The sensor's design features an updated microlens array and omits an optical low-pass filter in order to achieve greater sharpness, resolution, and clarity. Additionally, differentiating itself from typical sensor designs, the Q2 Monochrom sensor omits a colour filter array (CFA), which offers the ability to solely record monochromatic imagery using only luminance values for enhanced clarity, depth, and resolution. By removing the CFA, this camera also achieves a higher sensitivity range of ISO 100-100,000 than the colour-enabled Q2 camera, along with reduced noise to suit working in difficult lighting conditions and a broad 13-stop dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maestro II's processing capabilities also afford fast shooting performance, up to 10 fps at full-resolution with a mechanical shutter, along with an especially quick autofocus system. Stills can be recorded as 14-bit DNG files and JPEGs. The added resolution also enables unique digital zoom capabilities to simulate working with different focal length lenses: 30MP images can be created using a 35mm field of view, 15MP images with a 50mm field of view, and 7MP with a 75mm field of view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit lh1\"\u003eSummilux 28mm f\/1.7 ASPH. Lens\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey to the popularity of the Q-series is the incorporation of a fixed Summilux 28mm f\/1.7 wide-angle prime lens, ensuring exceptional imaging performance. Blending Leica's optical know-how with a design perfectly matched to the image sensor, this lens incorporates three aspherical elements to control distortion and spherical aberrations for sharp and accurate rendering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fast initial aperture of f\/1.7 guarantees optimum picture quality in even the most difficult lighting situations - excelling in low-light conditions and offering improved control over depth of field. Extending its versatility, a dedicated macro focusing position can also be used for working with subjects as close as 17 cm away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, with its digital zoom of up to 75mm, the Leica Q2 can make a perfect companion for street photography as well as shooting architecture, landscapes, and portraits. An optical image stabilization unit also helps to compensate for the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting - highlighting the greatest possible creative freedom in composing exceptional black-and-white images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gText\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eA clear view at all times | 3.68 Megapixels OLED Viewfinder\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe newly developed, high-resolution OLED viewfinder has a resolution of 3.68 megapixels.
