IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE LEICA X2
New developed APS-C CMOS Sensor with an effective Resolution of 16.1 Mega-Pixel
The CMOS image sensor of the Leica X2 in APS-C format is unusually large for such a
compact camera. The result: extremely low image noise, high dynamic range, and accurate
color differentiation. The combination of an exceedingly large sensor and high-performance
lens sets new standards in image quality in the compact camera category. And this is where the
Leica X2 shows its true greatness.
Classic Focal Length: Leica Elmarit 1:2.8/24 mm ASPH (35mm equivalent)
Countless iconic images in the history or photography were shot with a focal length of 35 mm –
the classic lens for photojournalism. The Leica Elmarit 24 mm/f2.8 ASPH lens is equivalent to
this famous focal length in 35 mm film format, with its superb optical performance opens up a
broad vista of potential uses.
Precise Auto Focusr
The Leica X2’S fast, new autofocus feature enables extremely precise and virtually silent
focusing. Perfect for situations where spontaneous reactions are essential to capture the right
moment. It adapts flexibly to the situation in hand, for example, with a choice AF focusing
segments or face recognition. This allows the photographer to concentrate exclusively on their
subject.
Design
The design of the Leica X2 also expresses Leica’s commitment to the essentials, thanks to its
compact size and classic finish. Reminiscent of the traditional Leica M-Design, the X2 becomes
an instant love affair – not just down to its captivating looks, but also the wonderful feel in your
hands. Once held, even for a moment, it becomes difficult to put down. The camera’s robustlyengineered,
full-metal chassis is reassuringly solid, while its leather trim is comfortable to the
touch and provides a perfect grip. The superior finish, using the most premium materials,
makes the Leica X2 a true pleasure to hold, but its ultimate qualities are revealed when the
photographer is shooting.
Most Simple Control
For simple snapshots or painstakingly arranged compositions – the Leica X2 is the ideal
camera for anyone with a passion for photography in its purest form. That’s because it enables
split-second changes between automatic and manual control. The robust dials on the top plate
allow easy setting of the shutter speed and aperture. Moreover, changing the plane of focus,
adjusting white balance, and other imaging parameters, allows photographers to consciously
influence the look or mood of their images. In live view mode, the generously-sized, highcontrast
2.7“LCD screen offers photographers constant control and a clear and detailed view,
even in bright conditions.
