The M11 Monochrom retains the Triple Resolution Technology first featured in the M11. This groundbreaking pixel binning approach allows photographers to select from 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP outputs. Every resolution harnesses the full sensor area, and selecting lower resolutions enhances dynamic range and minimizes noise levels.
The M11 Monochrom features a revised monochromatic design, devoid of color. The Leica Red Dot is absent, the viewfinder has a dark chrome tint, dial engravings are filled with white and gray paint, and shutter/bayonet lock buttons are black. The top plate discreetly bears the engraving "MONOCHROM."
The M11 Monochrom leverages the M11's high-res back-illuminated sensor. It modifies the 60MP full-frame CMOS by removing the color filter array (CFA), enabling exclusive capture of monochromatic images with enhanced clarity, depth, and resolution using luminance values. This omission expands the sensitivity range to ISO 125-200000, surpassing color-enabled M11 cameras.
The M11 Monochrom is a manual photo-only camera that incorporates numerous enhancements, making it the most contemporary M camera. It features an electronic shutter with speeds up to 1/16,000 sec, ideal for faster f/0.95 lenses without requiring ND filters. A mechanical shutter supports speeds up to 1/4000 sec and flash sync at 1/180 sec.
The Maestro III processor enhances the M11 Monochrom with swift processing, enabling continuous shooting at up to 4.5 fps and supporting the Triple Resolution Technology. It also contributes to achieving a broader sensitivity range compared to earlier M camera models. The ISO 125-200000 range features a lower base ISO, resulting in improved detail, while the higher top end provides increased flexibility for low-light scenarios.
