| Lens system: | | Leica M lenses from 16 to 135 mm. |
| | |
| Material: | | All-metal die cast magnesium body, synthetic leather covering. Brass top panel and base, black chrome plated finish.
|
| Image Sensor: | | B/W CMOS chip, active area approx. 23.9 × 35.8 mm (corresponds to usable format of analog Leica M models)
without color and low-pass filter. |
| Resolution: | | DNG™: 5976 × 3992 (24 megapixels), JPEG: 5952 × 3968 (24 megapixels), 4256 × 2832 (12 megapixels),
2976× 17984 (6 megapixels), 1600 × 1072 (1.7 megapixels). For video recordings: 720 P, 1080 P. |
| Data formats: | | DNG™ (raw data), either uncompressed or compressed (lossless), JPEG. |
| File size: | | DNG™: compressed 20-30 MB, uncompressed 34.5 MB, JPEG: depending on resolution and picture content |
| Video recording format : | | 24 fps, 25 fps |
| Buffer memory: | | 2 GB/30 pictures in series. |
| Sound recording: | | Mono, stereo using microphone adapter, choice of automatic or manual modulation during recording or fixed
“Concert” setting. |
| Storage media: | | SD cards up to 2 GB, SDHC cards up to 32 GB, SDXC cards. |
| Burst rate: | | 3fps |
| Self timer: | | 2s / 12s |
Storage Media: | | SD / SDHC / SDXC Memory Cards |
| Compatibility: | | Windows® Vista ®SP2 / 7 ®/ 8 ®; Mac ® OS X (10.5 or higher). |
| Exposure metering: | | Through-the-lens (TTL) metering, with variable aperture, center-weighted TTL metering for flash exposure with
system-compliant SCA-3000/2 standard flash units. |
Metering principle/
method: | | By metering the light reflected by light blades of the 1st shutter curtain onto a measuring cell: strong center-weighted; for metering on the sensor: spot, center-weighted, multi-field metering. |
| Metering range: | | (to ISO 320, room temperature and normal relative humidity:) EV 0 (with aperture 1.0) to EV 20 (with aperture 32). Flashing of the left-hand triangular LED in the viewfinder signals that the exposure meter reading is below the working range. |
| Sensitivity range: | | ISO 320 to ISO 25000, adjustable in 1/3 ISO increments, choice of automatic control or manual setting |
Exposure mode: | | Choice of automatic shutter speed control with manual aperture preselection – aperture priority A, or manual shutter speed and aperture setting. |
| Viewfinder principle: | | Large, bright, combined bright-line viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation. |
| Image field indication: | | By activating two bright-line frames each: for 35 and 135 mm, or for 28 and 90 mm, or for 50 and 75 mm.
Automatic switching when lens is attached. Frame color (red/white) selectable in menu. |
| Magnification: | | 0.68 x (for all lenses). |
Display
In the viewfinder: | | Four-digit digital display with dots above and below, displays. |
| On back: | | 3" TFT LCD monitor with 16 million colors and 921,600 pixels, approx. 100 % image field, max. 170° viewing angle, glass cover of extremely hard, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal for LiveView and review mode. |
| Shutter : | | Metal blade focal plane shutter with vertical movement |
| Shutter speeds: | | For aperture priority: (A)continuous from 60 s to 1/4000 s. For manual adjustment: 8 s to 1/4000 s in half steps.
B:for time exposures up to max. 60 s (in conjunction with self-timer T function, i.e. 1st release = shutter opens,
2nd release = shutter closes). (1/180 s): fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization, HSS linear flash mode
possible with all shutter speeds faster than 1/180 s with HSS-compatible Leica system flash units); for video recordings
(aperture priority and manual mode): 1/30 to 1/4000 s, for manual mode possible override of specified shutter speed
to ensure correct exposure. |
| Shutter release button: | | For single pictures: two-stage, 1. Activation of exposure metering and exposure lock (in aperture priority mode),
2. Shutter release; standard thread for cable release integrated. |
| GPS: | | Optional (only with multifunction hand grip attached, not available everywhere due to country-specific legislation,
i.e. enforced automatic shutdown in those countries), data written to EXIF header in picture files. |
| Software Included: | | 90 day trial subscription to Adobe® Creative Cloud Photoshop & Lightroom®. |
| Dimensions (L × H × D): | | Approx. 138,6× 42 × 80 mm (5.45 × 1.65 × 3.15 in). |
