Caring for your camera
To clean your camera, remove the battery, and/or disconnect the power plug from the
outlet, and wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
●
Use a damp cloth to remove stubborn stains, before wiping with a dry cloth.
●
Do not use benzine, thinners, alcohol or kitchen detergent, as these may damage the
outer casing and finish of the camera.
●
If using a chemically-treated cloth, read the supplied instructions carefully.
●
For care of the viewfinder/Eye cup
•As the eye cup cannot be removed, blow away the dust on the viewfinder surface
with a blower (commercially available), gently wipe it with a dry and soft cloth, and be
careful not to remove it.
•If you wipe the eye cup too hard and it is removed, consult the dealer or your nearest
Leica Customer Care center.
When not using for a while
●
Turn off the camera before removing the battery and card.
•Ensure that battery is removed to prevent damage through over-discharge.
•Clock settings will be saved for approx. 3 months after the battery is removed,
provided a fully charged battery was installed in the camera for 24 hours beforehand.
●
Do not leave in contact with rubber or plastic bags.
●
Store together with a drying agent (silica gel) if leaving in drawer, etc. Store batteries in
cool (15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F)) places with low humidity (40%RH to 60%RH) and
no major temperature changes.
●
Charge battery once per year and use completely before storing again.
●
Check all the parts before taking pictures when you have not used the camera for a
long period of time.
Monitor/viewfinder
●
Avoid excessive pressure on the monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage
the monitor.
●
In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the monitor or
the viewfinder may appear slightly darker than normal immediately after the camera is
turned on. Normal brightness will return once the internal components have warmed up.
The monitor and viewfinder are made with extremely high precision technology.
However, there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The monitor and viewfinder screens are controlled with
extremely high precision, but some pixels may be inactive. The spots will not be visible
on the recorded pictures.
