The GX200 is a high-end 24mm ultra-wide-angle optical zoom digital compact featuring high resolution 12 megapixel CCD coupled with the latest imaging engine SIE III the GX200 is capable to reproduce high quality images from edge-to-edge with low noise and natural gradation.
This camera succeeds the award winning Caplio GX100 compact digital camera introduced in April 2007. Inheriting the highly popular Caplio GX100 features such as a 24 to 72mm (35mm film equivalent focal length) high-performance wide-angle optical zoom lens on a 25mm thin pocketable compact body, a wide variety of manual shooting functions, and a removable tilting electronic viewfinder, the new GX200 achieves increased resolution via its 12 megapixel CCD and dramatic noise reduction with the addition of the new image processing engine Smooth Imaging Engine III. Already a popular part of the Caplio GX100, the high-resolution wide-angle lens unit has been further configured to enable picture taking at an even higher resolution. With a large wide-viewing angle 2.7-inch 460,000 dots HVGA LCD and an electronic level function, for horizontal and vertical shooting, the GX200 contains extensive shooting functions to enable camera lovers to enjoy and create stunning photographs. This model comes in two package types with different accessories. The GX200 package contains: rechargeable lithium ion battery, battery charger, AV cable, USB cable, CD-ROM, strap, and lens cap. The GX200 VF KIT package contains all the above accessories plus the electronic viewfinder.
New image processing engine - Smooth Imaging Engine III - allows for greater control over the noise reduction process by the photographer without sacrificing resolution or saturation
24 to 72mm equivalent wide-angle zoom lens , including superior aspheric surface lenses and high-refractive-index, low-dispersion lenses.
Electronic level utilizing an acceleration sensor to help keep the camera horizontally or vertically level.
Extensive shooting functions and high operability - Expanding buffer memory has made continuous shooting of up to five images possible in RAW mode, and it is also now possible to use the bracketing functionto automatically change exposure settings when shooting in RAW mode.
Capable of shooting 1:1 aspect ratio (vertical/horizontal ratio) format photography in RAW mode
The number of mode dial "My Settings" options for defining your own shooting settings has increased to three. (There were two on the Caplio GX100)
The AF target shift function, which before could only be used in macro shooting,is now also available in normal shooting. Without moving the camera, it is possible to shift the target for AF or AE or both.
Flash functions on the GX200 have been further expanded with a light intensity adjustment function (-2.0 EV to +2.0 EV), a manual flash function in which intensity can be set, and a flash synchro setting where flash timing can be set as "1st Curtain" or "2nd Curtain."
Even when shooting in high-contrast situations, the camera can use an auto levelcorrection function to achieve an appropriate level of brightness while reducingareas that are overly bright or dark
There is a distortion correction function (on/off selection possible) to automatically correct image distortion during shooting also usable with 19mm conversion lens.
When in aperture priority mode, an auto aperture shift function will automatically adjust the aperture setting to prevent overexposure.
Enhanced image editing functions enable images to be manipulated in the camera.
