Light & compact design
GX-1S
is ergonomically designed for fantastic ease of use. Made with a light and
robust stainless steel chassis, its body weighs only 505g. The
specially-finished grip adds a stable picture-taking capability to this
super-light, slim digital SLR. One of many features of GX-1S is the large 2.5"
LCD, making it well equipped to display the high quality of the images
taken.
Bright Pentaprism viewfinder with picture coverage of 95%
GX-1S
has adopted the Pentaprism viewfinder to capture larger and clearer images,
enabling the user to easily identify subtle changes. The Pentaprism uses the
reflecting surface processed with deposition and coating technology that
increases penetration efficiency, thus ensuring a large and clear view, high
magnification of 0.95, and the high picture coverage of 95%, that would be
impossible with mirror-based technology.
2.5-inch large TFT LCD
GX-1S
has a 2.1 million-pixel, 2.5-inch large TFT LCD, providing a wide and clear
screen, enabling you to review the image more easily, thus enhancing picture
accuracy and clarity.
Versatile screen display
The
large and clear LCD also allows the user to easily navigate the camera''''s menu.
This enables the user to control the camera settings, such as resolution and
picture quality as well as settings including ISO, white balance, drive mode,
and stroboscope.
Convenient information LCD
A separate
information LCD on top of the camera makes the GX-1S even easier to use. The LCD
displays information about camera operation, including shutter speed, iris
value, flash operation, photographing mode, focus, bracketing, white balance,
and remaining battery capacity.
11-point stadimeter AF feature
Equipped
with an 11-point stadimeter high-precision AF feature,GX-1S provides a wide
range of AF and AF features. The central 9 points form a cross sensor that
adjusts the focus on any horizontal or vertical line. They offer excellent
flexibility in determining the composition by bringing even an off-centre
subject into focus. Additional features include a setting which allows the
user to select the position of the AF object, and the display of available
focusing points in red.
TTL open-aperture 16-segment metering system
Equipped
with a 16-split photometry system, GX-1S enables accurate measurements of the
intensity of radiation and colour distribution based on the AF information even
in tricky lighting conditions. This allows the user to obtain the best exposure
for each different circumstance. Available modes are: Multi, Center-weighted and
Spot.
Highly sensitive photographing supported (ISO 3200)
GX-1S
has an auto sensitivity feature that automatically adjusts sensitivity according
to the ambient exposure conditions up to ISO 3200. It is equipped with the
standard output features of ISO 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. The high
sensitivity setting of ISO 3200 enables the user to take clear indoor pictures
in the dark without camera shake and the resulting image blurring.
Continuous shooting of 2.8 pictures per second
With
continuous shooting at 2.8 (up to 8 if the noise reduction is off) pictures per
second,GX-1S will meet the expectations of even the most demanding
photographers.
Convenient mode dial
With
a total of seven modes, including landscape, macro, and standard, GX-1S takes a
great shot in every situation. In AUTO SCN mode, the camera automatically
identifies the subject and selects the best mode from the five modes: portrait,
landscape,macro, moving object, and standard. The AUTO SCN mode automatically
adjusts AF,white balance, saturation, sharpness, and contrast as well as
exposure, making sure that the camera''''s settings are placed to capture the best
possible picture.
Bulb shutter and 1/4000 sec high-speed shutter
GX-1S
supports precise shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000 seconds, enabling
awide range of photo-taking techniques, including capturing moving subjects and
using the long shutter and the bulb shutter for night-time
shooting.
The exposure correction device and the AE lock feature
The
exposure-correction dial and the AE lock button are located in the position that
is easy to access while photographing, improving ease of use and
convenience.
The electronic preview lever for checking the depth of field
GX-1S
has a jog dial featuring the preview lever for checking the depth of field, thus
maximizing ease of use and efficiency.
Auto-bracketing - Take pictures with the 3 step exposure
GX-1S
helps the user achieve more accurate images with the autobracketing feature,
which allows the user to select the best image according to the 3-step
exposure.
Optimized tuning engine
The
GX-1S uses an image processing chip that implements the best image quality under
any circumstance. Equipped with an optimized tuning engine, the GX-1S
processes high resolution large volume data in high speed and optimised the best
outcome with crystal clear image quality with minimum noise levels.
Three different white balance bracketing(WBB): Auto, preset and manual
The
GX-1S supports Auto WBB that automatically optimises the white balance of a
light source measured with an image sensor. Preset WBB can optimises selectively
depending on the characteristics of the light source such as sunlight, shadow,
cloudy, fluorescent light (D: daylight blue, N: daylight white,W: white),
incandescent lamp, strobe light, and Manual WBB that allows the user to choose
and apply the white balance they need.
Five step adjustment of saturation, contrast and sharpness
The
GX-1S supports five-step adjustment of image colour, tone and clarity. By
adjusting image saturation and contrast, the user can express various colours
and create the deep color touches. By adjusting image sharpness, a crisp or
smooth image may be produced, depending on the desired outcome.
RAW file support
The
GX-1S supports the high quality RAW file format. A RAW file is commonly referred
to as an undeveloped digital negative file. You can edit all or part of an image
in a RAW file with the Digimax Master program. Supporting aRAWfile, the GX-1S
