SL3-S Collection
Including new bespoke power accessories
If you have ever held a Leica in your hands, you can appreciate balanced ergonomics and know what premium quality feels like. When you take your eyes off the display and look through the viewfinder, your subject is crystal clear for you to compose perfectly thanks to the sophisticated optical system and 5.76 million pixels.
The SL3-S supports continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus, making it the fastest Leica ever built. Thanks to the combination of phase detection, object and contrast detection, and advanced algorithms, your subject will be reliably recognised every time.
Seamlessly switch between photo and video modes with ease- thanks to a well-structured menu that clearly distinguishes between the two, ensuring you always keep your bearings. The customisable interface and multitude of connections enable maximum flexibility. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi provide a stable and fast connection to the Leica FOTOS App- the perfect assistant to your creative process.
A BSI CMOS full-frame sensor forms the core of the camera with its 24 Megapixel native resolution and top low-light performance. The Maestro IV processor effortlessly handles a large amount of data and ensures efficient image stabilisation. It reliably processes image data with excellent noise behaviour, superb colour rendering and high dynamic range- with 24MP as well as 48 or 96 MP in handheld multishot mode.
What's more, fast transmission rates for CFexpress type B are supported for video production in up to 6K quality with efficiency codecs and in the L-Log colour space lauded by professionals worldwide.
The SL3-S is particularly strong when it comes to video production: 6K recording in RAW format via HDMI is no problem. Videos and photography have an equally convincing look and level of detail- perfect for elevated and uncompromising productions. Open-gate recording in 3:2 allows the entire sensor range to be used instead of the classic 16:9. This increases flexibility during editing. Format adaptations remain clear and top quality as a result.
The powerful connectivity of the SL3-S will take your workflow to the next level. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with MIMO technology provide a stable and fast connection to the Leica FOTOS App. This allows you to transfer DNG images and videos in seconds, control your camera via your mobile device, install firmware updates, and apply Leica Looks presets to your JPG images directly. A very special update is planned for 2025: the integration of Camera to Cloud technology via frame.io in the SL3-S. This allows you to share data directly from the set with third parties for consultation or further editing.

SL Lens
The Fundamental Choice
The SL-Lenses with the L-Mount bayonet deliver unsurpassed image quality for photo and film with a conveniently compact design. Their sophisticated technologies are always based on a simple, yet fundamental idea: supporting the work of creatives with the highest level of quality. Consistently perfect sharpness and colour reproduction at every focal length, as well as beautiful bokeh, are the hallmarks of all Leica SL-Lenses. The APO Lenses in the SL-System in particular hold the highest standards of image quality and robustness, SL-Lenses without apochromatic correction still produce exceptional results but are conveniently lightweight and compact.
