Sensor
The Leica M Monochrom has a 24-megapixel
resolution on a monochrom CMOS sensor similar
to the Leica M. As the M Monochrom has no
need for color filters, it needs no interpolation for
the calculation of luminance values. This results
in brilliant images which have 100% more details
and contrast than what is possible in color
photography
Up to ISO 25,000
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.
Full Visual Control with Live View
The high-resolution 3” monitor with 921,600 pixels
ensures that photographers have complete control of
composition, exposure, focusing and depth of field.
The Live View also offers two additional focusing
methods. 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. In Live View Focus Peaking mode,
sharply focused edges in the image are highlighted
by colored lines.
Full HD Video in Black and White
The new Leica M Monochrom captures high-quality,
full-HD video in black and white. With the optional
Leica microphone adapter set, one can be assured of
perfect sound.
Sapphire
2 GB Buffer Memory
With it’s high-capacity 2GB buffer memory and Leica
Maestro processor, the camera captures sequences 3 times
faster than its predecessor. In addition, the new processor
enables extremely fast display of the captured images in
review mode.
Sapphire Crystal Glass
The LC display is made of scratch-resistant
and almost unbreakable sapphire crystal
which has been treated with an antireflective
protective coating that ensures that
photographers can check their images in any
lighting situation.
2 GB Buffer Memory
With it’s high-capacity 2GB buffer memory and Leica
Maestro processor, the camera captures sequences 3 times
faster than its predecessor. In addition, the new processor
enables extremely fast display of the captured images in
review mode.
Filters
Three new filters in E39 and E46 will be available for use
with the Leica M Monochrom from July 2015. By
influencing the conversion of colors to greyscale values,
yellow, green and orange lens filters offer new opportunities
for exploring creative effects with light and contrast. The
use of color filters is effective for creating unusual moods in
landscapes, portraits and other genres of photography. At
the same time, multilayer coating reduces reflections and
ensures high transmission.
Accessories
All current M accessories for the Leica M (Typ 240) can be used with the Leica M Monochrom. These accessories
include finger loops, electronic view finder, ever-ready cases, flash and straps. In addition, R-lenses can be used on
the Leica M Monochrom with the Leica M-Adapter-R.
