SAFETY REMARKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices with powerful magnetic, electrostatic or
electromagnetic fields (e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or computer monitors, video
game consoles, cell phones, broadcasting equipment). Their electromagnetic fields can interfere with
recordings.
• Image recording may be affected if you place the camera on a television set or operate the camera in its
vicinity or near a cell phone.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors, can damage the stored picture data or
disrupt recording.
• Switch off the camera, remove the battery and switch the camera back on if the camera malfunctions due
to the effects of electromagnetic fields.
• Do not use the camera in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines. Their
electromagnetic fields can also interfere with recordings.
• Always store small parts e.g. the accessory shoe cover as follows:
– out of the reach of children
– in a safe location, where they will not get lost or stolen
• State-of-the-art electronic components are sensitive to static discharge. You can easily pick up charges of
several 10,000 volts by simply walking on synthetic floor coverings. A static discharge can occur when you
touch the camera, and especially if it is placed on a conductive surface. A static discharge on the camera
housing poses no risk for the electronics. Despite built-in safety circuits, you should avoid direct contact
with external camera contacts like those in the flash shoe.
• Take care not to soil or scratch the sensor for lens detection (6-bit encoding) in the bayonet. You must
similarly prevent direct contact of the bayonet with grains of sand or similar particles, as these could cause
irreparable damage. This camera component must only be cleaned with a dry cloth.
• Use a cotton or linen cloth instead of an optical micro-fiber cloth (synthetic). Before touching the contacts,
you can make sure you discharge any electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or water pipe
(conductive, grounded material). Dirt deposits and oxidation on the contacts can be avoided by storing your
camera in a dry location with the lens cap and flash shoe cap attached.
• Use only accessories specified for this model to prevent faults, short circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers) yourself. Repairs must be done at authorized
service centers only.
• Protect the camera against contact with insect sprays and other aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit,
thinner and alcohol must not be used for cleaning. Some chemicals and liquids can damage the camera
housing or the surface finish.
• Rubber and plastics are known to expel aggressive chemicals and should therefore not be kept in contact
with the camera for extended periods of time.
• Prevent any sand or dust or water penetration into the camera, e.g. during snowfall or rain or on the beach.
Be extra careful when changing the lens and inserting or removing the memory card and battery. Sand and
dust can damage the camera, the lens, the memory card and the battery. Moisture can cause malfunctions
and irreparable damage to the camera and memory card.
LENS
• A camera lens can have the effect of a magnifying glass when exposed to direct frontal sunlight. The
camera must therefore be protected against extended exposure to direct sunlight. Using the lens cap and
keeping the camera in the shade or ideally in its camera case will help prevent damage to the interior of the
camera.

BATTERY
• Improper use of the batteries or the use of unapproved battery types may result in an explosion!
• Do not expose the rechargeable battery to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture for prolonged periods of
time. Likewise, the batteries must not be placed in a microwave oven or a high-pressure container as this
would pose a fire or explosion hazard.
• Do not under any circumstances charge or insert a damp or wet battery!
• A safety valve in the battery ensures that any excess pressure caused by improper handling is discharged
safely. It is nevertheless important to dispose of a bloated battery immediately. This battery will pose an
explosion hazard!
• Keep the battery contacts clean and easily accessible. Although lithium-ion batteries are secured against
short circuits, they should still be protected against contact with metal objects like paper clips or jewelry. A
short-circuited battery can get very hot and cause severe burns.
• When a battery is accidentally dropped, make sure to check the housing and the contacts immediately for
any damage. A damaged battery can damage the camera.
• In case of noise, discoloration, deformation, overheating or leaking fluid, the battery must be removed from
the camera or charger immediately and replaced. Continued use of the battery may result in overheating,
which can cause fire and/or explosion!
• Never throw batteries into a fire as they might explode!
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of a leak or a smell of burning. Leaked fluid can catch
fire!
• The use of other chargers not approved by Leica Camera AG can cause damage to the batteries and, in
extreme cases, may cause serious or life-threatening injuries.
• Connect the charger to a freely accessible power socket.
• The car charging cable supplied must never be connected while the charger is connected to the mains.
• Battery and charger must not be opened. Repairs must only be carried out by authorized service centers.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause suffocation when swallowed.
CHARGER
• Using the charger in the vicinity of broadcasting receivers may interfere with the reception of the device.
Ensure a distance of at least 1 m (3 ft) between the charger and the receiver.
• When the charger is in use, it may emit a buzzing sound – this is normal and not a malfunction.
• Disconnect the charger from the mains when it is not in use, because it consumes some (a very small
amount) electricity, even when no battery is inserted.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit them.
• The car charging cable supplied must only be operated in 12V in-car grids and must never be connected
while the charger is connected to mains electricity.
MEMORY CARDS
• Never remove the memory card during a datasave or card reading process. The camera must not be
switched off or be subjected to impact or vibrations while working.
• Do not open the cover/remove the memory card or the battery while the status LED is lit, which indicates
memory access. Data on the card may otherwise be destroyed and camera malfunctions may occur.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this will cause damage and result in the loss of the stored data.
• Do not touch the connections on the reverse of the memory card and keep them clean and dry.
• Keep memory cards out of the reach of children. Swallowing a memory card may cause suffocation.
SENSOR
• Cosmic radiation (e.g. during flights) may cause pixel defects.

CARRY STRAP
• Once you have attached the carry strap, please make sure that the clips are mounted correctly to prevent
the camera from falling.
• Carry straps are usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the reach of
children. A carry strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
• Use the carry straps only for their intended purpose on a camera or on binoculars. Any other use poses the
risk of injury and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
• Carry straps should also not be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities with a high risk of
getting entangled in the carry strap (e.g. mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
