\/><\/a>\n<p><strong>Press release<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Leica Camera has unveiled its first camera designed specifically for outdoor and underwater photography \u2013 the Leica X-U (Typ 113).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Incorporating a fast Leica Summilux 23mm f\/1.7 ASPH. lens (equivalent to 35mm in 35mm format) with underwater protection filter, and a large APS-C CMOS sensor, this fully waterproofed member of the Leica X family delivers images with exceptional brightness and clarity, even in the harshest of conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Created for the adventurous photographer, the Leica X-U allows the user to capture breathtaking underwater moments in perfect detail, at depths of up to 15 metres. Shock-resistant, dust-sealed and shatter-proof, this rugged camera is the ideal companion for any outdoor expedition or adventure \u2013 whether it\u2019s action or underwater shooting, extreme sports, travel, architectural or landscape photography \u2013 and also offers video capture in full HD quality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Optimum picture performance is guaranteed, thanks to the cutting-edge technology the X-U shares with all models in the Leica X range. Combined with its professional 16.5 MP (16.2 MP effective) APS-C CMOS sensor, the Leica X-U\u2019s premium Summilux 23 mm f\/1.7 ASPH. lens ensures natural colour reproduction and outstanding resolution, even at the closest focusing distance of 20 centimetres. Its fast f\/1.7 maximum aperture also offers the freedom to explore the creativity of selective focusing. In addition, due to the camera\u2019s excellent resistance to stray light and flare, the Leica X-U is the perfect choice for an extensive range of indoor and outdoor lighting conditions \u2013 at any time of day or night.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Made in Germany in collaboration with Audi Design, the stylish yet minimal Leica X-U focuses on the essential features: simple and intuitive operation, as well as ultimate precision. With a top-plate made from premium aluminium and high-grip TPE armouring, the body ensures exceptional usability, handling and durability, as well as water resistance to a depth of up to 15 metres.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Designed to embrace the elements, and for the most ambitious photography projects, the Leica X-U incorporates a non-slip body, a toughened monitor screen cover and a failsafe double locking system for the battery compartment and memory card slot. These robust protective features ensure that photographers can concentrate fully on their subject, with full confidence in the camera\u2019s durability.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Furthermore, the minimal, intuitive design of the Leica X-U puts the most important creative tools directly at the photographer\u2019s fingertips. Aperture and shutter speed can be set quickly and easily using the straightforward, typical \u2019Leica-style\u2019 dials, while a practical underwater snapshot button ensures the camera is ready to capture the wonders of the underwater world immediately \u2013 without the need to search through menus. Thanks to the camera\u2019s high-resolution three inch screen and a wide range of useful automatic features, it takes just seconds to find the precise settings the photographer requires to capture their decisive moment.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Additionally, with its anodised aluminium control dials and an integrated flash above the lens, the Leica X-U is a perfect example of exceptional quality and attention to detail.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For those on a challenging professional assignment or a magical holiday of a lifetime, important moments can also be recorded in full HD, cinema-quality video \u2013 with a choice of 1920&#215;1080 or 1280&#215;720-pixel resolution, at 30 full frames per second in MP4 format. And whether the footage is intended for a professional production or a home movie to share with friends and family, the Leica X-U delivers high-quality results that perfectly capture that special adventure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Pricing and availability<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Leica X-U (Typ 113) is available now from Leica stores and authorised Leica UK dealers, at a suggested retail price of \u00a32,400 inc VAT.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Accessories:<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Red floating carrying strap &#8211; \u00a350.00 inc VAT<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Outdoor-wrist strap (black neoprene) &#8211;
