batterypower is sufficient.When the symbol @E flashes, the battery still has approximately30% capacity.Should no symbol appear,the battery is flat and must be
replaced immediately. In this case, the
shutter cannot be released.For this reason, always keep a spare battery handy
w h e n tra vel i ng.
Inserting the battery
",
The LEICAZ2Xis powerdd by a 3 volt Lithium battery (e.g. CR123).To insert the battery, open the battery compartment cover
(20)by pushingin the directionof the arrow.
Insert the lithium battery with the minus
pole facing forward as indicatedin the battery compartment;close the cover until it
clickssh u t .
Checking the battery
Switch the camera on (see p. 7). The protective lens cover then automatically
opens and the lens (12l' moves to the
,,ready" position. lf the symbol 4i-- ap-
lf the lens does not move into the ,,ready"
position,whenthe ON/OFFbutton is pressed, the batterymay be low, insertedincorre c tl yo r m i ssi ng.
Also, after a series of exposuresin close
s u c c e s sl on,the symbol E= may flash or
the symbol f== may appear.
"r)
Befcfe further exposures,pause brieflyfor
the'batteryto recover.
Attention; Cold temperatures reduce battery performance.In addition,the film becomes stiffer,makingfilm advancemore difficult. At low temperatures,carryyour LEICA
Z 2 X i wa n i nsi depocketand use a fresh battery.;o'
: fl:i
Changing the battery
When there is a film in the camera,insert
a new battery immediatelyafter removing
the old one. lf the camera is left more
than 10 minutes without a battery, the
f rame counter in the LCD data panel resets to ,,1" when you insert a new battery, regardlessof the number of pictures
taken.
Attention.' Keep battery-contactsclean. Do
not dispose of used batteriesby throwing
them into an open fire; do not try to recharge, break open, disassembleor heat. Do
not disposeof used batteriesin normalhousehold garbage, as they contain toxic
wastes that are dangerousto the environm e n t . R e t u r nt h e m t o y o u r l o c a ls u p p l i e ro r
