Leica SL3-P
All That Matters
The demands of modern photography and videography are as diverse as the individuals involved. Sometimes it's about speed, sometimes resolution and sometimes robustness. And sometimes all of these factors are important. Ultimately, however, one thing matters above all else: trust. In your camera, and in yourself. The certainty of achieving exactly what you envisage without a second thought.
The Leica SL3-P - Developed Precisely for This Purpose
As the most comprehensive camera in the SL-System to date, the SL3-P offers everything you need for clear, confident image composition. From 44 MP resolution, improved hybrid autofocus, 8K video capabilities and intuitive operation to the exceptional build quality with IP54 protection.
Consistent in Character
The Leica SL3-P is manufactured in Germany and designed for durability in terms of both technology and build quality. Built around a robust full-metal body, IP54 protection, continuous firmware updates and the L-Mount, it is a system designed to grow with your ambitions. Its minimalist design takes a deliberately understated approach to aesthetics, setting it apart from the crowd. Even without the red Leica logo, it remains unmistakably a Leica with its black control elements and confident design language - and thanks to its exceptional handling, you can experience it as such.
Efficient Workflow
The Leica SL3-P integrates seamlessly into your creative process, from shooting to post-production. It connects directly to smartphones and tablets via the Leica FOTOS App for remote control, fast data transfer, geotagging and firmware updates. Camera-to-Cloud with Adobe Frame.io, as well as native tethering for Capture One and Lightroom Classic, ensure efficient communication with the set, studio and post-production teams. Leica Looks presets enable you to achieve consistent image styles from the moment you start shooting. With Leica Content Credentials, your work remains uniquely yours even after capture. This technology verifies the origin and authorship of digital images, thereby enhancing transparency and trust in their authenticity.
Hybrid Autofocus and Subject Recognition
Hybrid means no compromises. The SL3-P uses a hybrid autofocus (AF) system that combines phase detection, contrast detection and depth mapping, and has 819 phase-detection AF points. AFs, AFc and Intelligent AF are available with the Spot, Field, Zone and Multi-field focusing methods. Tracking can be adjusted separately, and the fields and zones can be moved and scaled. Automatic subject recognition uses machine learning to detect people (eyes, face, body), animals and vehicles, as well as vehicle details, if desired. In continuous shooting mode, the camera can achieve up to 40 fps at 12-bit with continuous autofocus. Magnification and focus peaking are available to make manual focusing more convenient.
Electronic Viewfinder and Displays
Precision starts in the viewfinder. The SL3-P's electronic viewfinder features an OLED display with a resolution of 5.76 million pixels, operating at either 60 or 120 fps. The viewfinder has a magnification of 0.76x in 3:2 format and provides 100 per cent field of view coverage. The optical glass eyepiece and virtually lag-free display provide an authentic image even during fast panning or when shooting moving subjects. The viewfinder is complemented by a 3.2-inch touchscreen monitor on the rear with 2.33 million pixels, and a top status display showing key parameters.
Leica L-Mount
A lens standard offering endless possibilities. The L-Mount, developed by Leica, is an open and future-proof bayonet standard for cameras and lenses from various partners in the L-Mount Alliance.
Video Formats, Codecs and LUTs
For internal recording, MOV and MP4 are available in H.264 and H.265, as well as ProRes. Apple ProRes can be used for internal recording up to 5.8K. Internally, the camera offers either 8-bit or 10-bit recording, depending on the mode. It can output 10-bit signals via an HDMI 2.1 Type A port. The camera also supports HDMI RAW in 8K open gate. L-Log and HLG are available as image profiles, and Rec.709 and Rec.2020 color spaces are supported. Leica Pure, Leica Cine and custom profiles can be used as LUTs for previewing and assessing the look, while False Color supports exposure control directly in the image.
Interfaces and Storage Media
The SL3-P features both an SD card slot (UHS-II/UHS-I) and a CFexpress Type B slot. Connectivity options include HDMI 2.1 Type A and USB-C 3.1 Gen2, which provides up to 10 Gbit/s for tethering, data transfer and power supply. Furthermore, there is a 3.5 mm microphone input, a 3.5 mm headphone output and a sync/timecode socket. It also features an ISO accessory shoe and an interface for the multifunction handgrip.
