Stylish
design
The design of the D-Lux 3 is
totally in keeping with Leica tradition: pure, discreet, timeless -
in a housing of high-quality aluminum.
Always on the move
The
D-Lux 3 is so light, compact and unobtrusive that there's no reason
why you should leave it at home. Small as it is, it's a great
performer: three file formats - from simple JPEG to the RAW format
rarely offered in this class of camera - ensure optimum image
quality for further processing as well. The image stabilizer (O.I.S.)
leads to sharply focused images even in situations where there's not
really enough natural light. The camera is also perfect for
digiscoping - taking photographs through a spotting scope - to
capture the fascination of nature at close range.
Plenty of scope for
creativity
The
D-Lux 3 still gives the photographer the freedom to create his own
view of the world without any automatic settings. The 16:9 picture
format with the full resolution of over 10 megapixels produces
fantastic images for frame-filling viewing on HDTV equipment. The
brilliant 2.8" display also has an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Leica DC Vario-Elmarit
ASPH zoom lens - Leica DLux 3 lens
The high-performance Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 1:2.8-4.9/28-112 ASPH zoom
lens comprises nine lenses in eight groups. With a maximum aperture of
2.8, the Leica D-Lux 3 offers versatile picture composition
possibilities for brilliant photos with true-to-life colors. The
optics are individually matched to the camera sensor. Together with
the electronics and software, this enables picture quality with
true-to-life colors, excellent sharpness and high brilliance. In
relation to color matching, contrast and picture definition, Leica
Camera has developed its own profile. This is oriented to the picture
characteristics that are well known to Leica System Camera customers
from their use in combination with professional film materials and
specialist development laboratories.
Leica D-Lux 3 compact camera - 10 megapixels
Further security for a successful picture is derived from the integral
protection against camera shake (O.I.S.), which can be switched on and
off at any time. This reliably protects against camera shake in all
photographic situations, since small movements of the hand are
systematically compensated. Whether at twilight, during indoor shots,
for snapshots or in zoom operation, the result is always a sharp
picture without the need for a tripod. The user can operate a
changeover lever on the lens at any time to change the side ratio of
the photo to any one of three picture formats. Depending on the
picture format selected, the resolution varies from 10 MP (16:9), 8 MP
(4:3 format) and 7 MP in the classic 3:2 Leica format.
Leica D-Lux3 digital
camera - Battery
The 2.8“ camera display supports the picture format in the 16:9 side
ratio and for the first time it shows complete pictures in wide
format. With a resolution of 207,000 pixels, it creates an
exceptionally brilliant display and enables photographers to make a
reliable and exact assessment of the picture composition both when
taking the photo and when reviewing it. To reduce the load on the
rechargeable battery, the display can also be switched to a darker
low-energy mode, without having to sacrifice the outstanding picture
quality.
Leica D-Lux 3 digiscoping - Televid scope
With its technical features, the Leica D-Lux 3 is also optimally
suited for use in digiscoping – photography through a scope. A Leica
digital adapter allows the compact camera to be attached to the
eyepiece of a Leica Televid scope and thus becomes a camera with an
extremely long focal length range for keen birdwatchers and
naturalists. The event being watched can be captured in a digital
picture that fills the format in impressive quality without vignetting.
The large 2.8" monitor of the Leica D-Lux 3 is outstandingly suitable
for assessing the section while digiscoping, even for several people
and also for assessing the picture composition. The optical picture
stabilization gives shake-free pictures of the natural world even in
poor lighting and extreme conditions. This combined with the quick
response time of the shutter are just what are required for a
spontaneous picture.

camera body - Design
The Leica D-Lux 3 is characterized by its clear and concentrated
design. The straight-line layout and the reduction to the essentials
show the camera’s typical Leica lineage. The Leica D-Lux 3 offers
clear functions and is intuitive and secure in use, thanks to the
simple operating concept. A joystick on the rear of the camera
simplifies manual focussing. The Leica D-Lux 3 has an aluminium metal
body. The quality of machining lays great emphasis even on small
details. The exclusive use of high-quality materials is the basis for
a reliable and robust product in use.
