This model is equipped with an innovative GR lens that surpasses all other GR lenses with its amazing optical performance. A six-element four-group optical system is used to achieve images that are sharp from the center to the edge with clear depiction. The optical system is slim and compact so the body can accommodate an in-camera Shake Reduction mechanism. The effects of camera shake on image quality are minimized and the full capabilities of the newly designed GR lens optical performance are maximized for a variety of scenes. Original noise reduction processing results in high image quality even at high ISO sensitivity. 14-bit RAW recording is also supported for rich tonal reproduction. An innovative developed imaging processor delivers further improvements in high image quality performance elaborately detailed imaging across the entire sensitivity range and superb color reproduction. Image plane phase-matching AF delivers high speed AF and contrast detection AF offers superb focusing precision. The best of these two types are combined to make a hybrid AF. The common issue of searching for focus peaks in contrast detection AF has been significantly reduced on this model. The hybrid system delivers faster autofocus and greater precision. This model uses the sensor-shift type Shake Reduction mechanism. It delivers compensation on three axes. The camera is equipped with an LCD monitor that supports touch operations and a convenient control dial. These features provide quick control over AF frame movement and menu access.
