■
Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which may damage the lens,
monitor, viewfinder, or camera body.
This may also cause the camera to malfunction or prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Sitting down with the camera in your pants pocket or forcing it into a full bag
• Adding accessories to the camera strap
• Exerting excessive force on the lens or monitor
The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can
come into contact with the camera.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which present a risk that sand,
water, or foreign material may enter the camera through the lens or openings around
buttons. Be especially careful because these conditions may damage the camera, and
such damage may not be repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be exposed to water
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, is fogged up)
●
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of
temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens, monitor, or
viewfinder dirty, cause mold, or damage the camera.
●
If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours before using
it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging will clear
naturally.

When a nearby subject is to be recorded
• Using a tripod and [Self Timer] (→127) is recommended.
• The effective focusing range (depth of field) is significantly shallower. Therefore, if the distance
between the camera and the subject is changed after focusing on the subject, it may become
difficult to focus on it again.
• Resolution may be slightly reduced around the edges of the picture. This is not a malfunction.

Setting the White Balance
Recording modes:
In digital photography, white balance ensures neutral, i.e. natural color reproduction in
any light. White balance is based on the camera being preset to reproduce a particular
color as white.
You can choose between automatic white balance, various presets, one custom setting
based on specific measurements, and a direct setting of the color temperature.

[AWBc]
Automatic setting in accordance with the light source.
• Under a light source (such as an incandescent light) that produces reddish
pictures:
– [AWB] gives higher priority to what is seen by the eye and retains the
reddish hue.
– [AWBc] gives higher priority to the original colors of the subject and
reduces the reddish hue.
When the picture is taken under bright ambient light, the setting sometimes
delivers similar colors as those of the [AWB] setting.
• Adjust the colors of the pictures to similar colors when [AWB] or [AWBc] is
set under a light source that does not produce reddish pictures.

The camera’s setup for recording in [Post Focus]
• Since recording is performed in the same resolution as 4K photos, certain limitations
apply to recording functions and menu settings. For details, refer to “The camera’s
setup for the 4K Photo function” (→117).
• In addition to the limitations of the 4K Photo function, the following limitations apply to
[Post Focus] recording:
– [AF Mode] and [AFS/AFF/AFC] cannot be set.
– Manual Focus cannot be used.
– The following [Custom] menu items cannot be set:
[Shutter AF]
– Videos cannot be recorded.
– [Digital Zoom] is not available.
●
During recording, the recorded area is slightly smaller than usual.
●
The [Post Focus] function is disabled when using the following settings:
• [Clear in Backlight], [Glistening Water], [Artistic Nightscape], [Glittering Illuminations], [Handheld

• When using [Time Lapse Shot]
• When using [Stop Motion Animation]
●
When selecting the focus and saving pictures, you cannot select and save the picture from a TV
screen even if the camera is connected to a TV through an HDMI micro cable.
●
In the following cases, [Focus Stacking] may produce an unnatural picture:
• If the subject is in motion
• If there are large differences in distance to the subject
• If there is significant blurring (recording with a larger aperture might make the picture less
unnatural)
●
During focus stacking, auto compensation is applied to deviations among pictures due to camera
shake. In such cases, the recorded area will be slightly smaller than at the time of focus stacking.
●
Only pictures taken using [Post Focus] on this camera are eligible for [Focus Stacking].

When the frame rate is set to [H] (when [AFS/AFF/AFC] is set to [AFF] or [AFC]), [M], or [L], the
exposure and White Balance are adjusted individually for each picture.
●
It may take a while to store pictures that were taken using the continuous function. If you

The flash is fired every time regardless of the recording
conditions.
• Use these modes when your subject is back-lit or under
fluorescent light.
: [Slow Sync.]
: [Slow Sync./Red-Eye]
When taking pictures of dark subjects, this feature will
use slower shutter speeds when the flash is fired, so dark
backgrounds will appear brighter.
• Ideal for taking pictures of people against a nightscape.
• Using a slower speed can cause motion blur. We
recommend using a tripod.
The flash is fired twice. The interval between the first and second flash is longer
when [ ] or [ ] is set. The subject should not move until the second flash is
fired.
• The red-eye reduction effect varies depending on the subject and is affected by factors
such as distance from the subject and whether the subject is looking at the camera
during the preliminary flash. In some cases, red-eye reduction may be negligible.

Avoid doing the following, as the heat or light could cause deformation or discoloration.
• Using the flash at close range
• Covering the flash with your hand as it is firing
• Closing the flash as it is firing
●
Do not close the flash immediately after the preliminary flash is fired prior to taking pictures for
Forced ON/Red-Eye Reduction and other flash settings. If you close the flash immediately, it will

Setting the file format/compression rate ([Quality])
Recording modes:
This function allows you to select the file format, e. g. JPEG and/or RAW, and in the
case of JPEG, the compression rate. RAW is especially suited for the subsequent
comprehensive editing of the image data using respective software, which is available
after registering your camera on the Leica Camera AG homepage (→262). The JPEG
setting [ ] delivers higher image quality than [ ] due to its lower compression rate,
while the latter has the advantage of smaller files.
Set the compression rate used for storing pictures.

Q&A Troubleshooting
■
Recording
Striping or flicker may appear under lighting such as fluorescent lighting and LED lighting
fixture.
• This is characteristic of MOS-type sensors like the one in this camera. This is
not a malfunction.
• If you are taking pictures using the electronic shutter, the striping may be
reduced by setting a slower shutter speed. (→58)
• When noticeable flicker or striping is seen under lighting such as a fluorescent
or LED lighting fixture in video recording mode, you can reduce it by setting
up [Flkr Decrease] (→180) and fixing the shutter speed. It is possible to select
a shutter speed from [1/50], [1/60], [1/100], or [1/120]. You can set the shutter
speed manually in the Creative Video Mode. (→77)
Cannot record pictures. The shutter will not operate immediately when the shutter button is
pressed.
• When [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [FOCUS], the camera will not record until proper focusing is
achieved. (→185)
Recorded pictures look white.
• Lens is dirty (fingerprints, etc.).
→ Turn the camera on to extract the lens barrel, and clean the front lens surface with a soft, dry
cloth.
Recorded pictures are too bright/too dark.
• AE Lock (→99) is set inappropriately.
Some pictures are taken when I press the shutter button just once.
• Drive Mode is set to other than [Single]. (→124)
• Bracket recording is set. (→128)
Correct focusing is not achieved.
• The subject is outside the focusing range.
• [Focus/Release Priority] is set to [RELEASE]. (→185)

Others
Q&A Troubleshooting
Recorded pictures appear ‘grainy’, or there is interference.
• We recommend trying the following methods.
→ Use a lower ISO sensitivity (→101).
→ Either adjust [Noise Reduction] of [Photo Style] to a higher setting or set each item other than
[Noise Reduction] to a lower setting. (→169)
→ Set [Long Shtr NR] to [ON]. (→175)
The subject appears skewed in pictures.
• If you take a picture of a moving subject in the electronic shutter mode, video recording mode,
or 4K photo recording mode, the subject in the picture may be skewed in some cases. This is
characteristic of MOS-type sensors like the one in this camera. This is not a malfunction.
Brightness or coloring of the recorded picture are different from real life.
• When recording under fluorescent or LED lighting fixture etc., increasing the shutter speed may
introduce slight changes to brightness and color. These are a result of the characteristics of the
light source and do not indicate a malfunction.
• When recording subjects in extremely bright locations or recording under fluorescent lighting, LED
lighting fixture, mercury lamp, sodium lighting etc., the colors and screen brightness may change or
horizontal striping may appear on the screen.
4K photo recording stops before finishing.
• When the ambient temperature is high or recording of the 4K Photo function is performed
continuously, the camera may display [

Q&A Troubleshooting
■
Videos
Videos cannot be recorded.
• When a large capacity card is used, you may not be able to take a picture for a while after you turn
on the camera.
Video recording stops midway.
• When the ambient temperature is high or a video is recorded continuously, the camera may display
[
] and stop the recording. Wait until the camera cools down.
• The required speed class of a card varies depending on the video [Rec Quality]. Be sure to use a
card of the recommended speed class (→25).
Sometimes focusing with Autofocus mode is difficult while recording 4K videos.
• This may occur when taking a picture by reducing the Autofocus speed in order to adjust the focus
at high precision. This is not a malfunction.
A noise, such as a clicking or buzzing noise, is recorded on a video. Audio is recorded at low
volumes.
• With recording in a quiet environment, the sound of aperture, focus and other actions may be
recorded in videos. This is not a malfunction. Focusing during video recording can be set to [OFF]
in [Continuous AF] (→151).
• If you block the microphone with your fingers while a video is being recorded, the audio may be
recorded at a low volume or may not be recorded at all. In this case, the camera may pick up the
lens operating sounds more easily.
Operating sounds are recorded in a video.
• We recommend recording videos in Creative Video Mode if you are concerned about operating
noise. (→77)
