Leica Camera AG has unveiled the Leica SL3-S, the latest addition to its SL-System lineup. The SL3-S is the first SL-System camera to feature Content Credentials technology, aligning with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) to establish photo authentication and transparency.
The SL3-S includes a 24 MP BSI-CMOS full-frame sensor with Multi-Shot resolutions of 48 MP and 96 MP. With an ISO range of 50–200,000, the sensor delivers high dynamic range and consistent quality in various lighting conditions. Its advanced phase-detection autofocus system offers precise tracking and up to 30 fps continuous shooting.
The SL3-S uses Content Credentials technology, embedding secure metadata into images, such as camera details, author information, and editing history. The SL3-S supports up to 6K video recording with 3:2 Open Gate formats for greater versatility. It features ProRes 4:2:2HQ recording, HDMI RAW output, USB-C SSD recording, and a timecode interface for synchronization in professional workflows. Powered by the Maestro IV processor, the camera delivers precise color, wide dynamic range, and low noise in Leica’s L-Log color space.
The camera offers dual card slots for CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD cards, USB-C tethering, and full-size HDMI 2.1 output. Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi integrate seamlessly with the Leica FOTOS app for fast DNG image transfers. Certified under Apple’s “Made for iPhone and iPad” program, it connects directly to Apple devices.
The SL3-S works with Leica and L-Mount Alliance lenses. Adapters expand compatibility to cine lenses, supported by dedicated video settings. Its in-body stabilization, offering up to five stops, improves performance with Leica M lenses.
The SL3-S features a 3.2-inch tiltable touchscreen and a high-resolution EyeRes electronic viewfinder with a 120 fps refresh rate. The interface supports seamless transitions between photo and video modes. Compact and lightweight, it is designed for comfortable use during long sessions.
