How to use

Compose your shot using the 3-inch touchscreen or the electronic viewfinder, then zoom with the lens ring or zoom control to frame subjects from wide 24mm to telephoto 720mm. Use 4K PHOTO to record a short 4K sequence at 30 fps and select the best frame as an 8-megapixel still. For precise focus control, use Post Focus to choose the focus point after shooting or combine images with Focus Stacking for extended depth of field in macro work. Charge the battery via the USB Type-C port and pair the camera with your smartphone over Bluetooth for quick image transfer using the Send Image (Smartphone) button.

Usage recommendations

For travel and telephoto shots, use the LEICA 30x optical zoom from 24mm to 720mm to capture distant subjects without digital cropping. In low-light situations prefer wider apertures and steady support; enable 4K PHOTO when anticipating fleeting moments. Use Post Focus and Focus Stacking for macro subjects to ensure sharpness across the subject, and charge the battery via USB Type-C before long trips to keep the camera ready.
