High quality full HD for more beautiful images and smoother motion
Although it boasts a very compact form factor, the Xacti GH1 can record
Full HD videos at 1920 x 1080 resolution, along with genuine
high-resolution photos. SANYO developed a new proprietary high-speed
image-processing engine to deliver high image quality in a compact
package. The engine is designed to reduce power consumption and provide
optimal operation in conjunction with the CMOS image sensor. What’s
more, the GH1 employs a newly developed 12x double-range zoom function
for video shooting. This further expands the shooting area for all
situations from wide to telephoto.
Double sub REC buttonsTo further improve ergonomics and usability, the Xacti GH1 comes
equipped with proprietary double sub REC buttons. In addition to the
ordinary recording buttons, a second set of recording buttons for photo
and video is provided on the upper front part of the chassis. These
extra buttons make it much easier to use the camera at a low angle,
while maintaining a comfortable shooting posture. Being able to shoot
easily at the eye level of your child or pet makes it possible to
capture the world from a fresh point of view.
Face chaserThe Xacti GH1 is able to detect up to 12 faces
instantly. Even if they move, the GH1 can follow them and adjust the
focus and exposure. The Face Chaser function has been developed so that
it can even follow faces from a side-on angle.
Note: Face detection functionality depends on the
subject and shooting conditions.
Digital image stabilizer For beautiful high-definition video recording, the Xacti GH1 reduces
the effect of camera shake that typically occurs when you zoom in on a
subject. SANYO’s original digital image stabilizer is capable of
automatically distinguishing between unintended camera shaking and
deliberate pans and tilts.
Quick startThe Xacti GH1 is ready to shoot at any time. Because it records onto a
solid-state SD memory card - rather than HDD or DVD media with moving
parts - you can start shooting straightaway after opening the monitor.
Support for SDXC memory cardsThe Xacti GH1 supports the 64 GB SDXC memory card standard, which
specifies high-capacity, high-speed transfers of photo and video data.
Note: When the recording file size exceeds 4 GB,
the file will be saved, and subsequent data will be saved in a new
file. (A new file is automatically created every 4 GB. Although
recording will continue until stopped by the user, recording of video
clips and sound pauses when files are being saved.)
Simple modeSettings on the Xacti GH1 are easy to understand, so even beginners can
enjoy shooting.
In Simple mode, only the most basic elements are displayed on
the LCD monitor.
Simple Mode - This mode displays only the most essential and frequently used
functions.
Normal Mode - This mode allows you to access the full range of camera
functions.
New 12x double range zoomThe Xacti GH1 features a 12x double-range zoom for shooting
videos. By allowing you to switch at the press of a button between
different zooming areas - as if you were switching between two lenses with
different zoom ratios - this function enables you to shoot through a
broader area.
*When shooting photos, the maximum zoom range
is 5x.
High speed processor and CMOS sensorAlthough it boasts a very compact form factor, the Xacti GH1 can record
Full HD videos at 1920 x 1080 resolution, along with genuine
high-resolution photos. SANYO developed a new proprietary high-speed
image-processing engine to deliver high image quality in a compact
package. The engine is designed to reduce power consumption and provide
optimal operation in conjunction with the CMOS image sensor. Meanwhile,
3D digital noise reduction technology reduces random noise by adding
motion judgment to the noise-reduction process. The GH1 also delivers
improvements in compression efficiency and bit-rate allocation,
resulting in a highly accurate video image. As it employs the advanced
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression format, the GH1 lets you easily save
and play back video images on a PC.
285° rorating, 2.7 inch wide screen LCDBrightness on the Xacti GH1’s wide-screen LCD
monitor can be adjusted to any of seven levels. Also, the monitor can
rotate through approximately 285º, so you can easily position it at your
preferred angle. This lets you keep your subject clearly in view,
whether you’re shooting high, low, or at yourself and your kids.
Easy EditingThe Xacti GH1 offers the convenience of editing Full
HD videos on the camera itself. You can easily splice multiple clips
into a single video, or cut unwanted footage. This feature is
particularly useful when it comes to viewing slideshows and using your
SD memory card capacity more effectively.
Note: If there is insufficient free space on
the SD memory card, you may be unable to perform editing functions.
A variety of video shooting modes
Realistic high resolution 14 megapixel photos
Despite being a Full High-Definition video camera, the Xacti GH1 can
capture realistic 14-megapixel photos just like those taken with a
dedicated digital camera. It can even record higher-resolution images at
up to 16 megapixels, using real-time interpolation technology
*1.
Target a colourThe Xacti GH1 tracks and focuses on moving subjects, such as children or
pets, by detecting their colors. Even if you close the LCD panel
temporarily, tracking will resume when you start shooting again.
Note that this function may not operate
properly if the subject is too small for the frame, if the lighting
conditions change, or if the subject is a similar color to the
background.
Scene selected shotSimply select the mode best suited to your subject for easy and
beautiful shooting.
Lets you shoot in the kind of dim lighting conditions that
normally produce overly dark images.
Note: A tripod is recommended for shooting at
night or in the dark.
Nine point auto focus The Xacti GH1 focuses automatically on your
subject, even if it isn’t located in the center of the frame, to prevent
your shots from going out of focus.
High sensitivity photos at ISO 1600At the highest sensitivity of ISO 1600, the Xacti
GH1 can capture the natural colors of faces and indoor scenes at night,
as well as evening scenes where you don’t want to use a flash.
Digital FilterSelect the Cosmetic mode to capture beautiful skin tones, or the Sepia
or Monochrome modes to create different image effects.
The texture of people’s skin comes out naturally and
beautifully.
Pictures take on the chic atmosphere of a black-and-white photo.
This mode effectively creates a nostalgic look.
16:9 wide aspect photosThe 16:9 wide mode lets you capture images with a
wider aspect ratio, such as sweeping landscapes.
Note: Records at a resolution of 12M (4608 x
2592 pixels), 10M (4352 x 2448), 2M (1920 x 1080), or 0.9M (1280 x 720)
when in wide mode.
Super macro shootingThe ability to shoot from as close as 1 cm makes the
Xacti GH1 a convenient way to photograph accessories and items for
online auctions. Now you can take clear, highly detailed close-up shots.
Compact and stylish form factor
It used to be that camcorders were reserved only for special
occasions. The concept behind the Xacti series, though, was to make it
possible to record video clips of spontaneous everyday happenings. Based
on this concept, SANYO has developed a range of devices compact enough
to carry anywhere and use anytime. With the Xacti GH1, the ergonomic,
rounded form is designed to feel comfortable in your hand - it’s the ideal
combination of small size and easy usability.
