From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The Mark of Power Excellence
--------------------------------
The all-new Power ship, the Power G1 X Mark II raises
performance and quality to new heights in a compact, brilliant
design. Featuring a huge, 1.5-inch 12.8 Megapixel
High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, a powerful DIGIC 6 Image Processor
and an all-new 5x wide-angle optical zoom lens with Optical Image
Stabilizer and a circular, 9-blade aperture for stunning blurred
backgrounds, the Power G1 X Mark II delivers the outstanding
image quality you would expect with a digital SLR camera but in a
portable, Wi-Fi® and NFC enabled package. It can capture 14-bit
RAW plus JPEG images, features a staggering 31 focus points for
speedy and accurate AF, a capacitive 3.0-inch tilt-type touch
panel LCD and has newly developed Dual Control Rings on the lens
barrel for fast control of exposure and focus. An optional
high-resolution electronic viewfinder adds to the camera's
professional feel and functionality. Whether being used as a
companion to an EOS digital SLR or as a standalone camera, the
Power G1 X Mark II has the power to handle most any
photographic situation it encounters.
Optimal Image Capture in a Compact Camera
-----------------------------------------
Canon 1.5-inch, 12.8 Megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS Sensor
-----------------------------------------------------------
Almost as large as the APS-C CMOS sensor found in many EOS
digital SLRs, and bigger than those found in 4/3 system cameras,
the Power G1 X Mark II's sensor sets the standard for
sensitivity and resolving power in compact cameras. Each cell
area is 4.5x the size of those found in 1/1.7 type sensors and is
thus able to capture more light at the pixel level. This means
better detail, even at higher ISOs, with minimal noise and
distortion and, thanks to the sensor's wide cell pitch,
breathtaking dynamic range. The Power G1 X Mark II camera
natively captures images in the 3:2 aspect ratio, which is the
same as Canon EOS SLR cameras. The Power G1 X Mark II also
features a new Aspect Ratio function, enabling RAW image capture
in both 3:2 and 4:3 aspect ratios while maintaining the same
angle of view.
Canon DIGIC 6 Image Processor
-----------------------------
The Power G1 X Mark II camera is equipped with the very
latest Canon proprietary processor, the DIGIC 6 Image Processor,
which makes several important advancements to image quality both
in stills and video. Improved light sensitivity allows for higher
resolution with less noise when shooting in dark conditions, and
Dynamic IS now detects and compensates for tilt and parallel
movement (shift blur) to create video that's exceptionally free
of distortion. The DIGIC 6 Image Processor also enhances the
performance capabilities of the Power G1 X Mark II, powering
full resolution high-speed continuous still shooting and the
advanced Star shooting modes. Video has also been
improved with MP4 for better compatibility with mobile
devices and s. Highly compressed MP4 video not only
preserves space on your memory card but also improves playback on
mobile devices. Plus, with MF Peaking possible thanks to the new
processor, you'll have a pro-level focusing tool at your
disposal.
Canon HS SYSTEM
---------------
The Canon HS SYSTEM lets you take bright, clear photos in an even
wider range of shooting situations. Beautiful low-light s are
possible with minimal noise and maximum detail in highlight and
shadow areas. The system is the result of two technologies in the
Power G1 X Mark II: the amazing 1.5-inch High-Sensitivity
CMOS imaging sensor, which is able to capture more light; and the
DIGIC 6 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise at high ISO
speeds and processes images at high speed, even at full
resolution. Thus, the Canon HS SYSTEM allows you to use higher
shutter speeds to capture clearer images with reduced noise and
blur in more situations.
Wide, Bright and Fast Optics For Superior Image Capture
-------------------------------------------------------
5x Optical Zoom plus a new f/2.0 – f/3.9, 24mm Wide-Angle lens
with Optical Image Stabilizer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Developed specifically for the Power G1 X Mark II, this large
aperture lens offers the highest specifications for any camera in
this class, and incorporates dramatic improvements on all fronts
based upon the feedback of Power G1 X users. It offers a 5x
zoom factor with a 24–120mm equivalent range that's perfect for
any number of shooting scenarios, and it has an incredibly bright
aperture value of f/2.0 at wide angle and f/3.9 fully zoomed. It
has a newly designed inner focusing system which enables fast AF
speed with minimal lens movement, a reduced focusing distance of
5cm, features 14 elements in 11 groups and has a 9-blade aperture
diaphragm for beautiful background blur. Engineered to perform
and deliver gorgeous images every time, it's the perfect lens for
the Power G1 X Mark II camera's amazing sensor. And, in
response to the overwhelming requests from Power G1 X users,
it has an integral lens cap.
Optical Image Stabilizer
------------------------
Handheld shooting can often lead to camera shake, making photos
and videos blurry. Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer is a
sophisticated system that uses lens-shift technology to correct
for unwanted camera movement. It makes handheld photography more
practical in more shooting situations, providing excellent image
quality in many difficult situations: outdoors at dusk, inside
without a flash, and even at the telephoto end of the zoom range
without a tripod. For still photos, it enables shooting at slower
shutter speeds, accommodating more low-light shooting situations
than ever before without having to boost ISO sensitivity. With
camera shake and vibration reduced, you get a sharper, steadier
image. And because it is an optical system, there is none of the
image degradation typical with electronic image stabilizers.

SLR camera users, but star shooting modes on the Power G1 X
Mark II camera make these wonderfully impressive images
accessible to all. With just a tripod and simple settings, you
can capture exquisite Star Nightscapes, Star Trails, Star
Time-Lapse Movies and Star Portrait. The new Star Portrait mode,
which consecutively takes two s of the subject plus one of
the night sky and then merges them into a single image, enables
beautiful portraits with a starry background. The modes can be
performed fully automatic or with manual controls for extra
versatility. Support functions including Night Display, Color
Adjustment and Star Emphasis make any starry sky easier to
capture.

Additional Features
-------------------
31 AF points
------------
With 31 easily selectable focus points arranged in an expanded,
wide pattern across the image plane, the Power G1 X Mark II
focuses with admirable speed and precision. With smaller focus
frame sizes, AiAF focus is more accurate, and with an expanded
focus area, the camera has the ability to track focus, accurately
and quickly, even when subjects are off center. The Power G1
X Mark II also supports 1-point and Touch AF.
New Selectable Multiple Aspect Ratio
------------------------------------
Whereas the original Power G1 X was only able to record RAW
images in the 4:3 aspect ratio, the Power G1 X Mark II is
equipped with a new Aspect Ratio Function that can switch between
3:2 and 4:3 aspect ratios. When shooting in ratios of 3:2 and
16:9, the Power G1 X Mark II will record a RAW file in a 3:2
ratio, and when shooting in 4:3, 1:1 and 4:5, the camera will
record a RAW in 4:3.
Intelligent IS
--------------
It's easy to capture clear, steady images with the Power G1 X
Mark II, even in low light without using a tripod. That's because
the camera is equipped with Canon's innovative Intelligent IS.
The system automatically analyzes camera movement and applies the
best shake correction method for the shooting situation –
allowing you to focus on framing and capturing your . For
stills, the system selects from Normal IS, Panning IS, Macro
(Hybrid) IS and Tripod modes. When shooting video, the system
selects from Dynamic IS, Powered IS, Macro (Hybrid) IS and active
Tripod IS modes. New icons clearly mark the image stabilization
mode, whether you're shooting still images or video.
Still Image Shooting Normal IS Corrects for a wide range of
camera movement when shooting stills. Panning IS Panning motion
is detected so that IS does not interfere with desired camera
movement. Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for shift-type camera shake,
which typically occurs in macro (close-up) shooting. Tripod When
tripod use is detected, the Image Stabilizer is stopped because
it is not needed. Video Dynamic IS Effective for video
shooting at wide-angle focal lengths, eliminating the unwanted
shaking that typically occurs while walking. Powered IS
Compensates for hand movement when shooting video at the
telephoto end of the zoom range, where camera shake is magnified.
Macro (Hybrid) IS Corrects for motion blur that is likely to
occur when shooting video while walking. Also compensates for the
shift-type camera shake common in macro shooting. Active Tripod
IS When shooting video while using a tripod, the image
stabilization is active to compensate for slight camera shake.
Compatible with Canon Speedlite flashes
---------------------------------------
The Power G1 X Mark II digital camera gives you access to
exciting EOS accessories including all of the Canon Speedlite
flashes, long revered by professional photographers. The high
output of Speedlite flashes brings out the depth and texture of
your images in full, natural beauty. The ultra-lightweight Canon
Speedlite 270EX II is a compact, high-performance flash unit
that's fun and easy to use, with adjustable illumination angle
and guide number; the versatile Speedlite 320EX features an LED
light on the front of the flash body that can be used to
illuminate nearby subjects in dim light, ideal for shooting
video.
High Dynamic Range scene mode
-----------------------------
Shooting in high contrast environments can often result in photos
with overexposed and underexposed sections. In order to tackle
this problem, Canon developed the High Dynamic Range shooting
mode to make shooting even more intuitive. Under High Dynamic
Range the camera will shoot three different exposures in
succession (underexposed, overexposed and normal) and then merge
them into a single image. Underexposed areas are combined with
the overexposed and vice versa, resulting in an evenly detailed
image with flattering shadows and highlights. The Power G1 X
Mark II allows you to use this mode without a tripod and features
four sub-modes in addition to Natural – Art Standard, Art Vivid,
Art Bold and Art Embossed – which provide striking effects that
add to the creativity of your compositions.
