Owner's Manual

• When a battery is accidentally dropped, make sure to check the housing and the contacts immediately for any damage.
A damaged battery can damage the camera.
• The battery must be removed from the camera or charger and must be replaced immediately in case of a strange smell,
discoloration, deformation, overheating or leakage. Continued use of the battery may result in overheating, which can
cause fire and/or explosion!
• Never throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of leakage or if you smell burning. Leaked fluid can catch fire!
• The use of other chargers not approved by Leica Camera AG can cause damage to the batteries – and in extreme cases
– cause serious or life-threatening injuries.
• Make sure that the power socket is freely accessible at all times.
• The in-car charging cable must never be connected while the charger is connected to mains electricity.
• Do not attempt to open the battery or the charger. Repairs must only be carried out by authorized service centers.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause suffocation when swallowed.
CHARGER
• Using the charger in the vicinity of broadcasting receivers may interfere with reception. Ensure a distance of at least
1m (3 ft) between the charger and the receiver.
• When the charger is in use, it may emit a buzzing sound – this is normal and not a malfunction.
• Disconnect the charger from the mains when it is not in use, as it consumes electricity (a very small amount), even if no
battery is inserted.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit them.
MEMORY CARD
• Never remove the memory card during a datasave or card reading process. The camera must not be switched off or be
subjected to impact or vibrations while working.
• Do not open the compartment or remove the memory card or battery while the status LED is flashing to indicate
camera memory access. Data on the card may otherwise be destroyed and camera malfunctions may occur.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this will cause damage and result in the loss of stored data.
• Do not touch the connections on the reverse of the memory card and keep them clean and dry.
• Keep memory cards out of the reach of children. Swallowing a memory card may cause suffocation.
SENSOR
• Cosmic radiation (e.g. during flights) may cause pixel defects.
CARRY STRAP
• Once you have attached the carry strap, please make sure that the clips are mounted correctly to prevent the camera from falling.
• Carry straps are usually made of very robust material. You should therefore keep it out of the reach of children. A carry
strap is not a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
• Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera or on binoculars. Any other use poses the risk of injury
and may possibly result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not permitted.
• Carry straps should also not be used for cameras/binoculars during sports activities that pose a risk of entanglement
(e.g. when mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
TRIPOD
• When using a tripod, make sure it is standing securely and turn the camera only by turning the tripod, not the actual camera.
• Ensure that the tripod screw is hand-tightened only.
• Avoid transporting the camera while the tripod is attached. You might injure yourself or others and the camera could
get damaged.
FLASH
• The use of incompatible flash units with your LeicaSL2-S may result in irreparable damage to the
camera and/or the flash unit.
