Product Features in Detail
1.0-type, 20.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor
The Canon Powershot G9 X can save either JPEG or RAW images at a maximum of 20.2 megapixels. The CMOS sensor also allows more light to be used in capturing an image. This translates to more accurate details from the subject to the photo.
DIGIC 6 Processor
The G9 X's DIGIC 6 Processor improves the camera's light sensitivity. This results in higher resolution images with less noise when shooting in dark conditions. It also enhances the camera's performance particularly in high-speed shooting.
3.0x Optical Zoom Lens
Its 4.2x magnification has a focal length equivalent of 10.2 - 30.6 mm (28-84 mm equivalent on 35 mm). The lens also has a maximum and minimum f/number of f/2.0-4.9.
Captures Full HD 60p Movies
With the G9 X, you have the capability to record memories for a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080 at a maximum frame rate of 59.94 fps. You can also play the videos on wider screen resolutions without compromising quality. This video function is also perfect for those who are into video blogging.
Story Highlights Option
This feature lets you instantly merge your photos and videos to create interesting videos. You can also use the camera's Short Clip Movie mode to capture fun videos in an instant.
Creative Shot Option
With this mode, the G9 X creates an additional five images from the original shot with each photo varying in subject focus and filter used.
Creative Assist
Through simple language, this function lets you experiment with the camera's settings via the touch screen. A preview for the results is also available in real time.
Optical Image Stabilizer
The G9 X has a three-stop Intelligent Image Stabilizer with 5-axis Advanced Dynamic IS to reduce shaking and blur when taking stills and videos. The result: clear shots even without a tripod or during low light situations.
Touchscreen LCD
You can use this to instantly select AF points, set image settings, or review images by swiping.
Near Field Communication Connectivity
With NFC connection, you can instantly save your images from the camera to a smartphone or table device.
Built-In Wi-Fi
Instantly share your images on the Internet, particularly in social media platforms, by accessing the G9 X's Wi-Fi connection. Also, the images can be easily stored to cloud services like Google Drive and Flickr with its Image Sync option.
14-Bit RAW File Support
With this type of file support, you can enhance photo editing options via Canon's Digital Photo Professional software.
Multiple Charging Options
The Canon Powershot G9 X can be charged with typical USB smartphone chargers, through a PC via USB cable, or through the provided external battery charger.
Remote Control is Possible
Through the downloadable Canon Camera Connect app, you can take photos with the G9 X and adjust image settings remotely via your smartphone.
