Leica M11-P Digital Rangefinder Camera Silver Finish

Leica M11-P Digital Rangefinder Camera Silver Finish Summary

Leica's introduction of the Leica M11-P Digital Rangefinder Camera Silver Finish signifies another groundbreaking step forward for photographers. This camera sets an unprecedented milestone as the world's first to incorporate technology aligned with both the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) and the C2PA standard. This breakthrough empowers users to verify the authenticity of their images, fostering renewed trust in the realm of digital photography.

Furthermore, it introduces a range of new and enhanced features compared to its predecessor, the original M11. In the first instance, this Silver “P” model (P for Press journalists), eliminates the iconic Leica Red Dot logo, creating a stealthy aesthetic that balances an understated elegance with discretion, familiar in reporter-style M Rangefinder cameras.

The camera's LCD touchscreen incorporates scratch-resistant sapphire glass and boasts complete 100% sRGB colour space coverage, ensuring precise assessment of image sharpness and exposure.

Enhanced internal storage of 256GB, paired with a high-speed UHS-II SD memory card slot, ensures you always have storage available, as well as offering redundancy for mission-critical assignments. Leveraging Leica's robust Maestro III image processor, the M11-P Camera Silver seamlessly handles high-resolution images, even at the maximum 60 megapixel resolution.

Triple resolution technology enhances storage efficiency and shooting versatility, and the M11-P integrates smoothly with the FOTOS app for remote camera control and image transfer, whilst being fully compatible with Apple devices.

Leica M11-P Digital Rangefinder Camera Silver Finish in More Detail

First camera ever with content authentication

Leica upholds its legacy of innovation through the M11-P Silver (also available in M11-P Black), unveiling groundbreaking content authentication technology. In an age of growing AI and image manipulation, this capability safeguards the authenticity of each photograph, establishing a benchmark for trustworthiness and integrity.

The M11-P leads the way by implementing encrypted metadata in alignment with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI). This innovation offers a layer of transparency regarding the origins and alterations made to an image file, enhancing the file's history and integrity.

Utilising Leica Content Credentials, every image you capture is equipped with a digital signature supported by a CAI-compliant certificate. You can confirm the authenticity of images by visiting contentcredentials.org/verify, or through the Leica FOTOS app.

Stylish, elegant and understated

The Leica M11-P Silver enhances M series characteristics through unique design elements. It does this by omitting the iconic red Leica dot, the signature Leica engraving on the top plate, and featuring a scratch-resistant sapphire glass display. These are complemented by a silver chrome finish and brass top cover, which exudes elegance and discretion.

High-performance BSI CMOS full-frame sensor

The M11-P shares the same advanced BSI CMOS full-frame sensor as the Leica M11, incorporating Triple Resolution Technology to achieve resolutions of up to 60 megapixels. This technology ensures stunning images characterised by true-to-life colours, expansive dynamic range, and intricate details.

LCD with full sRGB coverage

Large built-in memory capacity

The Leica M11-P ensures ample storage is always available. In addition to its UHS-II SD card slot, it features a 256GB internal memory, offering redundancy in media storage. The powerful buffer of the Maestro III image processor effortlessly handles the highest resolutions, guaranteeing a smooth shooting experience.

Streamlined mobile workflow

Enjoy seamless connectivity with the Leica M11-P and effortlessly transfer images to the Leica FOTOS app through Bluetooth or the USB-C port. Once paired, you can control the Leica M11-P via the app and directly edit images in Capture One Pro, Adobe Lightroom, or the Darkroom app. This integration enhances your on-the-go workflow. The Leica M11-P is also an Apple-certified "Made for iPhone and iPad" accessory, allowing you to connect it directly to your Apple device.

Tethering in USB mode

The newly added Tethering in USB mode menu option enables tethered photography using a USB cable, in conjunction with the Capture One Pro and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom photography applications (Plugins required and available on the Leica corporate website).
