LEICA S (TYP 007)
37.5 Megapixel
With its superior technology and sophisticated ergonomics, the Leica S is up to any photographic challenge - anywhere, whether on location or in the studio.
The outstanding performance of Leica S lenses with focal lengths from 24 to 180 mm - most of which are also available with a central shutter on request - contribute to this.
Leica S CMOS Sensor
Experience perfection in even the tiniest details
The Leica S possesses all the proven qualities of the S-System, in particular the innovative, 30 by 45 mm Leica Max CMOS image sensor in Leica Pro Format. This sensor is more than 50 per cent larger than that of a 35 mm camera.
Leica Pro Format offers perfect balance between image quality and creative options.
It is large enough to deliver significantly higher imaging quality and shallower depth of focus than 35 mm and is suitable for a broad spectrum of photographic uses that go far beyond conventional medium format photography.
Autofocus
A new dynamic experience
The revised predictive autofocus system of the Leica S thinks one step ahead: it identifies movement in your subject and calculates how far your subject will have moved at the moment of exposure.
Focus corrections are applied in the last fraction of a second. The combination of fascinating picture quality and the high continuous shooting rate open up new horizons for you in the area of dynamic photography.
Maximum compatibility
Gives you unimagined creative freedom
With the appropriate adapters, you also have access to a multitude of 80 third-party lenses. This makes your choice of Leica lenses almost limitless.
Cine 4K
Video imaging quality that you simply won’t find in other cameras
The entire, 45 mm, width of the sensor is used for video recording in full-HD resolution. This, together with the exceptional quality of Leica S-System lenses, lends video recordings a unique look that warms the hearts of cineasts.
Videos produced with the Leica S captivate viewers with the bokeh created by the use of selective sharpness that is so typical in Leica still pictures.
DNG File Format
Standardized and flexible
The Leica S (Typ 007) is conceived for seamless integration in every existing working environment.
The most important prerequisite for this is that image data can be saved as files in the future-proof DNG (Digital Negative) format, the only manufacturer-independent, standardized format that does not rely on specific RAW converters.
Professional Workflow
Tethered shooting and more
Thanks to its USB 3.0 interface, the Leica S (Typ 007) can be connected directly to a computer for fast and stable tethered shooting.
Here, the Leica Image Shuttle software package ensures an efficient and professional photographic workflow in which all relevant image properties such as subject composition, framing, sharpness, and exposure can be viewed and assessed on larger monitor screens.
Controls and Handling
Intuitive handling, perfect ergonomics
Less is more. Let your feelings and the intuitive handling concept of the Leica S be your guide. The innovative clickwheel control and the five-way switch guarantee you fast and simple access to the settings you need. The camera’s compact construction, favourable centre of balance and the ergonomically designed handgrip and low overall weight guarantee additional ease when shooting.
Maestro II Processor
Instantaneous response in every situation
The Maestro II Processor has been specially developed for Leica for use in the Leica S (Typ 007) and is four times faster than its predecessor. All its electronic components are designed for maximum data throughput. The processor provides improved noise suppression and ensures that the camera reacts instantaneously to your commands.
The continuous shooting rate of up to 3.5 frames per second sets a new record in the medium format class. This is all made possible by 7,500 digital/analogue converters in parallel and a 2 GB buffer memory.
