Product Description

M11-P: Redefining the Future of Authentic Photography
Leica has always stood at the intersection of innovation and heritage. From documenting history’s defining moments to empowering the world’s most discerning photographers, the Leica M-series remains a symbol of authenticity. Continuing this legacy, the Leica M11-P builds on the advanced technology and timeless design of the M11—introducing meaningful upgrades for professionals and becoming the first camera in the world to feature Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) technology, restoring truth and trust to digital storytelling.

Professional Enhancements

True to Leica’s “P” tradition, the M11-P refines the M11 to better suit working professionals and photojournalists. Subtle yet powerful improvements include:

• Discreet design with no red dot logo and a dark chrome viewfinder for low-profile shooting

• Engraved Leica script on the top plate

• 256GB of internal storage, quadrupling the capacity of the M11

• Sapphire crystal cover glass for a more durable and scratch-resistant touchscreen

Leica Content Credentials with CAI Technology

As the first camera to integrate Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) technology, the M11-P brings verified transparency to digital imagery. In collaboration with Adobe, The New York Times, and other partners, CAI establishes a standard for digital content verification.

With Leica Content Credentials, each image is encrypted at capture using a secure chip. This embedded metadata can be validated and extended using compatible software, such as Adobe Photoshop. Viewers can then verify a photo’s origin and authenticity, while creators gain an additional safeguard for their work and rightful credit.

Cutting-Edge Imaging Performance

60MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor

The M11-P features a 60MP back-illuminated (BSI) full-frame sensor, delivering greater dynamic range, exceptional color accuracy, and low-light performance. Its ultrathin dual-layer filter glass absorbs UV and IR wavelengths for unparalleled image clarity with all M lenses.

Triple Resolution Technology

Choose between 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP outputs, each using the full sensor area and capturing rich 14-bit color depth:

• 60MP: Maximum detail with 14 stops of dynamic range

• 36MP: Balanced detail and low noise with 15 stops of dynamic range

• 18MP: Exceptional noise control and 15 stops of dynamic range

Maestro III Processor

The advanced Maestro III image processor enhances overall responsiveness, enabling ISO 64–50000, continuous shooting up to 4.5 fps, and rapid file handling for smooth, intuitive performance.

Refined Shooting Experience

Though purely stills-focused, the M11-P introduces several contemporary features for greater flexibility:

• Electronic shutter up to 1/16,000 sec for wide-aperture shooting without ND filters

• Digital zoom options (1.3x / 1.8x) for simulated focal length adjustments

• Multi-field metering alongside spot and center-weighted modes

• Optional long exposure noise reduction for clean low-light results

Classic Rangefinder Heritage

The M11-P maintains the elegant, intuitive form inspired by the 1954 M3, balancing heritage craftsmanship with modern control.

Optical Viewfinder & Rear LCD

• 0.73x optical rangefinder with bright-line frames and parallax compensation

• Manual frame selector for previewing 28/90mm, 35/135mm, or 50/75mm focal pairs

• 2.95" 2.3m-dot touchscreen LCD with sapphire glass for enhanced durability and outdoor visibility

• Updated interface matching Leica Q and SL systems for quicker, more intuitive navigation

• Live view stabilization for precise manual focus, especially with longer lenses

Streamlined Body & Improved Handling

Despite its classic silhouette, the M11-P introduces modern refinements:

• Aluminum top plate (black finish) for a 20% lighter body (1.2 lb with battery)

• New BP-SCL7 battery, offering 64% more capacity—up to 700 shots (or 1700 using the OVF only)

• No removable baseplate, for easier access to the battery and memory slot

• 256GB built-in storage, with a single UHS-II SD slot for overflow or file backup

• USB-C port for in-camera charging and data transfer

Modern Connectivity

The M11-P supports both wired and wireless workflows:

• USB-C to iPhone (via Leica FOTOS Cable) for fast transfer and remote control

• Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for seamless pairing with the Leica FOTOS app

• In-app tools for geotagging, rating, and favoriting images directly from your mobile device

The Leica M11-P stands as the ultimate fusion of authenticity, craftsmanship, and innovation—preserving the timeless Leica ethos while pioneering the future of truthful digital imagery.
