Precautions and care instructions

CLEANING THE SENSOR

If any dust or dirt particles should adhere to the sensor cover glass,

depending on the size of the particles this can be identiﬁed by dark spots or

marks on the pictures.

The camera can be returned to the Leica Camera AG Customer Care

department (address: see p. 126) for chargeable cleaning of the sensor;

this cleaning is not covered by the guarantee.

However, you can carry out cleaning yourself:

1. Turn the main switch clockwise as far as it will go ( ).

2. Simultaneously press the shutter release and the function button. The

shutter opens, exposing the sensor for cleaning.

Note:

If the battery capacity is too low, the shutter will not open and bc (= battery

capacity) appears in the viewﬁnder to indicate this.

Carrying out cleaning:

Make sure you follow the instructions on the next page.

When cleaning is complete, turn oﬀ the camera with the main switch.

The shutter closes again after 10s.

Notes:

• Generally, to protect the camera against ingress of dust etc. into the

interior of the camera, it is important always to have a lens or a cover

ﬁtted to the camera body.

• For the same reason, when changing lenses work quickly and in an

environment that is as dust-free as possible.

• As plastic parts can easily pick up a static charge and then attract more

dust, plastic lens caps and covers should only be stored for short periods

in pockets in clothing.

• As far as possible, the sensor should only be cleaned in a dust-free

environment to prevent further soiling.

• Lightly adhering dust can be blown oﬀ the sensor cover glass using clean

and, if necessary ionized gases such as air or nitrogen. It makes sense to

use a (rubber) bellows with no brush for this purpose. Special, low

pressure cleaning sprays such as "Tetenal Antidust Professional" can also

be used in line with their speciﬁed usage.

• If the particles cannot be removed from the sensor in this way, consult

Leica Customer Service.

• If the battery capacity falls to lower than 30% when the shutter is open, it

cannot be closed again as described above, only by turning oﬀ the

camera.

• Always make sure that the shutter window is clear, i.e. so that no object

can obstruct correct closing of the shutter, otherwise damage may occur.

Important:

• Leica Camera AG accepts no liability for damage caused by the user

when cleaning the sensor.

• Do not attempt to blow dust particles oﬀ the sensor cover glass using

your mouth; even tiny droplets of saliva can cause marks that are diﬃcult

to remove.

• Compressed air cleaners with high gas pressure may not be used as they

can also cause damage.

• Avoid touching the sensor surface with any hard objects during cleaning.
