The Leica V-Lux 30 enables consecutive burst shooting at a rate of ten frames per second at a full resolution of 14.1 Megapixels. As with the complete Leica portfolio, the characterized by timelessly elegant styling and extremely easy handling


The Leica V-Lux 30 is the perfect camera for everyone who travels the world with their eyes wide open to capture inspiration from their surroundings. Taking pictures with the V-Lux 30 is just as easy as his stunts appear to be. It is the perfect camera for seeing the world from totally new perspectives.

The photographic options offered by the Leica V-Lux 30 and its 16× optical-zoom range cover everything from wide-angle and macro shots to telephoto shots of distant subjects. Extremely precise aspherical lenses in the construction of its Leica DC Vario-Elmar 1:3.3-5.9 4.3-68.8 mm ASPH. zoom lens (24-384 mm, 35-mm equivalent) enable an enormous range of focal lengths from 24 to 384 mm - for video as well as still pictures.

The Leica V-Lux 30 camera is made even more versatile by a continuous shooting mode (burst mode), allowing the capture of an impressive ten images per second at full resolution (14.1 MP), and a 3D image-capture mode. Another highlight of the Leica V-Lux 30 is its amazingly efficient video recording format: it records videos in 1920 × 1080i AVCHD full-HD including GPS data and, in contrast to the usual M-JPEG format, uses about 50% less memory - for the same brilliant image quality.


Leica DC-Vario Elmar Lens
The high-quality of this zoom lens enables the use of an enormous range of equivalent focal lengths from 24 to 384mm for both still and movie capture. For macro photography, extremely wide-angle views or zooming in on distant subjects - the V-LUX 30 capture amazingly sharp images across the entire wide-angle to telephoto range

When shooting with longer focal lengths (telephoto) or in poor light, optical image stabilization effectively prevents blurred and shaky pictures. Flexible use of the sensor format guarantees full accommodation of the entire zoom range (35mm equivalent: 24-384mm) in all possible image aspect ratios, no matter whether set for 4:3, 3:2, or 16:9. The maximum resolution of 14.1Mp is available for images shot with an aspect ratio of 4:3

Simple, Intuitive Handling
The ergonomically positioned and logically arranged control elements of the Leica V-LUX 30 ensure intuitive handling of the camera even by less-experience photographers. A wide range of automated functions ensures simple, straightforward operation in any situation. At the same time, manual setting options for apertures and shutter speeds provide greater creative scope for more-demanding users. The mode selection dial on the camera's top plate allows fast and simple switching between the various automatic modes and manual operation. In comparison to the V-LUX 20 model, the video release button has been moved on the top side of the camera and allows a faster switch into video mode. For enhanced user-friendliness, the V-LUX 30 features a touchscreen panel

Enhanced Versatility
The new burst shooting feature and 3D capability make the Lecia V-LUX 30 more versatile compared to its predecessor. The burst shooting speed at full resolution of 14.1Mp is an impressive 10 pictures/second while the high-speed mode can even offer 60 pictures/second at a resolution of 3.5Mp. Thus, the Leica V-LUX 30 records fast-moving subjects perfectly - ideal for fascinating pictures from the worlds of sport and animals.

The 3D feature guarantees spellbinding photos, as well. The camera combines two selected photos from a series, creates a 'stereo picture pair' and saves this as a 3D photo in MPO format. These pictures are compatible with all 3D screens available on the market

Touchscreen Monitor
The innovative touchscreen display offers a smooth and comfortable touch control. In addition to the usual button controls, various functions can be controlled by a fingertip. The touchscreen operation does not only work for shooting, but also for playback. Images can be enlarged and dragged across the screen with a finger to browse the collection of images just like turning the pages of a book. The 460,000 dots and the automatic brightness control provide particularly detailed images on the 3.0" LCD touch display

HD Video Recording
The 1080i AVCHD movie function is a welcome addition to the features of the Leica V-LUX 30 that makes it even more versatile. Movies are recorded in AVCHD HD format and tagged with GPS data. HD movie recording starts with the touch of a button on top of the camera. The intelligent, automatic system of the V-LUX 30 integrates all the essential functions such as face recognition, automatic scene mode selection and smart exposure for still and movie capture. It is possible to zoom while shooting movies across the entire 16x zoom range

GPS - Global Positioning System
This innovative feature records the geographical coordinates of the location and local time of every picture you shoot and stores this information in the EXIF data of the image files. This feature provides a variety of exciting options and benefits. When travelling with the V-LUX 30, it displays all the sights in the immediate neighborhood. In fact, it has access to a total of one million points of interest. In addition, the GPS feature is also very useful when archiving pictures and each picture can reveal exactly where it was shot on world maps published on social networks, image portals and map services like Google Maps or Google Earth. The time setting will be automatically registered via the GPS information

Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9
The V-LUX 30 is supplied with a comprehensive suite of software. Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 provides users with a comprehensive and versatile image editing solution. The software offers a wide range of features as viewing, organization, administration and processing options for still images and video recordings. Also included is Adobe Premiere Elements 9, an easy-to-use package offering video processing for movies recorded by the V-LUX 30 in AVCHD format, and also enables the creation of professional audio and video effects. After completing the video, it can be prepared for presentation on the Web, DVD or other media with only a few mouse clicks
