Leica M-EV1

Description

Classic design, cutting-edge technology

The Leica M-EV1 maintains the iconic design of the Leica M-series cameras, with a solid metal body, mechanical controls, and an ergonomic layout that invites you to enjoy the photographic process. Its handcrafted construction ensures durability, reliability, and a timeless aesthetic that remains a benchmark among professional photographers.

Handcrafted and premium materials

Each Leica M-EV1 camera is assembled by hand, using high-quality materials such as magnesium alloys, aluminum, and textured leather. The result is a robust and elegant camera, designed to accompany the photographer throughout a lifetime of work.

60.3 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor

The Leica M-EV1 mirrorless camera features a full-frame sensor with BSI (Backside Illuminated) technology and Triple Resolution, allowing you to select between 60, 36, or 18 megapixels depending on the needs of each project. This flexibility allows you to prioritize resolution, dynamic range, or file size while maintaining accurate and natural color reproduction.

Leica Maestro III processor: speed and reliability

The Maestro III processor ensures a smooth workflow, with fast image processing and efficient image management even at maximum resolution. Combined with 64GB of internal memory, it allows for uninterrupted shooting and rapid transfer of large files.

High-definition electronic viewfinder

The 5.76 million-dot EVF offers a sharp, true-to-life display, showing exposure, color, and depth of field in real time. This viewfinder makes framing an intuitive process, ideal for both wide-angle and telephoto lenses.

Total control over composition and light

The Leica M-EV1's electronic viewfinder accurately displays the final result of the shot, including exposure and focus, before shooting. A diopter adjustment dial from -4 to +2 allows you to customize the viewing for eyeglass wearers, ensuring a comfortable and accurate experience.

Precision manual focus

True to the philosophy of the Leica M series, the Leica M-EV1 maintains manual focus, optimized with advanced digital tools. Focus peaking highlights the plane of focus with color contours, while digital zoom allows you to magnify the image in two steps for absolute precision in any situation.

Multifunction front lever

Inspired by classic M cameras, the front lever can be configured to activate digital zoom (1.3x or 1.8x) or focus assist. This integration of traditional design and modern functionality offers immediate tactile control.

Connectivity and professional workflow

The Leica M-EV1 Mirrorless Camera features built-in Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi, and GPS, making it easy to transfer images and sync with the Leica FOTOS app. Thanks to Bluetooth Low Energy technology, photos can be automatically sent to a mobile device without draining the battery.

Content Credentials Support

Leica incorporates support for Content Credentials, a system that digitally certifies the authenticity and metadata of each photograph, ensuring the integrity and traceability of professional images.

Intuitive control and high-resolution touchscreen

The 2.95-inch, 2.33 million-dot touchscreen LCD monitor offers precise control and smooth menu navigation, playback, and magnification. The built-in eye sensor automatically switches between the viewfinder and screen, facilitating a natural workflow.
