Master Your Image


Leaf Aptus About Leaf In 1992, Leaf ® introduced the world’s first digital camera back, the Leaf DCB. Since then we have continued to lead the professional digital photography market by developing innovative and award-winning digital solutions. This tradition continues with the introduction of the Leaf Aptus family: the Leaf Aptus 22 and the Leaf Aptus 17. Leaf Aptus The Leaf Aptus combines intuitive design, robust shooting, and an efficient workflow with Leaf exceptional image quality. As the world's first camera back with a built-in 6 x 7 cm LCD and a touch-screen user interface, the Leaf Aptus allows you to work intuitively, accessing any point on your image with one touch for quick evaluation. When using the Leaf Aptus, you can also shoot at a rate of up to 1.2 sec per frame and with an uninterrupted burst of 1000 frames, and work efficiently with pre-shoot settings and powerful image-editing tools.

Leaf Aptus 22 with CompactFlash card

Leaf digital camera backs are renowned for uncompromised image quality. Both the electronics and the software algorithms testify to our quality commitment. Raw HDR files of 16 bits capture a 12-stop dynamic range, producing every nuance in the shadows and highlights, and achieving consistently smooth and accurate colors. A cooling fan removes heat from the back, generating clean, noise-free images.

Intuitive Design The Leaf Aptus 6 x 7 cm LCD with touch-screen user interface, and the camera back's easy-to-use features allow you to work intuitively, saving precious time while shooting. With the Leaf Aptus, you can evaluate your images at a glance, access image information with a tap of your finger, and execute crucial functions without removing your hands from the camera grip.

Directly access any spot on the image with one touch

At 6 x 7 cm, the new Leaf Aptus LCD allows you to easily evaluate and edit your images. Using transmissive LCD technology, the Leaf Aptus LCD offers three times more brightness, four times more contrast, and higher saturation and color fidelity than other LCD technologies. Additionally, the side-view angle is exceptionally wide at 80 degrees. The LCD is a LED backlight type, which offers low power consumption for increasing battery life and minimizing heat generation.

The LCD's touch screen allows you to quickly and easily navigate to any point on the image, measuring exposure, checking the focus, and applying gray balance. Using the touch-screen keyboard, you can pre-name your shots, create custom folders, embed notes in each shot, and copyright your images. One-touch zoom

Robust Shooting Professionals who look for robustness will be drawn to the Leaf Aptus. With a fast capture rate of up to 1.2 sec per frame and an uninterrupted burst of 1000 frames, you will capture the decisive moment every time. Built with smart power management, an effective cooling system, and an aircraft-grade aluminum chassis, the Leaf Aptus ensures that you will shoot extensively and reliably for many years to come.

Fast capture rate

Flexible storage options

Be ready to capture the decisive moment

Choose a storage method based on your shooting needs

With a capture rate of up to 1.2 seconds per frame*, the Leaf Aptus Dual Sensor Readout (DSR), patent pending, allows you to capture the decisive moment. Since the Leaf Aptus CCD is capable of reading raw information simultaneously via two channels, as opposed to a one-channel CCD provided in other digital backs, the Leaf DSR technology doubles the capture rate without sacrificing image quality.

The Leaf Aptus digital back offers a storage method for any shooting situation. While on-location you may choose to use a light CF card, or shoot to the fast and removable 20 GB or 30 GB Leaf Digital Magazine. Shoot directly to a high-volume portable FireWire disk if you need to capture thousands of images in a row. Or shoot straight to a computer when feasible.

The Leaf Digital Magazine is a 20 GB or 30 GB removable FireWire storage unit that holds over 1000 lossless raw files. The Digital Magazine's rapid writing speed enables a continuous and consistent shooting burst without the need to stop.

Durable, robust design Photograph extensively and reliably for many years

The Leaf Aptus is built to last. Its chassis is made from aircraftgrade aluminum for reliability and longevity. Additionally, an efficient power management and cooling system reduces electronic heat to a minimum, increasing durability and enabling you to produce clean, noise-free images.

Aircraft-grade aluminum chassis for durability and longevity


Efficient Workflow Both the Leaf Aptus back and new Leaf Capture 10 software offer a range of functionality that allows you to streamline your digital capture and processing workflow. Before you begin photographing—even when portable—you can predetermine your image settings, pre-name files, and create shoot folders to save time on organization post-shoot. And Leaf Capture 10 software provides various editing tools for evaluating, adjusting, selecting, and processing multiple images efficiently.

Pre-shoot setup Save time on post-shoot organization and processing

Determine your image settings, name images and shoot folders, and even copyright your images before you begin shooting. Preset information is embedded within the raw image data, enabling you to save time post-shoot by photographing directly to pre-named shoot folders and sending images straight to batch processing. Of course, you can change settings at any time after the shoot.

Pre-name files before shooting

Leaf Capture 10 image-editing tools

Digital Loupe tool

Edit multiple images simultaneously

Directly access raw HDR data for quick focus check

Leaf Capture 10 software offers a range of image-editing tools, enabling you to adjust, select, and process images quickly and efficiently. With Leaf Capture 10, you can simultaneously work on multiple 16-bit raw HDR files, modifying the contrast, gray balance, color profiles, sharpness, image size, and more. And while you're processing one batch of images, you can begin working on another.

A digital Loupe tool is included in the new Leaf Capture 10 software. This feature enables you to access highresolution raw data directly from any size preview or thumbnail. With one click you can verify focus and details just like you were used to with film on a light table. The Loupe displays the area you click on at 100 percent magnification.

Flexible layout for easy editing of multiple images

Custom color profiling Accurately match colors to your on-set lighting

Custom color profiling allows you to generate an ICC profile that matches your specific lighting situation precisely. You also have the ability to adjust the profile if required. Custom color profiling was developed in cooperation with GretagMacbeth, and is powered by the same technology as the GretagMacbeth's ProfileMaker solution.

The Loupe tool displays 100% data from thumbnails and previews

About Leaf Since introducing its first digital camera back in 1992, Leaf has become a world-renowned leader in the domain of professional photography. Leaf’s extensive knowledge in image processing, color management and file conversion technology is part of the Leaf legacy. Leaf’s success has been paralleled by the success of its parent company, Creo, now part of Kodak. The Leaf Aptus family is the latest in a series of award-winning digital camera back solutions created for professional photographers.

The Leaf legacy “I started working with Leaf in 1992, with the Leaf DCB. Since then I’ve used the Leaf Volare and Valeo. I’ve tested every other back out there; Leaf has consistently been better. It’s not just the back; it’s also the excellent service I can rely on.” Manfred Zimmermann, Germany Commercial photographer
