The Leica M is a digital full-frame 35 mm rangefinder camera. It was introduced by Leica Camera AG in September 2012, and is the successor to the Leica M9 range of cameras. The M uses a 24-megapixel image sensor. The camera is the first M model to feature movie recording,[2] and the first to have Live View, which allows the scene, as viewed through the lens, to be composed.[3] The M can use most M- and R-mount lenses. Leica M cameras are made by hand in Portugal and Germany.
The original M has been superseded by variants such as the Leica M (Typ 262).
Features
The M uses a CMOS 24-megapixel (6,000 × 4,000 pixels) image sensor designed for Leica by the Belgian company CMOSIS,[4] and made by STMicroelectronics in Grenoble.[4] The pixels are on a 6 x 6 µm² grid.
The M supports most M-mount lenses and, with an adapter, almost all R-mount lenses.[3] R-lenses support an optional electronic viewfinder.[3]
The camera uses a MAESTRO image/video processor[1] which is based on the Fujitsu Milbeaut.[5] It is sealed against dust and water spray.[3]
Release
The Leica M camera was introduced at the photokina event in Cologne, Germany on 17 September 2012.[6] The launch event included a "concert by recording artist—and Leica shooter—Seal".[6]
