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 cap on 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, the lens caps and covers should only be
stored for short periods in pockets in clothing.
• As far as possible, both inspection and cleaning of the sensor
should be performed 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,
please refer the matter to your Leica Information Service.
• If the battery capacity falls to lower than 40% while the shutter is
open, the warning message
appears in the monitor. At the same time
cleaning immediately.
a beep tone will sound, which continues until the camera is
turned off. Turning the camera off will cause the shutter to be
closed again.
• Be absolutely sure in this case that the shutter window is clear,
i.e. that no object can obstruct the closing movement of the
shutter, otherwise damage may occur.
Attention Please stop sensor
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.
• Take care to avoid touching the sensor surface with any hard
objects during inspection and cleaning.
