The V-Lux 5 defines a new grade of all-rounder cameras with their multifarious application that excels in any scene from travel, sports to outdoor photography. This versatility comes through an extensive range of zoom lenses that covers all distances and subject matters.
Here`s a take on the new features it packs,
A completely new OLED viewfinder and a full-fledged touchscreen enable precise image composition with at most ease. The camera features a high-performance zoom lens and a newly developed larger sensor that ensures excellent imaging performance at all times.
It comes with a 20MP, 1-inch sensor that is capable of generating an exquisite level of details that is rich in saturation. These high-quality detail-rich images make it a perfect tool for life photographers. Besides the camera`s 20MP sensor, the DC Vario-Elmarit 9.1–146 f/2.8–4 ASPH lens (equivalent to 25 to 400 mm in 35 mm film format) delivers a classic performance throughout the entire zoom range, regardless of users shooting mode. A max aperture range of f/2.8 to f/4 delivers extreme wide-angle and telephoto settings with a max sensitivity of ISO 12800. It also dials down the shaky images with an integrated system of optical image stabilisation.
It also includes a state-of-the-art DFD (Depth from Defocus) technology, which helps the camera focus on a subject within 0.1 second. Additionally, features such as Post focusing, focus stacking, Face Recognition and 4K burst Mode offers a range of flexibility for seasoned professionals.
The Leica V-Lux 5 not only excels in photography but also shines through with its high-quality videography. The ability to capture true-to-life video in 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) at frame rates of 24, 25 or 30 frames per second or full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) at 60 frames per second opens a sea full of opportunity for creative content creators.
In terms of connectivity, the Leica V-Lux 5 comes with Bluetooth support, which helps you connect the camera to your iOS or Android smartphone.
