CLEANING THE SENSOR / DUST DETECTION
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.
You can use the
Dust detection
function to check whether or how
many particles are on the sensor.. This is much more accurate than
a visual inspection and is therefore a reliable method of assessing
whether cleaning is required.
The camera can be returned to Leica Camera AG Customer Care
department (address: see p. 248) for chargeable cleaning of the
sensor; this cleaning is not covered by warranty.
You can also carry out cleaning yourself, using the
Sensor cleaning
function in the menu. This allows access to the sensor by keeping
the shutter open.
DUST DETECTION
1. In the main camera menu, (see p. 150/240) select
Sensor
cleaning
(page 4/section
SETUP
).
• The relevant sub-menu appears.
2. Select
Dust detection
.
• The following message appears:
Attention Please close
the aperture to the largest value (16 or 22), and take a
picture of a homogeneous surface (defocussed).
.
3. Press the shutter release button.
• After a short time, a "picture" appears in the monitor, in
which black pixels represent grains of dust.

If dust detection is not possible, a corresponding message appears
