Subject: Re: [Leica] Subject: M7 Battery Cover

Very very important. The battery cover requires a very
high torque to lock it. It might seem secure when it
clicks, but its not. Tighten it further inthe
clockwise direction and it will feel a very positive
click and it will never come off. Unfortunately this
is not explained in detail in the manual, but the
plastic tabs on the cover will not lock if not enough
torque is applied.
