A no compromise compact, the black Leica Q (Typ 116) Digital Camera
wields a full-frame 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor within its exceptionally
portable, and beautiful, body. Leveraging the power of the Leica Maestro
II series image processor, high-resolution, low-noise imaging is
possible at sensitivities up to ISO 50000 and at a continuous rate of 10
fps. Also, the camera utilizes a Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens to
allow users to dramatically separate the subject from the background as
well as work in difficult light conditions. The design is benefited by
Leica's classic simple aesthetic and the body has easily read laser
engraved lettering, numbers, and dials. Construction is solid with a
machined aluminum top plate and a lightweight magnesium alloy body.
Also, it has a large thumb rest on the back and a diamond pattern on the
front leathering to ensure a firm, comfortable grip over the camera.
Further, the Q (Typ 116) has a built-in 3.68-megapixel LCOS electronic
viewfinder which provides a live through-the-lens image with handling
similar to that of a rangefinder.
In addition to fully manual
control with physical operation using the aperture and focus rings on
the lens, auto focus is possible using a contrast-based system. This
enables fast, sharp imaging at the click of the shutter. The rear 3.0"
1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD monitor helps by allowing users to quickly
take control of their focus by just tapping on their subject. Focusing
aids are also available in the form of Focus Peaking and Live View Zoom.
Another benefit of the updated Maestro II processor is Full HD 1080p
video capture at 60 or 30 fps. A built-in stereo microphone enables
high-quality sound recording and an integrated wind filter limits
extraneous noise. Full manual control will then allow users to dial in
the exact look they want or need for their shot.
Share your photos
and videos instantly thanks to an integrated Wi-Fi module which allows
you to link the camera to a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The Q also
has an NFC chip for tap-to-connect functionality with certain devices
and the free Leica Q app lets you take remote control of your camera for
adjusting exposure while you shoot from odd angles and positions. With
Leica's classic styling's, the Q (Typ 116) offers an intuitive, minimal
design while remaining compact. It packs a full-frame sensor and
Summilux lens for optimal image quality in both stills and video. An
electronic viewfinder is also available for rangefinder-like operation
and handling, much like their M-series cameras. Featuring a full-frame
24MP CMOS sensor, this camera can capture sharp high-resolution images
and Full HD video with exceptionally low noise at sensitivities up to
ISO 50000. Combined with the power of the Maestro II image processor,
this enables continuous shooting at a rate of up to 10 fps and video at
up to 60 fps.
Take control of your imaging with the ability to separate the subject
from the background with the Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens of the Leica
Q (Typ 116). It has a fast f/1.7 maximum aperture for working in low
light conditions and both a physical aperture blade and focus ring for
tactile operation. Users looking for a little tighter framing can
benefit from a Digital Frame Selector setting which will crop in either
1.25x to a 35mm equivalent or 1.8x for a 50mm equivalent field of view,
both of which will be visible on the EVF and LCD. Additionally, further
benefitting image quality is an optical stabilization system to reduce
camera shake in videos and photos and the ability to accept 49mm
threaded filters. Natural, ergonomic shooting is possible with the
inclusion of a 3.68MP LCOS electronic viewfinder in the top left corner
on the back of the camera. This setup provides an exceptionally clear
and bright viewing experience with a 1280 x 960 pixels x 3 colors
design.
3.0" 1.04m-Dot LCD Touchscreen
Compose images, review photos, and adjust settings using the large 3.0"
1.04m-dot LCD touchscreen on the rear of the camera. This panel is also
touch capable for making fast changes to your settings. This enables
features like touch focus for simply tapping on your subject to lock on.
Record full HD 1080p video at either 60 or 30 fps with the Q, capturing
sharp, highly detailed images thanks to the Maestro II image processor.
The camera can also shoot 720p at 30 fps. Incorporating a solid
machined aluminum top plate and a magnesium alloy body, the Q (Typ 116)
is designed to last. The rear features a substantial thumb rest which
combined with the diamond-patterned leathering makes for a supremely
comfortable and secure grip over the camera. Share your photos and
videos instantly thanks to an integrated Wi-Fi module which allows you
to link the camera to a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The Q also has
an NFC chip for tap-to-connect functionality with certain devices and
the free Leica Q app lets you take remote control of your camera for
