Own the Moment.

The SL3 is a source of inspiration and a trusted companion, elevating the art of visual storytelling to a whole new level. Ideal for those who aim to not only enhance their photography and videography skills, but also for those who want to own the moment, and fully immerse themselves in the joy of the creative process with a Leica.

This mirrorless full-frame system camera is a testament to Made in Germany quality and precision, uniquely combining cutting-edge technology and a user-friendly design with the renowned craftsmanship synonymous with the Leica brand for more than 150 years.

Pin-Sharp in Any Light

An innovative hybrid autofocus system in the Leica SL3 combines three different technologies: phase detection, object detection, and contrast detection.
Thanks to advanced algorithms, these technologies work in harmony to produce a highly precise system.

The Perfect User Experience is Always in Focus

A smooth workflow whilst shooting is easily facilitated with swift access to frequently used functions in the control centre.
The system camera's high-resolution and tiltable display contribute to the user-friendly design, focused entirely on ease of use.
Additionally, the SL3's interface can be fully customised according to personal preferences.

Connectivity at the Highest Level

The functions of the SL3 have been developed in close cooperation with professionals. As a result, the camera features a variety of connectivity options for data transfer and wireless connectivity. These include slots for CFexpress Type B and SD UHS-II cards, a USB-C port, as well as a full-size HDMI output and a timecode interface. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ensure a stable and fast wireless connection.

Full-Frame Sensor with Triple Resolution Technology and Image Stabilisation

The Leica SL3's 60-megapixel sensor offers a dynamic range of up to 15 stops, 14-bit colour depth, and exceptionally good noise reduction, guaranteeing breath-taking images. Available in three different resolutions: 60, 36, and 18 megapixels, in both DNG and JPG formats. Its ISO sensitivity ranges from ISO 50 to ISO 100.000, ensuring outstanding results in all lighting conditions. Additionally, camera shake is efficiently compensated by the 5-axis image stabilisation (IBIS).

Maestro IV Processor

This state-of-the-art image processor ensures a fast and reliable operation of the Leica SL3's photo and video applications. Optimised noise characteristics, rapid signal processing, and the unique Leica colour reproduction are just a few of the many aspects this high-performance processor with L2 technology brings to photography and videography, creating the unmistakable Leica look. Specifically for videographers, the Maestro IV supports the data transfer speed of the CFexpress Type B interface and the ability to record 8K videos and a range of highly efficient video codecs.

Precise Autofocus System

The SL3's autofocus system combines three technologies using efficient algorithms. Depending on the shooting situation, the interplay of phase detection (PDAF), depth map (Object Detection AF), and contrast detection (Contrast Detection AF) are optimally adjusted. As a result, the SL3 produces perfectly sharp images in any light. Intelligent subject recognition also supports the photography of dynamic scenes. The strengths of each technology are combined into a highly precise system that effortlessly meets all professional requirements.

High-Resolution EyeRes® Viewfinder

The eyepiece of the SL3's electronic viewfinder is meticulously crafted with high-quality coated glass lenses. This enables optimal display of the OLED displays' image inside with a resolution of 5.76 million pixels and up to 120 B/s. Allowing the exposure and composition to be reliably assessed in the Live Preview. Thanks to the integrated eye sensor, an automatic switch between the viewfinder and the Live-View display occurs when the camera is not held directly to the eye.
