SAFETY AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices with
powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields (e.g.
radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines, induction ranges,
microwave ovens, television sets or computer monitors, video
game consoles, cell phones, radio equipment).
If you place the camera on or very close to such devices, their
magnetic/electrostatic/electromagnetic fields could interfere
with picture recordings. Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from
speakers or large electric motors, can damage the saved data or
the pictures.
If the camera malfunctions due to the effects of magnetic/
electrostatic/electromagnetic fields, turn it off, remove the
battery, and then turn it on again.
• Protect the camera from contact with insect sprays and other
aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit (cleaning solvent),
thinner.
and alcohol may not be used for cleaning. Certain chemicals and
liquids can damage the camera’s housing or the surface finish.
As rubber and plastics sometimes emit aggressive chemicals,
they should not remain in contact with the camera for a long
time.
• Ensure that sand and dust cannot get into the camera, e.g. on
the beach. Sand and dust can damage the camera and memory
cards. Take particular care when inserting and removing a card.
• Ensure that water cannot get into the camera, e.g. when it is
snowing or raining and on the beach. Moisture can cause
malfunctions and even permanent damage to the camera and
memory cards.
If salt water spray gets onto the camera, wet a soft cloth with
tap water, wring it out thoroughly, and wipe the camera with it.
Then wipe down thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Important:
Use only the accessories specified and described in these
instructions or by Leica Camera AG with the camera.
