The GX-1L digital SLR combines fantastic ease of use with state-of-the-art optical and digital technologies.
This well specified model offers brilliant image quality and easy operation, allowing photographers to focus
on what's really important - great pictures. GX-1L offers a wealth of user-friendly features, including an optical viewfinder for clear, accurate image framing and a large LCD for displaying and reviewing images, all in a compact, robust body.

GX-1L is ergonomically designed for fantastic ease of use. Made with a light and robust stainless steel chassis,
its body weighs only 505g. The specially-finished grip adds a stable picture-taking capability to this super-light,
slim digital SLR. One of many features of GX-1L is the large 2.5" LCD, making it well equipped to display the high quality of the images taken.

The pentamirror viewfinder provides 96% coverage rate, meaning that the view you have is almost identical to the image you will create.

GX-1L has a 2.1 million-pixel, 2.5-inch large TFT LCD, providing a wide and clear screen, enabling you to review the image more easily,
thus enhancing picture accuracy and clarity.

The large and clear LCD also allows you to easily navigate the camera's menu.
This enables you to control the camera settings, such as resolution and picture quality as well as settings
including ISO, white balance, drive mode, and flash settings.

A separate information LCD on top of the camera makes the GX-1L even easier to use.
The LCD displays information about camera operation, including shutter speed, iris value, flash operation, photographing mode, focus, bracketing, white balance, and remaining battery capacity.

Equipped with a 16-split photometry system, GX-1L enables accurate measurements of the intensity of
radiation and colour distribution based on the AF information even in tricky lighting conditions. This allows you to obtain the best exposure for each different circumstance.
Available modes are: Multi, Center-weighted and Spot.

The superior Schneider-Kreuznach lens produces crystal clear images. By using a highly refractive lens,
chromatics and distortion are eliminated. For more natural-looking pictures, each lens surface is multi-coated
to minimize the "ghost" or "flare" phenomenon.

GX-1S has an auto sensitivity feature that automatically adjusts sensitivity according to the ambient exposure conditions up to ISO 3200. It is equipped with the standard output features of ISO 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200.
The high sensitivity setting of ISO 3200 enables you to take clear indoor pictures in the dark without camera
shake and the resulting image blurring.

With continuous shooting at 2.8 (up to 8 if the noise reduction is off) pictures per second,GX-1L will meet the expectations of even the most demanding photographers.

With a total of seven modes, including landscape, macro, and standard, GX-1L takes a great shot in every situation.
In AUTO SCN mode, the camera automatically identifies the subject and selects the best mode from the five modes: portrait, landscape,macro, moving object, and standard.
The AUTO SCN mode automatically adjusts AF,white balance, saturation, sharpness, and contrast as well as exposure, making sure that the camera's settings are placed to capture the best possible picture.

GX-1L supports precise shutter speeds from 30 seconds to 1/4000 seconds, enabling a wide range of photo-taking techniques, including capturing moving subjects and using the long shutter and the bulb shutter for night-time shooting.

The exposure-correction dial and the AE lock button are located in the position that is easy to access while photographing, improving ease of use and convenience.

GX-1L has a jog dial featuring the preview lever for checking the depth of field, thus maximizing ease of use and efficiency.

GX-1L helps you achieve more accurate images with the autobracketing feature, which allows you to select the best image according to the 3-step exposure.
