G.BROS. GV-10 Features

• Outstanding water resistance and dust resistance
  The GV-10 is designed and engineered to comply with IEC 60529 IP66/IP67 water resistance and dust resistance (summarized below), which means you can take it along to the slopes, the seashore, or the pool, and even use it in the rain.
  Water Resistance
  • Water shall not enter the enclosure when it is immersed in a container of standard temperature still tap water to a depth of 1 meter for approximately 30 minutes (immersion resistant).
  • Direct jetting water from any direction shall not enter the enclosure.
  Dust Resistance
  • Particles with a diameter of 75µ or less shall not enter the enclosure.
• Shock resistance
  The case is made of long-strand fiberglass, which is enclosed with a high-elasticity elastomer for a very high level of shock resistance. Internal circuitry floats on a "floating mount" that uses shock absorbing gel sheets to protect circuits and components from external shock.
• 1.23 million effective pixels (1.31 million total pixels)
• Built-in Pixel Generator
  A built-in automatic process makes it possible to produce 1600 x 1200-pixel images, which is the size that can be recorded on a 2-megapixel digital camera. The result is better detail and smoother lines when images are enlarged to A4 size during printing to a photo printer.
• 2X digital zoom
• BEST SHOT
  The GV-10's BEST SHOT mode comes with 18 sample scenes, including SNOW PARK and SEASIDE. Simply select the Best Shot scene that is like the one you want to record and light metering, exposure, saturation, and other settings are configured in an instant. Best Shot Scenes: 1. PORTRAIT 2. FLOWER 3. LANDSCAPE 4. NIGHT SCENE 5. PET 6. SILVER 7. ENGINE 8. SEASIDE 9. SPLASH 10. SNOW PARK 11. TURN 12. SUNSET 13. SILHOUETTE 14. OVER-EXPOSED 15. NOISE 16. POP 17. MONOCHROME 18. SEPIA
• High-speed continuous shutter
  Images are stored in a buffer as they are recorded, which makes it possible to record continuous images at high speed, just the thing for capturing the action of fast-moving sports and other events as they occur. You can record up to seven 1280 x 960 (FINE) images or fifty one 640 x 480 (NORMAL) images at a time.
• PC Camera Mode (Windows only)
  Connecting to the USB port of computer and using commercially available video conferencing software makes it possible to use the GV-10 as a PC camera. It's the easy way to enjoy the convenience of broadband net meetings.
• A choice of two body colors
• Built in 1.6-inch TFT LCD monitor
• DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) and DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) Compliant
• Bundled with PC link software and USB cable
  The GV-10 is equipped with a special USB port, and the bundled Photo Loader software and USB cable make it possible to transfer images from the camera to your computer automatically, whenever the Photo Loader is started up. Transferred images can be viewed using a Web browser. Other handy image handling features include an auto mail attachment tool and print functions.
  
  Auto mail attachment tool
  • Selecting an image automatically starts up your mail software and attaches the image to a new outgoing message. Attached images are automatically resized to a size specified by you
  Print functions
  • Selecting an image automatically starts up Photo Hands printing software. Also included are retouching tools for adjusting color, contrast, brightness, and more.
• PRINT Image Matching compatible
  Printing on a printer that supports EPSON PRINT Image Matching produces output whose colors are adjusted to match the characteristics of the camera. Recording with a Best Shot Mode portrait scene produces images with perfect skin tones.
