CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• As any soiling also represents a growth medium for microorganisms,

you should take care to keep the equipment clean.

FOR THE CAMERA

• Only clean the Leica S with a soft, dry cloth. Stubborn dirt should ﬁrst

of all be covered with a well-thinned cleaning agent and then wiped off

with a dry cloth.

• To remove stains and ﬁngerprints, the camera and lens should be wiped

with a clean lint-free cloth. Tougher dirt in hard to reach corners of the

camera body can be removed with a small brush. Be careful not to dam-

age the shutter blades and mirror surface, for instance with the shaft of

the brush.

• All mechanically operated bearings and sliding surfaces on your Leica S

are lubricated. Please remember this if you will not be using the camera

for a long period of time. To prevent the lubrication points becoming

gummed up, the camera shutter should be released a number of times

every three months. It is also recommended that you repeatedly move

and use all other controls.

FOR LENSES

• Dust on the outer lenses should be removed with a soft hair brush or

carefully using a clean, dry, soft microﬁber cloth. To remove marks or

ﬁngerprints, wipe the lens carefully with such a cloth starting in the

middle and working towards the edge in a circular motion. The Leica

Aquadura® coating makes it easy to clean. Do not exert excessive

pressure, to maintain this property for as long as possible. Never use

acetone for cleaning.

• For optimum front lens protection in unfavorable photographic condi-

tions (e.g. sand, salt water spray), use transparent UVa ﬁlters. However,

you should bear in mind that, like all ﬁlters, they can cause unwanted

reﬂections in certain backlight situations and with high contrasts. The

generally recommended lens hood also protects the lens from uninten-

tional ﬁngerprints and the rain.

FOR THE BATTERY

Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through internal

chemical reactions. These reactions are also inﬂuenced by the external

temperature and humidity. Very high or low temperatures reduce the life

of the battery.

• Always remove the battery if you will not be using the Leica S for a

long period of time. Otherwise, after several weeks the battery could

become totally discharged, i.e. the voltage is signiﬁcantly reduced, as

the Leica S uses a low no-load current (to save the date and time) even

when it is turned off.

• Lithium ion batteries should only be stored in a partially charged condi-

tion, i.e. not completely discharged or fully charged (indicated in the top

panel display (1.12)), If stored for very long periods, it should be charged

up and discharged again around once a year.

• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely accessible.

While lithium ion batteries are proof against short circuits, they should

still be protected against contact with metal objects such as paper clips

or jewelry. A short-circuited battery can get very hot and cause severe

burns.

• If a battery is dropped, check the casing and the contacts immediately

for any damage. Using a damaged battery can damage the Leica S.

• Batteries have only a limited service life.

• Take damaged batteries to a collection point to ensure correct recycling.

• Never throw batteries into a ﬁre as this can cause them to explode.

FOR THE CHARGER

• If the charger is used in the vicinity of radio receivers, it can interfere

with the reception; make sure there is a distance of at least 1m between

the devices.

• When the charger is in use, it can make a noise (buzzing) – this is quite

normal and is not a malfunction.

• When it is not in use, disconnect the charger from the mains as other-

wise it uses a certain (very small) amount of power even when no battery

is inserted in it.

• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit them.

FOR MEMORY CARDS

• While a picture is being stored or the memory card is being read, it

should not be removed, nor should the Leica S be turned off or exposed

to vibrations.

• For safety, memory cards should only ever be stored in the supplied

antistatic container.

• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high tempera-

tures, direct sunlight, magnetic ﬁelds or static discharge.

• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this can damage them and result

in loss of the stored data.

• Always remove the memory cards if you will not be using the Leica S for

a long period of time.

• Do not touch the terminals on the memory card and keep them free of

dirt, dust and moisture.

• It is recommended that memory cards be reformatted from time to

time, as fragmentation occurs when deleting, which can block some of

the memory capacity.
