Crystal clear view from the pentaprism viewfinder
In SLR digital camera, images that go through the lens are reflected to the viewfinder. The vividness and visibility ratio of what you see are determined by how to use the reflective device.

Precise white-balance adjustment enables more natural expression
While most existing white-balancing functions use only standard values according to the situation, the GX-20 provides delicate, 100K step colour temperature adjustments which give a more accurate white-balance control.
