Leica Q Typ 116 for selfies?
The Leica Q (Typ 116) has a rear LCD that is fixed to the body. Thus, the screen cannot be used to monitor the framing when taking selfies or during v-logging. The functions of the LCD are, hence, limited to checking the camera's menu settings and reviewing images.
In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Leica Q Typ 116 measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,040,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.
