Leica SL3

An innovative hybrid autofocus system in the LEICA SL3 combines three different technologies: phase detection, object recognition and contrast detection. Thanks to advanced algorithms, these technologies work in harmony to produce a highly accurate system.

• Excellent image quality

The LEICA SL3 delivers superior image quality and detail in three different resolutions. Its full-frame sensor

with Triple Resolution Technology, in conjunction with the legendary LEICA lenses and the Maestro IV

processor, produces the iconic LEICA Look in 60, 36 or 18 megapixels.

• Design makes the difference

The SL3 is noticeably more compact and lighter than all of its previous models. The camera's excellent LEICA UX design ensures user-friendly and customized operation. With elegant forms, adaptable user interfaces and a clear distinction between still and video modes, the SL3 impresses with excellent ergonomics on all levels.

• Perfect user experience is always in focus

A smooth workflow while shooting is easily facilitated with quick access to frequently used functions in the control center. The tiltable, high-resolution display of the system camera contributes to the user-friendly design, focused entirely on ease of use. In addition, the SL3's interface can be fully customized to personal preferences.

• Made in Germany

The SL3 is manufactured with precision and attention to detail in Wetzlar, Germany. The solid, fully sealed metal housing is hand-built exclusively from the finest materials, ensuring a pleasant photographic experience in all weather conditions for many years to come.

• Connectivity at the highest level

The functions of the SL3 have been developed in close cooperation with professionals. As a result, the camera features a variety of connectivity options for data transfer and wireless connectivity. These include CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II card slots, a USB-C port, as well as a full-size HDMI output and a timecode interface. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ensure a stable and fast wireless connection.

The SL3's autofocus system combines three technologies using efficient algorithms. Depending on the shooting situation, the interaction of phase detection (PDAF), depth mapping (object detection AF) and contrast detection (contrast detection AF) are optimally adjusted. As a result, the SL3 produces perfectly sharp images in any lighting. Intelligent subject recognition also supports dynamic scene photography. The strengths of each technology are combined in a high-precision system that effortlessly meets all professional requirements.

The SL3 is noticeably lighter and more compact than its predecessors and fits perfectly in the hand. An optimized camera design ensures that all currently available LEICA L-Mount lenses are perfectly balanced, making the SL3 a particularly comfortable tool for demanding creatives. The elegant leather finish, which is also found on the separately available grip, provides optimum grip and a sophisticated feel.

• Fully sealed housing made in Germany.

The LEICA SL3 impresses with its robust construction, designed to withstand the challenges of daily use at all times. Exclusive high-quality materials provide the SL3 with longevity and reliability for years to come. This is also supported by continuous firmware updates that can be easily installed with the LEICA FOTOS application. The IP54 certification of the robust all-metal housing ensures extended protection against moisture and dust, allowing the camera to be used for both photo and video shoots even in harsh production conditions.

• High-resolution EyeRes viewfinder

The eyepiece of the SL3's electronic viewfinder is meticulously crafted with high-quality coated glass lenses. This enables optimal viewing of the inner image of OLED displays with a resolution of 5.76 million pixels and up to 120 B/s. Allowing exposure and composition to be reliably assessed in Live Preview. Thanks to the integrated eye sensor, there is automatic switching between viewfinder and Live-View screen when the camera is not directly close to the eye.

• Fast data transfer with or without cables

Among the SL3's many interfaces for data transfer and connectivity are slots for CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD cards, a USB-C port for fast data transfer, connection and charging, as well as an HDMI Type-A output for external devices. monitors or recording devices. A dedicated timecode interface ensures image and sound synchronization in multi-camera video productions. In addition, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with MIMO technology ensure a stable and fast connection to the LEICA FOTOS application. As a result, photos in full DNG resolution can be transferred from the camera to a mobile device in approximately 2 seconds. A mobile workflow that keeps up with the times.
