help Leica M (Typ 262) FAQ
Does the Leica M Typ 262 have video recording?
No, the Leica M Typ 262 does not include video recording, which was a deliberate design decision to simplify the camera and appeal to traditional rangefinder photographers. This distinguishes it from the closely related Leica M Typ 240, which does offer video.
How much lighter is the Leica M Typ 262 compared to the M Typ 240?
The M Typ 262 weighs approximately 600 grams, which is about 100 grams lighter than the M Typ 240. The weight reduction was achieved by using an aluminum top plate instead of brass, making it more comfortable for all-day shooting.
What sensor does the Leica M Typ 262 use?
The M Typ 262 uses the same 24-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor as the Leica M Typ 240. However, Leica tuned the firmware in the Typ 262 to produce slightly different color rendering with a more classic, less saturated look straight out of camera.
What is the base ISO of the Leica M Typ 262?
The base ISO on the M Typ 262 is ISO 200, with an extended range going down to ISO 100 and up to ISO 6400. This is the same sensitivity range as the Typ 240 and is typical for the Leica M digital rangefinder generation of that era.
