• The Carl Zeiss Lens: The crown jewel of the camera is its Carl Zeiss Sonnar T 38mm f/2.8 multi-coated lens*. It delivers stunningly sharp, high-contrast images with beautiful background blur (bokeh) and rich, warm color rendering that rival professional SLR lenses.
• Luxury Materials: The outer shell is constructed from solid titanium. It features an synthetic sapphire glass viewfinder and a genuine ruby embedded into the autofocus sensor mechanism to prevent scratches and maintain long-term alignment.
• Refined Mechanical Controls: While it can operate as a fully automatic point-and-shoot, it gives the photographer physical tactile control. Turning a copper-accented dial on top lets you manually adjust your focus distance, while a mechanical ring around the lens lets you adjust the aperture manually.
• Advanced Metering: It utilizes a highly precise exposure meter that defaults to Aperture Priority mode, letting the camera automatically pick the correct shutter speed (up to 1/500s) to match your chosen aperture setting.
