These accessories include finger loops, electronic view finder, ever-ready cases, flash and straps. The LC display is made of scratch-resistant and almost unbreakable sapphire crystal which has been treated with an anti-reflective protective coating that ensures that photographers can check their images in any lighting situation.Īll current M accessories for the Leica M (Typ 240) can be used with the Leica M Monochrom. In addition, the new processor enables extremely fast display of the captured images in review mode. With it’s high-capacity 2GB buffer memory and Leica Maestro processor, the camera captures sequences 3 times faster than its predecessor. With the optional Leica microphone adapter set, one can be assured of perfect sound. The new Leica M Monochrom captures high-quality, full-HD video in black and white. In Live View Focus Peaking mode, sharply focused edges in the image are highlighted by colored lines. The up to 10x magnification in Live View Zoom mode enables full control of the sharpness of details in the image on the monitor or the closest focusing distance. The Live View also offers two additional focusing methods. The high-resolution monitor with 921,600 pixels ensures that photographers have complete control of composition, exposure, focusing and depth of field. The new Leica M Monochrom opens up new dimensions for available-light photography with its combination of low noise up to ISO 25,000, a bright viewfinder, a low-vibration shutter release and fast lenses. This results in brilliant images which have 100% more details and contrast than what is possible in color photography.
As the M Monochrom has no need for color filters, it needs no interpolation for the calculation of luminance values. The Leica M Monochrom has a 24-megapixel resolution on a monochrom CMOS sensor similar to the Leica M.
