Face Detection AF/AE for Beautiful Portraits

Whether you're taking a portrait or a snapshot, you

want every face to come out beautifully. The L10 makes it easy, thanks to the world’s first Face Detection AF/AE function on a digital SLR camera. The L10 automatically detects when there are faces in the frame, and optimizes the focus and exposure to capture them stunningly. Once the camera spots a face, it will follow it even if the person moves. The L10 can detect up to 15 faces in a frame.

*This function is enabled only when the LEICA D VARIO-ELMAR 14-50 mm / F3.8-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens or LEICA D VARIO-ELMAR 14-150 mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens is mounted, as of August 30, 2007.

Selectable Auto Focus Points

While viewing the LCD, you can choose from as many as 11 points for the auto focus area. This lets you choose the area that's most appropriate for the subject and your intention.

Flexible AF/AE Functions to Fit the Way You Shoot

The L10 features a dual auto focus system, with TTL phase difference AF and contrast AF. With Live View, you can use not only the TTL phase difference AF but also any of six contrast AF modes, with 256-zone multi light metering. When you're shooting this way, the LCD shows you how the whole image will look before you take the shot.

Intelligent ISO Control Helps Prevent Motion Blur

The L10 is the world's first digital SLR to feature Intelligent ISO Control. This innovative function senses if the subject moves and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed accordingly, helping to prevent motion blur. If the subject remains still, the camera shoots at a low ISO setting to give you beautiful, natural-looking images.

Multi-Exposures – For Easy Creative Compositions

The L10 lets you take up to three exposures in a single frame. Once you've taken the first shot,

Live View displays that image on the LCD monitor, so you can compose the second shot. Also, the gain is automatically compensated according to the number of exposures.

Movable Guidelines for Precise Composition

Guidelines can be displayed on the LCD when you're shooting with Live View, making it easy to check

that you're holding the camera level or, for artistic compositions, at the desired angle. The lines can be moved anywhere you wish with the cursor button.

Film Mode – To Capture Photos

with a Special Mood or Expressiveness

Professional film photographers select different films for their distinctive coloring and contrast, to achieve a desired effect. The L10 gives you this same kind of capability, letting you choose from six color and three monochrome Film modes. Once you select a mode – and before you take the shot – you can see in the LCD what the photo will look like. That's another Live View advantage.

Choice of Three Aspect Ratios

The L10 gives you a choice of three aspect ratios (photo shapes) when using full-time Live View. Select the conventional 4:3 ratio, the 3:2 ratio of 35mm film or the 16:9 ratio of wide-screen TVs, according to the subject and the way you'll use the shot. With the 16:9 ratio, you can take HD photos that fill a wide-screen HDTV for a sensational viewing experience.
