The 1-inch sensor of the Leica C-Lux delivers outstanding picture quality and makes it the clear winner in its category. Its 20-megapixel resolution delivers brilliant pictures in RAW or JPEG format.

The quality of pictures taken with the C-Lux is therefore just as amazing when you see them in large format prints. With its high resolution and a sensitivity range up to ISO 25600, the top-of-the-class camera is ideally prepared for every imaginable lighting situation.

Always at the right moment

Instantaneously sharp autofocus

Capturing the perfect moment needs a steady hand – and speed. With instantaneously sharp autofocus and face detection, the Leica C-Lux is absolutely ideal for capturing unexpected situations.

Thanks to its fast autofocus with 49 metering points, subjects are focused sharply in an instant and a continuous shooting rate of 10 frames per second ensures that you’ll never miss even the most fleeting moment.

Intuitively selectable scene modes provides valuable assistance when shooting landscapes, portraits or at night, and give you the freedom to concentrate entirely on your subject.

Everything under control

Integrated digital viewfinder

Thanks to the integrated digital viewfinder, you immediately have the part of your subject you want to capture in your sights.

Thanks to the viewfinder’s high resolution of 2.33 megapixels, the clarity and contrast of the viewing image is outstanding at all times – even in particularly bright ambient light.

As the viewfinder covers 100% of the image field, framing of subjects is extremely precise and you have complete control of composition.

The C-Lux naturally also offers a range of dioptre compensation settings that allow unhindered use of the viewfinder by spectacle wearers.

Simple. Beautiful. Share.
