Product information
The G2 is the world's first system camera with touch-control shooting. Just touch the LCD to indicate the subject, and the G2 focuses on it instantly. Choose from four AF modes to match the conditions. You can also operate the auto focus and shutter release at the same time with just a touch, for a completely new way to shoot.
You can adjust the exposure compensation by sliding your finger on the aperture and shutter speed settings in the exposure meter shown on the LCD. The range in which appropriate exposure is not possible is shown in red, so you can intuitively grasp the corresponding aperture and shutter speed combinations.
A touch is all it takes to make a variety of settings, including photo size, ISO sensitivity and white balance. You spend less time fiddling with the camera and more time getting great shots.
A variety of touch-control operations make playback quick, easy and more fun. For example, with touch-scroll playback you simply slide your finger across the LCD to scroll through images. And with touch-zoom playback, you can simply touch a part of the image to enlarge it to as much as 16x.
The hybrid G2 lets you take both high quality photos and HD movies. You can shoot breathtaking HD (1280 x 720) movies in AVCHD Lite (MPEG-4 AVC/H. 264). You can record for a longer time without running out of memory because AVCHD lite stores less data than motion JPEG while maintaining stunning image clarity and detail. A dedicated button on the top lets you instantly start recording movies while shooting photos, without having to make any extra settings.
The large 3.0-inch LCD rotates 180° horizontally and 270° vertically, making it easy for you to capture dynamic shots from extreme angles without getting into an awkward position. And when the lighting around you changes, the LCD backlighting level automatically changes too, so you get comfortable, easy-on-the-eyes viewing at all times.
The G2's 4/3-type 12.1-megapixel live MOS sensor offers the best of both worlds the superior image quality of a CCD sensor, and the lower power consumption of a CMOS sensor. This sensor is also advantageous for photo and movie recording with its high S/N, thanks to an advanced circuit structure that is unaffected by the noise generated in each of the circuits. It results in clear images even when taken at high ISO sensitivity.
With the G2 you're always ready for those sudden, spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities. Just press the dedicated iA button and aim the camera at your subject. The G2 automatically determines the most suitable scene mode and helps correct blurring, focus, and brightness problems to capture great photos.
While taking photos my color mode makes it easy to capture creative images. Just aim the camera and select any of seven preset effects, including silhouette, expressive, pure and others, while checking the image in live view. The custom setting lets you adjust the color, brightness and saturation to your liking, to further expand your creative palette.
The venus engine HD II incorporates two CPUs. This not only boosts image processing speed, it also helps achieve an exceptional noise-reduction performance. Also, the two CPUs of the venus engine HD II allow long-time movie recording in AVCHD lite while maintaining low power consumption. And the venus engine HD II features a circuit that makes intelligent resolution technology possible too.
In iA mode, the G2 automatically identifies parts with outlines, detailed texture areas and soft gradation areas, and optimizes the edge emphasis on the outlines and detailed texture areas while using the Venus Engine noise reduction process to make the soft gradation areas smoother. You can capture stunning images with details you've never seen before in both photo and movie recording.
If dust or other foreign matter gets inside the camera when you're changing lenses, it could cling to the image sensor and show up as a spot in photos. The G2 helps eliminate this possibility by placing a Supersonic Wave Filter in front of the live MOS sensor. Vibrating around 50,000 times per second, the filter repels dust and other particles. This keeps the image sensor clean at all times and eliminates the need for cumbersome maintenance procedures.
Simply take the SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card from the G2 and slip it into the card slot of a VIERA or Blu-ray Disc player, and you're ready to view HD images. For even greater impact and entertainment fun, you can add background music and image effects to your image slideshows.
