Excellent reproduction For the V-Lux 1 virtually nothing is too far or too close for a sharply focused
precise picture. Even at night or with poor visibility without a tripod.
LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 7.4 - 88.8 mm f/2.8 - 3.7 ASPH. The lens used in the LEICA V-LUX 1 complies with the strict standards of
Leica Camera AG for development and manufacture. Its lens system consists of 14 lens elements in 10 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses and an ED (extra-low dispersion) lens. The ED lens is manufactured from special optical glass to compensate for chromatic aberration. It prevents color fringing and loss of focus, resulting in clear sharp images. Leica stands for superb picture quality, and this lens system delivers truly breathtaking images with minimal distortion. The aspherical lenses further enhance the outstanding performance of the lens and are also a key factor for the remarkably compact dimensions of the camera.
Integral flash The LEICA V-LUX 1 is equipped with a built-in multifunctional flash which offers functions such as Auto, Auto/SlowSync or red-eye reduction. Manual adjustment of the flash power is possible in a range of ±2 aperture stops. If wished, external TTL flash units can be used on the flash shoe of the LEICA V-LUX 1. Such versatility makes the V-Lux 1 a true “high-end” camera in the compact camera class.
