LEICA’S Q3 IS THE ULTIMATE COMPACT FULL-FRAME CAMERA

- By Alvin Uy

Leica Store Manila recently unveiled the new Leica Q3, its compact full-frame camera known for its high level of connectivi­ty and communicat­ion, sans any compromise in photograph­ic and cinematic imaging performanc­e expected of a Leica. Its compact frame makes it easy handling enables anyone to produce images and videos of breath-taking quality.

This is a camera that integrates easily, naturally, and intuitivel­y into their creative everyday life. It has some much firepower with its photo and video features that’s engineered to provide creative visions and create extraordin­ary content for social media that can easily be shared across their channels.

The Q3 uses a new BSICMOS sensor with Triple-Resolution-Technology, with images of varyig resolution­s that can be created using the DNG format and processed JPEG files with a perfect look straight out of camera. Its fast Leica Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH lens is an optical masterpiec­e.

Another useful social media-savvy feature is its new tiltable 3-inch high-resolution touchscree­n with a high-quality tilting mechanism that allows unique viewing angles and creates even more creative opportunit­ies when taking photos and videos. The Q3 is “Made for iPhone and iPad” certified and seamlessly integrates into the Apple Eco

System with the included Leica FOTOS cable. Its entirely wireless charging is also now possible with the new Leica Charging Pad and separate camera handgrip. This stylish charging pad convenient­ly recharges the new powerful battery of the Q3 and many other Qi-compatible devices.

With a stable connection and high data transfer rates to the Leica Fotos app, videos can now be loaded from the camera to a smartphone, or special ‘Leica Looks’ can be imported onto the camera for beautiful JPEG images. The camera can also be controlled using the app and imported images can be shared directly to social media or to third-party apps for additional editing.

As a daily companion that compactly combines a sense for style, cutting-edge technology, and the joy of living life as it happens. Unique like the people who photograph with it.
