Leica Digital-Modul-R User Manual

76 / Detailed guide / Preparation
• Always attach the cover immediately after removing
the digital back from the camera and only remove it
to attach it to the camera. This is also necessary to
protect the color filter against fading due to the long-
term effects of bright light or UV radiation.
• Ensure that the cover is also free of dust.
• However, if the sensor should get dirty, i.e. in need of
cleaning, to avoid damage you should always follow
the instructions in the section “Cleaning the sensor”,
see right.
8. Close the camera by pressing on the digital back. It
locks automatically – just like the camera’s back.
To remove the digital rear panel, follow this procedure
in reverse order.
Attaching the power unit
1. Place the power unit (D) straight onto the camera
and digital back from below and slide it upwards so
that its rear edge surrounds the digital back.
2. Secure the connection by tightening the fastening
screw (clockwise) using the toggle (1.40).
Cleaning the sensor
If any dust or dirt particles should adhere to the sensor
cover glass, depending on the size of the particles this
can be identified by dark spots or marks on the pic-
tures.
The Digital-Modul-R can be sent in to the Leica Camera
AG Customer Service for cleaning of the sensor at a fee;
this cleaning is not part of the warranty services. If you
prefer to carry out the cleaning yourself, you should
always follow the instructions below.
Important: Leica Camera AG accepts no liability for
damage caused by the user when cleaning the sensor.
As far as possible, the sensor should be inspected and
cleaned in a dust-free environment to prevent further
soiling.
An 8x or 10x magnifying glass is very useful for the
inspection before and after cleaning.
Attention:
• Do not attempt to blow dust particles off the sensor
cover glass using your mouth; even tiny droplets of
saliva can cause marks that are difficult to remove.
• Compressed air cleaners with high gas pressure may
not be used as they can also cause damage.
• Take care to avoid touching the sensor surface with
any hard objects during inspection and cleaning.
Lightly adhering dust can be blown off the sensor cover
glass using clean and, if necessary ionized gases such
as air or nitrogen. It makes sense to use a (rubber) bel-
lows with no brush for this purpose. Special, low pres-
sure cleaning sprays such as “Tetenal Antidust Profes-
sional” can also be used in line with their specified
usage.
