NEW WAY
iA Mode Helps You Get Beautiful Shots Anytime, Anyplace
iA mode can make all the
right settings – automatically
If you've resisted buying a digital SLR
camera because you think they're
hard to use, your wait is over. Meet
the G1, with iA (Intelligent Auto) mode. This mode activates six
detection and compensation functions that work automatically,
leaving you free to just aim and shoot. It's easier to get a beautiful
shot anytime, anyplace.
Contrast AF helps make Full-time Live View
even more effective
The G1 not only gives you the advantages of Full-time Live View,
it also adds contrast AF for even easier, more accurate focusing.
These technologies make possible a variety of convenient functions
- such as Face Detection AF and AF Tracking - that digital SLR
cameras with phase difference AF systems cannot offer.
Face detection - Face Detection AF/AE
The camera detects when there are faces in the frame and adjusts
the focus and exposure to capture them properly. This allows you
to shoot beautiful portraits without any hassle.
Shake detection - MEGA O.I.S.
Gyrosensors built into the lens detect hand-shake and an O.I.S.
shifts to compensate. Assisting you in getting those clear,
beautiful, blur-free photos.
Motion detection - Intelligent ISO Control
If the subject moves as you snap the shot, the camera
automatically adjusts the ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to help
prevent subject blur.
Scene detection - Intelligent Scene Selector
The camera automatically selects whichever of fi ve Scene modes
– Portrait, Night Portrait, Scenery, Night Scenery, and Close-up –
best suits the situation.
Subject detection - AF Tracking
Once you've focused on a subject, AF Tracking keeps the subject
in focus – even if it moves – until you press the shutter button.
* For use in iA mode, AF Tracking must be selected in advance.
Light detection - Intelligent Exposure
The camera can correct the brightness in parts of the image that
are too dark due to insuffi cient lighting, backlighting or use of the
fl ash.
Digital Red-Eye Correction
The red-eye correction in the built-in fl ash and the camera's
image processing circuit work together to reduce red-eye
when you're using the fl ash to take shots of people.
Versatile 1-area auto focus for fi ner focusing precision
When using 1-area AF mode, you can
move the auto-focusing area in the
frame. You can also change the size of
focus area to Spot, Normal, L, or XL to
fine-tune the focusing in complicated
shooting compositions.
23 AF areas cover more of the frame
T h e a u t o f o c u s s y s t e m i s k e y e d
to 23 areas all around the frame,
automatically assuring the optimal AF
operation for any scene you're shooting.
*This is a simulated image. All 23 AF areas are not
simultaneously displayed in fact.
Quick AF: Focusing starts as soon as you aim the
camera
The camera begins focusing the instant it determines you're in
a shooting stance. This system focuses quicker than the usual
method of pressing the shutter button halfway, so you're ready
sooner to capture the moment.
Auto Backlight Compensation
When set to iA mode, the auto backlight compensation
function activates whenever the camera detects that
the light source is behind the subject. It gives you
pictures with a wide dynamic range even in high contrast
situations.
