Leica SL3-S Mirrorless Camera Body

The Leica SL3-S Mirrorless Camera Body combines cutting-edge engineering with Leica's legendary precision. Powered by a 24 MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor and advanced hybrid autofocus, it delivers continuous shooting at 30 fps with full AF tracking—the fastest performance Leica has ever achieved. Videographers benefit from unlimited 6K Open Gate recording in native 3:2 aspect ratio, capturing the sensor's full potential. Built tough with an IP54-rated all-metal chassis and Content Authenticity Initiative credentials, this camera is engineered for professional demands and built to last.

24MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor and Maestro IV Processor

Spearheading this launch is the 24MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with fast PDAF. When combined with the Maestro IV processor and 8GB of buffer memory it provides exceptional low-light performance and incredible color output at a file size ideal for sharing, making the SL3-S a powerful asset for a diverse amount of shooting situations. This system allows for DNG and JPEG format at 24MP and handheld multishot modes at 48 and 96MP.

Advanced Autofocus System

The SL3-S sensor boasts 779 autofocus points, which is three times more than the SL-2S and over two times more than the SL3. The combination of Contrast Detection AF and the 779-point phase-detection system affords quicker, more intelligent object detection and tracking for working with moving subjects, especially when shooting continuously up to 30 fps. Tracking, in general, has never been easier for Leica users.

Unlimited 6K Open Gate Internal Recording

This system's video capabilities were meant to match its photo counterpart, with unlimited 6K Open Gate internal recording the user gains new creative possibilities when it comes to postproduction while using the full size of the sensor in its native 3:2 ratio. Additionally, this upgrade offers:

• Re-Framing Flexibility: Allows cropping and adjusting framing without losing quality.
• Better for Visual Effects: More image data aids in tasks like stabilization, tracking, and applying visual effects.
• Allows usage of anamorphic lenses on an SL3-S without loss of image information.
• Creative Aspect Ratios: Provides the option to experiment with different aspect ratios, like 4:3 or 3:2, giving more creative control.

External Recording and Additional Video Features

5.9K RAW external recording provides the best post-production flexibility, offering malleable files with incredible dynamic range and color grading support. Additionally, you can now use larger storage options thanks to SSD recording via USB-C.

• Direct SSD recording via USB-C allows users to use larger storage options
• Records HDMI-Raw in 5.9K at 30 fps to external display recorders
• Upgraded Cine Mode specifically for professional video production
• Fast transmission rates for CFexpress type B are supported for video production in up to 6K quality with efficiency codecs and lauded L-Log color space

Image Stabilization and EyeRes Viewfinder

Complementing this camera's powerful sensor is a 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization IBIS system that provides up to 5 stops of shake reduction, allowing you to capture sharper handheld images. The SL3-S EyeRes viewfinder is equipped with an optical system of glass lenses display that clearly displays the subjects with up to 120 images per second and a resolution of 5.76m-dot.
