SAFETY AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices with
powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g.
induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or computer
monitors, video game consoles, cell phones, radio equipment).
• If you place the camera on or very close to a television set, its
magnetic field could interfere with picture recordings.
• The same applies for use in the vicinity of cell phones.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric
motors, can damage the stored data or the pictures.
• If the camera malfunctions due to the effects of electromagnetic
fields, remove the battery and then turn the camera on again.
Do not use the camera in the immediate vicinity of radio trans-
mitters or high-voltage power lines.
Their magnetic fields can also interfere with picture recordings.
• Protect the camera from contact with insect sprays and other
aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol may
not be used for cleaning.
Certain chemicals and liquids can damage the camera's housing
or the surface finish.
• As rubber and plastics sometimes emit aggressive chemicals,
they should not remain in contact with the camera for a long
time.
• Ensure that sand and dust cannot get into the camera, e.g. on
the beach.
Sand and dust can damage the camera and the memory card.
Take particular care when inserting and removing the card.
• Ensure that water cannot get into the camera, e.g. when it is
snowing or raining and on the beach.
Moisture can cause malfunctions and even irreparable damage
to the camera and the memory card.
• If salt water spray gets onto the camera, wet a soft cloth with
tap water, wring it out thoroughly and wipe the camera with it.
Then wipe down thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Important:
Use only the accessories specified and described in these instruc-
tions or by Leica Camera AG with the camera.
Monitor
• If the camera is exposed to significant temperature fluctuations,
condensation can form on the monitor. Wipe it off carefully with
a soft dry cloth.
• If the camera is very cold when turned on, the monitor image will
initially be slightly darker than normal. As soon as the monitor
warms up, it will reach its normal level of brightness.
The monitor is manufactured using a high-precision process. This
ensures that of the total of around 920,000 pixels more than
99.995% work correctly and only 0.005% remain dark or are always
bright. However, this is not a malfunction and it does not impair the
reproduction of the picture.
