The Leica SL3-S Vario kit offers high-speed shooting with its 24MP sensor and 30 fps continuous shooting, ideal for capturing fast action. It excels in low-light conditions and provides superior colour output. The camera's advanced autofocus system ensures accurate tracking of moving subjects. For videographers, it supports unlimited 6K recording, enhancing creative flexibility. The robust all-metal body is IP54-certified for durability, while the included lens is perfect for versatile photography, from landscapes to portraits.

Features

The Leica SL3-S Mirrorless Camera arrives with a bundle of features that continue to prove the brand's Midas touch. At the core of this release is the hybrid autofocus system and its 24 MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor, which supports continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus, making it the fastest Leica ever built. The video capabilities are equally impressive, providing unlimited 6K Open Gate internal recording while utilizing the full size of the sensor in its native 3:2 aspect ratio. Securely protected by an IP54-certified solid all-metal body and credentials technology in accordance with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), the SL3-S covers all bases.

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.

Video Capabilities

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 for 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.
