5) As a partner of Leica, Japanese company Panasonic boasts rich and extensive experience in the image field, especially in motion video area and the DFD technology it has proposed is of great significance in improving the autofocus for mirror less cameras. Would this be of any help for Leica in developing relevant products?
色影无忌：贵司有一位来自日本的合作伙伴:松下，其在影像领域（特别是动态视频）有着丰富的经验。其提出的DFD技术对于无反相机的自动对焦有着很大帮助，这点是否对徕卡在开发相关产品上有帮助？
琳琅满目的相机
Stefan Daniel：The technology cooperation between Leica and Panasonic is currently celebrating its15 years of anniversary. Besides the compact camera business, we have a close partnership in various technology fields for the benefit of both companies. Please understand that further details are subject to confidentiality.
Stefan Daniel：目前，徕卡相机与松下之间技术合作成立迎来15周年。除了在便携相机业务上的紧密合作之外，在有利于双方利益的各个技术领域，我们都有着密切的合作。当然，进一步的合作细节属于保密信息，谢谢理解。
徕卡与松下合作已久
6) As far as I know, although Leica is world famous for its MF (Manual Focus) M Digital Rangefinder Cameras; it actually came up with AF (Auto Focus)-related patents during the time of Letiz. On Photokina 1976, Leica introduced a concept product which is called Correfot and in 1978, the company even rated SLR cameras with auto focus function. Digilux3, the product of cooperation between Leica and Panasonic also shows that Leica has always been attaching great importance to the autofocus technology, and as a matter of fact, Leica SL has also presented outstanding performance in AF among the same-type products. So can you talk to us about this? (Currently, MF and AF product lines are in parallel)
色影无忌：据我所知，徕卡相机虽然以手动对焦（MF）的M系列旁轴相机闻名于世，但贵司其实早在徕兹（Letiz）时期就提出过自动对焦（AF）的相关专利，在1976年的Photokina展会上，你们就推出过名为Correfot的概念产品，1978年甚至展示了自动对焦（AF）功能的单反相机，2006年与松下合作的Digilux3也说明贵司一直非常重视自动对焦技术，事实上徕卡SL也在同级产品里有非常出色的自动对焦（AF）表现，是否可以就这个问题谈谈？（现在产品线MF、AF并行）
严格上讲Digilux3是第一台自动化徕卡相机
Stefan Daniel：It is true that Leitz pioneered the AF technology, but did not develop it into serial products. Today, AF technology is mandatory for many speed driven applications such as sports-, action and press photography. Leica boosts this technology in its Leica T, S and SL cameras. Manual focus is one of the key success factors of the Leica M System because the lenses do not need integrated drive motors and electronics. This allows the M system to be the smallest and most compact full frame system (cameras+lens) in the market.
Stefan Daniel：的确，徕卡相机曾于徕兹（Leitz）时期取得过自动对焦（AF）的相关专利，但最终并未开发成系列产品。如今，自动对焦（AF）技术已经是许多速度驱动的应用中不可或缺的一部分，比如：运动模式，动作模式以及新闻摄影模式。徕卡相机在徕卡T系列、S系列和SL系列的产品上都优化了这项技术，而手动对焦是徕卡M系列表现卓绝的关键因素之一，正因为它的镜头不需要驱动马达和电子元件。这也同样促使徕卡M系列成为市场上最小巧、最紧凑的全画幅相机（机身+镜头）。
实际上徕卡不少相机已经全自动化
