EXCELLENCE
Numerous automatic functions make the Leica X1 extremely fast when speed is paramount. However, its
manual control options make it a lot more versatile. Both aperture and shutter speed can be selected
manually with easily set dials on the top deck of the camera. This enables the photographer to maintain
concentration on the creative aspects of composition. The precise focusing distance, white balance, and
various other image-capture parameters can also be set manually. The X1 offers complete control over
the creative process and a lightning-fast switch to automatic for rapid-reaction capability. Speed plus
versatility: simply brilliant.

The autofocus system built into the X1 provides fast, ultra-precise focusing, enabling photographers to
react in an instant. At the same time, the autofocus mode can be modified to suit the situation. Photogra-
phers have a choice of activating one or 11 AF segments and an additional high-speed mode for each.
When taking photos of people, face-recognition mode allows you to concentrate completely on composing
and framing the picture.

The LCD monitor couldn’t be bigger on a camera this size: the brilliantly bright 2.7-inch display of the X1
almost fills the entire back of the camera and reveals the finest details even in bright environments. The
live view function acts like an optical viewfinder, showing an accurate preview including all essential
image information. The live mode also makes the X1 particularly versatile for taking shots from unusual
perspectives.

With the Leica X1, the creative use of natural light is possible even in poor lighting conditions – its large-
format sensor performs admirably at its maximum sensitivity of ISO 3200, and its fast lens always collects
sufficient light. The X1’s tendency to minimize image noise means that image quality remains high long
after the twilight hours begin. It’s perfect for photographers who wish to remain unobtrusive and discreet
while capturing uniquely natural images.

Style change: for the next shots the hair/makeup stylist lends a hand again.
The world is constantly in motion. And that’s the way it should be. With the Leica X1 the photographer is endowed with
such flexibility that she or he can capture each situation and impression exactly as it is: authentic and unre-hearsed.
The autofocus zeroes in on the subject, the automatic exposure selects the best aperture and shutter speed, and the
array of automatic functions perform with flawless precision. Click! It all happens within a fraction of a second, if you
wish. But of course photographers can take control of the process at any moment, defining the parameters according
to their inspiration. Spontaneous or purposeful, the Leica X1 is always the right choice.
