Before Using Your Camera

ƃ Features a 23.5x15.7 mm CCD with 10.14 million effective pixels for superior definition and a wide

dynamic range.

ƃ Coupled CCD shift type OPS (Optical Picture Stabilization) function. This feature will minimise

camera shake.

ƃ Features an Auto-Focus sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide cross area sensors.

ƃ Improved manual focusing using a viewfinder similar to a conventional 35 mm SLR camera, with

0.95x magnification. Also features a superimpose function in which the focus points on the viewfinder

illuminate red.

ƃ Features a Digital Preview function for checking the image to ensure that the desired result is

achieved.

ƃ Features a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor with 210,000 pixels and a brightness adjusting function for

high-precision viewing performance.

ƃ The large, high-resolution LCD monitor and clear menus make the camera easy to operate.

ƃ The SP coated CCD minimises dust. Any remaining dust can be removed with CCD clear function.

ƃ You can select JPEG or RAW image format. Or you can select JPEG and PAW at the same time.

ƃ This is a dustproof and damp proof camera for safe outdoor shooting.

GX-10 Camera Characteristics

ŝ13Ş

GX-10 Camera Characteristics

The captured area (view angle) will differ between the GX-10 and 35 mm SLR cameras even if the

same lens is used because the format size for 35 mm film and the CCD are different.

Sizes for 35 mm film and CCD

35 mm film : 36x24 mm

GX-10 CCD : 23.5x15.7 mm

Angles of view being equal, the focal length of a lens used with a 35 mm camera must be

approximately 1.5 times longer than that of GX-10. To obtain a focal length framing the same area,

divide the focal length of the 35 mm lens by 1.5.

Example) To capture the same image as a 150 mm lens attached to a 35 mm camera

150÷1.5=100

Use a 100 mm lens with the GX-10.

Conversely, multiply the focal length of the lens used with GX-10 by 1.5 to determine the focal

length for 35 mm cameras.

Example) If 300 mm lens is used with GX-10

300x1.5=450

Focal length is equivalent to 450 mm lens on a 35 mm camera.
