Description — Leica Dawn by Seal
The Leica Q2 pairs a 47.3MP full-frame sensor with the Maestro II image processor in a weather-sealed magnesium alloy compact body. The integrated 28mm f/1.7 fixed lens — with a 49mm filter thread — is paired with autofocus built on contrast detection, 225 focus points, and support for face detection, eye detection, and subject tracking. Stills can be captured at up to 20fps in burst mode at a maximum resolution of 8368x5584 pixels, with color space options including sRGB and AdobeRGB.
The ISO range spans 50 to 50000 for adaptability across lighting environments. Video recording reaches 4K at 60fps with 10-bit color depth, L-Log color profile, and output in MP4 or MOV formats. The 3,680,000-dot electronic viewfinder refreshes at 120Hz, while the 3-inch fixed LCD resolves 1,040,000 dots.
Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C, with a built-in flash and ISO standard hot shoe also present. Storage is via a single SDXC slot, and battery life is rated at 370 shots using the BP-SCL4. The body weighs 734g and measures 130 x 80 x 92mm.
