Features
LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lensThe foldable optics in this 28mm wide-angle lens with 4.6x optical zoom enables the FP8's flat, slim design. Plus, the superb image rendering of the Leica DC lens teams up with the new POWER O.I.S. to clearly capture subjects even in dimly lit areas where hand-shake often occurs.

PerformanceEnjoy high-speed 0.95-second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately 0.3 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per second with full resolution.

iA modeSimply switch to iA mode, and leave everything up to the camera. It automatically selects the best of six scene modes to match your subject, and corrects any blurring, focus or brightness problems, so you get beautiful photos every time.

Illuminated buttonsThe back of the camera has cool-looking illuminated buttons that help you to avoid operating mistakes even when shooting in dimly lit places.
