Camera Overview — Leica C (Typ112)

The Leica C (Typ112) is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/1.7-inch sensor that delivers a maximum still resolution of 4000x3000 pixels. Weighing just 195g and measuring 4.1 x 2.5 x 1.1 inches, it is genuinely pocketable while still offering a feature set that goes well beyond the basics. The camera includes an electronic viewfinder with 200k-dot resolution alongside a 3.0-inch TFT LCD display rated at 921k dots, giving shooters two framing options depending on the situation.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system, and optical image stabilization is built in to help keep shots sharp in lower light or at longer reach. The ISO range runs from 80 to 6400, covering everyday shooting through moderately low-light scenes. For action or fleeting moments, the burst mode can fire at up to 10 frames per second.

Video recording tops out at 1080p at 50fps. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and USB, making it straightforward to transfer images wirelessly or via cable. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards.

This is a well-rounded compact that prioritizes portability and convenience without stripping out the manual control options that more serious photographers expect.

Dual Framing Options: A 200k-dot electronic viewfinder and a 3.0-inch 921k-dot TFT LCD give shooters two ways to compose, useful in bright sunlight or when precision matters.

10fps Burst Mode: Continuous shooting at up to 10 frames per second helps capture fast-moving or unpredictable subjects.

ISO 80–6400 Range: Covers everyday daylight shooting through moderately low-light scenes without switching cameras.
