Care/Storage
123
• Lens caps also protect the lens against accidental fingerprint
smudges and rain.
• All mechanical bearings and sliding surfaces on your lens are
lubricated. Make sure to periodically move the focus ring and the
aperture setting ring to prevent seizing if the lens will not be
used for an extended period of time.
• Make sure not to apply too much lubricant to the bayonet and
take particular care not to apply grease to the 6-bit encoding.
Too much lubricant will result in grease residue lodging in the
gap, where dirt will then accumulate. The legibility of the code
will be impacted, which may cause malfunctions in digital M
models.
VIEWFINDER/LCD PANEL
• Switch off your camera and leave it to stand at room tempera-
ture for around 1 h if condensation has formed on or in the
camera. The condensation will disappear, once the camera
temperature has reached room temperature.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
• Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries should only be stored
partially charged, i.e. not fully depleted or fully charged. The
camera LCD panel will show the current charge level of the
battery. Charge the battery twice a year for around 15 minutes
to avoid deep discharge in case of very long storage periods.
MEMORY CARDS
• Make sure to store memory cards in their anti-static container
when not in use.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high
temperatures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static
electricity. Always remove the memory card if the camera will
not be used for an extended period of time.
• We recommend formatting the memory card from time to time,
because fragmented residual data from deleted files may block
some of its memory capacity.
