Leica SL2 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body

The Leica SL2 represents a pinnacle of professional imaging, combining a 47.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor with the advanced Maestro III processor to deliver exceptional versatility across stills and motion. Capable of 20 fps continuous shooting and 6 fps with autofocus tracking, this refined instrument accommodates demanding workflows. Video capabilities span 5K at 30 fps and DCI 4K at 60 fps with 10-bit color depth for post-production flexibility. The integrated Object Detection AF system leverages 225 focus points for precision acquisition, while 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization ensures optical steadiness during handheld operation. A sophisticated full-frame body engineered for discerning professionals seeking uncompromised performance.

47.3MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor and Maestro III Processor

The SL2 combines a 47.3MP full-frame CMOS sensor with the Maestro III processor to deliver high-resolution imaging with exceptional sensitivity and a 14-stop dynamic range. The filterless sensor design maximizes sharpness, while the processor suppresses noise across ISO 50-50000. Continuous shooting reaches 20 fps (electronic shutter) or 10 fps (mechanical shutter), with 6 fps available during autofocus tracking, capturing up to 78 consecutive DNG files.

5K and 4K Video Recording

The SL2 transcends traditional stills photography with comprehensive video capabilities spanning 5K (4992 x 3744) at 10-bit color fidelity, alongside DCI, UHD 4K, and Full HD formats. High-frame-rate modes deliver UHD 4K60 and Full HD180 recording, enabling 2x and 6x slow-motion playback respectively. Professional color science is enhanced through dedicated Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) Photo Style and L-Log gamma profiles, preserving critical highlight and shadow information for sophisticated color grading workflows. Connectivity options include HDMI Type A output for external recorder integration, complemented by 3.5mm inputs for microphone and headphone monitoring, establishing a fully-featured production platform for cinematographers and hybrid content creators.

Object Detection Autofocus System

The SL2 employs a Leica Object Detection AF system with 480 fps sensor-lens communication for rapid focus acquisition across stills, video, and subject tracking. Body Detection mode enhances autofocus reliability, while 225 selectable AF areas grant precise focus point control.

Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization

The SL2's 5-axis sensor-shift stabilization system effectively counteracts camera movement across multiple planes, enabling consistently sharp handheld capture in challenging lighting conditions. Leveraging this same stabilization architecture, the integrated Multishot mode synthesizes eight sequential exposures into a unified 187MP raw or JPEG file, delivering exceptional detail and chromatic precision for stationary subjects and tripod-mounted applications. The resulting 16736 x 11168-pixel output surpasses single-frame resolution, providing photographers with enhanced tonal gradation and spatial information ideal for large-format printing and demanding post-production workflows.
