Venus Engine III: Extraordinary Processing Power to Reproduce Even Nuances in Texture and Atmosphere
The Venus Engine III combines superb speed and precision
with low power consumption. Together with the Live MOS
sensor's low power consumption, this means more shooting
time between battery charges. Enjoy extended shooting
sessions without worrying about the battery, even while taking
advantage of the L1's many digital functions.
Low Power Consumption for More Shots and
Longer Shooting Sessions
Rich, Life-like Colors
The L1 noise-reduction system distinguishes luminance noise
from the chromatic noise that diminishes image quality, and
selectively targets the chromatic noise. Even when shooting at
a high ISO setting*, you can capture abundant detail and get
smooth, clear shots with minimal noise.
*The ISO setting ranges from
the standard ISO 100 level to the ultra high-sensitive ISO 1600.
Smooth, Expressive Photos with Less Noise
The L1 is built for spectacular high-speed shooting, with a
startup of only 0.8 second and burst shooting at 3 frames per
second. The shutter works as fast as you do. The L1 has
unlimited consecutive shooting. You can keep shooting until the
memory card is full, and choose the best shots later.
The Quick Response You Need to Catch Every Moment
The L1 features the Venus Engine III
LSI. This new image-processing LSI
precisely reproduces the magnificent
images that are captured by the Leica
D lens and sent to the Live MOS sensor.
Its color expression maximizes the
beauty of the original image to produce
highly natural picture quality. This superb level of performance
makes the Venus Engine III an ideal match for the digital SLR camera.
The L1 introduces a new Film mode function that lets you select
from several different image looks according to the subject you're
shooting and your creative intent. When shooting in color, you can
choose from Standard, Dynamic, Nature, and Smooth. With black
and white, you can choose from Standard,
Dynamic, and Smooth. You can also adjust the
contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise
reduction levels, to reproduce exactly the mood
and atmosphere you want. With these
functions, the L1 is a digital camera that gives
you the same kind of flexibility and satisfaction
you enjoy when choosing film for a film camera.
A Variety of Light Metering Methods and
Focusing Areas to Match Your Shooting Needs
Three light metering methods let you read delicate lighting
differences and accurately match shooting conditions. Use
Intelligent Multiple light metering to divide the image frame
into 49 blocks for multiple-zone light measurement. Or choose
either Center Weighted or Spot light metering. As for the
focusing area, the auto focus system employs a TTL phase
difference detection system with three measuring points
across a wide image area. You can also specify a particular
point as the focal point. This can be useful in certain shooting
situations or shooting techniques.
Choose from five flash settings, or use Bounce
Lighting or 1st Curtain/2nd Curtain Sync.
Exposure can be adjusted ±2 EV in 1/3 EV
steps. A hot shoe is provided. L1 compatible
flashes (sold separately) allow TTL auto
adjustment. The new FP Lighting function also
synchronizes the flash at the lightning shutter
speed of 1/4000 sec. This greatly expands
shooting possibilities by allowing more
versatile and precise lighting control.
