Product Information
The Leaf Aptus 17 digital back combines robust shooting and an efficient workflow with exceptional Leaf image quality. As the world's first camera back with a built-in 6 x 7 cm LCD and a touch-screen user interface, the Leaf Aptus allows you to work intuitively, accessing any point on your image with one touch for quick evaluation. When using the Leaf Aptus, you can shoot at a rate of up to 1.2 sec. per frame and with an uninterrupted burst of 1000 frames, working efficiently with pre-shoot settings and powerful image-editing tools. Leaf digital camera backs are renowned for uncompromised image quality. Both the electronics and the software algorithms testify to our quality commitment. Raw files of 16 bits capture a 12-stop dynamic range, producing every nuance in the shadows and highlights, and achieving consistently smooth and accurate colors. A cooling fan removes heat from the back, generating clean, noise-free images.
