LEICA minilux The luxury of powerful optics plus great creative
freedom : A dream for particularly demanding photographers.
High-grade materials
The titanium body with leather-covered
handling surfaces and a tripod socket are
exemplary proof of the extraordinarily high
quality demands that Leica places on all
the materials and finishes. The metal film
channel, for instance, assures the flatness
of the film with an accuracy of one hun-
dredth of a millimeter. High-grade optical
glasses are used for the complex manu-
facture of the lens.
Take pictures like a pro The LEICA minilux is the optimal tool for extracting the very best from
every subject. As a fully automatic compact camera, it stands out because its performance is mark-
edly above this class. The decisive feature is undoubtedly its fast high-performance lens that
delivers brilliant pictures even under difficult light conditions. Sharpness and contrast are additional
plus points that have been honored with numerous awards, so that professional photographers
gladly reach for this unusual camera.
Capture sequences Record fleeting events in the form of sequences right from the start : just keep the shutter release button
pressed and the LEICA minilux will promptly take another picture, so that you can get up to 4 pictures in sequence.
Informative viewfinder The clear and bright viewfinder shows everything that is necessary for a successful exposure : markings for
autofocus, exposure, close-up range and panorama cropping. Two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) signal focusing, exposure metering
and flash readiness.
Complete information in view
The LC display provides a quick overview
by means of display figures for shutter
speed and aperture, battery condition,
exposure counter, time exposures,
selftimer, flash function and exposure
correction.
Convenient handling
With the focusing wheel, you have every-
thing under control : Switching the camera
on and off, setting the aperture and the
distance when you select manual focusing.
That way you can always implement your
creative decisions with judicious control.
Automatic exposure control with creative input possibilities The precise programmed automatic ex-
posure control assures the correct exposure and if you wish, the flash activates itself automatically when
the ambient light is too low. However, if you wish to use the depth of field deliberately for composition
purposes, simply pre-set the aperture and the automatic shutter speed control will select the perfect
exposure time for that setting. The flash can be switched off or it can be added intentionally, perhaps to
enhance a portrait of a person standing in shaded area in front of a bright background.
Automatic or manual ? The LEICA minilux offers you all the amenities of a fully automatic camera, along with the option of
judiciously implementing your own photographic ideas at any time :
Autofocus or manual focusing When you want to react quickly and to take good photographs
conveniently, the autofocus is there for you with pinpoint accurate focusing from 70cm
(2ft 3
1
⁄
2
in) to infinity. By gently pressing the shutter release button partway, you can lock the
focus- and the exposure settings as needed, so that you can then calmly select the best cropping.
And when reflections or objects interfere with the automatic focusing, for instance when photo-
graphing a window display, you can set the distance manually and thereby establish the desired
range of sharpness.
