STORAGE
• If you are not using the Leica X-E for an extended period of time, we recom-
mend that you:
a. switch it off (see p. 104),
b. remove the memory card (see p. 102), and
c. remove the battery (see p. 100) (after a maximum of 3 days, the time and
date will be lost, see p. 102).
• A lens works like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on the front of
the camera. The camera must therefore never be set aside in strong sunlight
without protection. Use the lens cap and keep the camera in the shade (or
immediately put it away in the case) help to prevent damage to the interior
of the camera.
• You should preferably store the Leica X-E in a closed and padded container
so that nothing can damage it and it is protected from dust.
• Store the Leica X-E in a dry, adequately ventilated place, where neither high
temperatures nor high humidity will occur. When used in humid conditions, it
should be completely cleared of all moisture before being stored away.
• Photo cases that became wet during use should be emptied to prevent dam-
age to your equipment caused by moisture and any leather-tanning residue
released.
• To prevent fungal growth during use in hot, humid tropical climates, the
camera should be exposed to the sun and air as much as possible. Storage
in airtight containers or cases is recommended only if a desiccant such as
silica gel is placed in the container.
• To prevent the formation of fungus, do not store the Leica X-E in a leather
case for extended periods of time.
• Note the serial numbers of your Leica X-E, as it is extremely important in
case of loss.
