Before use
■Do a test shot first!
Check first to see if you can take pictures
and record sounds (motion pictures/still
pictures with audio) successfully.
■We will not compensate for failed/
lost recording or for direct/indirect
damage.
Leica will not provide compensation even
if damage is caused by faults with camera
or card.
■Carefully observe copyright laws.
• Recording of pre-recorded tapes or
discs or other published or broadcast
material for purposes other than your
own private use may infringe copyright
laws. Even for the purpose of private
use, recording of certain material may
be restricted.
■Avoid shocks, vibration, and pressure.
• Avoid exposing the camera to strong
vibration or shock; e.g. dropping or
hitting the camera, or sitting down with
the camera in your pocket. (Attach
hand strap to avoid dropping camera.
Hanging any items other than the
supplied hand strap from the camera
can apply pressure against it.)
• Do not press the lens or the LCD
monitor.
■Do not get the camera wet or insert
foreign objects.
This camera is not waterproof.
• Do not expose the camera to water,
rain, or seawater.
(If camera gets wet, wipe with a soft,
dry cloth. Wring cloth thoroughly first if
wet with seawater, etc.)
• Avoid exposing the lens and the
sockets to dust or sand, and do not
allow liquids to leak into gaps around
buttons.
■Avoid condensation caused by sudden
changes in temperature and humidity.
• When moving between places of
different temperature or humidity, place
camera into a plastic bag and allow to
adjust to conditions before use.
• If the lens clouds up, turn off the
camera and leave for about two hours
to allow camera to adjust to conditions.
• If the LCD monitor clouds up, wipe with
a soft, dry cloth.
Read first To prevent damage, malfunctions, and faults
■Lens
• If lens is dirty:
Images may appear slightly white if lens
is dirty (fingerprints, etc.).
Turn the power on, hold the extracted
lens barrel with your fingers, and gently
wipe the lens surface with a soft, dry
cloth.
• Do not leave the lens exposed to direct
sunlight.
Camera ON/OFF switch
Do not touch the lens
cover, as this may
damage lens. Be careful
when removing camera
from bag, etc.
■When using a tripod or monopod
• Do not apply excessive force or use
screws with a damaged thread. (This
may damage the camera, the tripod
thread, or the label.)
• Ensure that the tripod is stable. (Refer
to the tripod instructions.)
■When transporting
Turn off the camera.
Please also refer to ‘Usage cautions and
notes’ (→151).
■Certain pictures cannot be played
back.
• Pictures edited on a computer

(Pictures taken or edited on this camera
may also not be able to be played back
on other cameras)
■Software on the DVD supplied
The following actions are prohibited:
• Making duplicates (copying) for sale
or rent
• Copying onto networks
LCD monitor characteristics
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.
However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.
This is not a malfunction.
The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective pixels with
a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be
recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.
Grip area
Unit temperature
The surface of the camera (especially the grip area, etc.), the battery
and memory card may become warm during use.
This does not cause a problem with the performance or quality of the
camera.

■About the camera’s location name
information
Before using the camera, read “User
License Agreement for Location Name
data”. (→153)
■The GPS function can be used even
when the camera’s power is off.
When [GPS SETTING] is [ON], the GPS
function works to check your current
position periodically even if the camera’s
power is OFF.
• When turning off the camera’s power in
an airplane, hospital or other restricted
area, set [GPS SETTING] to or
[OFF]. (→79)
• When [GPS SETTING] is [ON], power
will drain from the battery even if the
camera’s power is OFF.
■Recording location information
• Recording location names and
landmarks (such as building names)
are current as of February 2010. These
will not be updated.
• Depending on the country or area,
limited location name and landmark
information may be available.
■Positioning
Because the positions of the GPS
satellites are constantly changing,
depending on the recording location
and conditions, it may not be possible
to position such satellites accurately, or
positioning discrepancy may occur.
■When using in another country
• GPS may not work in China or in the
border regions of countries neighboring
China. (Current as of February 2010)
• Some countries or regions may
regulate the use of GPS or related
technology. Because this camera
has a GPS function, before taking
it into another country, check with
the embassy or your travel agency
whether there are any restrictions on
bringing cameras with a GPS function.

Charging the battery
Always charge before first use! (not sold pre-charged)
■About batteries that you can use with this unit
It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the
genuine products are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of
these battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to
meet the requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility
that these battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that
we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a
counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we recommend
that a genuine Leica battery pack is used.
•Use the dedicated charger and battery.
•The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used
safely. The dedicated battery supports this function. The only batteries suitable
for use with this camera are genuine LEICA BP-DC7 batteries (→8). (Batteries
which do not support this function cannot be used). Leica cannot in any way
guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been
manufactured by other companies and are not genuine Leica products.

Charging the battery (Continued) Inserting and removing the card (optional)/
the battery
●The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage.
Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been
used for some time.
●Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.
●Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.
●Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 35 °C (50 °F - 95 °F)).
●Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
●Frequently charging up the battery is not recommended. (Frequently charging up the
battery reduces its maximum usage time and can cause it to expand.)
●Do not disassemble or modify the charger.
●If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan.
Please purchase a new battery.
●The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power is supplied.
The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charger is connected to an
electrical outlet.
●When charging:
• Remove any dirt on connectors of charger and battery with dry cloth.
• Keep at least 1 m (3 feet 4 inches) away from AM radio (may cause radio
interference).
• Noises may be emitted from inside of charger, but this is not a fault.
• After charging, remove the charger from the wall socket, and then remove the battery
from the charger (up to 0.1 W consumed if left in place).
●Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially with damaged terminals) as this
can cause faults.
