Inspiration is the source of creativity. And the Leica D-Lux is the ideal
companion for capturing the most memorable moments of daily life.
Recording them with your own creative vision. Perfectly composed,
thanks to the high-resolution integrated viewfinder. As a high-perfor­mance Leica compact camera, it features an extremely fast lens with
a maximum aperture of f/1.7. In combination with its large sensor and
a zoom range of 24 to 75 mm (35 mm equivalent), it guarantees almost
boundless photographic opportunities. At the same time, the D-Lux is
simple and intuitive, thus offering enhanced inspiration and the free­dom to capture what is essential.

02 LEICA V-LUX

The beauty of life is always waiting to be discovered. The Leica V-Lux
is perfect for every kind of journey of discovery. The ideal composition
of every subject can quickly be assessed in its high-resolution view­finder. Speaking of speed: its autofocus is amazingly fast. Its new, large
sensor offers almost infinite opportunities for exploring the creative
possibilities of selective focus. An enormously broad range of photos,
from macro to extreme telephoto can be captured by its superb 25 to
400 mm (35 mm equivalent) super-zoom lens – photos as diverse as
life itself.

03 LEICA C

A stylish design outside and serious tech inside – the Leica C is a fas­cinating camera in more ways than one. In an elegant light gold or a
richly refined dark red lacquer finish, the extremely compact Leica C
is an eye-catcher in every respect. Thanks to an comprehensive range
of high-end features, the Leica C is suitable for almost any photograph­ic occasion and delivers sparkling pictures of exceptional quality. Plus,

The Leica C is irresistible, but it becomes an absolute must with its
range of extraordinary accessories.

LEICA D - LUX

Inspired by life.

The Leica D-Lux is the ideal companion for anyone who meets each new day with open eyes, perceives
photography as the art of observation, and discovers the extraordinary in everyday things. It awakens
curiosity and the desire to experiment and explore. It sharpens one’s vision for subjects and scenes and
inspires the creativity in everyone. It is an invitation to let go – to be guided by spontaneity and intuition –
and, in these things, embodies the perfect balance between performance, functionality, and size.

This Leica compact camera’s extremely fast lens promises endless creativity in the exploration of minimal
depth of field – for authentic pictures in natural color that reveal the essence of the art of photography. It
inspires you to see the details and the whole. The noteworthy in everyday life. The perfect that transcends
imperfection.

FAST AND FANTASTIC –

an incredibly fast, high­performance lens

Full-size view.

The Leica D-Lux features a Four Thirds-format sensor with a diagonal measurement that’s precisely
one-half the 35 mm format diagonal – very big for a compact camera. This guarantees sparkling
photos with the finest detail and very low background noise. And it makes imaginative exploration
of shallow depths of field all the more exciting.

Of all the Leica compact cameras, the D-Lux has one of the fastest lenses. Its Leica DC Vario­Summilux 10.9–34 mm f/1.7–2.8 ASPH. zoom lens (24 to 75 mm equivalent in 35 mm format)
is perfectly matched to its large sensor. With an impressive sensitivity range to ISO 25600 thanks
to especially large pixels, it makes the best of available light and delivers pictures in natural color
and with exceptional quality. Perfect for available-light photography and, thanks to a versatile
wide-to-moderate-telephoto zoom lens, it’s ideal for an almost infinite number of creative genres –
from portraits, landscapes, and architecture to macro and reportage, the classical domain of
Leica cameras.

LEICA D - LUX

BEAUTIFULLY SIMPLE:

form follows function

HIGH RESOLUTION – an im­pressive integrated viewfinder

Full-size view. Full-size view.

Even at first glance, the D-Lux reveals its heritage as a genuine Leica – classic elegance, time­less beauty, and special attention to simple and intuitive handling. As the prime consideration is
always the picture, and distractions must be kept to a minimum, the change between automatic
and manual modes is also satisfyingly simple. Even less experienced photographers can enjoy
the experience of immediate success – and seeing it brightly and clearly on the high-resolution
3" LCD monitor, even in bright sunlight. In an instant, anyone taking it in their hands feels and
sees the superior quality of its materials and finish. A robust, reliable camera for any occasion
and every day.

The ideal composition and framing of subjects and scenes is quickly accomplished with this ex­cellent integrated electronic viewfinder. Thanks to a high resolution of 2.8 megapixels, it delivers
a sharp, high-contrast image – even in bright conditions. Ingeniously, the viewfinder shows the
same exposure settings as they’re displayed on the monitor. Since it also offers individual diopter
compensation, the viewfinder can be used by eyeglass wearers with no limitations at all.

NO WIRES ATTACHED

MOVING MEMORIES in
high-resolution 4K format

It’s not only the looks of the D-Lux that identifies it as a 21st century Leica: an integrated Wi-Fi
module provides remote control from a smartphone or tablet, which is particularly useful when the
photographer wants to be in the picture. The Leica C Image Shuttle app required for this function
can be downloaded free of charge and installed on iOS or Android devices. And that’s not all: pho­tos and videos can be transferred from the camera via wireless LAN. An integrated NFC (near field
communication) module quickly and easily sets up a Wi-Fi connection with an NFC-compatible
smartphone when the phone is held close to the camera.

Sometimes videos say more than pictures. The Leica D-Lux is ideally prepared to capture such
moments – on video in 4K, the new high-definition digital recording format with four times the
resolution of full HD. Recording and saving videos is simplicity itself – and the quality is nothing
less than breathtaking. In fact, it’s so good that single video frames can be selected and saved
as high-res photos.

natural colors. In combination with the high speed of the lens, the sensor expands the creative

close-ups down to a distance of only 3 cm. With maximum apertures of f/2.8 (wide angle) and
f/4 (telephoto), its Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 9.1–146 mm f/2.8–4 ASPH. lens enables sharp and
crisply detailed exposures, even with distant subjects.
