Original size of WX970/VX870 WxHxD: 65x73x139mm, Weight*: 353g (WX970: 360g) *without Battery and SD Memory Card Leica Dicomar Lens & Lens Hood Twin Camera: Two points of view Wind Shield Zoom Microphone Smoother & more stable shots 8MP BSI Sensor & Crystal Engine 4K This high-performance lens has passed the stringent inspection standards of Leica Camera AG for aspects such as resolution and contrast. In addition to rendering sharp, crisp images, it produces the distinctive nuances and subtle shading that Leica lenses are renowned for. The WX970 has an additional camera on the side of the display to help you capture different points of view, the video appears as picture-in-picture. Besides 270 panning, the sub camera now also features an electrical zoom and dedicated tilting. A special damping material is provided in the space between the mic and the mic net to suppress wind noise for clear recording. A number of features are built into the WX970/VX870 to counteract unwanted movement. Level Shot feature detects tilt and automatically corrects footage. For more creative freedom, you can choose between three settings: strong, normal and off. The 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ feature also stabilises your footage, automatically compensating blur from camera zooms and walking. This high-speed LSI processes the massive volume of 4K data quickly and accurately. A new noise reduction system achieves clear images with minimal noise even in darkness. Increasing the readout speed has made it possible to handle large-volume 4K data. This suppresses the rolling shutter distortion that often occurs when shooting moving subjects.

get the Detail in 4K Video Preserve your memories in all their beauty with 4K definition The WX970/VX870 are made to film in 4K. With four times the resolution than Full HD, video is captured in crisp detail. When footage is down-converted to Full HD, the data will have even better definition and clarity than those filmed in Full HD. 4K Photo function 4K also offers more options in extracting 8MP still images from your footage. 4K has four times the resolution of Full HD Video and allows sharp, detailed prints of single frames up to the size of A3. Filming in 4K means you can easily grab those impressive moments in your video footage that are hard to capture with traditional photography. CREATIVITY GIVEN FULL REIGN Recording in 4K resolution gives you greater flexibility when it comes to editing your video. Draw focus to specific actions and shape your stories with creative use of scale, pan and crops. Leica Lens: Made for 4K A specially developed Leica Dicomar lens, with 20x Optical Zoom (in 4K), will help you find your perfect shot. For those who shoot from the hip, the WX970/VX870 has a superior focus speed. The Leica Dicomar lens is designed to alleviate distortion and minimise ghosting and flare. It provides excellent resolution even when footage is enlarged, so your shots are always crisp and clear. 4 5
HDR video: perfect exposure Twin camera: Two Points of view The Twin Camera function delivers twice the fun The WX970 includes a pan/tilt and retractable sub camera. Two cameras let you easily take shots from two different angles simultaneously. For example, you can catch a shot of your friends or family at the side and a selfie, or both a tele and wide-angle shot from the front. So you can put your smiling face right into the picture, instead of hiding you behind the scene! 2x ±270 ±20 Clear shots with excellent detail in both bright and dark areas When filming in high contrast environments, such as indoors or in bright sunshine, footage can be underexposed in some areas and over in others. Backgrounds look bleached and subjects in the foreground appear in shadow. The WX970/VX870 captures footage in HDR (High Dynamic Range), blending different exposures together to create completely balanced video. Turn Your Smartphone into a Sub Camera Place a point of view right in the heart of the action and stream footage back to the WX970/VX870 from your tablet or smartphone as a picture-in-picture. This flexible option allows you to push your creativity by combining different angles together to create unique footage. 6 7
