Do not open the bottom cover and remove the
memory card or battery while the red LED (1.29) to
the bottom right of the monitor (1.30) is flashing to
indicate that pictures are being recorded and/or
data saved to the card. Otherwise the not yet (com-
pletely) saved picture data may be lost.
As electromagnetic elds, electrostatic charges,
and defects on the camera or the card can lead to
damage or loss of the data on the memory card,
we recommend that you also transfer the data to a
computer and save it there (see p. 158).
For the same reason, it is recommended that the
card is always stored in its antistatic cover.
LEICA M LENSES
Essentially, most Leica M lenses can be used with the
Leica M-E. Details on the small number of exceptions
and restrictions can be found in the following notes.
M lenses can be used regardless of the lens features -
whether they are supplied with or without 6-bit coding
in the bayonet (latest version).
Even without this additional feature, i.e. when using
Leica M lenses without identification, the Leica M-E
will deliver excellent pictures in most situations.
To achieve optimum picture quality in these situa
-
tions, we recommend entering the lens type (see
“Switching lens type identication on/o”, p. 124).

Some examples of the Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4
(not aspherical, manufactured from 1961–1995,
Made in Canada) cannot be fitted to the Leica M-E
or will not focus to infinity. Leica Customer Service
can modify these lenses so that they can be used
on the Leica M-E.

Lenses with retractable tube can only be used with
the tube extended, i.e. their tube must never be
retracted into the Leica M-E. This is not the case
for the current Macro-Elmar-M 90mm f/4, whose
tube does not protrude into the camera body even
when retracted. It can therefore be used without
any restrictions.

Despite the high precision of the view and range-
finder on the Leica M-E, exact focusing cannot
be guaranteed when using 135mm lenses at full
stop due to the very shallow depth of field. Stop-
ping down by at least 2 stops is therefore recom-
mended.
