The camera app 'Leica LUX' provided by Leica for iPhone has evolved further with a new update.
In versions 1.1 and 1.2 released in December 2024, more abundant lens effects and editing features have been added, expanding new possibilities for mobile photography. This time, we delve into the latest features and attractions of this app.
Newly Added 'Summilux 90mm' Lens
The highlight of this update is the reproduction feature of 'Summilux 90mm' and 'Summilux 120mm', which maximizes the telephoto capabilities of the iPhone. On iPhones with a 3x telephoto camera, 90mm can be selected, and 120mm on those with 5x telephoto.
This allows users to enjoy Leica's unique three-dimensionality and delicate depiction on their smartphones. Especially in portrait photography, the beautiful bokeh of the background enhances the charm.
Enjoy 'Leica Look' Even After Shooting
The evolution of 'Leica LUX' is also reflected in post-shooting editing. Newly added 'Leica Chrome' and 'Leica Brass' impart film camera reminiscent tones to photos. The strength of the effect can be adjusted with a slider, greatly expanding the range of photographic expression.
Additionally, features that allow changing lenses, aperture values, and focus positions after shooting have been added, offering the joy of customizing photos to your liking.
Experience Beyond Smartphone Photography Limits
The update also makes it convenient to instantly access your favorite lenses from the lock screen widget. This ensures smooth app launching and you won't miss the moments you want to capture.
'Leica LUX' continues to evolve into an app that expands the possibilities of smartphone photography, allowing everyone to easily experience the Leica world. For more detailed information about the app, please refer to the article below.
