Bokeh refers to the quality of the out-of-focus parts of your image. The Leica Q3 43 is able to offer ultimate flexibility thanks to a full-frame sensor and Triple Resolution Technology. These two components allow users to shoot at 18, 36 and 60 MP in both DNG and JPEG formats. Plus, the sensor supports an ISO range of 50 to 100,000 so you can always expect a top-notch low-light performance. Because of these advanced features, the Leica Q3 43 is the perfect choice for photographers interested in professional-quality, distortion-free portraits. You can even gain more impressive details in your close-ups by enabling the integrated macro mode. If you rely on the camera to film videos too, it offers a variety of video codecs and it films in stunning 8K resolution for true-to-life footage quality.
More Imaging Assistance
One aspect of photography the Leica Q3 43 can assist in is post-processing and editing.
