Precautions and care instructions

PRECAUTIONS AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Do not use your Leica S in the immediate vicinity of devices with powerful

magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic ﬁelds (e.g. induction ovens,

microwave ovens, television sets or computer monitors, video game

consoles, cell phones, radio equipment).

• If you place the Leica S on or very close to a television set, its mag-

netic ﬁeld could interfere with picture recordings.

• The same applies for use in the vicinity of cell phones.

• Strong magnetic ﬁelds, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors,

can damage the stored data or the pictures.

• If the Leica S malfunctions due to the eﬀects of electromagnetic ﬁelds

then turn the camera oﬀ, remove the battery, and then turn the cam-

era on again after reinserting the battery. Do not use the Leica S in the

immediate vicinity of radio transmitters or high-voltage power lines.

• Their magnetic ﬁelds can also interfere with picture recordings. Protect

the Leica S from contact with insect sprays and other aggressive

chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol may not be used for

cleaning.

• Certain chemicals and liquids can damage the housing of the Leica S

or the surface coating.

• As rubber and plastics sometimes emit aggressive chemicals, they

should not remain in contact with the Leica S for a long time. The

Leica S is protected against moisture and dust to a certain extent by a

number of design measures. Ensure nevertheless that neither water,

sand nor dust can get into the camera, e.g. when it is snowing or

raining or on the beach.

• Sand and dust can damage the camera and memory cards. Take

particular care when changing lenses and when inserting and removing

the cards. If moisture does get in, it can cause malfunctions and even

permanent damage to the Leica S and the memory cards. If salt water

spray gets onto the Leica S, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it

out thoroughly and wipe the camera with it. Then wipe down thor-

oughly with a dry cloth.

MONITOR AND TOP PANEL DISPLAY

• If the Leica S is exposed to signiﬁcant temperature ﬂuctuations, con-

densation can form on the displays. Wipe it oﬀ carefully with a soft dry

cloth.

• If the Leica S is very cold when it is turned on, the displays may at ﬁrst

appear darker than usual. As soon as they warm up, they will reach

their normal level of brightness. The monitor is manufactured using a

high-precision process. This ensures that, of the total of around

921,600 pixels, more than 99.995% work correctly and only 0.005%

remain dark or are always bright. However, this is not a malfunction

and it does not impair the reproduction of the picture.

SENSOR

Cosmic radiation (e.g. on ﬂights) can cause pixel defects.

CONDENSATION

If condensation has formed on or in the Leica S, you should turn it oﬀ

and leave it to stand at room temperature for around an hour. Once the

camera temperature has adjusted to room temperature, the condensa-

tion will disappear by itself.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

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

you should take care to keep the equipment clean.

FOR THE CAMERA

• Clean the Leica S only 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 lenses 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. Take care not

to damage the shutter blades and mirror surface, e.g. 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 outside of the lens should be removed only with a soft-

haired brush or a soft, clean, dry microﬁber cloth. This cloth is

included in the scope of supply of this lens. If stains and ﬁnger have to

be removed, use such a cloth and clean carefully with a circular move-

ment starting at the center of the lens and working towards the edge.

The Leica Aquadura coating allows simple cleaning. Do not apply any

high pressure in order to maintain this property for as long as possible.

On no account may acetone be used for cleaning.

• For optimum front lens protection in unfavorable photographic condi-

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

ever, 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 unintentional ﬁngerprints and the rain.

FOR THE BATTERY

Rechargeable lithium ion batteries generate power through internal chem-

ical reactions. These reactions are also inﬂuenced by the ambient tem-

perature and humidity. Very high and low temperatures shorten the

operating time and service life of the batteries.

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

longer period of time. Otherwise after several weeks the battery could

undergo deep discharge, i.e. the voltage is sharply reduced, as the

Leica S still consumes a small amount of current (e.g. for saving date

and time) even when it is turned oﬀ.

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

condition, i.e. not completely discharged or fully charged (in the corre-

sponding display in the top panel display). For very long storage peri-

ods, you should charge the battery for approx. 15 minutes roughly

twice a year to avoid a deep discharge.

• Always ensure that the battery contacts are clean and freely accessi-

ble. Whilst 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 a limited service life.

• Take damaged batteries to a collection point to ensure correct recy-

cling.

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