8/14/2023 0 Comments Leica full frame mirrorlessIt seems to be time for a long time user report! Since the camera started shipping in November 2015 there have been two significant firmware updates, reaffirming Leica’s commitment to improving existing products. The camera has been a constant companion, it’s been to Crete and Venice, Wimereux and Sarnano, it’s photographed weddings and christenings, dress rehearsals and tractor runs, skiing and dog shows, parties and private views. Looking through my Lightroom Library I have 6,000 saved images (I usually delete about 75% of the images I take, so that might be 15,000 images in total) taken with 23 different Leica lenses (SL, TL, M and R). I bought my own camera with the 24-90 at the first opportunity, and then the 90-280 on its release this spring. I had two different test cameras, one from June to July, and another for September.Īt the time of the camera launch in October 2015 I wrote The Leica SL (a field report) as an introduction to the camera. There were no instructions and no clue on the body itself (apart from Leica on the front, and On/Off on the back). It contained a prototype SL together with the 24-90 Vario Elmarit. On June 23rd 2015 a big box arrived at my door. Leica SL with 24-90 Vario Elmarit SL Asph Introduction Capture detail in even the darkest scenes with a maximum shutter time of 30 minutes.Triumvirate. Users now have the option of turning off Long Exposure Noise Reduction in the menu of the Leica SL2, allowing photographers who capture long exposures to work quicker and more conveniently. The focusing settings can also be fine-tuned by the user to adjust the behavior and tolerances for tracking. Intelligent-AF (iAF) can be used to focus on still subjects and begin tracking them as soon as they move. The advanced contrast-detect autofocus system of the Leica SL2 Mirrorless is capable of face detection and body detection, to track moving subjects and maintain pinpoint accuracy. This new EVF has 5.76 million dots of resolution for the highest quality viewing and composing experience through a Leica lens. The new OLED EVF in the Leica SL2 brings even better color fidelity and higher contrast with more resolution and sharpness. The grip material gives a more confident and secure grip that is comfortable to hold and use. Additionally, the ergonomics and contours of the camera have been improved to ensure it can be used for long periods of time without fatigue. The IP54-rated weather sealing of the SL2 ensures this versatile camera can perform in any extreme environment. Part of what makes the Leica SL-System so special is its versatility. The three-button control layout of the M10, CL and Q2 has now migrated to the SL2 for easier controls that are more approachable while still customizable enough for even seasoned pros. The menu functions for Photo and Video are split up with a graphical interface to clearly identify which one you are in and help you navigate. The Leica SL2 has a simplified interface and control scheme. Streamlined Menu Interface and Button Layout For example, shutter speed becomes shutter angle and ISO becomes ASA. For pros operating in a high-level work flow, the SL2 can be set to Cine Mode to speak the language of cinematographers. It goes further with 4K video up to 60 fps, a cropped 5K mode, built-in 3.5mm headphone and mic jacks and 10-bit quality direct to card. The Leica SL2 is a perfect hybrid platform for both stills and video, now recording 4K across the full sensor. The integrated Body Image Stabilization system offers up to 5.5-stop stabilization with any lens allowing stills and video to be steadier and helping guarantee sharp images even in low light with slower shutter speeds. The newly-developed 47-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor – with an ISO range of 50-50,000 – gives photographers all the resolution they need while still maintaining high speeds and versatile low-light shooting. 47MP Sensor with Body Image Stabilization These new technical achievements paired with a larger 3.2-inch rear LCD and the essential Leica three-button control layout make the SL2 the most capable and approachable professional system camera. The new OLED EVF with 5.76 million dots of resolution guarantees the clearest view and composition through a Leica lens. The Maestro III processor enables fast burst shooting and 4K for the highest quality and flexibility, and the optional Cine Mode speaks the language of cinematographers who require a professional work flow. The Leica SL2 combines a 47-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor with a sensor-based Body Image Stabilization to get the best image and video quality possible with all Leica lenses.
