Leica SL3-P – Black

Full-Frame Precision. Hybrid Power. Built for Complete Creative Control.

The Leica SL3-P is a professional full-frame system camera designed for photographers and filmmakers who need absolute reliability, high-resolution imaging, and advanced video capability in a robust, future-ready body. Combining Leica’s signature colour science with cutting-edge hybrid autofocus and 8K video performance, it delivers a streamlined tool built around precision and confidence.

High-Resolution Full-Frame Imaging

At its core, the SL3-P features a 44MP BSI full-frame CMOS sensor (no low-pass filter), delivering exceptional clarity, dynamic range, and low-light performance.

• Up to 14 stops of dynamic range

• ISO range up to 200,000 with Dual Base ISO

• Clean tonal gradation and natural colour rendering

• Optional Multishot mode up to 176MP for ultra-high-resolution output

This sensor is designed for maximum flexibility across commercial, portrait, landscape, and studio workflows.

Hybrid Autofocus with Intelligent Tracking

The SL3-P uses an advanced hybrid autofocus system combining phase detection, contrast detection, and depth mapping.

• Human, animal, and vehicle detection

• Intelligent subject tracking for fast-moving scenes

• Up to 40 fps continuous shooting with AF-C (12-bit)

• 5-axis in-body stabilisation up to 5 stops

• Focus peaking and magnification for manual precision

This system is built for reliability in demanding, fast-paced environments.

Professional 8K Video Capability

Designed as a true hybrid camera, the SL3-P supports high-end cinematic workflows.

• 8K open-gate (3:2) recording

• Up to 4K 120p slow motion

• 5.9K at 60p for smooth cinematic output

• Codecs: H.264, H.265, ProRes

• HDMI RAW output via HDMI 2.1 Type A

• Colour profiles: L-Log, HLG, Rec.709, Rec.2020

Open-gate recording enables maximum flexibility for reframing in post-production without changing angle of view.

Intuitive, Customisable Operation

The SL3-P is designed to feel immediate and adaptable from the first use.

• Fully customisable control layout and dials

• Separate configuration for photo and video workflows

• Colour-coded UI (red for photo, yellow for video)

• Auto-rotating interface for portrait and landscape use

• Tilting touchscreen for low and high-angle shooting

The system prioritises speed of access so you can stay focused on composition rather than menus.

Build Quality and Design

Manufactured in Germany, the SL3-P is built around durability and long-term professional use.

• Full metal body construction

• IP54 weather sealing

• Minimalist Leica industrial design

• Continuous firmware support and system updates

• L-Mount compatibility for cross-system lens flexibility

This is a camera designed to perform reliably in challenging environments.

Displays and Viewfinder

• 5.76MP OLED electronic viewfinder

• 100% field of view coverage

• 60 / 120 fps refresh rate

• 3.2-inch rear touchscreen (2.33MP)

• Top status display for key shooting data

The EVF is engineered for minimal lag and accurate real-time composition, even during fast motion.

Video & Workflow Integration

The SL3-P integrates into professional production pipelines with ease:

• Leica FOTOS app connectivity (remote control, transfer, geotagging)

• Adobe Frame.io cloud integration

• Native support for Capture One and Lightroom tethering

• Leica Looks for consistent in-camera colour profiles

• Leica Content Credentials for image authenticity verification

Storage & Connectivity

• CFexpress Type B + SD UHS-II dual card slots

• USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s)

• HDMI 2.1 output

• Microphone + headphone ports

• Timecode/sync interface

Designed for both studio and field workflows, the SL3-P supports high-speed data handling and professional video routing.

Summary

The Leica SL3-P is a high-performance full-frame hybrid camera built for professionals who need resolution, speed, and reliability in one system. With its 44MP sensor, 8K video capability, advanced hybrid autofocus, and fully customisable interface, it is designed to support demanding creative work across both photography and cinema production.
