Leica.Connect - Discover Content Credentials | Leica Store Raffles Arcade

Dive into the world of photography with the Leica M11P, Leica’s latest innovation combining classic craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the camera's exceptional features, focusing on its groundbreaking Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) capabilities, designed to preserve the integrity and authenticity of digital images.

The Leica M11P not only offers the iconic Leica image quality and rangefinder experience, but also introduces built-in content authentication. This feature allows photographers to embed metadata in their images, verifying that they haven’t been altered or manipulated—an essential tool for journalists, documentarians, and professionals concerned with digital authenticity.

Through practical exercises, you’ll learn how to leverage the M11P’s settings to enhance your photography while understanding the importance and benefits of the Content Authenticity Initiative. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to confidently use the Leica M11P to create visually stunning images that are both authentic and secure.
