Description
24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor and GR Engine 6 Introducing an enhanced design, the camera boasts a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor in conjunction with a new GR Engine 6, yielding high-resolution 14-bit DNG or JPEG stills.
These images exhibit remarkable tonality, authentic colour rendition, and heightened sensitivity across ISO 100-102400.
Alongside full-resolution, wide-angle captures, it offers two practical crop modes: 35mm at 15MP and 50mm at 7MP, facilitating the simulation of longer focal lengths for diverse photographic possibilities.
Prime Wide-Angle Lens A fixed prime 18.3mm lens offers a comfortable 28mm equivalent wide-angle lens, which is complemented by a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture to suit working in a variety of lighting conditions.
The optical construction incorporates six elements in four groups, including two aspherical elements that help to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
Two focusing modes also suit working with general subjects, from 3.9″ to infinity, while a dedicated macro setting benefits working with close-up subjects within a 2.4-4.7″ range.
An internal two-stop-effective (ND 0.6) filter is also available for either slowing the shutter speed or permitting working with a wider aperture setting, and the lens has a nine-blade diaphragm to contribute to a smooth bokeh quality.
Additionally, the redeveloped lens design also results in greater contrast and measures 1.5mm thinner than previous GR/GR II digital cameras.
Shake Reduction System Featured for the first time in a GR camera, a 3-axis Shake Reduction System helps to minimize the appearance of camera shakes to promote sharper handheld shooting at slower shutter speeds.
The Shake Reduction System has been optimized for use with the built-in 28mm-equivalent lens, which renders it smaller and more effective.
Additionally, the SR unit also offers moiré reduction and dust removal capabilities.
Body Design The hallmark feature of the GR series has been its compact, pocketable size while still retaining a large image sensor and bright prime lens.
The rear layout of the camera has been completely redesigned and prioritizes a larger, more comfortable thumb grip along with easily accessible physical dials.
Additionally, the ADJ lever, FN button, and Touch AF operations can be programmed to handle specific assignable functions for more personalized control.
