DavidE Posted July 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 24, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, May I draw your attention to a previous post I made regarding my D-Lux 109 which may be of use to new D-Lux 7 owners to protect their new cameras. D-LUX 109 - 'Dead' ? camera By DavidE, July 19, 2018 in Leica D-Lux / Digilux / V-Lux / C-Lux In the past two years using my D-Lux 109 in daily use on holiday in the Cumbrian Fells and the Swiss alps this extremely 'expensive' add - on has worked well and spares can be carried at no additional cost !. The gizmo is a triffle fiddly but efficient. Enjoy your camera ! Regards, David Welcome, dear visitor!

wizard Posted July 28, 2020 Share #3 Posted July 28, 2020 Obviously a self-made on/off-switch locking device with added EV-value compensation dial locking function 🙂. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidE Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted July 29, 2020 Hi, To WDA and Wizard. Wizard has rightly explained this is a self-made on/off-switch locking device. It was designed specifically to stop the accidental turning on the Dlux 109 when in a camera case in my rucksack.. On walking holidays If the lever to start the camera was accidentally 'cauught' or accuated the camera tried to extend the lens and met resistance from the case . Result in possible costly burn out of camera electronics and a useless camera for the owner. This happened to me in the Swiss Alps on top of Mount Mittallalin in Zermatt in the middle of a lovely holiday ! I was lucky - no damage to camera. Fearing this could happen to the camera again, I 'fashioned ' a safety device from the only available source - a paper clip. Hope this is of use. Enjoy your Dlux 7 !

wda Posted July 29, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2020 I have its predecessor and have never experienced the fault you describe. I thought it was a temporary fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
