Leica SL3-S

Leica SL3-S

The Leica SL3-S is a 24-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera with ultra-fast, innovative features and advanced video functions. Thanks to its optimum working speed and reliability, the camera meets the high demands of professional photographers and videographers.

The 24-megapixel BSI full-frame sensor delivers exceptional low-light performance, so you can also capture sharp photos in poor lighting conditions. The ISO range of 50 to 200,000 offers optimum noise reduction when you need to work at higher values. With handheld multishot mode, you combine photos for extra detail in a resolution of 48 or 96 megapixels. The Maestro IV processor, internationally acclaimed for its optimum quality, ensures reliable, fast data processing.

Advanced Autofocus and Speed

The hybrid, fast autofocus system ensures razor-sharp focus. The autofocus uses three technologies: the latest generation of phase detection, object detection and contrast detection. Thanks to 779 focus points and precise tracking, your subject is always sharply in focus. The Leica SL3-S is the fastest Leica camera ever built; you can shoot up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus support.

Perfect for Videographers

The Leica SL3-S is also perfectly suited to videographers. Professionals can capture 3:2 open-gate recordings for ultimate creative flexibility. With open-gate recording, the entire sensor is used, allowing you to work with optimum resolution and freedom for re-framing. Record in HDMI RAW in 5.9K resolution at 30 fps to external storage with a display for extra control over your videos. Internal recording is also possible without a time limit in 5.8K at 30 fps or C4K at 60 fps. You can also record directly to an external SSD via the USB-C connection for further video flexibility. The dedicated timecode interface ensures professional synchronisation of image and sound.

Ease of Use and Connectivity

The new Leica UX design is simple and intuitive to navigate. Improved touch and gesture control provides extra ease of use. Many functions can be adapted to individual preferences, so you can set up the camera for your personal use. Extensive connectivity options and interfaces ensure a seamless professional workflow. Slots for CFexpress type B and UHS-II SD memory cards provide fast data storage. The SL3-S has a USB-C port and an HDMI 2.1 output. For a stable wireless connection, use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with MIMO technology. DNG images are transferred to the Leica FOTOS app in seconds. iPhone or iPad users can connect the camera directly as a certified Apple accessory.

Also perfect for professionals: the Leica SL3-S is equipped with Content Credentials technology. Each photo can be signed with tamper-proof metadata to prove authenticity. Data such as camera model, author and editing information can be checked with free verification tools.

High-Quality Design and Construction

The Leica SL3-S combines the latest technology with the much-loved, high-quality Leica design. The viewfinder has a high-quality optical system, ensuring your subject is always displayed crystal clear at up to 120 frames per second and with a resolution of 5.76 million pixels. The 3.2-inch monitor has a touchscreen and a tilting mechanism for capturing images from difficult angles. The camera is made to the highest quality standards and has a robust construction. The sturdy, all-metal body has an IP54 rating for protection against dust and splashing water.
