Power supply
The LEICA M6 TTL requires two 1.5 volt sil-
ver oxide button cells or one 3 volt lithium cell
for the exposure meter and to trigger
connected flash units.
If the camera is not in use for longer periods of
time or if you wish to keep a battery with you
as replacement, lithium cells are particularly
suitable, as they can be stored for several
years with no loss of energy.

Loading and replacing the batteries
1. Unscrew the battery compartment cover (1).
2. Wipe any oxidation residue off the cells
using a clean cloth.
3. Insert the cells into the holder in the bat-
tery compartment cover. Pay attention to
the polarity.
4. Now screw the cover together with the cells
back into the camera.
5. To remove the batteries, follow the same
procedure in reverse.
A set of fresh batteries has a life of approxi-
mately 8 hours with the exposure meter
switched on continuously. Assuming 10-
second measurements in normal use, one set
of batteries therefore supplies sufficient energy
for approx. 2900 exposures, i.e. 80 films of 36
exposures each.
