The SL2-S seamlessly integrates Leica’s classic design with modern hybrid functionality, presenting a comprehensive full-frame mirrorless camera that excels in both photography and videography. At its core is Leica’s inaugural BSI CMOS sensor, boasting a resolution of 24.6MP, which facilitates DCI/UHD 4K 10-bit video recording, a wide sensitivity range from ISO 50 to 100,000, and exceptional image quality with minimal noise. This sensor is enhanced by the advanced Maestro III image processor, ensuring rapid performance and adaptability across the camera system. It supports continuous full-resolution DNG shooting at rates of up to 25 fps, alongside 4K video recording at 60p and Full HD at 180 fps.
To further support its hybrid functionality, Leica has introduced distinct Photo and Video menu systems, allowing for more intuitive navigation and control of settings in each mode. A 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization system is also included, effectively reducing camera shake for clearer handheld images. The sensor features a Leica Object Detection AF system, which offers 225 selectable AF areas for swift and precise focusing. In addition to its enhanced imaging capabilities, the SL2-S is constructed with a robust, weather-sealed body that includes a 5.76m-dot EyeRes OLED electronic viewfinder and a sizable 3.2″ 2.1m-dot touchscreen LCD. A top status LCD provides quick access to shooting settings, while dual UHS-II-compatible SD memory card slots enhance file-saving options. Furthermore, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities work in tandem with the Leica FOTOs app, enabling wireless file transfers and remote control of the camera.
