Alternatively, send your camera to the Leica Customer Care
department for sensor cleaning. This service is not part of the
warranty offering and will therefore incur charges. Use the Open
Shutter menu function if you feel confident that you can do the
cleaning yourself. The function will keep the shutter open and allow
access to the sensor.

capacity for the shutter to open
Note
A warning message Battery too low for sensor cleaning will appear if

Important
• Leica Camera AG will not accept any responsibility for damages
caused by the user when cleaning the sensor.
• Do not attempt to physically blow dust particles off the cover
glass of the sensor. The smallest droplets of saliva can cause
stains that will be difficult to remove.
• Do not use high pressure compressed air cleaners as they may
also cause damage.
• Avoid touching the sensor surface with any hard objects during
inspection and cleaning.
