The Leica Q2 is a Large Digital Camera with a Full-Frame sensor. Its 47 Megapixels CMOS sensor offers an ISO 50-50000 sensitivity range which is expandable to ISO 50-50000. This makes it possible to shoot hand-held in very low-light. With 47 MP of resolution, sharp prints are possible up to at 240 DPI.
A builtin Image Stabilization mechanism allows the Leica Q2 to compensate for camera shake.
This camera features a hybrid shutter that can expose for 1/40000 to 1m. With a fastest shutter-speed of 1/40000, fast action can easily be frozen. Night photography is possible using this digital camera due to its long exposure capability. This camera model offers Full Manual Controls.
The Leica Q2 features a 225-point Contrast-Detect AF system. Autofocus can continuously adjust according to subject distance. A Real-Time Autofocus Tracking System allows focus to follow a moving subject within the frame. Manual Focus is also available.
Dual controls-dials offer direct access to most exposure parameters which makes this digital camera suitable for advanced photographers. The weatherproof construction of this digital camera protects it against adverse weather, dust and moisture. Framing on the Leica Q2 is performed via a 0.50" Built-in EVF with 3.7 Megapixels. This extra large EVF has 0.76X magnification and shows 100% coverage.
