SENSOR CLEANING
• This function is only available if the battery has at least 50% charge. A
warning will be displayed if that is not the case.
• Any inspection or cleaning of the sensor should be done in an
environment that is as much as possible dust-free to prevent further
contamination.
• Use clean, possibly ionized gases like air or nitrogen to blow loose dust
from the cover glass of the sensor. We recommend using (rubber)
bellows without a brush. Some specialist, low-pressure cleaning
sprays, e.g. "Tetenal Antidust Professional" can also be used (follow the
instructions provided for the product).
• An 8x or 10x magnifying glass is very helpful for the inspection before
and after cleaning.
• Please contact Leica Customer Care if you are unable to remove the
particles with the methods described above.
• A message will appear on the LCD panel, once the capacity of the
rechargeable battery falls below 40% with the lens aperture fully open:
Please stop sensor cleaning immediately
Please stop sensor cleaning immediately
. The shutter will automatically close
when the camera is switched off.
• Make sure that the aperture is unobstructed and that nothing can
prevent the shutter from closing correctly, as this would result in
damage to the equipment!
Alternatively, send your camera to the Leica Customer Care department
for sensor cleaning (see p. 70). This service is not part of the warranty
offering and will therefore incur charges. Use the

function if you feel confident that you can do the cleaning yourself. The
function will keep the shutter open and allow access to the sensor.

Important
• Leica Camera AG will not accept any responsibility for damages
caused by the user when cleaning the sensor.
• Do not attempt to physically blow dust particles off the cover glass of
the sensor. The smallest droplets of saliva can cause stains that will be
difficult to remove.
• Do not use high pressure compressed air cleaners as they may also
cause damage.
• Avoid touching the sensor surface with any hard objects during
inspection and cleaning.
