The Leica V-LUX (type 114) digital camera is an advanced point-and-shoot digital camera with the form factor of a DSLR. It has a 20MP, 1" Mos sensor, a 16x zoom lens, and UHD 4K video capability. The built-in, DC VARIO-ELMARIT, 9.1-146Mm f/2.8-4.0 ASPH lens has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 25-400mm. Optical image stabilization helps minimize the appearance of camera shake, resulting in sharper images, and 4x digital zoom and 32x intelligent zoom provide the lens with an extended focal range. The moderately fast aperture, combined with a native sensitivity range of ISO 120-12500 allow the lens to perform in situations with low light. The V-LUX captures high-quality MP4 Video files in resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 UHD 4K, and a built-in microphone can record stereo audio while recording video. A 3", 920K-dot, rotatable, LCD screen on the camera enables photo review and menu navigation, and a 0.39", OLED, 2, 360k-dot, electronic viewfinder allows for accurate composition. Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC allow for instant image sharing and remote control via the image Shuttle app.
