in "Canon G1 X Mark III quality articles"In the evaluation, we saw that as a relatively large frame card machine, with a new 3x optical zoom lens development, you can get a lot better than the same type of product image quality.With the EOS M series is different, G1 X Mark III does not need to consider a large lens group, the fuselage and high-quality lens integration, for the average user is actually a very worry-free thing, and it is also in the use of performance is our most concern, especially Is a feature function.

First, face recognition chase & drag the focus

Canon's original DIGIC 7 + Dual Pixels CMOS AF system is quite mature in all models, and now PowerShot G series can enjoy such a powerful upgrade experience. Mini digital camera G1 X Mark III for the first time with this Set of systems, 24.2-megapixel sensor can detect the difference between all pixels autofocus, is due to the technical support, only use this machine, whether using the viewfinder or the screen shots have a difficult scene fast and accurate Focus.

As shown in the picture above, the G1 X Mark III can quickly and accurately recognize this face for fast, accurate, and accurate AF while the person is moving fast, which for most situations uses the screen viewfinder Shooting, has a great help.And this identifiable range, is sufficient to reach 80% of the entire screen area, almost full coverage.

Canon G1 X Mark III is not equipped with the focus selector lever, then it is in the end is how to choose the point of focus? In fact, it follows the EOS M5 an excellent focusing method, that is, drag the focus. Drag the focus is on you When using the viewfinder, the thumb of the right hand touches the screen at the top right of the screen and you can see that the focus point will move with your thumb in the viewfinder. This is quite smart and easy to use.

Second, panning mode

Panning mode, initially we see it on the Canon EOS 6D Mark II full frame SLR camera. With this feature in scene mode, you can easily take pictures with moving effects such as walking people or other sports Its main feature is the main body of the activity is clear, but the surrounding scene has a radial blur effect, very natural and has a shock effect.

Panning mode is actually very simple to play: half-press the shutter, the focus and the object being photographed to maintain a certain 'relative speed of motion' after the shutter can be pressed in the automatic slow shutter support can immediately generate such a dynamic The success rate is still very high, but it should be noted that moving objects and the G1 X Mark III when moving relative to each other can maintain a parallel line, the moving objects will be fully displayed, otherwise it may be Only focus on the clear, the other parts of the fuzzy These are the experience of panning, playing more will have a feeling After having pan mode, practice more times, you can make a very wonderful dynamic photos.

Third, panoramic photos & handheld night

When we see the beautiful scenery, we are often wondering how to take beautiful scenery to share with friends and relatives. The picture size is usually 3: 2, 16: 9 or 1: 1, but if you are at a height When looking out, often you will find these proportions are not enough - so we will think of panoramic photos.Gl X Mark III panoramic photo mode not only supports left to right, right to left, but also supports up and down, down to Shoot up.

In shooting with G1 X Mark III panoramic photos, you need to be aware that the width of the photo will become very large, the entire picture capacity of hundreds of megabytes, so it is not recommended to immediately transfer to the phone. The general approach should be On the computer to deal with the size, do share.

The hand-held night view is a practical feature of the G1 X Mark III, which is designed specifically for nightmare students with a mess: First of all, there is an APS-C frame sensor on the G1 X Mark III and in the same environment, Compared to smartphones, the G1 X Mark III can take bright pictures and use a specially designed hand-held night scene for night-time handshake-induced blurring of people, using IS Electronic Image Stabilization to crop part of the edge picture for sharper imaging.

If you want to shoot a night scene with automatic transmission, the typical solution that the automatic machine provides is to keep the purity as much as possible (ISO 800 in the picture above) and use the low-speed shutter to shoot (1/20 second). , Hand-held night view is to use a high ISO (in the above image ISO 2500) in exchange for faster shutter speed (1/60 seconds) .Photographer will understand, but for ordinary members of the family, such as Mom and Dad, this is exactly To play the harpsichord.

Parents hope that the normal shutter time, can have a good clear imaging results, and handheld night is born, just click will enter the intelligent algorithm processing, and finally come to a clear night. Zhang night view, paste is equivalent to waste, but the photo is not paste, but slightly higher noise, which for most people is a better solution.

Fourth, time-lapse photography

Time-lapse photography, we see much, no stranger, but how to simply shoot such a high-end video, I believe many of my friends have to study it carefully Canon's G1 X Mark III is fully provided this feature, this is For the first time in the high-end full-frame SLR EOS 6D Mark II appears in the machine to generate delayed camera video function.

Time-lapse photography in the G1 X Mark III on the operation of the tips appear more simple and clear.General players really do not know how long to take their own time-lapse photography and how much time interval, this G1 X Mark III to give a preset Scene Recognition Select Help, Scene 1 is for moving subjects such as walking people, Scene 2 is for slowly changing subjects such as clouds, and Scene 3 is for slowly changing scenes.

I just selected scene 1, it automatically set to shoot every three seconds 300. And calculated to shoot 15 minutes and finally to play 12 seconds results. Intelligent choice, you do not need to brain-wrenching Calculating these parameter settings, it is very easy to use.

In the scene mode there are a lot of games, such as the girls favorite Selfie mode, miniature landscape, soft focus, etc. There is a submarine mode, but to dive with the G1 X Mark III words, to be purchased separately A special supporting waterproof case WP-DC56.

to sum up:

Canon's G1 X Mark III positioning is a professional small digital small DC, but it will not because of the high degree of specialization to give up the original people and the public scene mode features.Digital photography is a profound knowledge, not all have Time to learn to study, but we will be longing for masterpieces of photography, so we can use the 'scene mode' to quickly get the desired effect of photography.
