Leica Digilux 3, Brochure

 6 / 7

Signal-to-noise ratio  Individual processing of chrominance and luminance noise means 

that the problem of picture noise becomes a thing of the past with digital cameras. The 

Digilux 3 cuts down on luminance noise, which mainly occurs in the shadows of a picture, 

with efficient noise reduction. The Digilux 3 is equipped with a filter which filters out 

color noise and processes it separately. In addition, the image signal processor minimizes 

lens errors such as color fringing and distortion – with impressive results, reaching right 

into the corners of pictures.

Image stabilization  The LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT is the first Leica interchan-

geable lens to feature integrated image stabilization technology MEGA O.I.S. A 

slip of the hand is often the reason for blurred or shakey pictures. MEGA O.I.S. 

compensates for these natural movements, thus helping you to take sharply 

focused and brilliant images. In line with the increased requirements in SLR 

photography, the Leica D lens has its own integrated image processor. With 

this technological module the data delivered by the movement detector 4000 

times a second can be utilized for the effective reduction of blur due to shake. 

The image stabilization system offers 2 different modes : mode 1 also activates 

image stabilization with image preview (both in the viewfinder as well as on the 

LCD monitor), thus enabling shake-free composition. In mode 2 image stabiliza-

tion is only activated when the shot itself is taken, thus operating with maximum 

performance capability. You can decide at any time which mode you want to use 

in what situation.
