing this book. The book can be purchased for US $ 19.95 here.
I will soon organize a giveaway of this book, here on LeicaRumors. Stay tuned.

Fantastic Detailed “How To, Where To Manual.” Alex does a Knock Down Drag Out job of detailing every function of the Leica D-Lux 4. Those that have that ‘dead stare,’ What is that? Well Alex has a detailed Answer! Those that wondered at first look at the “little string” like thing coiled up, well Alex resolves any confusion. It’s your lens cap keeper! And as simple as that, he doesn’t hesitate to advise how and where to put the battery or memory card. Simple for some of us but for those that haven’t “Played Cameras” before, it just drops the Stress Level and Boosts the Confidence. If you don’t want to Grease Up the Black Leica Instruction manual, toss it back in the box and get a copy of Alex’s Book! He might Autograph it if you ask…
Kind of obsolete already if you ask me. The Canon S90 that just came out already beats the pants off the D-Lux 4 and Panasonic LX3, with a big sensor and bright lens in a smaller case to boot. Plus, it doesn’t need a rubber lens cap.
Oh and it’s about half the price.
