Before Use
Before Use
■
Camera handling
Do not subject it to excessive vibration, force, or pressure.
●
Otherwise, the lens, the monitor, or the external body may be damaged.
Besides, the camera may also malfunction or the image may not be
recorded.
The camera is not dust/splash resistant, or waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with a lot of dust, water, sand,
etc. such as on a rainy day or at the beach.
●
Liquids, sand and other foreign material may enter through the gaps around
the lens, the buttons, etc. Be particularly careful since it may not just cause
malfunctions, but it may also cause irreparable damage.
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or the 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.
■
Always take a test shot first
Before important events when you will use the camera (at weddings, for example),
always take a test shot to make sure that pictures and sound record correctly.
■
No compensation for missed shots
Leica Camera AG cannot compensate for missed shots if technical problems with the
camera or card prevent recording.
■
Carefully observe copyright laws
Unauthorized use of recordings that contain works with copyright for purposes other
than personal use is prohibited under copyright law. Recording of certain material may
be restricted even for the purpose of personal use.
■
Also refer to “Usage Cautions and Notes” (→294)

Preparations
Attaching the lens cap and shoulder strap
Cover the lens with the lens cap to protect it whenever you are not using the camera. We
recommend attaching the lens cap using the lens cap string to prevent its loss. We also
recommend attaching the carrying strap to prevent the camera from being dropped.
1
Use the lens cap string (supplied) to attach the lens cap to the
camera
Make sure that the thicker part of the string is not hanging over the lens cap or the shoulder
strap eyelet.
2
Attach the lens cap
To attach and remove the lens
cap, press the tabs shown by

Preparations
Charging the Battery
Always charge before the first use! (the battery is shipped uncharged)
About batteries that you can use with this camera
It has been found that counterfeit batteries which look very similar to the
genuine product are available in some markets. Some of these batteries are
not adequately equipped with internal protection to meet the requirements
of appropriate safety standards. Using such batteries may lead to fire or
explosion. Please be advised that Leica Camera AG is not liable for any accident
or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery. To ensure that
safe products are used we urgently recommend to use only the Leica battery
BP-DC15 (→13).
• Use only the dedicated charger and battery.

If the light is flashing:
• Battery temperature is

recommend charging in a
location where the ambient
temperature is between 10°C
and 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
• Battery/charger connector is
dirty. Clean with a dry cloth.
• Charge the battery indoors.

Remove the battery after charging is completed
• The battery charger is in a standby condition as long as AC power is supplied.
The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the battery charger is connected to
an electrical outlet.

Notes on charging time
Charging time approx. 190min
• The charging time indicated above is the time required when the battery is completely
discharged. The time required for charging differs depending on conditions of battery
usage. Charging takes longer when temperatures are either high or low and when the
battery has not been used for a long period of time.
Remaining battery capacity
When using the camera, the remaining battery capacity is displayed.
Remaining capacity
(flashes red)
If the battery icon flashes red, recharge or replace the battery with a
fully charged one.
●
Use only the Leica battery BP-DC15 (→13).
●
Leica Camera AG cannot guarantee the quality of any other type of battery.
●
Remove the battery from the camera after use.
• Keep the battery in a plastic case, making sure that it is kept away from metallic objects (such
as clips) when carrying or storing it.
●
To remove the battery, turn the camera off and wait until the Leica logo on the monitor goes off.
(Failure to wait may cause the camera to malfunction and may damage the card or the recorded
data.)

• Temperature: 23°C (73.4°F)/Humidity: 50% RH when monitor is on.
• Using an SDHC memory card.
• Using the supplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on (when [Stabilizer] is set to [
]).
• Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash output every second recording.
• Zooming through the complete focal length range (from Tele to Wide) or vice versa in every
recording.
• Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery
decreases.
The number is reduced if intervals are longer (e.g. to approx. one quarter for 2-minute
intervals under the above conditions).

Recording conditions
• Temperature 23°C (73.4°F), humidity 50% RH
●
Motion pictures with their file size set to [FHD], [HD] or [VGA] in [Rec Quality]:
Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 29 minutes or the file size exceeds
4GB.
• Since the file size becomes larger with [FHD], recording with [FHD] will stop earlier than after
29 minutes.
●
Motion pictures with their file size set to [4K] in [Rec Quality]:
Recording stops when the continuous recording time exceeds 15 minutes. (You can continue
recording without interruption even if the file size exceeds 4GB, but the video will be saved and
played back in separate parts.)
Viewing pictures (When using the monitor)
Playback time approx. 260min
●
The operating times and number of recordable pictures will differ according to the
environment and the operating conditions.
For example, in the following cases, the operating times shorten and the number of recordable
pictures is reduced.
• In low-temperature environments, such as on ski slopes.
• When functions such as flash and zooming are used repeatedly.
●
If the available battery capacity is significantly reduced, it is reaching the end of its lifespan.
Please purchase a new battery.
