Leica M10 Instructions Manual page 95

Notes:
• As a rule: To protect the camera against ingress of dust etc. into
the interior of the camera, it is important always to have a lens
or a cap attached to the camera body.
• For the same reason, when changing lenses work quickly and in
an environment that is as dust-free as possible.
• As plastic parts can easily pick up a static charge and then at-
tract more dust, the lens and body caps should only be stored
for short periods in pockets in clothing.
• As far as possible, both inspection and cleaning of the sensor
should be performed in a dust-free environment to prevent fur-
ther soiling.
• Lightly adhering dust can be blown off the sensor cover glass
using clean and, if necessary ionized gases such as air or nitro-
gen. 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 the Leica Product Support depart-
ment.
• If the battery capacity falls to lower than 40% while the shutter is
open, the warning message
appears in the monitor. Turning the camera
cleaning immediately cleaning immediately
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.
