DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT

therefore not be disposed of in general household waste. Instead it
should be disposed of at a recycling collection point provided by the local
authority. This costs you nothing. If the device itself contains replaceable
(rechargeable) batteries, these must be removed first and, if necessary,
also be disposed of in line with the relevant regulations. Further
information on this issue is available from your local authority, your local
waste disposal company, or in the store where you purchased this
device.
The production date of your product can be found on the stickers in the
warranty card or on the packaging.
The notation is: Year(XXXX).Month(XX).Day(XX).

Important:
The use of lenses with a Leica M bayonet fitting from other suppliers is at
the owner's risk, i.e. Leica Camera AG accepts no liability for any damage
caused to the camera and the lens as a result.

14
ATTACHING THE ADAPTER TO THE CAMERA /
THE LENS TO THE ADAPTER
1. The adapter is attached to and detached from the camera in the
same way as a lens.
2. The Leica M lens is attached to and detached from the adapter in
the same way as it would be to the body of the Leica M. For further
details, refer to the relevant camera and lens manuals.
Follow the instructions in reverse to detach.
Note:
• When using the adapter with the built-in flash unit, the AF auxiliary
light on the camera is not activated. The same applies to the auxiliary
lights on external flash units.
FUNCTIONS
The Leica M adapter L has interfaces on both sides for the relevant
camera system. If the Leica M lens used has 6-bit coding, it transmits
lens data to the camera.

15
A. Focusing
Only manual focusing is available with Leica M lenses.
Note:
The distances set on the lens are slightly shorter when using the adapter
than when used directly on Leica M cameras. For example, sharp
depiction of a distant subject is achieved immediately before the
mechanical infinity stop on the adjusting dial. This is for technical
reasons and it not a fault.
B. Exposure metering
All three metering methods - multiple field, center weighted and spot
- are available.
C. Exposure modes
Only aperture priority (A) and manual control (M) are available, i.e.
automatic program (P), shutter speed priority (T), and the subject
programs are not available. If one of these modes is selected, the camera
automatically switches to aperture priority mode when the adapter is
attached. The mode displayed in the monitor also changes to A. F 0.0 is
displayed as the aperture value.
