IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE USE OF GPS
Legal restrictions on use
• The use of GPS and associated technologies may be restricted in some
countries or regions.
• You should therefore contact your travel agent or the embassy of your
destination country for relevant information beforehand.
• The People's Republic of China and Cuba (exceptions: Hong Kong and
Macao) prohibit the use of GPS within their territories and in the
vicinity of their borders.
Violations will be prosecuted!
Notes on function
• Prerequisite for GPS triangulation is “Line of Sight” (LoS) to at least 3
GPS satellites (up to 9 of the total 24 GPS satellites are available from
any point on Earth at all times). The camera should therefore always be
held with the GPS antenna pointing straight upwards.
• Make sure not to cover the GPS antenna with your hand or any object
(specifically metallic objects).
• Perfect signal reception from GPS satellites may be impossible in the
following locations or under the circumstances listed below. Geo-loca-
tion may then be impossible or erratic at best.
– in enclosed spaces
– underground
– under trees
– in a moving vehicle
– in the vicinity of tall buildings or in narrow valleys
– in the vicinity of high-voltage lines
– in tunnels
– in the vicinity of mobile phones
– with an accessory attached to the flash shoe, e.g. a flash unit
We recommend recommissioning the GPS function in a location with
good signal reception if the camera has not been used for an extended
period of time.
Notes on safe use
The electromagnetic radiation generated by the GPS system may affect
electronic instruments and measuring devices. Make sure to disable the
GPS function on board an aircraft before takeoff or landing, in hospitals
and other locations where RF restrictions apply.
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE USE OF WLAN
(LEICA FOTOS)
• Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure security and protect
against disruptions to the systems in place where devices or computer
systems are in use that require more stringent security than WLAN
devices.
• Leica Camera AG shall not accept liability for damages arising from the
use of the camera for purposes other than as a WLAN device.
• It is assumed that the WLAN function will be used in countries where
this camera is sold. There may be a risk of breaching statutory wireless
communication regulations when using the camera in other countries.
Leica Camera AG shall not accept liability for such breaches.
• Please note that there is a risk of unauthorized third party interception
of wirelessly communicated data. We highly recommend that you
activate encryption in the wireless access point settings to ensure data
safety.
• Avoid using the camera in areas where it can be exposed to magnetic
fields, static electricity or other interferences, e.g. near a microwave
oven. RF transmissions may otherwise not reach the camera.
• Using the camera near devices like microwave ovens or wireless
phones that use the 2.4 GHz RF band may negatively affect the
performance of both devices.
• Do not attempt to connect to wireless networks you are not authorized
to use.
• The device will automatically search for wireless networks, once the
WLAN function is enabled. A list, including networks you are not
authorized to access, will be displayed (SSID: Network identifier for a
WLAN network). Do not attempt to connect to such a network, as this
could be construed as unauthorized access.
• We recommend disabling the WLAN function while on an aircraft.
SAFETY REMARKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices that
generate powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic fields
(e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or computer
screens, video game consoles, cell phones, broadcasting equipment).
Their electromagnetic fields can interfere with recordings.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors can
damage the stored picture data or disrupt recording.
• Switch off the camera, remove the battery briefly, replace it and switch
the camera back on in case of a camera malfunction due to the effects
of electromagnetic fields.
• Do not use the camera in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters
or high-voltage power lines. Their electromagnetic fields may interfere
with recordings.
• Always store small parts e.g. the accessory shoe cover as follows:
– out of the reach of children
– in a safe location, where they will not get lost or stolen
• State-of-the-art electronic components are sensitive to static
discharge. You can easily pick up charges of several 10,000 volts by
simply walking on synthetic floor coverings. A static discharge can
occur when you touch the camera and especially if it is placed on a
conductive surface. A static discharge on the camera housing poses
no risk for the electronics. Despite built-in safety circuits, you should
avoid direct contact with external camera contacts like those in the
flash shoe.
• Take care not to soil or scratch the sensor for lens detection in the
bayonet. You must similarly prevent direct contact of the bayonet with
grains of sand or similar particles, as these could cause irreparable
damage. This component must only be cleaned with a dry cloth (in
system cameras).
• Use a cotton or linen cloth instead of a microfiber cloth from an
optician's (synthetic) when cleaning the contacts. Make sure to
discharge any electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating
or water pipe (conductive, grounded material). Dirt deposits and
oxidation on the contacts can be avoided by storing your camera in a
dry location with the lens cap and the flash shoe/viewfinder cap (in
system cameras) attached.
• Only use accessories specified for this model to prevent faults, short
circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers) yourself.
Repairs must be done at authorized service centers only.
• Protect the camera against contact with insect sprays and other
aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol must not
