    Leica SL2-S Sensor and Photography Features

    Leica SL2-S has a 24.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Maestro III processor. You can shoot at maximum resolution of 6000 x 4000 pixels with aspect ratios of and 3:2. SL2-S has a native ISO range of 100 - 50000 which can be boosted to 50 and it can save files in RAW format which gives you a wider room for post processing.

    Leica SL2-S is not the highest resolution Full frame camera. Sony A7R V with its 61.0MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Leica SL2-S vs Sony A7R V or take a look at Highest resolution Mirrorless cameras list.

    High Resolution Mode

    Leica SL2-S has a special High Resolution mode where the camera takes multiple images of a scene while moving its sensor using the sensor shift image stabilization system and combine them automatically to create a 96 MP image. This feature works best with static scenes and using a tripod is a must to minimize stitching artifacts.

    Anti-Aliasing Filter

    Another important feature about Leica SL2-S's sensor is the lack of anti-alias (Low-pass) filter. Removing anti-aliasing filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but on the other side it also increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.

    Let's look at how the size of the Leica SL2-S's Full frame sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

    Leica SL2-S LCD and Viewfinder

    Leica SL2-S has a Fixed Type 3.20-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2,100k dots. The Leica SL2-S's 3.20" screen is larger than average and its resolution is up to the class standarts.

    LCD is Touch screen type, so you can change the settings and set the focus point with your fingertips.

    Leica SL2-S back view and LCD

    Unfortunately Leica SL2-S doesn't have a Selfie friendly screen. If this feature is important for your shooting style, check here the list of Best Mirrorless Cameras with Selfie Friendly LCD screen.


    SL2-S has a built-in Electronic viewfinder, making it easier to shoot in direct sunlight and in other situations where it might be difficult to view the LCD monitor. The viewfinder has a resolution of 5,760kdots and coverage of 100%. 100% coverage ensures that what you see in the viewfinder while shooting matches exactly what you will get later in your image, helping accurate framing your shots and minimizes the need for cropping images later. The magnification ratio of the viewfinder is 0.78x (35mm equivalent).

    Leica SL2-S Connectivity, Storage and Battery

    Leica SL2-S features built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11ac + Bluetooth) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. Leica SL2-S's Bluetooth connectivity feature comes handy for connecting other devices that supports it. One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our SL2-S. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.

    You can connect SL2-S to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 GBit/sec) port.

    Leica SL2-S Battery

    Leica SL2-S is powered by BP-SCL4 battery which provides a battery life of 510 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of Mirrorless type cameras is 391 shots, Leica SL2-S has a good battery life for its class.
