Leica M Monochrom Camera User Manual, Instruction Manual, User Guide (PDF)

Leica M Monochrom rangefinder camera is the first full-frame format camera to be designed exclusively and without any compromises for black-and-white photography.

It equipped with a newly-designed 18 megapixels CCD sensor is also perfectly matched to the superior performance of Leica M-Lenses. As the sensor does not 'see' colors, every pixel records true luminance values - as a result, it delivers 'true' black-and-white images that are significantly sharper than comparable exposures from a camera with a color-sensitive sensor, and images that require very little or no further image processing.
