Two M6 Questions

[maajka]

I received an M6 a few days ago and I've been playing with it since. Everything seems to work OK, the first negatives came out perfect. Beautiful cameras these Leicas...
But there are two minor things.
The first one is that there is something on the on the left lower corner of the "focusing square", like a small hair or something similar. It doesn't bother me much, but if it is something that is cleaned easily I would like to do it. I have no problem opening the camera myself unless I need some special tools.
The other thing is when I turn the shutter speed knob to 1000 and than turn it all the way back to 1s (not B) you can hear a click inside. Also if you press the shutter button after turning to 1000 and going back to e.g. 30 you can hear something similar. Is this normal?
I still have around 9 months warranty so I'm not worried much (except that I need to send it to Germany).
Thanks

I think that the focusing square is a projected image, and the actual hair is probably very tiny and magnified. Cleaning this is for a camera repair technician, in my opinion.

Going from 1/1000 to 1 the only small sound I hear is something kicking in at 1/8.

Best wishes with the new M6—yours looks beautiful.

On my M4-P, there is a click when coming down from 1000. It happens around 250. There are two different shutter mechanisms for the fast and slow times but I guess this is not exactly that thing, because the mechanism changes at 30 I think.

Anyway, thats nothing to worry about.
