LEICA minilux zoom Capture natural moods and render your
subjects with perfection : The small one with the big zoom accomplishes
it – with outstanding image quality !
Titanium at its best
Not only is it handsome, it is also de-
pendable : Both robust and compact,
the timelessly elegant titanium body
makes the LEICA minilux zoom a perfect
companion.
Individual composition The way to successful creative picture compositions : Using measured
value storage, you can also assign sharpness and exposure to subjects away from the center of
the picture, you can manually set the exposure for different sections of the picture or you can
manually adjust the exposure for very dark or very light subjects. The flash can be switched off
for mood scenes, or it can be activated as a pre-flash or a fill-in flash. As you wish it.
Powerful expansion Use the built-in flash or use the camera’s accessory shoe to attach the accessory LEICA CF flash unit :
to illuminate larger spaces or more distant subjects, or to reduce the unpleasant red-eye effect. A remote cable release and
a panorama adapter are additional useful accessories.
A lens of the very best kind
Decades of experience, sophisticated com-
puter programs and high-grade optical
glasses led to the fastest zoom lens of all
on Leica compact cameras. It stands up
to the comparison to the famous lenses for
Leica R and Leica M cameras and it covers
the full range from a medium wide-angle
lens to a short telephoto lens.
Ready at all times
No matter whether you use the accurate
automatic controls or your own manual
settings, you are always ready for a quick
photograph. You can store specific function
combinations to be in effect for a number
of exposures and you can also store them
permanently. The camera’s display informs
you comprehensively at all times of all the
selected parameters.
Precise controls The distance to the subject is established precisely by the active
infrared autofocus function, or if you prefer, you can set it manually yourself. In
conjunction with the center-weighted exposure metering function, the programmed
automatic exposure control produces well-balanced exposures. If you wish, the
built-in flash activates itself automatically in low light situations. With the “B” setting,
exposure times longer than 2 seconds are possible. With the “T” setting, you can
even make exposures without camera shake for up to 99 seconds. In this setting,
the flash is automatically switched off.
Universal lens You can rely on this lens in any situation : with its range of focal lengths, you can
crop your pictures in a great variety of ways and the lens produces fantastic results even in low-light
situations.
