IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE USE OF GPS
This function is available only with the Leica Visoflex viewfinder
attached (optional accessory).
Legal restrictions on use
• The use of GPS and associated technologies may be restricted in
some countries or regions.
• You should therefore contact your travel agent or the embassy of
your destination country for relevant information beforehand.
• The People's Republic of China and Cuba (exceptions: Hong
Kong and Macao) prohibit the use of GPS within their territories
and in the vicinity of their borders.
• Violations will be prosecuted by local authorities. The GPS
function is therefore automatically deactivated in these areas.
Notes on function
• Prerequisite for GPS triangulation (geolocation) is “Line of Sight”
(LoS) to at least 3 GPS satellites (up to 9 of the total 24 GPS
satellites are available from any point on Earth at all times). The
camera should therefore always be held with the GPS antenna
pointing straight upwards.
• Make sure not to cover the GPS antenna with your hand or any
object (specifically metallic objects).
• Perfect signal reception from GPS satellites may be impossible in
the following locations or under the circumstances listed below.
Geolocation may then be impossible or erratic at best.
– in enclosed spaces
– underground
– under trees
– in a moving vehicle
– in the vicinity of tall buildings or in narrow valleys
– in the vicinity of high-voltage lines
– in tunnels
– in the vicinity of mobile phones
– with an accessory attached to the flash shoe, e.g. a flash unit
• We recommend recommissioning the GPS function in a location
with good signal reception if the camera has not been used for
an extended period of time.
Notes on safe use
The electromagnetic radiation generated by the GPS system may
affect electronic instruments and measuring devices. Make sure to
disable the GPS function on board an aircraft before takeoff or
landing, in hospitals and other locations where RF restrictions
apply.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THE USE OF WLAN
• Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure security and
protect against disruptions to the systems in place where
devices or computer systems are in use that require more
stringent security than WLAN devices.
• Leica Camera AG shall not accept liability for damages arising
Legal information
from the use of the camera for purposes other than as a WLAN
device.
• It is assumed that the WLAN function will be used in countries
where this camera is sold. There may be a risk of breaching
statutory wireless communication regulations when using the
camera in other countries. Leica Camera AG shall not accept
liability for such breaches.
• Please note that there is a risk of unauthorized third party
interception of wirelessly communicated data. We highly
recommend that you activate encryption in the wireless access
point settings to ensure data safety.
• Avoid using the camera in areas where it can be exposed to
magnetic fields, static electricity or other interferences, e.g. near
a microwave oven. RF transmissions may otherwise not reach
the camera.
• Using the camera near devices like microwave ovens or wireless
phones that use the 2.4 GHz RF band may negatively affect the
performance of both devices.
• Do not attempt to connect to wireless networks you are not
authorized to use.
• The device will automatically search for wireless networks, once
the WLAN function is enabled. A list of network SSIDs, including
networks you are not authorized to access, will be displayed
(SSID: Network identifier for a WLAN connection). Do not
attempt to connect to such a network, as this could be
construed as unauthorized access.
• We recommend disabling the WLAN function while on an
aircraft.

SAFETY REMARKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
• Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices that
generate powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic
fields (e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or
computer screens, video game consoles, cell phones, broadcasting equipment). Their electromagnetic fields can interfere with
recordings.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric
motors, can damage the stored picture data or disrupt recording.
• Switch off the camera, remove the battery and switch the
camera back on in case of a camera malfunction due to the
effects of electromagnetic fields.
• Do not use the camera in the immediate vicinity of radio
transmitters or high-voltage power lines. Their electromagnetic
fields may interfere with recordings.
• Always store small parts e.g. the accessory shoe cover as
follows:
– out of the reach of children
– in a safe location, where they will not get lost or stolen
• State-of-the-art electronic components are sensitive to static
discharge. You can easily pick up charges of several 10,000 volts
by simply walking on synthetic floor coverings. A static discharge
can occur when you touch the camera and especially if it is
placed on a conductive surface. A static discharge on the
camera housing poses no risk for the electronics. Despite built-in
safety circuits, you should avoid direct contact with external
camera contacts like those in the flash shoe.
• Take care not to soil or scratch the sensor for lens detection in
the bayonet. You must similarly prevent direct contact of the
bayonet with grains of sand or similar particles, as these could
cause irreparable damage. This component must only be cleaned
with a dry cloth.
• Use a cotton or linen cloth instead of a microfiber cloth from an
optician's (synthetic) when cleaning the contacts. Make sure to
discharge any electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a
heating or water pipe (conductive, grounded material). Dirt
deposits and oxidation on the contacts can be avoided by storing
your camera in a dry location with the lens cap attached and all
covers in place.
• Only use accessories specified for this model to prevent faults,
short circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers) yourself.
Repairs must be done at authorized service centers only.
• Protect the camera against contact with insect sprays and other
aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol must
not be used for cleaning. Some chemicals and liquids can
damage the camera housing or the surface finish.
• Rubber and plastics are known to expel aggressive chemicals
and should therefore not be kept in contact with the camera for
extended periods of time.
• Prevent any sand, dust or water penetrating the camera, e.g.
during snowfall or rain or on the beach. Be extra careful when
changing the lens and inserting or removing the memory card
and battery. Sand and dust can damage the camera, the lens,
the memory card and the battery. Moisture can cause malfunctions and irreparable damage to the camera and memory card.

must be replaced immediately in case of a strange smell,
discoloration, deformation, overheating or leakage. Continued
use of the battery may result in overheating, which can cause
fire and/or explosion!
• Never throw batteries into a fire as they may explode.
• Keep the battery away from sources of heat in case of leakage or
if you smell burning. Leaked fluid can catch fire!
• The use of other chargers not approved by Leica Camera AG can
cause damage to the batteries – and in extreme cases – cause
serious or life-threatening injuries.
• Make sure that the power socket is freely accessible at all times.
• The in-car charging cable must never be connected while the
charger is connected to mains electricity.
• Do not attempt to open the battery or the charger. Repairs must
be carried out by authorized service centers only.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries can cause
suffocation when swallowed.
FIRST AID
• Battery fluid may cause blindness if it comes into contact
with the eyes. Rinse the eyes thoroughly with clean water
immediately. Avoid rubbing. Seek medical attention
immediately.
• Leaked battery fluid poses an injury hazard when it comes in
contact with clothing or skin. Rinse the affected areas
thoroughly with clean water.
CHARGER
• Using the charger in the vicinity of broadcasting receivers may
interfere with reception. Ensure a distance of at least 1 m (3 ft)
between the charger and the receiver.
• When the charger is in use, it may emit a buzzing sound – this is
normal and not a malfunction.
• Disconnect the charger from the mains when it is not in use, as
it consumes electricity (a very small amount), even if no battery
is inserted.
• Always keep the charger contacts clean, and never short circuit
them.
• The in-car charging cable must only be operated in 12V in-car
grids and must never be connected while the charger is
connected to mains electricity.
MEMORY CARD
• Never remove the memory card during a datasave or card
reading process. The camera must not be switched off or be
subjected to impact or vibrations while working.
• Do not open the cover/remove the memory card or the battery
while the status LED is lit, which indicates memory access. Data
on the card may otherwise be destroyed and camera malfunctions may occur.
• Do not drop or bend memory cards as this will cause damage
and result in the loss of stored data.
• Do not touch the connections on the reverse of the memory card
and keep them clean and dry.
• Keep memory cards out of the reach of children. Swallowing a
memory card may cause suffocation.
SENSOR
Cosmic radiation (e.g. during flights) may cause pixel defects.
CARRY STRAP
• Carry straps are usually made of very robust material. You should
therefore keep it out of the reach of children. A carry strap is not
a toy and poses a strangulation risk.
• Use the carry strap only for its intended purpose on a camera or
on binoculars. Any other use poses the risk of injury and may
result in damage to the carry strap and is therefore not
permitted.
• Carry straps should also not be used for cameras/binoculars
during sports activities that pose a risk of entanglement (e.g.
mountain climbing and similar outdoor activities).
Please read the section about “Care/Maintenance” for more
information about what to do in case of problems.

their current charge level. A partially charged battery will charge
to full capacity faster than a fully discharged one.
and should therefore be charged fully before their first use.
• A new battery only reaches its full capacity after it has been fully
charged and – by using it in the camera – depleted 2 to 3 times.
This depletion process should be repeated roughly every 25
cycles.
• Battery and charger heat up during the charging process. That is
normal and not a malfunction.
• Rapid flashing of the two LEDs (>2Hz) when charging com-
mences indicates a charging error (e.g. maximum charging time
exceeded, voltages or temperatures outside permitted ranges or
a short circuit). Disconnect the charger from the mains and
remove the battery. Ensure that the above temperature
conditions are met and then restart the charging process. Please
contact your dealer, the Leica representative in your region or
Leica Camera AG if the problem persists.
• Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries generate power by way of
internal chemical reactions. These reactions are influenced by
ambient temperature and humidity. To ensure a maximum
service life of the battery, it should not be exposed to extreme
temperatures (high or low) for extended periods of time (e.g. in a
parked car in the summer or winter).
• However, every battery has a limited service life! After several
hundred charging cycles, this limitation will become evident as
the operating times get significantly shorter.
10
• The replaceable battery supplies power to a backup battery,
which is permanently installed in the camera. This backup
battery retains the date and time for up to 2 months. Once the
backup battery is depleted, it must be replenished by inserting a
charged main battery. The backup battery will recover its full
capacity after approx. 60 hours with the rechargeable battery in
place. The camera does not have to be switched on for the
process. The time and date will have to be set again after a full
depletion of the backup battery.
• Warning messages may be displayed and some camera
functions may be restricted or blocked entirely as the battery
charge level decreases.
• Always remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an
extended period of time. Make sure to switch the camera off via
the main switch before removing the battery. Leaving the battery
in the camera will result in a deep discharge after a few weeks.
Voltage levels will decrease significantly, as the camera uses a
low idle current to maintain settings.
• Dispose of damaged batteries in accordance with the relevant
regulations at an approved collection point for proper recycling.
• The date of manufacture can be found on the battery.
The date format is week/year.
MEMORY CARD
• The range of available SD/SDHC/SDXC cards on the market is
too extensive for Leica Camera AG to test for compatibility and
quality. Generally, any type of memory card may be used without
any damage to the camera or memory card. As some "no name"
cards may not fully comply with the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards,
Leica Camera AG cannot provide any guarantee of function.
• We recommend formatting memory cards from time to time, as
fragmented residual data from deleted files may block some of
the storage capacity.
• We recommend backing up your data on a PC, because
electromagnetic fields, static electricity and any damage to the
memory card or camera defects may result in irretrievable
damage or loss of your data.
• SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards come with a write
protection slider to prevent accidental overwriting. This slider is
located on the non-beveled side of the card. All data on the card
is protected when the slider is set to its lower position, marked
LOCK.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
Leica is continuously working on the further development and
optimization of Leica M10-D. As digital cameras have many
functions that are controlled electronically, improvements and
enhancements to the functions can be installed on the camera at a
later date. Leica releases so-called firmware updates at irregular
intervals. Cameras are always supplied ex works with the latest
firmware installed or you can download the latest version from our
website yourself and transfer it to your camera.
You will receive a newsletter informing you of the availability of a
new firmware update if you register your camera on the Leica
Camera homepage.
Visit the download section or the "Customer Area" for information
about how to register or how to get firmware updates for your Leica
M10-D. Additionally, you can find information about changes or
