Like an owl hunting at night. 🦉🌌

Forensic photography isn't like taking a portrait in a well-lit studio. Investigators are routinely challenged by low-light environments, nondescript backgrounds, and faint "blobs" of trace evidence. Standard autofocus algorithms simply aren't built for this.

To solve this, the Crime-lite AUTO 2 features an advanced phase-contrast autofocus algorithm utilizing over 700 focus points. The moment you press the focus button, the system aggressively targets and latches onto the most subtle details in the frame, operating with the precision of an owl hunting in the dark.

The result? Razor-sharp details and flawless photos, even in the most challenging, low-contrast conditions.

Complete control, right at your fingertips. 📸🔍

We’ve re-engineered the user experience for the new Crime-lite AUTO 2 to make forensic imaging more intuitive and seamless than ever before. While the touchscreen interface remains fully functional, we know that tactile control is critical in the field.

That’s why we’ve introduced two new physical buttons directly on the grip: a dedicated functional shortcut button and a highly requested shutter button.

Just like a professional DSLR, a simple half-press of the shutter dials in your focus, and a full press captures the evidence. No fumbling, no looking away from your subject, just crisp, accurate forensic photography that lets you work faster and smarter.

Discover how the Crime-lite AUTO 2 is transforming crime scene investigations.

The system automatically recognizes the hardware in seconds, allowing you to instantly begin your examination.

Whether you need to photograph a fingermark on a highly reflective flat surface like a glass window, or adapt to a complex substrate, the AUTO 2 gives you the adaptability you need without slowing you down.
