GENERAL NOTES
CAMERA/LENS
• Make a note of the serial numbers of your camera (engraved in
the base of the camera housing) and lenses, as this information
will be extremely important in case of loss.
• Make sure to always have a lens or the camera bayonet cover
attached to prevent dust or other foreign bodies penetrating the
camera.
• That is why you should always replace lenses quickly and in a
dust-free environment.
• Never store the camera bayonet cover or the rear lens cover in a
pants pocket, as they will attract lint and dust, which could then
be accidentally introduced into the camera.
• Leica releases firmware updates for lenses at irregular intervals.
You can download any new firmware version from our homepage
and transfer it to your lens. Please read the section “Installing
firmware updates” (p. 100) for more information.
LCD PANEL
• Condensation may form on the display if the camera is exposed
to great temperature fluctuations. Wipe the screen carefully with
a soft, dry cloth.
• The screen image will initially be slightly darker than normal if
the camera is very cold when it is switched on. The normal level
of brightness will be reached as soon as the display warms up.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
• The battery must have a temperature b 10°C and +
30°C for charging, as the charger will otherwise not switch on or
will switch off again.
• Lithium-ion batteries can be charged at any time, regardless of
their current charge level. A partially charged battery will charge
to full capacity faster than a fully discharged one.
• The rechargeable batteries come only partly charged ex works
and should therefore be charged fully before their first use.
• A new battery only reaches its full capacity after it has been fully
charged and – by using it in the camera – depleted 2 to 3 times.
This depletion process should be repeated roughly every 25
cycles.
• Both battery and charger heat up during the charging process.
That is normal and not a malfunction.
• Rapid flashing of the two LEDs (> 2 Hz) when charging
commences indicates a charging error (e.g. maximum charging
time exceeded, voltages or temperatures outside the permitted
ranges, or short circuit). Disconnect the charger from the mains
and remove the battery. Ensure that the above temperature
conditions are met and then restart the charging process.
Please contact your dealer, the Leica office in your country or
Leica Camera AG if the problem persists.
• Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries generate power by way of
internal chemical reactions. These reactions are influenced by
ambient temperature and humidity. To ensure a maximum
service life of the battery, it should not be exposed to extreme
temperatures (high or low) for extended periods of time (e.g. in a
parked car in the summer or winter).
• However, every battery has a limited service life! After several
hundred charging cycles, this limitation will become evident as
the operating times get significantly shorter.
