Leica SL2-S Mirrorless Camera Body

The Leica SL2-S merges iconic design heritage with contemporary imaging technology, housing a 24.6MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor engineered for exceptional photographic and cinematic performance. Its robust processing architecture—powered by the Maestro III engine—enables uncompressed DNG capture at 25 fps full resolution and 4K video at 60p, while maintaining an expansive ISO 50–100,000 sensitivity range for pristine results across challenging lighting conditions. The integrated 5-axis stabilization system and 225 autofocus zones ensure precise subject tracking and motion compensation. Dual-interface menu architecture separates photo and video workflows, streamlining operational efficiency for demanding professionals.

24.6MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor and Maestro III Processor

The SL2-S features a 24.6MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor paired with the Maestro III processor, delivering clean imagery across an ISO 50–100,000 range with minimal noise. Its filterless design maximizes sharpness and resolution, while supporting continuous shooting at 25 fps (electronic) or 9 fps (mechanical) with a 4GB buffer for extended burst capture of full-resolution files.

DCI/UHD 4K 10-Bit Video Recording

The SL2-S delivers comprehensive 4K video capabilities with DCI and UHD formats at up to 60p, supporting 10-bit 4:2:2 internal recording and unlimited recording duration. Full HD slow-motion reaches 180 fps, while HLG and L-Log gamma profiles enable advanced HDR and post-production flexibility. External HDMI output provides 10-bit quality at all frame rates, complemented by integrated LUTs, color bars, and dedicated 3.5mm audio inputs for professional-grade sound capture.

Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization

The Leica SL2-S delivers exceptional image stability through its sophisticated 5-axis sensor-shift mechanism, enabling consistently sharp handheld photography across diverse movement scenarios. Beyond stabilization, the camera incorporates an innovative Multishot function that merges eight sequential exposures into a single 96MP composition, yielding superior detail rendition and chromatic fidelity—particularly advantageous for stationary subjects and tripod-mounted work. This advanced capture method produces images at 12000 x 8000-pixel resolution, surpassing the quality achievable through conventional single-frame acquisition.

Object Detection Autofocus System

For accelerated autofocus performance, a Leica Object Detection AF system quickly calculates the distance to subjects and adjusts the focusing position with sensor and lens communication occurring at rates up to 480 fps. This contrast-detection type focus method benefits both still and video recording modes, as well as subject tracking applications through the use of a Body Detection mode. It also features 225 selectable AF areas, which provide excellent control over where the camera will focus, and Automatic Follow Focus offers three focus points for automatic focus shift during video recording.
