LEICA M11 Monochrom Rangefinder Camera - Manual (Page 159)

CARE/STORAGE 159
• All mechanical bearings and sliding surfaces on your lens are
lubricated. Make sure to periodically move the focus ring and the
aperture ring to prevent seizing if the lens will not be used for an
extended period of time.
• Make sure not to apply too much lubricant to the bayonet and
take particular care not to apply grease to the 6-bit encoding. Too
much lubricant will result in grease residue lodging in the gap,
where dirt will then accumulate. The legibility of the code will be
impacted, which may cause malfunctions in digital M models.
VIEWFINDER/LCD PANEL
• Switch off your camera and leave it to stand at room temperature
for around 1 hour if condensation has formed on or in the camera.
The condensation will disappear, once the camera temperature
has reached room temperature.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
• Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries should only be stored partially
charged, i.e. not fully depleted or fully charged. The camera LCD
panel will show the current charge level of the battery. Charge
the battery twice a year for around 15 minutes to avoid deep dis-
charge in case of very long storage periods.
MEMORY CARDS
• Make sure to store memory cards in their anti-static container
when not in use.
• Do not store memory cards where they will be exposed to high
temperatures, direct sunlight, magnetic fields or static electricity.
Always remove the memory card if the camera will not be used for
an extended period of time.
• We recommend formatting memory cards from time to time, as
fragmented residual data from deleted files may block some of
the storage capacity.
