Enjoy dynamic viewing on the 3.2" tilting touchscreen LCD and versatile file-saving options with CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II slots. Weighing only 850g, the SL3 also features a hybrid autofocusing system for reliable performance in multiple shooting situations.
60MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor and Maestro IV Processor
At the front and center of the SL3's notable upgrades are its 60MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor and Maestro IV image processor. This duo combined with 8GB of buffer memory allows for incredible capturing speeds as well as superb image quality. This is double the amount of buffer memory available in the SL2-S, which means you'll experience noticeable speed improvements for all operations, including startup time. Additionally, this improved processor provides a wide ISO sensitivity range from 50-100000.
Triple Resolution Technology
Choose between 60, 36, or 18MP output while still utilizing the full sensor area with Leica's Triple Resolution Technology. This unique pixel binning process allows you to capture DNG and JPEG files at smaller sizes while still benefiting from the sensor's rich 14-bit color depth and 15-stops of dynamic range.
Hybrid AF System with PDAF
Utilizing a hybrid AF system for optimized focusing, the SL3 features Phase Detection AF with Object Detection AF and Contrast Detection AF, ensuring speedy shifts in focus as well as reliable performance in low light scenarios. With this improved focusing system, the camera tracks eyes, faces, bodies, and animals much more effectively.
8K Video Recording & ProRes 1080p
The SL3 excels in video recording, supporting all resolutions up to 8K with unlimited internal or external capture at various frame rates and quality levels. It enables ProRes 422 HQ recording at Full HD up to 60p. Equipped with HDMI 2.1 Type A and USB-C ports, it offers seamless connectivity to external devices such as recorders, gimbals, and power sources, enhancing its versatility for professional video production.
5-Axis Image Stabilization
Complementing this camera's powerful sensor is a 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization system that provides up to 5-stops of shake reduction, allowing you to capture sharper handheld images.
