Moments Without Limits
Photography freezes the perfect moment in time, while cinema brings it vividly to life. With the Leica SL3-S, you can seamlessly bridge both worlds, capturing every creative vision with unmatched precision and quality.
Creativity Without Limits
The Leica SL3-S raises the bar for creativity, combining professional-grade performance with the iconic Leica design. Featuring fast autofocus, the powerful Maestro IV processor, and an intuitive interface, it meets the demands of modern creators. Boasting 6K open-gate video recording and enhanced video features, the SL3-S delivers high-quality visuals for bold, innovative storytelling.
Speed You Can Rely On
Every second matters. With its lightning-fast autofocus, seamless handling, and advanced connectivity, the Leica SL3-S is engineered to deliver speed and reliability in any situation.
Advanced Autofocus
Capable of continuous shooting at 30 frames per second with full autofocus, the Leica SL3-S is the fastest Leica camera to date. Using a combination of phase detection, contrast detection, object tracking, and refined algorithms, it ensures consistent, precise subject recognition for every shot.
Seamless Operation
Switch effortlessly between still photography and video with a well-organized menu system that clearly separates the two modes. A fully customizable interface and multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, provide unparalleled versatility. Use the Leica FOTOS app to control your camera, transfer files, and enhance your workflow with ease.
State-of-the-Art Sensor
The 24MP BSI CMOS full-frame sensor at the heart of the SL3-S ensures exceptional image quality, even in low light. Supported by the Maestro IV processor, it delivers efficient image stabilisation, low noise, and a wide dynamic range. Capture fine details with handheld multishot modes of up to 96MP and enjoy rapid data transfer through CFexpress type B cards for 6K video recording.
A Hybrid for Every Need
The Leica SL3-S excels in both photography and video. Offering 6K RAW recording and open-gate 3:2 video, it uses the entire sensor for maximum flexibility during post-production. Professional codecs and the L-Log colour profile ensure visually stunning results for every project.
The hybrid camera from Leica
The SL3-S is particularly strong when it comes to video production: 6K recording in RAW format via HDMI is no problem. Videos and photography have an equally convincing look and level of detail – perfect for elevated and uncompromising productions. Because framing is every bit as important as the look, open-gate recording in 3:2 allows the entire sensor range to be used instead of the classic 16:9. This increases flexibility during editing. Format adaptations remain clear and top quality as a result.
The feel of a Leica
If you have ever held a Leica in your hands, you can appreciate balanced ergonomics and know what premium quality feels like. When you take your eyes off the display and look through the viewfinder, your subject is crystal clear for you to compose perfectly thanks to the sophisticated optical system and 5.76 million pixels.
A look at the menu
The menu switches between portrait and landscape view depending on the camera’s orientation. Video and photo modes are visually separate, allowing you to keep your bearings whatever the situation. The GUI is also customisable, permitting you to adapt every detail of the camera to your workflow.
Digital workflow
The powerful connectivity of the SL3-S will take your workflow to the next level. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with MIMO technology provide a stable and fast connection to the Leica FOTOS App. This allows you to transfer DNG images and videos in seconds, control your camera via your mobile device, install firmware updates, and apply Leica Looks presets to your JPG images directly. A very special update is planned for 2025: the integration of Camera to Cloud technology via frame.io in the SL3-S. This allows you to share data directly from the set with third parties for consultation or further editing.
Connections
The SL3-S can be integrated in any setup. It includes numerous interfaces, such as CFexpress type B, SD UHS-II, HDMI type A, timecode with synchronisation of image and sound as well as USB-C. This allows the camera to be connected with recording devices, microphones, hard drives and – as a certified Apple accessory – with the iPhone® or iPad®. The SL3-S provides even more flexibility via Tethered Shooting with Capture One. Limitless possibilities for a professional workflow.
Made for professionals
Leica Content Credentials
As a partner of the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), we are proud to be able to protect the valuable work of artists. This is true for the SL3-S as well. It is the first SL-System camera equipped with content credentials technology. If required, images are signed in a tamper-proof manner with metadata about the camera model as well as creation and editing information. This image content as well as image editing can be checked at any time with freely available verification tools like verify.contentauthenticity.org. A token of our appreciation for your creative work.
