When downloading videos from a Leica camera to Leica FOTOS, some limitations may apply:
Not all Leica cameras support video file downloads.
On older models, video files exceeding a certain size may not be transferable via Leica FOTOS.
Leica cameras support a wide range of video formats, using various combinations of container formats, codecs, and resolutions. To successfully store a video after downloading, the mobile device must support playback of the format used during recording.

Only a selection of video formats supported by Leica cameras can be played and stored by mobile devices. If a mobile device does not support a specific video format, the file cannot be downloaded through Leica FOTOS or saved to the gallery.
To ensure compatibility, the video format can be adjusted via Menu > Video Settings (or Menu > Video Profiles on the SL3/SL3-S) before recording.
