Product Description
Combining exceptional imaging performance with sophisticated handling, the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark II Digital Camera is a compact point-and-shoot that stands out due to its comprehensive feature set. Featuring a 20.1MP 1" CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor, this camera offers a maximum ISO of 12800 in Program mode, ensuring smooth image quality with minimal noise in low-light conditions. It can also capture stills at up to 8 fps and record Full HD 1080p60 video.
The versatile 4.2x zoom lens provides a 24-100mm equivalent focal length range, covering wide-angle to short-telephoto perspectives. With a fast f/1.8-f/2.8 maximum aperture, it maintains consistent performance throughout the zoom range and excels in challenging lighting conditions. The lens features a control ring for intuitive setting adjustments, and the 3.0" 1.04m-dot tilting touchscreen LCD allows for easy image composition from various angles. Additionally, the G7 X Mark II includes built-in Wi-Fi with NFC for wireless image sharing to smartphones or tablets and remote camera control via connected mobile devices.
20.1MP 1" CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 7 Image Processor
The 20.1MP 1" CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor work together to form the Canon HS SYSTEM, which delivers clean, clear images with minimal noise and a wide dynamic range, even at a top expanded sensitivity of ISO 12800. This combination also supports shooting raw or JPEG files at up to 8 fps and recording Full HD 1080p60 video with stereo sound.
The DIGIC 7 processor enhances focusing speeds and tracking capabilities, maintaining sharp focus on moving subjects, even in low light and low contrast situations. It also enables Dual Sensing IS, which uses image data to intelligently reduce blur caused by camera shake.
4.2x Optical Zoom Lens and Intelligent IS
The built-in 4.2x optical zoom lens offers a versatile 24-100mm equivalent focal length range and a bright f/1.8-f/2.8 maximum aperture, making it suitable for various lighting conditions. The fast aperture, combined with a nine-blade diaphragm, produces smooth bokeh when using selective focus techniques. Additionally, a Super Spectra Coating on individual lens elements significantly reduces lens flare and ghosting in strong lighting environments.
An Intelligent IS image stabilization system is also incorporated into the lens design to minimize the appearance of camera shake for a variety of shooting scenarios:
- Normal IS: Corrects for a wide variety of camera movement types when shooting stills.
- Panning IS: Intended for use when making tracking shots, this setting ensures that IS will not interfere with desired lateral camera movements.
- Macro (Hybrid) IS: Used for both stills and video recording, this setting corrects for shift-type camera shake that is common when photographing close-up subjects. It also compensates for motion blur associated with recording video while walking.
- Tripod: Image stabilization is deactivated when shooting stills atop a tripod.
- Dynamic IS: This setting is effective when recording video using wider focal lengths and simultaneously walking or moving.
- Powered IS: Ideally suited for shooting video with telephoto focal lengths, this mode compensates for the camera movements that become more apparent with greater zoom magnifications.
- Active Tripod IS: Unlike the stills tripod mode, this video-specific tripod mode compensates for slight amounts of shake that can be caused when recording movies from a tripod.
- A sleek, compact profile incorporates a large 3.0" 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD that features a 180° upward, 45° downward tilting design to support taking selfies or working from low shooting angles.
- A manual control ring surrounds the lens for intuitive control over select camera and exposure settings. The ring can also be set to have clicked intervals, for tactile recognition of settings changes, or can be de-clicked for smooth, quiet transitions between adjustments.
- Built-in Wi-Fi with NFC allows you to wirelessly share your photos and movies with a linked smartphone or tablet as well as remotely control the camera from the mobile device by using the Camera Connect app.
- Picture Style affords in-camera control over the color, contrast, and sharpness of imagery.
- In-camera raw file conversions let you preview and apply adjustments to files without needing to process the files on a computer.
- A Time-Lapse Movie function automatically compiles sequentially-recorded images taken at predetermined intervals and composites them into a seamless movie file for smooth playback.
- A dedicated Panning function can lock onto an intended subject and, using image stabilization, automatically adjust the shutter speed to render a sharp moving subject set against a blurred background.
