With the GX-20, experience a more beautiful world.
The world is brighter and more vivid that you can see, and it’s more bountiful than you can feel. With a 14.6 Megapixel APS-C size CMOS image sensor, you’ll see an entirely new world. Excellent out-focusing allows you to capture an amazingly vivid image, and superior definition means you’ll always get the ultimate brightness.
In conjunction with the Glass Pentaprism which is conventionally applied to advanced DSLR cameras, the GX-20’s broad and clear view offers a remarkable 95% of filed of view with 0.95X magnification ensuring a bright and clear view.
With 14.6 Megapixels in an APS-C size (23.4x15.5mm), the GX-20 offers the greatest resolution in its class. Further, its sturdy 5.0?-size pixels - the smallest in their class - ensure the most vibrant image around.
GX-20 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.
While most existing white-balancing functions use only standard values according to the situation, the GX-20 provides delicate, 100K step colour temperature adjustments which give a more accurate white-balance control.
The GX-20’s built-in OIS gives you clear, steady pictures in low light situations in which the shutter speed is slow, or even if you’re using a lens with no anti-shake function.
The GX-20 measures 11 focus points to include subjects at different distances. Specifically, 9 central focus points adjust the focus accurately from any direction - vertically and horizontally. Two additional left and right focus points give the GX-20 great focussing flexibility. Also provided is the focus point converting function (by which a user can choose the location of the Auto Focus subject) and the super-impose function for adding a red highlight at the focus point.
The GX-20’s OIS prevents shake by means of a center plate positioning that moves in the opposite direction of shaking. This feature ensures detailed, vivid pictures even in conditions of less-than-desirable illumination.
Be free of even the finest dust GX-20 stays cleaner than the rest
It’s not the weather’s fault, nor is it your fault. When your picture has a mysterious flaw, it’s because of dust inside the camera. With a special coating and a vibration mechanism, the GX-20’s image sensor stays free of even the finest dust to deliver the cleanest and most vivid picture imaginable.
Viewfinders are the method of choice for DSLR cameras. As such, LCD displays have rarely been used, or have only been of small size (1.8 to 2.0 inches). Superior to the GX-10’s 2.5" LCD, the GX-20 features a new 2.7" high-resolution LCD monitor providing an ultra-wide viewing angle covering all directions. The 230,000-pixel high-resolution LCD guarantees clear image preview as well as convenience in using the menu with an outstanding visibility.
One tiny speck of dust on the image sensor can become a major flaw in your pictures. The GX-20’s image sensor features a special coating that resists dust and protects picture quality.
The ‘My Settings’ mode on the GX-20 lets you pre-select the modes you prefer to use most often. Modes such as Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority, Auto, Program, Manual and others.
Additionally in the P(program) mode, you can choose either Front E-Dial or Rear E-Dial, and you can use the functions faster and more easily with the Green Button to automatically adjust exposure during manual photography.
The GX-20 provides a multi-exposure shooting function that shows 2 - 9 photos on one screen while shooting.
This facility allows difficult tasks such as editing and digital collages to be handled much more easily.
