The Leica SL3-P is a full-frame mirrorless camera designed with a hybrid autofocus system, 8K recording capabilities, and a 44.9MP sensor. It’s not an update to the SL3 or SL3-S, but rather a combination of the two. Key features include:
44.9MP BSI CMOS sensor; Hybrid AF system
0.78x-magnification EVF; 3.2-inch tilting rear touchscreen
Weather-resistant build; Customizable user interface
Individual CFexpress Type B & SD UHS-II memory slots
SL-Series Continued. Expand your still photography and videography in professional settings with the SL3-P from Leica! Combining the capabilities of the SL3 and SL3-S, this camera delivers stunning image quality, excellent low light capture, and dependable performance through a newly developed 44.9MP BSI CMOS sensor. Confidence in a hybrid camera is above all else—no sacrificing, no compromising. With 8K Open Gate recording capabilities, you’re able to capture the maximum amount of image data without losing access to cropping for cinematic widescreen, vertical social media content, or traditional 16:9 during post-production. In addition to 8K, the SL3-P offers native Apple ProRes for 5.8K, 8K at up to 30 frames per second, 5.9K recording at 60p and full-sensor 4K capture at 120p. All in all, you’ll find that the flexibility and dependability of the SL3-P sets it apart from the rest of the SL series.
P For Performance. This hybrid powerhouse’s sensor offers 14 stops of dynamic range that captures pristine highlight and shadow detail when working with extreme contrast, while a native 50 to 200,000 ISO range powers through challenging lighting conditions. Featuring Leica’s Double Resolution technology, you can choose between the 44.9MP or 26MP output without sacrificing the full sensor area. If you’re looking to carry a versatile, easy-to-use camera that performs sharply in both photo and video applications, this may be your answer!
Supersonic Autofocus. Okay, maybe not supersonic fast, but it is the fastest autofocusing we’ve seen from the SL series so far. Behind the scenes of this newly developed sensor is a tailored readout architecture that works an impressive 156% faster than its video- and photo-centric siblings. Not only does this improve the overall responsiveness of the SL3-P, it reduces rolling electronic shutter distortion during video capture and delivers 40 fps of continuous shooting. Versatility is expanded even further with the cutting-edge Multishot Mode, which captures more colors and spatial information by combining several aligned exposures. This is a perfect feature for product photography, architecture, design, and much more.
Flow With Your Work. A redesigned operating system completely separates photography and videography into their own dedicated workspaces, allowing you to switch seamlessly between to two without reconfiguring settings. The SL3-P’s display interface also features color-coded accents to distinguish photo and video shooting modes—red for photo, and yellow for video. When switching orientation, the display screen automatically rotates itself into your position to keep critical information at the forefront. Whether you’re shooting for commercial use or studio use, this camera seamlessly integrates into any workflow.
Connect and Create. It’s a hard feat keeping up with the overwhelming amount of technology being introduced within our world, which is why it isn’t a surprise that Leica has introduced native Camera-to-Cloud functionality through Adobe Frame.io. Overall improving workflow efficiency, this collaboration allows images and recordings to be sent straight to your post-production team, where they can start their edits while you continue in your element. Outside of Camera-to-Cloud, the SL3-P is also equipped with Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity to give you direct access to the Leica FOTOS App for iOS and Android!
Dependable Design. The full-metal construction of this camera offers a solid, reliable foundation to support a wide range of L-Mount lenses, from compact primes to professional telephoto zooms. No matter the weather, the IP54-rated designed carries you through rainy days and dusty nights. To further your connection opportunities, the SL3-P offers a full size HDMI-A port to monitor and record externally, a USB-C port for fast data transfer and tethered operation, and two 3.5mm jacks for microphone and headphone use.
Memory and Power. Alongside USB-C data transfer, this camera is equipped with dual memory card slots for one CFexpress Type B and one SD UHS-II card, which are available as separate rentals. The entire operation is powered through a single Leica BP-SCL6 Battery, and charged with the included Leica BC-SCL6 USB-C Dual Charger. We include one battery with this rental, but we always encourage you to grab a couple extras just in case!
