IMPORTANT
Make sure to carefully read the information on this and the following
pages if you wish to use your Leica X-U in or underwater. Here you
will fi nd descriptions of custom functions for this area of use.
NOTES ON WATER AND DUST RESISTANCE
• The water and dust resistance of the Leica X-U complies with
protection class IP68 in accordance with the classifi cations set out
by JIS/IEC. The fi rst digit refers to the resistance against particles,
the second refers to the resistance against moisture/water. Please
consult the relevant technical literature for details on classifi cation
criteria.
• In the case of Leica X-U, IP68 means that the camera can be
operated at a water depth of max. 15m/49ft for up to 60 minutes.
Prerequisite for faultless operation is the strict compliance at all
times with the information and instructions provided below. This
does, however, not constitute a comprehensive guarantee in terms
of unconditional water and dust resistance and in that context
complete protection against possible damage.
• Protection type IP68 refers to sweet and salt water, but not to any
other liquids. It specifi cally does not cover the penetration of water
impacting the camera with high pressure (e.g. when jumping or fall-
ing into the water with the camera, under waterfalls, hose water or
high-pressure water cannon impact, etc.).
• The camera will maintain its water and dust resistance only within
the temperature range of 0°C to 40°C/32°-104°F. Please ensure
that the camera will only be operated and stored under permissible
conditions, i.e. not in direct sunlight, on a radiator, the dashboard
of a car, etc. We furthermore advise against any use of the camera
in hot water, e.g. hot springs, baths.
• The camera is to some extent impact-resistant. It has successfully
passed impact tests in accordance with MIL-STD-810G, method
516.5. This does, however, not constitute a comprehensive
guarantee in terms of protection against possible damage under
any circumstance.
Please consult relevant technical literature for details on classifi ca-
tion criteria.
• Excessive pressure, dropping or other impacts may negatively
impair the camera's water and dust resistance. Make sure to have
the camera checked by an authorized customer service (fee-based)
following any of these events.
• The internal workings of the camera are not water-proof and must
therefore be carefully protected.
• Faults caused by water penetration due to improper handling are
not covered by the Leica guarantee.
• This camera does not fl oat - make sure to secure it in deep water!
