From Leica:
As slimly built as an analogue M
Many photographers wished
for a return to the dimensions and ideal ergonomics of analogue M models. Leica
has taken note of these wishes: the dimensions of the M10 are now identical to
those of analogue M-Cameras. The Leica M10 is the slimmest digital M of all
time.
ISO setting range extended from 100 to 50,000
The new sensor design of
the Leica M10 has made it possible to extend the ISO sensitivity range to
values between 100 and 50,000 and also brings significantly improved noise
characteristics in exposures captured at higher ISO values. The Leica M10 opens
up entirely new areas of photography and delivers exceptional imaging
performance even in difficult lighting conditions.
ISO setting dial for better control
One of the most striking
changes in the case of the Leica M10 is the ISO setting dial on the top plate.
For the first time in a digital M, the M10 allows all essential shooting
parameters such as distance, aperture, exposure time and ISO values to be
preselected without using the menu – or even switching on the camera. For even
better control and even more discreet photography.
Leaner handling concept
With a handling concept
reduced to the currently achievable minimum, the Leica M10 takes a further step
in the direction of absolute perfection. Every single component and every
technical solution in the Leica M10 concentrates uncompromisingly on
photography. For instance, there are only three buttons on the back of the
camera: Review, Live-View and Menu.
The improved viewfinder lets you see more
From the very beginning,
the ‘Messsucher’ (combined rangefinder/viewfinder) of the Leica M played an
essential role. So essential that it gave the system its name; the ‘M‘ stands
for ‘Messsucher’. For the Leica M10, several important aspects of this
legendary combined viewfinder and rangefinder system have now been further
improved. To improve the view of the subject, the field of view has been
enlarged by 30% and the magnification factor has been increased 0.73. In
addition to this, the eye-relief distance has also been significantly
increased. Thanks to a 50% increase in this distance, the viewfinder is much
more convenient to use, particularly for photographers who wear glasses.
Fast continuous shooting Up to 5 frames per second
Thanks to a 2 GB buffer
memory and sequential shooting at up to five frames per second at full
resolution, photographers will never again miss the decisive moment.
The new Maestro-II processor takes the M10 to the next
quality level
The latest-generation
Leica Maestro-II image processor of the Leica M10 reflects the state-of-the-art
of advanced processor technology. In combination with the new 24 MP sensor,
this ensures that all exposures fulfil the promise made by Leica: pictures that
captivate with exceptional quality and brilliance. As a result, the Leica M10
delivers images with low digital noise levels and true-to-life detail, even at
ISO values as high as 50,000.
Superior imaging performance thanks to a new 24 MP
sensor
The key component of the
Leica M10 is the 24 MP, full-frame CMOS sensor developed especially for the
camera. It features new technologies that lead to significant improvements in
all parameters relevant to imaging performance: impressive dynamic range,
excellent contrast rendition, exceptional sharpness and finest resolution of
details.
Perfectly equipped to withstand light showers, dust
& Co.
Thanks to components
machined from solid brass, the high strength of the M-10’s full-metal,
magnesium alloy chassis and scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass, is built
to effortlessly resist the adversities of everyday life guaranteeing enduring
pleasure to the photographers. Further
protection against light showers, dust and bad weather is provided by special
rubber seals.
As you like it: the ‘Favorites’ menu
The importance of
particular settings varies according to personal preferences and photographic
needs. To cater for these, the Leica M10 offers a programmable ‘Favorites’
menu. In this menu, the photographer defines personal preferences for the
relevant parameters and can later access them at the press of a button. The
settings can be easily changed.
Wireless communication with the M-App and WLAN connectivity
The Leica M10 is the first
M-Camera with an integrated WLAN module. This allows pictures to be sent
conveniently to iOS devices wireless and shared online. It also enables remote
control of the Leica M10 by WLAN with a smartphone and the Leica M-App. If required,
important parameters like the shutter speed or functions like releasing the
shutter can also be controlled from the smartphone. This makes it easy to shoot
from unusual angles and avoid camera shake when shooting with longer shutter
speeds.
Focusing with Focus Peaking
Focusing made easy: The
Live View function of the Leica M10 offers two convenient focusing method.
Focus Peaking automatically marks sharply focused edges as coloured lines and
Live View offers the ability to magnify the subject on the monitor screen. In the
Leica M10, the visibility of these contrasting lines has been improved against
the previous generation and now enables even more convenient focusing
assessment to ensure images with outstanding sharpness.
Sustainability always in focus
Leica has been making
history for decades – with cameras that have always been ahead of their times.
Throughout all these years, Leica has always kept a tight focus on
sustainability. In the 1950s, Leica created a timeless and enduring standard –
the Leica M-Bayonet: almost all M-Lenses produced ever since can be mounted and
used on today’s Leica M10. Our optical instruments are timeless and faithful
companions with enduring reliability and an exceptionally long life.
Compatibility with the Leica Visoflex and R-Lenses
The combination of the
Leica R-Adapter and the Leica Visoflex 2.4 MP electronic accessory viewfinder
makes it possible to use almost all Leica R-Lenses on the M10. In addition to
this, the advanced loupe function enabled by the processor can now be freely
positioned on any part of the viewfinder image for even better assessment of
sharpness when shooting with Leica R-Lenses.
