Description — Leica V-Lux 4
The Leica V-Lux 4 is a point-and-shoot bridge camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing stills at 4000x3000 pixels. The camera shoots full HD video at 1080p with selectable frame rates of 30fps and 60fps. A fully articulated 3-inch LCD with 460,000 dots of resolution makes it straightforward to compose shots at unconventional angles, while the electronic viewfinder at 1.3 million dots gives a sharp, detailed eye-level alternative.
Autofocus uses a contrast detection system, with the camera's ISO sensitivity spanning 100 to 6400. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera connects to external devices via USB and Mini HDMI. A built-in pop-up flash covers spontaneous shooting needs, and the hot shoe accommodates external flash units.
The lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 540 shots per charge. The body measures 125 x 87 x 110 mm and weighs 588g.
