Leica 18141, 18069 manual Everything in view, No compromises, Secure handling

LEICA C3 Whether you use it in your profession or in your leisure time, for architecture or for landscapes, the LEICA C3 expands your angle of view.

Everything in view

Panoramic landscapes, groups of people, city views – with the 28 mm wide-angle setting you simply capture more on your pictures. A decisive advantage, when no one has to be left out in group photos or houses and monuments can be captured completely. And the aspheric lens elements in the Leica lens render your subject with sharpness, rich contrast and natural colors, even under poor light conditions.

No compromises

From Leica you can expect that your camera meets the highest quality stand- ards and that it is made of high-grade materials. From the lightweight aluminum body housing and its precise mechanisms to the zoom lens, which is fabricated completely of genuine optical glasses.

Secure handling

The C3, with its elegant aluminum design, has an ergonomic grip, so that it will also fit well in your hands when you want to take pictures spontaneously while you are traveling. All its control elements are laid out for easy operation. A practical plastic box is included for safe transportation.

Guaranteed quality

We are aware of the high quality that is expected of a Leica and for how long our cameras are expected to last. That is also why we offer an unusually long guarantee of 3 years for the LEICA C3.

Creativity without bounds Give a free rein to your creativity ! There are no limits on the choice of subjects, because the zoom lens covers everything, from landscapes (28 mm), for example, to portraits (80 mm). At a Leica level of quality, of course, with impressive picture quality, even in big enlargements.

Utmost convenience The LEICA C3 is equipped with useful automatic controls that make the camera delightfully easy to operate and that lead to very good pictures : Exposure metering (dependable center-weighted integral metering with measured value storage), automatic programs with automatic exposure control, fast, active infrared autofocus with focus storage and automatic flash activation in low light situations (which can be switched off). And all that with a flash guide number of up to 20 for a great range. This enables you to take worry-free pictures.

Serial date imprinting This makes good sense : With the dating feature of the LEICA C3, you can imprint the time or the date on your pictures. Even after a long time, you’ll still know when the pictures were made.

Long time exposures The good speed that the zoom lens of the LEICA C3 features in spite of its compact design is especially helpful in difficult light conditions. And there is more : If you want to take pictures at night, for instance of a starry sky, or of a harbor scene, a fireworks display or a thunderstorm – the C3 offers the “T” mode for individual time exposures of up to 99 seconds. By pressing the release button once, you start the exposure and the elapsed seconds indication in the display ; pressing it a second time ends the exposure.
