Product Information
Leaf Aptus 22 Digital Camera Back for Universal,

The next generation of portable and studio digital camera backs has arrived - and its name is the Leaf® Aptus. Leaf Aptus is built for the portability and ease-of-use you love, yet delivers the touchness and efficient workflow you need. The Leaf Aptus product line includes the Leaf Aptus 22 with a resolution of 22 megapixels. This extraordinary back combines intuitive design, robust shooting and efficient workflow with exceptional 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.

With the Leaf Aptus, you can shoot at a rate of up to 1.2 sec per frame with an uninterrupted burst of 1000 frames. You'll streamline your work with pre-shoot settings and powerful image-editing tools. These capabilities, combined with spacious storage options, give you the flexibility to meet the most demanding shoot situations and customer requirements. Unique display technology, a new raw HDR format (cHDR) that uses lossless compression to reduce file size, and a completely new Leaf Capture 10 application enhance workflow and teamwork both on location and in the studio.
