IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE USE OF
WLAN/BLUETOOTH®
• Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure security and pro-
tect against disruptions to the systems in place where devices or
computer systems are in use that require more stringent security
than WLAN devices.
• Leica Camera AG shall not accept liability for damages arising
from the use of the camera for purposes other than as a WLAN
device.
• It is assumed that the WLAN function will be used in countries
where this camera is sold. There may be a risk of breaching stat-
utory wireless communication regulations when using the camera
in other countries. Leica Camera AG shall not accept liability for
such breaches.
• Please note that there is a risk of unauthorized third party inter-
ception of wirelessly communicated data. We highly recommend
that you activate encryption in the wireless access point settings
to ensure data safety.
• Avoid using the camera in areas where it can be exposed to mag-
netic fields, static electricity or other interferences, e.g. near a
microwave oven. RF transmissions may otherwise not reach the
camera.
• Using the camera near devices like microwave ovens or wireless
phones that use the 2.4 GHz RF band may negatively affect the
performance of both devices.
• Do not attempt to connect to wireless networks you are not au-
thorized to use.
• The device will automatically search for wireless networks, once
the WLAN function is enabled. A list, including networks you are
not authorized to access, will be displayed (SSID: Network identi-
fier for a WLAN network). Do not attempt to connect to third par-
ty network, as this could be construed as unauthorized access.
• We recommend disabling the WLAN function while on an aircraft.
• The use of the WLAN-RF band between 5150 MHz and 5350 MHz
is permitted only in enclosed spaces.
• Please read the important notes on specific functions of Leica
FOTOS on p. 72.

SAFETY REMARKS ▸ GENERAL INFORMATION

SAFETY REMARKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices that
generate powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic
fields (e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or
computer screens, video game consoles, cell phones, broadcast-
ing equipment). Their electromagnetic fields can interfere with
image capturing.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric mo-
tors can damage the stored data or disrupt shooting.
• Switch off the camera, remove the battery briefly, replace it and
switch the camera back on in case of a camera malfunction due
to the effects of electromagnetic fields.
• Always store small parts e.g. the accessory shoe cover as fol-
lows:
– 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.
• Only use 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.
• 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 (in system cameras) and when inserting
or removing the memory card and rechargeable 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. Attach-
ing 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.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
• New batteries must be charged before initial use to be ready for
activation in the camera. A full charge is recommended, as the
batteries are delivered in an only partially charged state.
• Never throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of leakage or
if you smell 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 – cause
serious or life-threatening injuries.
• Make sure that the power socket is freely accessible at all times.
• Do not attempt to open the battery or the charger. Repairs must
only be carried out by authorized workshops.

SAFETY REMARKS ▸ CHARGER 9
FIRST AID
• Battery fluid may cause blindness if it comes into contact with
the eyes. Rinse the eyes thoroughly with clean water immedi-
ately. Avoid rubbing. Seek medical attention immediately.
• Leaked battery fluid poses an injury hazard when it comes in
contact with clothing or skin. Rinse the affected areas thor-
oughly with clean water.
CHARGER
• Using the charger in the vicinity of broadcasting receivers may in-
terfere with reception. Ensure a distance of at least 1 m between
the charger and the receiver.
• When the charger is in use, it may emit a buzzing sound – that is
normal and not a malfunction.
• Disconnect the charger from the mains when it is not in use, as
it consumes electricity (a very small amount), even if no battery
is inserted.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short-circuit
them.
MEMORY CARD
• Never remove the memory card during a data save or card read-
ing process. The camera must not be switched off or be subject-
ed to impact or vibrations while working.
• Do not open the cover/remove the memory card or the battery
from the camera while the status LED is lit, which indicates mem-
ory 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 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
• 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 strap only for its 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 that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g.
when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
TRIPOD
• When using a tripod, make sure it is standing securely and turn
the camera only by turning the tripod, not the actual camera.
Ensure that the tripod screw is hand-tightened only. Avoid trans-
porting the camera while the tripod is attached. You might injure
yourself or others and the camera could get damaged.

GENERAL INFORMATION ▸ FILM PACKS AND PRINTS
10
FILM PACKS AND PRINTS
• Keep prints out of the reach of children. Please also note the
information contained in the documentation accompanying each
film pack.
BLUETOOTH
• Wirelessly transmitted data (images) may be intercepted by third
parties. The safety of data transmitted via wireless networks can-
not be guaranteed.
• Do not use the device in areas where it may be exposed to mag-
netic fields, static electricity, or radio frequency interference
(RFI).
• Do not use the transmitter in the immediate vicinity of microwave
ovens or other devices, where the reception of wireless signals
may be disrupted by magnetic fields, static electricity, or RFI.
Other wireless devices operating in the 2.4 GHz band in the vicini-
ty of the device may cause mutual interference.
• The Bluetooth transmitter operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency
band. The standard output strength is approx. 3.16 mW.

SAFETY REMARKS ▸ BLUETOOTH 11

12 GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Please read the section about “Care/Storage” for more information
about what to do in case of problems.
CAMERA/LENS
• Make a note of the serial numbers of your camera and lenses, as
this information will be extremely important in case of loss.
• Depending on model, you will find the serial number of your cam-
era on the flash shoe or engraved in the underside of the camera.
• Never store the camera bayonet cover or the lens back cover in a
pants pocket, as they will attract lint and dust, which could then
be accidentally introduced into the camera.
LCD PANEL
• Condensation may form on the LCD panel if the camera is
exposed to great temperature fluctuations. Wipe the screen care-
fully 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 LCD panel warms up.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
• The rechargeable battery must only be charged within a specific
temperature range. See chapter “Technical Data” (p. 82) for
details about operating conditions.
• 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.
• Battery and charger heat up during the charging process. That is
normal and not a malfunction.
• Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries generate power by way of
internal chemical reactions. These reactions are influenced by
ambient temperature and humidity. Do not expose the battery
to extreme temperatures (high or low) for extended periods of
time (e.g. in a parked car in the summer or winter) to ensure a
maximum service life.
• However, every battery has its limits – even in optimal conditions!
After several hundred charging cycles, the operating times will
get significantly shorter.
MEMORY CARD
• The range of available microSD/SDHC/SDXC cards on the mar-
ket is too extensive for Leica Camera AG to test for compatibility
and quality. Generally, any type of memory card may be used
without any damage to the camera or memory card. As some
“no name” cards may not fully comply with the SD/SDHC/SDXC
standards, Leica Camera AG cannot provide any guarantee of
function.
• We recommend formatting the memory card from time to time,
as fragmented residual data from deleted files may block some of
the storage capacity.
• Generally, it is not necessary to format (initialize) memory cards
that have been previously used. Formatting will, however, be
necessary if you insert an unformatted memory card or a card
that was formatted in another device (e.g. a computer) for the
first time.

13
GENERAL INFORMATION
• We recommend backing up your data on a PC, because electro-
magnetic fields, static electricity and any damage to the memory
card or camera defects may result in irretrievable damage or loss
of your data.
• SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards come with a write protec-
tion slider to prevent accidental overwriting. This slider is located
on the non-beveled side of the card. All data on the card is pro-
tected when the slider is set to its lower position, marked LOCK.
• All data stored on the memory card will be lost during formatting.
Formatting will not be prevented by a deletion protection set for
individual shots.
SENSOR
• Any dust or dirt particles stuck to the glass cover of the sensor
may result in noticeable dark stains or specks on the images (in
system cameras). Alternatively, send your camera to the Leica
Customer Care department for sensor cleaning (see p. 86).
This service is not part of the warranty offering and will therefore
incur charges.
DATA
• All data, including personal information, may be changed or de-
leted due to incorrect or accidental operation, static discharge,
accidents, malfunctions, repairs and other measures.
• Please note that Leica Camera AG does NOT accept liability for
direct or consequential damage due to the manipulation or de-
struction of data and personal information.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
Leica is continuously working on the further improvement and opti-
mization of Leica Sofort 2. As digital cameras have many functions
that are controlled electronically, improvements and enhancements
to the functions can be installed on the camera retroactively. Leica
releases so-called firmware updates at irregular intervals. Cameras
are always supplied ex works with the latest firmware installed or
you can download the latest version from our website yourself and
transfer it to your camera.
You will receive a newsletter informing you of the availability of a
new firmware update if you register your camera on the Leica Cam-
era homepage.
Visit the download section or the “Customer Area” for information
about how to register or how to get firmware updates for your Leica
Sofort 2. Additionally, you can find information about changes or
additions to the manual at: https://club.leica-camera.com
