• If there is a film in the camera, you should insert a new battery
immediately after removing the old one.
• Cold conditions impair the battery performance. The film also
becomes stiffer, making it harder to wind. Therefore, at low
temperatures the LEICA CM should be kept as close to the
body as possible and a new battery should be inserted.
Warning:
• Batteries should never be put in a fire, heated, recharged, dis-
assembled or broken apart.
• Used batteries should not be disposed of as normal, house-
hold garbage as they contain hazardous materials that are
harmful to the environment. To ensure they are properly re-
cycled, they should be returned to the dealer or disposed of as
special waste (at a collection point).
Switching the camera on and off/Automatic power off
Slide the ON/OFF switch (7) into the marked ON position. After
switching on, the lens cover opens, the lens moves to its ready
position and the displays appear in the data panel (19).
If the camera is switched off by sliding the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position, all displays disappear, the lens retracts and the
lens cover closes.
If the camera is not released within approximately 3 minutes of
switching on, it switches itself off automatically as described
above, but in this case the lens does not retract.
This standby mode prevents unnecessary battery consumption.
Note: However, despite this standby mode, in order to extend the
life of the battery, you should definitely make it a habit to always
turn the camera off if it will not be used for a long time.
