Product Description
The Leica X1 is the direct beneficiary of 100-plus years of German engineering experience.
This elegant camera features a professional CMOS image sensor that's as large as those in high-quality SLRs. Combined with an outstanding Leica lens it captures brilliant images. It's conveniently compact, its controls are intuitive, and it offers a full range of sophisticated automatic functions.
The Leica Elmarit 24 mm f/2.8 ASPH. is a true Leica lens with terrific optical performance. When seen in terms of 35-mm film format, it has a focal length of 35mm (the focal length that is considered to be a classic for reportage photography).
You can choose the easy way and let the camera take the lead over exposure or shutter settings in the automatic mode or switch over to manual controls by using the wheels on top of the camera. It allows you to keep full control for individual creative art work and at the same time provides the automatic mode to ensure the capability for quick response.
The autofocus of the X1 provides fast focusing and enables you to react in an instant. At the same time, the autofocus mode can be modified to suit the situation. When taking photos of people, face-recognition mode allows complete concentration on the composition and framing of the picture.
