CLEANING THE SENSOR

If any dust or dirt particles should adhere to the sensor cover glass,

depending on the size of the particles this can be identiﬁed by dark spots

or marks on the pictures.

The Leica S can be sent to Leica Camera AG’s Customer Care depart-

ment for the sensor to be cleaned at a cost (address: see p. 74) – this

cleaning is not included in the warranty.

You can also perform the cleaning yourself, using the Sensor Cleaning

function in the menu. This allows access to the sensor by keeping the

shutter open.

Notes:

• Generally: To protect the Leica S against ingress of dust etc. into the

interior of the camera, it is important always to have a lens or a cover

attached to the camera body.

• For the same reason, change lenses quickly and in an environment that

is as dust-free as possible.

• As plastic parts can easily pick up a static charge and then attract more

dust, individual lens caps and covers should only be stored for short

periods in pockets in clothing.

Setting the function

1. In the SETUP menu (see p. 17/26) select Sensor Cleaning (5.23).

• The relevant submenu appears.

2. Conﬁrm the function in the submenu, if there is sufﬁcient battery

capacity, i.e. at a minimum of 60%.

• The message Please switch off camera after inspection. appears.

Note:

However, if the battery capacity is lower, the warning message Attention

- Battery too low for sensor cleaning appears instead to indicate that the

function is not available, i.e. Yes cannot be selected

3. Press the shutter release button (1.1). The shutter opens and remains

open.

4. Perform the cleaning. Make sure you follow the instructions under

"Notes".

5. After cleaning, the shutter is closed by turning off the camera.

• The message Attention - Please stop sensor cleaning immediately

appears.

Notes:

• As far as possible, both inspection and cleaning of the sensor should be

performed in a dust-free environment to prevent further soiling.

• An 8x or 10x magnifying glass is very useful for the inspection and after

cleaning.

• Lightly adhering dust can be blown off the sensor cover glass using

clean and, if necessary ionized gases such as air or nitrogen. It makes

sense to use a (rubber) bellows with no brush for this purpose. Special,

low pressure cleaning sprays such as "Tetenal Antidust Professional"

can also be used in line with their speciﬁed usage.

• If the particles cannot be removed from the sensor in this way, please

refer the matter to your Leica Information Service (address: see p. 74).

• If the battery capacity falls to less than 40% while the shutter is open, a

warning message "Attention Please stop sensor cleaning immediately.”

" appears on the monitor. At the same time a sustained beep tone will

sound, which continues until the camera is switched off. Turning off also

closes the shutter.

Be absolutely sure in this case that the shutter widow is clear, i.e. that

no object can obstruct the closing movement of the shutter, otherwise

damage may occur!

Important:

• Leica Camera AG accepts no liability for damage caused by the user

when cleaning the sensor.

• Do not attempt to blow dust particles off the sensor cover glass using

your mouth; even tiny droplets of saliva can cause marks that are dif-

ﬁcult to remove.

• Compressed air cleaners with high gas pressure may not be used as

they can also cause damage.

• Take care to avoid touching the sensor surface with any hard objects

during inspection and cleaning.
