Precautions and care instructions
CLEANING THE SENSOR / DUST DETECTION
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 pictures.
You can use the
Dust detection function to check whether or how
many particles are on the sensor. This is much more accurate than
a visual inspection and is therefore a reliable method of assessing
whether cleaning is required.
The camera can be returned to Leica Camera AG Customer Service
(address: see p. 256) for chargeable cleaning of the sensor; this
cleaning is not covered by warranty.
You can also carry out cleaning yourself, using the
Sensor
cleaning function in the menu. This allows access to the sensor by
keeping the shutter open.
DUST DETECTION
1. In the main camera menu, (see p. 154/248) select
Sensor
cleaning (page 4, SETUP section).
The relevant sub-menu appears.
2. Select
Dust detection.
The following message appears:
Attention Please close
the aperture to the largest value (16 or 22), and take a
picture of a homogeneous surface (defocussed)..
3. Press the shutter release button (17).
After a short time, a "picture" appears in the monitor, in
which black pixels represent grains of dust.
Note:
If dust detection is not possible, a corresponding message appears
instead. After a few seconds, the display reverts to that described
under 2. The picture can then be taken again.
CLEANING
1. In the main camera menu, (see p. 154/248) select
Sensor
cleaning (page 4, SETUP section).
The relevant sub-menu appears.
2. Select
Open shutter.
3. Select
Yes. If there is sufficient battery capacity, i.e. at least
60%, the shutter then opens.
The message
Please switch off camera after inspection
appears.
Note:
If the battery capacity is lower, the warning message
Attention
Battery too low for sensor cleaning. appears instead to indicate
that the function is not available, i.e.
Yes cannot be selected.
4. Perform the cleaning. Make sure you follow the instructions
below.
5. When cleaning is complete, turn off the camera. As a
precaution, the shutter is only closed 10s later.
The message
Attention Please stop sensor cleaning
immediately appears.
