Storage - Leica M-D Anleitung

EN
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.

STORAGE

• If you are not using the camera for a longer period of time, we
recommend that you:
remove the memory card (see p. 69), and
b. remove the battery (see p. 68), (after 2 months at the latest
the date and time that were entered will be lost.
• A lens works like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on
the front of the camera. The camera must always be protected
from strong sunlight. Use the lens cover and keep the camera in
the shade (or immediately put it away in the case) help to pre-
vent damage to the interior of the camera.
• Store the camera preferably in a closed and padded container
so that nothing can rub against it and it is protected from dust.

• Store the camera in a dry, adequately ventilated place, where
neither high temperatures nor high humidity will occur. When
used in humid conditions, the camera should be completely free
of all moisture before being stored away.
• Photo cases that became wet during use should be emptied to
prevent damage to your equipment caused by moisture and any
residues of leather-tanning agent that may be released.
• To prevent fungal growth during use in hot, humid tropical cli-
mates, the camera equipment should be exposed to the sun and
air as much as possible. Storage in airtight containers or cases is
recommended only if a desiccant such as silica gel is placed in
the container.
• To prevent the formation of fungus, do not store the camera in a
leather case for long periods of time.
• Note the serial numbers of your camera (engraved on the acces-
sory shoe) and lenses, as these are extremely important in case
of loss.
