The LEICA DIGILUX 2
New approaches to digital photography
Large viewfinder image
The high-resolution electronic viewfinder
was chosen over an optical viewfinder:
All display indicators as well as the
electronic magnifier are available in the
viewfinder. The viewfinder image with its
235,000 pixels delivers the same 100 %
of the subject being photographed as
the display.
Distinctive feature
The fast LEICA DC VARIO-SUMMICRON
7–22.5 mm f/2.0–2.4 ASPH. zoom lens
(which corresponds to a 28–90 mm
zoom lens on a 35 mm camera) offers
great photographic latitude. From a
large wide-angle shot of a group or an
architectural subject, all the way to an
ideal focal length in the short telephoto
range for portraits. Thanks to the large
aperture, outstanding pictures can be
achieved at all zoom settings, even in
decidedly poor light conditions.
Stay in control
The clean design elegantly incorporates a
2.5"–display with a detail-rich resolution
of 211,000 pixels that is exceptionally
large and brilliant for this class. Contrast
is high and the image on the display
permits optimal evaluation, even at an
angle. An electronic magnifier facilitates
exact manual focusing.
Simple familiar operation
The classic operating elements are
arranged in a clear manner and similarly
to the accustomed 35 mm cameras. In
conjunction with comfortable automatic
funtions, they allow precise and quick
operation of the camera. Because of the
familiar positioning of the controls, analog
photographers will become accustomed
to the new camera very quickly. Our goal
is to bring the traditional photographic
experience to the digital world.
For comprehensive reportage
A 64 MB SD-Memory Card makes high
mobility possible without the need for
changing the card. This means that
5 brilliant pictures in the RAW format
without compression or up to 484
pictures at the lowest resolution and
highest compression can be stored on
this memory card. And the powerful
lithium battery provides continuous
operating readiness for up to 3 hours.
