Before use

■

Do a test shot first!

Check first to see if you can take pictures

and record sounds (motion pictures/still

pictures with audio) successfully.

■

We will not compensate for failed/

lost recording or for direct/indirect

damage.

Leica will not provide compensation even

if damage is caused by faults with camera

or card.

■

Carefully observe copyright laws.

• Recording of pre-recorded tapes or

discs or other published or broadcast

material for purposes other than your

own private use may infringe copyright

laws. Even for the purpose of private

use, recording of certain material may

be restricted.

■

Avoid shocks, vibration, and pressure.

• Avoid exposing the camera to strong

vibration or shock; e.g. dropping or

hitting the camera, or sitting down with

the camera in your pocket. (Attach

hand strap to avoid dropping camera.

Hanging any items other than the

supplied hand strap from the camera

can apply pressure against it.)

• Do not press the lens or the LCD

monitor.

■

Do not get the camera wet or insert

foreign objects.

This camera is not waterproof.

• Do not expose the camera to water,

rain, or seawater.

(If camera gets wet, wipe with a soft,

wet with seawater, etc.)

• Avoid exposing the lens and the

sockets to dust or sand, and do not

allow liquids to leak into gaps around

buttons.

■

Avoid condensation caused by sudden

changes in temperature and humidity.

• When moving between places of

different temperature or humidity, place

camera into a plastic bag and allow to

adjust to conditions before use.

• If the lens clouds up, turn off the

camera and leave for about two hours

to allow camera to adjust to conditions.

• If the LCD monitor clouds up, wipe with

a soft, dry cloth.

Read first To prevent damage, malfunctions, and faults

LCD monitor characteristics

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen.

However there may be some dark or bright spots (red, blue or green) on the screen.

This is not a malfunction.

The LCD monitor screen has more than 99.99% effective pixels with

a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. The spots will not be

recorded on pictures on the built-in memory or a card.

Grip area

Unit temperature

The surface of the camera (especially the grip area, etc.), the battery

and memory card may become warm during use.

This does not cause a problem with the performance or quality of the

camera.

About the camera’s location name

information

Before using the camera, read “User

License Agreement for Location Name

data”. (→153)

■

The GPS function can be used even

when the camera’s power is off.

When [GPS SETTING] is [ON], the GPS

function works to check your current

position periodically even if the camera’s

power is OFF.

• When turning off the camera’s power in

an airplane, hospital or other restricted

area, set [GPS SETTING] to

[OFF]. (→79)

• When [GPS SETTING] is [ON], power

will drain from the battery even if the

camera’s power is OFF.

■

Recording location information

• Recording location names and

landmarks (such as building names)

are current as of February 2010. These

will not be updated.

• Depending on the country or area,

limited location name and landmark

information may be available.

■

Positioning

Because the positions of the GPS

satellites are constantly changing,

depending on the recording location

and conditions, it may not be possible

to position such satellites accurately, or

positioning discrepancy may occur.

■

When using in another country

• GPS may not work in China or in the

border regions of countries neighboring

China. (Current as of February 2010)

• Some countries or regions may

regulate the use of GPS or related

technology. Because this camera

has a GPS function, before taking

it into another country, check with

the embassy or your travel agency

whether there are any restrictions on

bringing cameras with a GPS function.

About batteries that you can use with this unit

It has been found that counterfeit battery packs which look very similar to the

genuine products are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of

these battery packs are not adequately protected with internal protection to

meet the requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility

that these battery packs may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that

we are not liable for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a

counterfeit battery pack. To ensure that safe products are used we recommend

that a genuine Leica battery pack is used.

• Use the dedicated charger and battery.

• The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used

safely. The dedicated battery supports this function. The only batteries suitable

for use with this camera are genuine LEICA BP-DC7 batteries (→8). (Batteries

which do not support this function cannot be used). Leica cannot in any way

guarantee the quality, performance or safety of batteries which have been

manufactured by other companies and are not genuine Leica products.

the battery

●

The time required for charging varies depending on conditions of battery usage.

Charging takes longer at high or low temperatures and when the battery has not been

used for some time.

●

Battery will be warm during charging and for some time thereafter.

●

Battery will run out if not used for long periods of time, even after being charged.

●

Charge the battery with the charger indoors (10 °C - 35 °C (50 °F - 95 °F)).

Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.

Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the

resulting heat generated.

●

Frequently charging up the battery is not recommended. (Frequently charging up the

battery reduces its maximum usage time and can cause it to expand.)

●

Do not disassemble or modify the charger.

●

If available battery power is significantly reduced, battery is reaching end of lifespan.

Please purchase a new battery.

●

The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power is supplied.

The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charger is connected to an

electrical outlet.

●

When charging:

• Remove any dirt on connectors of charger and battery with dry cloth.

• Keep at least 1 m (3 feet 4 inches) away from AM radio (may cause radio

interference).

• Noises may be emitted from inside of charger, but this is not a fault.

• After charging, remove the charger from the wall socket, and then remove the battery

from the charger (up to 0.1 W consumed if left in place).

●

Do not use a damaged or dented battery (especially with damaged terminals) as this

can cause faults.

Histogram

Displays distribution of brightness in the picture

– e.g. if the graph peaks at the right, this means there are

several bright areas in the picture. (Guide) A peak in the center

represents correct brightness (correct exposure). This can be

used as a reference for exposure correction (→49), etc.

• Histogram from time of recording is different to Histogram

in playback and displayed in orange, when recording with

flash or in dark locations. Also, Histogram may differ from

Histograms made with image editing software.

●

Do not put your hands over the light-emitting area of the flash (→9) or look at it

from close range (a few centimeters away).

Do not use the flash at close distances to other subjects (heat/light may damage subject).

●

Flash settings may be changed when changing Recording Mode.

●

Scene Mode flash settings are restored to default when Scene Mode is changed.

●

Edges of picture may become slightly dark if using flash at short distances with zoom

settings close to max. wide angle. This may be remedied by using zoom settings with

longer focal lengths.

●

If flash is to be emitted, flash type marks (e.g. ) will turn red when shutter button is

pressed halfway.

●

No pictures may be taken if these marks (e.g. ) are flashing (flash is charging).

●

Insufficient flash reach may be due to inadequately set exposure or White Balance.

●

Flash effect may not be fully achieved with high shutter speeds.

●

Flash charging may take time if battery is low, or if using flash repeatedly.

When you want to enlarge the subject, setting to [AF MACRO] (

) enables you to take

pictures at an even closer distance than the normal focus range (up to 3 cm (0.10 feet) for

max. W).

●

[MACRO ZOOM] setting cannot be used while recording in [MULTI ASPECT] Mode.

●

When [AF TRACKING] is set, zoom macro is cancelled.

●

Using a tripod and [SELFTIMER] is recommended. Also, when recording a subject that

is close to the camera, setting [FLASH] to [FORCED FLASH OFF] is recommended.

●

Moving the camera after aligning the focus is likely to result in poorly focused pictures if

the subject is close to the camera, due to the margin for focus alignment being severely

reduced.

Taking pictures at even closer range [MACRO ZOOM]

To take even larger images of the subject, setting to [MACRO ZOOM] enables the subject

to appear even larger than when using [AF MACRO].

■

How the Face Recognition function works

During recording

• The camera recognizes a registered face and adjusts focus

and exposure

• When registered faces that have set names are recognized,

the names are displayed (up to 3 people)

• When [AUTO REGISTRATION] is [ON], faces that have

been recorded many times are recognized and the

registration screen is displayed

During playback

• The name and age are displayed (if information is registered)

• During recording, the names that have been set for the recognized faces are

displayed (up to 3 people)

• Only pictures of the selected registered people are played back ([CATEGORY PLAY])

●

[AF MODE] is fixed to (Face Detection).

●

With serial (continuous) exposures, recording information relating to Face Recognition

is put only on the first picture.

●

If you press the shutter button halfway, then point the camera at a different subject and

record, recording information for a different person may be put on the picture.

●

Face Recognition does not work in the following cases:

[CLIPBOARD] Mode, motion picture recording, Scene Modes [TRANSFORM],

[PANORAMA ASSIST], [NIGHT SCENERY], [FOOD], [HI-SPEED BURST], [FLASH

BURST], [STARRY SKY], [FIREWORKS], [AERIAL PHOTO], [FILM GRAIN]

●

Face Recognition searches for faces similar to those registered, but there is no

guarantee it will always recognize these faces.

●

Face Recognition works by looking at certain facial characteristics and as a result takes

longer than ordinary Face Detection.

●

Even if Face Recognition information is registered, pictures recorded when the name is

[OFF] are not categorized for Face Recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].

●

Even if Face Recognition information is changed (→75), Face Recognition

information for previously recorded pictures is not changed.

For example, if a name is changed, pictures recorded before the change are not

categorized for Face Recognition in [CATEGORY PLAY].

●

To change name information for pictures already recorded, perform a [REPLACE] (→126)

in [FACE REC EDIT].

Registering face pictures

Up to 6 people’s face pictures can be registered along with such information as name and

birth date.

You can facilitate face recognition the same way you register faces: for example, register

multiple face pictures of the same person (up to 3 pictures in one registration).

■

Recording tips when registering face pictures

• Make sure the subject’s eyes are open and mouth closed; have the subject face the

camera directly, and make sure the outline of the face, the eyes and eyebrows are

not hidden by hair.

• Make sure there are no heavy shadows on the face. (During registration, the flash is

not used).

Recording the place of recording with GPS

Recording Mode:

∗

Record only (Cannot set)

Before use, read “About GPS” (→8) and “User License Agreement for Location Name

data” (→153).

What is GPS?

GPS is an abbreviation for Global Positioning System, which enables people to find their locations

using GPS satellites.

Receiving signals that include orbit information and time information from multiple satellites to

calculate one's current location is referred to as “Positioning”.

This camera can perform positioning when it receives signals from three or more GPS satellites.

Important:

The use of GPS within the People’s Republic of China and near its borders is prohibited

by the country’s legislature (with the exception of Hong Kong and Macao). Violations

will be persecuted by PRC authorities! The camera’s GPS functions are therefore

automatically disabled in these areas.

■

GPS functions

When GPS is used, the camera performs the following functions:

• Records location name information and the latitude and longitude for the positioned location on

the recorded pictures

• Corrects automatically to the current time

∗

• Corrects the time to the local time after moving to a country or region in a different time zone

∗

When [AUTO CLOCK SET] or [WORLD TIME] is set to [AUTO]

Receiving signals from GPS satellites

●

Set [GPS SETTING] to [ON] or (→79)

●

When using the GPS, we recommend holding the camera still for a while with the

GPS antenna facing upward in an outdoor location where you can see the entire sky.

●

Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS

satellites change over time, it may take longer depending on the recording location

and environment.

●

In the following types of locations, it may not be possible to correctly receive the

signals from the GPS satellites. In such cases, positioning may not be possible, or

significant positioning discrepancy may occur.

• Indoors • Near high-voltage power lines

• Underground or underwater

• In tunnels • In forests

• Near 1.5 GHz mobile phones, etc. • Near buildings or in valleys

●

Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands or anything else.

●

If you are carrying the camera during positioning,

do not carry it in a metal carrier or similar container.

Positioning cannot be performed when the camera

is covered by a material such as metal.

■

Using in locations such as airplanes or

hospitals

When [GPS SETTING] is set to [ON], the GPS function operates even when the

camera's power is off.

When turning off the camera’s power in an airplane, hospital or other restricted area,

Slower shutter speeds allow for brighter pictures but increase the risk of camera shake

and moving subjects being rendered increasingly unsharp, so we recommend using a

tripod and the self-timer.

●

As still pictures may become dark when using faster speeds such as 1/250 s, we

recommend that still pictures are taken in bright locations ( flashes red when shutter

button is half-pressed if still picture will be dark).

Positioning takes time.

●

When using the camera for the first time or after not using it for a while, positioning may take several

minutes.

●

Positioning usually takes less than two minutes, but because the positions of the GPS satellites

change, it may take longer depending on the recording location and environment.

●

Positioning will take time in environments where it is difficult to receive the signals from the GPS

satellites. (→78)

The location name information is different from the recording location.

●

Immediately after the camera’s power is turned on or when the GPS icon is something other than

Q&A Troubleshooting (Continued)

Recording (continued)

Pictures appear dark or have poor coloring.

●

Colors may appear unnatural due to the effects of light source.

→ Use [WHITE BALANCE] to adjust the coloring. (→91)

Brightness or coloring of recorded picture different from real life.

●

Taking pictures under fluorescent lighting may require a faster shutter speed and result in slightly

changed brightness or coloring, but this is not a fault.

Red banding may appear on the LCD monitor or part or the entire screen

may have a reddish tint, when recording or pressing the shutter button

halfway.

●

This is a characteristic of CCD and may appear if subject contains brighter areas.

Some blurring may occur around these areas, but this is not a fault. This will be

recorded in motion pictures, but not in still pictures.

●

We recommend keeping the screen away from strong light sources such as sunlight when taking

pictures.

Motion picture recording stops midway.

●

With some cards, access display may appear briefly after recording, and recording may end midway.

●

Using a card of SD speed ‘Class 6’

∗

or above is recommended for recording motion pictures.

∗

The SD speed class is a speed rating for continuous writing.

●

If recording stops even when using the card above, the data writing speed is low. We recommend

backing up the data on the memory card and reformatting it (→26).

The subject cannot be locked. (AF track fails)

●

If the subject has different colors as the periphery, set the AF area to those colors specific to the

subject by aligning that area with the AF area. (→93)

back to camera, if computer and camera dates differ.)

Depending on the subject, an interference fringe may appear on the screen.

●

This is called moiré. This is not a malfunction.

White round spots like soap bubbles appear on the recorded picture.

●

If you take a picture with the flash in a dark place or indoors, white round spots may

appear on the picture caused by the flash reflecting particles of dust in the air. This is

not a fault. A characteristic of this is that the number of round spots and their position

differ in every picture.

[THUMBNAIL IS DISPLAYED] is shown on the screen.

●

The pictures may have been recorded on another device. If so, they may be displayed with poor

picture quality.

Usage cautions and notes (Continued)

Memory cards

●

To prevent damage to cards and data

• Avoid high temperatures, direct sunlight, electromagnetic waves, and static electricity.

• Do not bend, drop, or expose to strong impacts.

• Do not touch connectors on reverse of card or allow them to become dirty or wet.

●

When disposing of/transferring memory cards

• If using the ‘format’ or ‘delete’ functions on your camera or computer, this only changes the file

management information, and does not completely delete the data from within the memory card.

When disposing of or transferring your memory cards, we recommend physically destroying the

memory card itself, or using commercially available computer data erasing software to completely

delete the data from the card. Data within memory cards should be managed responsibly.

LCD Monitor

●

Do not exert pressure on the LCD monitor. This may cause uneven display and damage the monitor.

●

In cold climates or other situations when the camera becomes cold, the LCD monitor may be slightly

less responsive than normal immediately after startup. Normal brightness will return once the

internal components have warmed up.

Personal Information

If names or birthdays are set in [BABY] Mode or in the [FACE RECOG.] function,

personal information will be included in the camera and the pictures that have been taken.

●

Disclaimer

• Data containing personal information can be altered or lost due to malfunction, static electricity,

accidents, breakdowns, repairs, or other operations.

Leica will not be liable for any damage that occurs, direct or indirect, as a result of the alteration or

loss of data containing personal information.

●

When ordering repairs or transferring/disposing of the camera

• To protect your personal information, please reset the settings. (→24)

• If any pictures are contained in the built-in memory, copy (→127) them to a memory card if

necessary, and then format (→26) the built-in memory.

• Remove the memory card from the camera.

• When ordering repairs, the built-in memory and other settings may be returned to the initial

purchase state.

• If the above operations cannot be performed because of a camera malfunction, consult your Leica

dealer or the nearest Leica Customer Service center.

When transferring or disposing of your memory card, see ‘When disposing of/transferring

memory cards’ in the previous section.
