look at page 42 also
The LX1 is an interesting small camera.
I suppose it's a Panty re-vage.
Could be a DX sensor or just m4/3?
Certain to have a short register either way. _________________ Moderator |

Exposure metering Exposure metering through the lens (TTL), center-weighted with working aperture. Center-weighted TTL metering for flash
exposure with system-compatible SCA-3000/2 standard flash units.
Measurement principle Measured by light reflected by bright shutter blades on the first shutter curtain.
Metering range (at ISO 160/23°) At room temperature and normal humidity corresponds to EV 0 to 20 or f/1.0 and 1.2 s to f/32 and
1/1000 s. Flashing left triangular LED in viewfinder indicates values below metering range.
Measurement cell for
available light
(continuous light measurement) Silicon photo diode with condensing lens, positioned in the bottom center of the
camera base.
Sensitivity range ISO 80/19° to ISO 2500/35°, adjustable in 1/3 ISO increments, with aperture priority A and manual exposure setting,
choice of automatic control or manual setting, automatic control with snapshot profile.

Flash exposure
compensation
±3 1/3 EV in 1/3 EV steps adjustable on the SCA-3501/3502 adapter. On Leica SF 24D, ±3 EV in 1/3 EV- steps with
computer control, or from 0 to –3 EV in 1 EV-steps/on Leica SF 58 adjustable in all modes ±3 EV in 1/3 EV-steps.
Displays in flash mode Flash readiness: flash symbol LED in viewfinder constant. Correct flash exposure: LED constant or flashes rapidly after
exposure. Underexposure: LED extinguished after exposure.
Viewfinder
Viewfinder principle Large, bright-line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation.
Eyepiece Adjusted to -0.5 dpt. Correction lenses from -3 to +3 dpt. available.
Image framing By activating two bright-line frames: For 35 and 135 mm, 28 and 90 mm, or for 50 and 75 mm. Automatic activation when
lens is attached. Any pair of bright-line frames can be activated using the image field selector.
Parallax compensation The horizontal and vertical difference between the viewfinder and the lens is automatically compensated according to the
relevant distance setting, i.e. the viewfinder bright-line automatically aligns with the subject detail recorded by the lens.
Matching of viewfinder
and actual picture
The size of the bright-line frame corresponds exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8 mm at a setting distance of
1 meter. At infinity setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3 % (28 mm) to 18 % (135 mm) more is recorded by the
sensor than indicated by the corresponding bright-line frame and slightly less for distances shorter than 1m.
Enlargement (for all lenses) 0.68x.
Large basis rangefinder Split or superimposed image range finder shown as a bright field in the center of the viewfinder image.
Effective rangefinder
base
47.1 mm (actual rangefinder base 69.25 mm x viewfinder enlargement 0.68x).
Displays
Viewfinder (lower edge) LED symbol for flash status. Four-digit seven-segment digital display with dots above and below, display brightness
adjusted for ambient brightness, for: Warning of exposure compensation, display for automatically generated shutter
speeds in aperture priority mode, indication of use of metering memory lock, warning that the metering or setting ranges
are over- or underexposed using aperture priority and counting down exposures longer than 2s.
LED light balance with two triangular and one central circular LED for manual exposure setting. The triangular LEDs give the
direction of rotation of the aperture setting ring and shutter speed setting dial to adjust the exposure. Also as warning for
over- or underexposure.
On rear panel 2,5” monitor (color TFT LCD) with 230,000 pixels.
Shutter and release
Shutter Microprocessor-controlled, exceptionally low-noise metal blade shutter with vertical movement.
Shutter speeds For aperture priority (A) continuously adjustable from 32 s to 1/4000 s. For manual setting 8 s to 1/4000 s in half steps,
B for long exposures of any duration (in conjunction with self timer T function, i. e. 1st release = shutter opens, 2nd release
= shutter closes), (1/180 s) fastest shutter speed for flash synchronization.
Shutter cocking Using low-noise integral motor, optionally after releasing the shutter release button.
Series exposures Approx. 2 pictures/s, ≤ 8 pictures in series.
Shutter release Three levels: Exposure metering on – Metering memory lock (in aperture priority mode) – Shutter release. Integrated
standard cable release thread.
Self timer Delay optionally 2 (aperture priority and manual exposure setting) or 12 s (menu setting), indicated by flashing LED on front
of camera and corresponding display on the monitor.
Switching the camera
on/off
Using the main switch on the camera’s top panel, selectable automatic power-off for camera electronics after about
2/5/10 minutes, reactivation by pressing the shutter release button.

74 I LEICA M TECHNICAL DATA LEICA M TECHNICAL DATA I
LEICA X1
The design of this elegant new compact member of the Leica camera family is
clearly reminiscent of the classic M cameras, but its beauty is more than skin
deep. It is equipped with a CMOS sensor equal in size to that of many DSLR cameras,
and it’s fitted with one of the very best Leica lenses, enabling it to stand on its
own even with the big boys in terms of image quality. As an optional alternative to
its impressive array of manual functions, it provides automatic features, such as
autofocus, making it a convenient companion for any discerning camera user. _________________ Moderator |

This bit:
5270 x 3516 pixels (18.5 Megapixel) CCD chip, active area approx. 23.9 x 35.8 mm
I find it slightly disappointing there are no Yachting, Aspen, or Porsche modes. _________________ Dave - Moderator

I finally got to see this brochure a few minutes ago ... everyone's taking it as Holy Writ but there are some strange oddities in it. I daren't say this on the Leica forum because I think they will make wax effigies of me and smash them with a big hammer for being an unbeliever. A voice in my head keeps saying "Maybe this brochure is not real but a spoof".
Apart from not spelling out the major new technological achievements with the sensor, I wonder why one of the illustrations of the camera shows the new "gray" colour metal parts with a non-matching silver shutter dial and the allegedly unpopular "sharkskin" pseudo leather covering. Lordy, now I'm as as geeky as hundreds (?thousands?) of other Leica Forumites. Or am I the the little lad in the Hans Christian Andersen story who said the Emperor didn't actually have any clothes on?
(P.S. My wife just suggested it might be a "prototype brochure" with "artists' impressions" of the new camera. Excellent idea, now I can go to bed and sleep soundly) _________________ Stephen
Equipment: Pentax DSLR for casual shooting, Lumix G1 and Fuji XE-1 for playing with old lenses, and Leica M8 because I still like the optical rangefinder system. |

I think I will hold out for the green painted safari model, before going for this one. Its sure to be much more exclusive, and may even have an IR filter _________________ Camera (ˈkæ mə rə), n. Device for taking pictures in bright light
