RAW format was once a unique patent of digital SLR cameras. The so-called RAW format refers to a file that records the original information of a digital camera sensor, and also records some original data (Metadata, such as IS0 settings, shutter speed, aperture value, white balance, etc.) generated by the camera. RAW is an unprocessed and uncompressed format. RAW can be conceptualized as "original image encoded data" or more vividly as "digital negative". Therefore, for those photography enthusiasts who like post-processing and want to obtain more original information, shooting in RAW format is essential.
However, nowadays, this shooting format, which is widely favored by photography enthusiasts, has also been introduced into many high-end DCs. The just-released Canon G10 is one of them. However, I also need to remind everyone here that for small DC, the image quality of the RAW format output is not necessarily better than the JPG format.
For the first time, Boshow PowerShot G10 uses a CCD with up to 14.7 million effective pixels and an upgraded image processor DIGIC 4, which can delicately depict the color and texture of the subject, giving photographers amazing picture expression. . Even when printed to A2 size, image details are still clearly discernible. The zoom range of PowerShot G10 is 28mm-140mm, and the focal length range covers from wide angle to medium telephoto. It is worth mentioning that the new product adds the 28mm wide angle that photography enthusiasts have long awaited to the lens, bringing a new shooting perspective. And a fresh composition that is different from the past.
As a successor to the G9, the G10 still uses a 3.0-inch "Jingxuan II" LCD display design, and the number of points has increased from about 230,000 points in the PowerShot G9 to about 461,000 points in the PowerShot G10. . The number of vertical points has been doubled, so when shooting subjects with vertical lines or circles, they will appear clearer, and the display of dark levels has also been significantly improved.
In terms of appearance design, the solid aluminum body is spray-painted with a leather-like color. It is compact but has a heavy presence, all of which highlight the extraordinary personality of PowerShot G10. Using a metal turntable, the comfort from the hands during operation triggers creative passion. In terms of operability, considering that mid-to-high-end users will often use the exposure compensation function, a new independent exposure compensation dial is added to the top of the fuselage, which can be adjusted in 1/3 steps between ±2 stops. It is convenient for users to quickly adjust exposure compensation when shooting to get the appropriate exposure. The mode dial and ISO sensitivity dial are stacked to form a double-layer dial, making the body more compact.
