Product Features

- Mirrorless System Camera Offers Superior Performance for Both Photography and Video Production

The Leica SL2-S is a digital camera with a rugged, full-metal body built with advanced technology and equipped with a newly developed 24-megapixel, 35mm full-size back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS image sensor that delivers high image quality for both still images and video.

A new addition to the Leica SL System lineup for a variety of applications, the SL2-S further enhances its versatility, making it the ideal full-size mirrorless camera for photographers seeking both high pixel and high-speed performance. The SL2-S sets a new standard for the Leica SL system with its unparalleled high-speed continuous shooting performance of up to 25 frames per second at maximum recording pixels and professional-level video performance that enables continuous recording of 4K video in 10-bit without time limits.

- High-performance 24-megapixel CMOS sensor and LEICA MAESTRO III image processing engine

The new 24-megapixel 35mm full-size back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS image sensor, LEICA MAESTRO III image processing engine, and large-capacity 4GB buffer memory are used. For the first time, this allows for virtually unlimited continuous shooting at up to 9 frames per second. In other words, continuous shooting in JPEG format can continue unlimitedly as long as there is free space on the memory card being used.

- Image stabilization function using the image sensor shift method

The camera is equipped with a multi-axis image stabilization function that compensates for camera shake extremely efficiently by moving the image sensor in a direction that cancels out blurring in response to camera shake. This allows the correction to be effective even with lenses that do not have image stabilization functions, such as Leica M-type lenses. The camera also features a "multi-shot" function that utilizes this sensor-shift image stabilization technology to produce a single 96-megapixel image by combining eight consecutively shot images into a single image, which is four times the normal resolution. The camera's in-body image stabilization function, high sensitivity performance with a maximum ISO sensitivity of 100,000, and high-speed autofocusing ensure that beautiful images are always captured, regardless of lighting conditions.

- Compatibility with Various Software / Inheritance of the Leica SL System Concept

The Leica SL2-S supports tethered shooting with Capture One 21 software for RAW image management and editing, allowing remote control of the Leica SL2-S from a PC. Tethered shooting is also possible with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic. As a purchase bonus, you can use the Adobe Creative Cloud Photo Plan 90-day trial version.

Except for the image sensor, the SL2 has all the same features as the Leica SL2, including superior operability and the high-resolution EyeRes electronic viewfinder. Accessories can be shared with the Leica SL2. Of course, the same is true of the robust, full-metal body, which is dustproof and splashproof to IP54 levels and manufactured to the highest standards of quality.

- Ideal for creative video expression

This product offers great possibilities for photographers as well as videographers and cinematographers. The advanced features that power video production will be continuously improved through updates to the latest firmware. Key features include the ability to record 60 fps 4:2:2 10-bit video in Leica's proprietary L-log. A viewing LUT also allows the user to check the controlled video while shooting. Another important feature for professional-level video recording is the ability to shoot video continuously without a time limit of 30 minutes, as long as there is free space on the internal or external recording media.

In the future, the camera will also support HEVC, a highly efficient compression format, enabling up to 4K/60p 10-bit recording in HEVC. This will make it possible to record video in 1-minute segments, minimizing data loss. Other features such as waveform monitor display and auto follow focus will be added in future firmware updates, making the camera even more professional.

- Excellent lens compatibility enables shooting with a variety of lenses

The L-mount is used for the lens mount. This allows the camera to be used with a wide range of SL and TL lenses, as well as M, S, and R lenses with the use of an adapter. In addition, more than 40 types of autofocus lenses provided by the L-mount alliance companies can also be used. In addition, Leitz cine lenses, which are highly acclaimed by filmmakers, are also supported.
