"We reduced ghost images by fine tuning of the optical system." (Katsunobu Yoshida) |
With the GX200, high picture quality was pursued from diverse angles. One was to employ a CCD of 12.1 million pixels. The CCD is an array of pixels that convert the light captured by the lens into an electric charge. With the GX200, the increase in pixels to 12.1 million captures the light in greater detail before handing over the electric signals to the image processing engine.
Katsunobu Yoshida, who was in charge of designing the lens system, says, "The first and foremost role of the lens system is to deliver the best light to the CCD." The exceptional resolution of a lens system that enables a wide shooting range of 24 ~ 72 mm is the first step to bright sharp images across the picture plane. Yoshida added, "With the GX200, we fine-tuned the optical system to reduce ghosts that readily
