Fitting the lens

Only lenses equipped with a control cam for

LEICA R-Cameras (see page 36) may be

used on the LEICA R6.2 to avoid damage to

the camera. To insert a LEICA R-Lens

regardless of the focus and aperture settings,

proceed as follows:

Hold the lens firmly by its fixed ring 12.

Position the red dot 13 on the lens mount

opposite the dot on the bayonet lock

7on

the camera body. Insert the lens in this posi-

tion. A slight clockwise turn seats the lens

securely in position with an audible click.

Removing the lens

Hold the lens Firmly by its fixed ring 12.

Press down the bayonet lock 7on the

3camera body. Turn the lens anticlockwise

and remove. Always change lenses in the

shade or in your body's shadow.

Inserting and checking the batteries

The LEICA R6.2's exposure meter, electro-

nic self-timer, LED display and supplemen-

tary viewfinder light are powered by two

silver oxide button cells or a lithium cell;

see page 9 for a list of suitable battery cells.

Insert a coin in the slot of the battery cap 37

to unscrew. Use a clean cloth to wipe off

any oxidization on the surface of the

battery cells and insert them in the battery

cap; position them as marked in the battery

cap. Screw the cap with the battery cells

back into the baseplate of the camera.

Always check the state of the batteries

before attempting to take any photographs,

especially when the camera has not been

used for some time. To do so, press the test

button 21 for about 5 s. If the battery cells

are in working order, the red LED 22 in

front of the test button lights. If, in these

five seconds, the LED dims noticeably, the

battery cells are nearly flat and should be

replaced as soon as possible.

If the LED does not light, the outside of the

battery cells may have oxidized. If so,

simply wipe them clean.

Caution!

Always remove the battery cells if the camera

is unlikely to be used for some time.

Important! When a Motor-Winder or

Motor-Drive is fitted, the camera is powe-

red by the batteries of the motorized film

transport, i.e. you cannot check the camera's

batteries. To check that the motor batteries

are in fact supplying power to the exposure

meter and the viewfinder displays, press the

battery-test button 21,at the same time

switching on the exposure meter, e.g. by

pressing the locking button on the selector

switch (see chapter: Switching on the

exposure meter). However, this is not a

battery-check for the motor functions.

Notes on battery care and use:

Store battery cells in a cool, dry place.

Never use old and new battery cells

together.

Do not mix battery cells of different makes.

These battery cells are not rechargeable.

Batteries contain toxic and environmen-

tally dangerous substances. Do not discard

used battery cells in normal household

trash, but return them to your camera dealer

for recycling.

Quick-wind lever

The quick-wind lever 28 winds the film,

cocks the shutter, and turns the frame

counter 29.

When you hinge out the lever in the stand-

by position, there is room to slide your

thumb behind it and firmly support the

camera. For use with a Motor Winder or

Motor Drive, see the user manual supplied

with the motor unit.

The

symbol 25 marks the film plane.

Inserting the film

Pull up the rewind crank 20 and knob past

he spring resistance to release and open the

camera back*. This also resets the frame

counter to S (start).

Correct Incorrect

Pick up the film cartridge as shown above,

with the emulsion side facing up. Slide the

end of the film obliquely from above into

one of the slots of the take-up spool, making

sure that the film is gripped by at least one

of the retaining clips and projects under the

next clip.

* = The procedure is identical when a Data Back is fitted.
