Storage

If you are not using the Leica X2 for an extended period of time, we recom- mend that you:

a.switch it off (see p. 104),

b.remove the memory card (see p. 102), and

c.remove the battery (see p. 100) (after a maximum of 3 days, the time and date will be lost, see p. 102).

A lens works like a magnifying glass if bright sunlight shines on the front of the camera. The camera must therefore never be set aside in strong sunlight without protection. Use the lens cap and keep the camera in the shade (or immediately put it away in the case) help to prevent damage to the interior of the camera.

You should preferably store the Leica X2 in a closed and padded container so that nothing can damage it and it is protected from dust.

Store the Leica X2 in a dry, adequately ventilated place, where neither high temperatures nor high humidity will occur. When used in humid conditions, it should be completely cleared of all moisture before being stored away.

Photo cases that became wet during use should be emptied to prevent dam- age to your equipment caused by moisture and any leather-tanning residue released.

To prevent fungal growth during use in hot, humid tropical climates, the camera should be exposed to the sun and air as much as possible. Storage in airtight containers or cases is recommended only if a desiccant such as silica gel is placed in the container.

To prevent the formation of fungus, do not store the Leica X2 in a leather case for extended periods of time.

Note the serial numbers of your Leica X2, as it is extremely important in case of loss.
