The GX-10''s large 10.2 Megapixel CCD (23.5 x 15.7 mm) enables superior out focusing, and vividly detailed pictures are made possible by its unmatched ability to capture light and colour.
When a picture is taken in dim light or from an unsteady stance, blurry pictures often result. GX-10''s OPS system, located within the camera’s body, enables you to obtain clear and shake-free pictures, even at slow shutter speeds or with a telephoto lens.
Using CCD Shift, GX-10’s OPS Mechanism moves the center plate in the opposite direction of any shake or sustained impact. This guarantees blurfree pictures, even in low light situations such as dusk.
Even at slow shutter speed settings, there’s no need to fear the effects of camera shake. Located within the body of the camera, GX-10’s OPS ensures blur-free photography with any lens.
Every time a DSLR camera’s lens is changed, the CCD is exposed to dust. If dust settles on the CCD, it can manifest itself as a glaring flaw in pictures. In order to prevent this from happening, the GX-10’s CCD features a special anti-dust coating that keeps pictures free of unsightly blemishes.
In addition to the CCD’s anti-dust coating, the GX-10 features an advanced dust removal function in which the CCD is lightly shaken at startup in order to shed any pesky dust that may have withstood the resistant coating. In addition to reducing the need for post-purchase professional cleaning, this function ensures clear, flawless pictures.
* The Dust Removal function can be set to either manual or automatic from the menu.
GX-10’s body is specially crafted to resist the influx of water or dust. A secure silicone seal has been implemented at 72 different points, including the shutter and other important buttons, to ensure that nothing harmful enters the camera.
Due to the GX-10’s tough build, it can be used in both good environments and bad. Whether it’s rainy, dusty, or sandy, you can shoot with confidence and peace of mind.
* First half ’07 launch planned for water-resistant lens
In an SLR camera, images that enter the lens are reflected to the viewfinder. The vividness and visibility ratio of what is seen are determined according to the use of the reflective device. In conjunction with the Glass Pentaprism, the GX-10’s broad and clear viewfinder offers a fantastic 95% field of view with 0.95X magnification, ensuring a bright and clear view.
The built-in RAW file converter allows you to convert RAW files to JPEG format without any computer interaction. Additionally, you can directly adjust image tones, the number of pixels, picture quality, AWB, ISO, sharpness, contrast, and saturation when converting files to JPEG format.
The GX-10 RAW shooting mode enables you to capture 9 frames at a rate of 3 per second. This outstanding function will help you to shoot dynamic, vivid scenes.
While common DSLR products utilize 16bit A/D conversion, GX-10 adopts a 22 bit A/D converter, which can process 1,024 times more image information at a time than other DSLR cameras. As such, it can express delicate colors, textures, sharpness, and a wide range of gradation.
GX-10 utilizes a cutting-edge semiconductor processor and Samsung high-speed DDR2 memory to realize fast, high-quality imaging. The DSP enables more natural definition, a wide range of gradation, continuous shooting, and a prompt response to dynamic subjects.
GX-10 adopts a brand-new user-friendly exposure mode to control shutter speed, aperture, and even ISO sensitivity.
Sv: Sensitivity priority Automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speed settings according to ISO levels
TAv: Shutter-speed & aperture priority Automatically controls ISO sensitivity to get an appropriate exposure value according to the user’s shutter speed and aperture settings.
