It embraces a sense of style, cutting-edge technology, and the joy of living life as it happens, appealing to the unique individuals who photograph with it.

Technology at its Core:

At the heart of the Leica Q3 lies a new Back-Side Illuminated, full frame CMOS sensor with Triple-Resolution Technology. With resolution options of 60, 36, or 18 MP, this camera allows users to create raw images in the DNG format and process JPEG files with stunning results straight out of the camera. The Leica Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens, an optical masterpiece, offers a minimum focusing distance of 17 cm and an integrated macro mode, enabling close-up shots. Additionally, the 3rd generation Q family member boasts an extended digital zoom, allowing users to explore focal lengths of 28, 35, 50, 75, and 90 mm.

Perfecting the Shot:

The Leica Q3 introduces two practical assistants: Leica Perspective Control (LPC) and Leica Dynamic Range (LDR). These innovative features ensure flawless JPEG images without the need for post-processing. With LPC, photographers can adjust perspective distortion directly in-camera, eliminating the need for complex editing techniques. LDR optimizes the dynamic range, preserving details in both highlights and shadows. These built-in tools empower photographers to capture stunning images with minimal effort.

Enhanced Viewing Experience:

The Leica Q3 comes equipped with a tiltable 3-inch high-resolution touchscreen display. This feature incorporates a high-quality tilting mechanism, providing unique viewing angles and expanding creative possibilities for both photography and videography. Moreover, the camera maintains its durability with an IP52 certification, offering protection against dust and spray water, even with the movable display.

The Leica Q3 takes connectivity to new heights, enabling seamless integration with the Leica FOTOS app. With a stable connection and high data transfer rates, users can effortlessly load videos from the camera to their smartphones. Additionally, the app allows for the import of special ‘Leica Looks’ directly onto the camera, enhancing the creative potential of JPEG images. Users can control the camera remotely through the app, further expanding their shooting capabilities. The Leica FOTOS app also facilitates easy sharing of imported images directly to social media platforms or third-party apps for additional editing, providing a streamlined workflow for content creators.
