Foreword - Leica M Instruction Manual

FOREWORD

Dear Customer,
Leica would like to thank you for purchasing the Leica M and
congratulate you on your choice. With this unique digital view and
rangefinder camera, you have made an excellent choice.
We wish you a great deal of pleasure and success using your new
Leica M.
In order to make best use of all the opportunities offered by this high
performance camera, we recommend that you first read these
instructions.
Notes:
• Leica is constantly working on developing and optimizing the Leica M.
As many functions on digital cameras are controlled by software,
improvements and extensions to the range of functions may need
to be installed on the camera at a later date. To do this, Leica
releases what are known as firmware updates at irregular intervals.
The cameras always have the latest firmware version when
shipped, and you can also download it easily from our home page
and install it on your camera.
If you register as an owner on the Leica Camera home page, you
will receive a newsletter informing you when a new firmware
update is available.
Further information on registration and firmware updates for your
Leica M, as well as any amendments and additions to the details
provided in the manual, can be found in the "Owners' Login" area
at: https://owners.leica-camera.com
You can tell whether your camera is running the latest firmware
version by selecting
