58 / Precautions and care instructions / General precautions

• Do not touch the connections on the memory card and keep

them free of dirt, dust and moisture.

• It is recommended that memory cards be reformatted from

time to time, as fragmentation occurs when deleting, which

can block some of the memory capacity.

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 identi-

fied by dark spots or marks on the pictures. The LEICA S2 can

be sent to Leica AG's Customer Service department for the sen-

sor to be cleaned at a cost (address: see p. 64) - 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 against ingress of dust etc. into the inte-

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

cover fitted to the LEICA S2.

• For the same reason, when changing lenses work without

delay 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 section of the menu (see p. 13/22), select Sen-

sor Cleaning(5.21). The respective sub-menu appears.

2. Providing the battery has sufficient capacity, i.e. at least

60%, confirm the function in the submenu. 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 (1.19). The shutter opens

and remains open.

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

under „Notes“.

5 After cleaning, turning the camera off closes the shutter

again. The message Attention- Please stop sensor clean -

ing 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 ni -

trogen. 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. 64).

• If the battery capacity falls to less than 40% while the shutter

is open, a warning message Attention Battery low Please

switch off camera will appear on the monitor. At the same

time a sustained beep tone will sound, which continues until

the camera is switched off. Turning the camera off will cause

the shutter to be closed again. Be absolutely sure in this case

that the shutter window 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 difficult 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.
