Offering top quality in a compact digital camera, the Leica D-Lux 8 delivers versatile portability and a seamless user experience.

The eighth generation in D-Lux cameras, the D-Lux 8 utilizes a 17MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor and has a fixed 10.9-34mm f/1.7-2.8 lens which provides a 24-75mm full-frame equivalency. This is the first D-Lux model to feature DNG file support. This camera couples a 3" 1.84m-dot TFT LCD with a 2.36MP OLED EVF. A built-in eye sensor allows the camera to automatically switch between the LCD panel and the viewfinder. Smartphone connectivity is easy with the Leica FOTOS app. Additionally, an on-camera flash allows you to reliably capture photos in various lighting conditions.

What is the sync speed of the D-Lux 8 ?

What is the sync speed of the D-Lux 8 ?
Asked by: Pierre
I think the 1/4000 that is on the tech spec for the leaf shutter is a typo. The manual states 1/2000 on page 97 which I think is correct. Without the leaf shutter flash doesnt fire, so the x sync they gave in the manual may not be correct either
