One press of the shutter and a dynamic world of color and beauty comes to life.
Create a new reality with the GX-10 — a DSLR camera made just for you
A dream come true
Large 10.2 mega-pixel CCD for
superior resolution
The GX-10’s large 10.2 mega-pixel CCD gives it fantastic ability to create
and capture vividly detailed pictures.

10.2 mega-pixel CCD
Hold onto memories forever...
The GX-10’s OPS feature (Optical Picture Stabilisation) helps you capture those
magical ‘once in a lifetime’ moments in perfect clarity, making them last forever.
OPS with CCD Shift
A special function that makes
it possible to take shake-free
pictures, even in low light
Optical Picture Stabilisation (OPS)
A picture taken in dim light - or from an unsteady stance - often
gives a blurred result. The GX-10’s built-in OPS system helps you
get much clearer shake-free pictures, even at slow shutter
speeds or when using a telephoto lens.

OPS Mechanism
features fast
reaction time for
constant stability
OPS Mechanisim
Using CCD shift, GX-10’s OPS
mechanism virtually guarantees
blur free pictures, even in shady
low light situations.
Excellent protection from shakes
Even when using slow shutter speeds, there’s little to fear from
unwanted camera shake. The GX-10’s integral OPS mechanism
just about guarantees blue-free photography with any lens,
regardless of shutter speed.
Take flawless pictures
With advanced dust protection features, there’s no need to worry that
bothersome spots might mar your shots.
Dual Dust Removal
System
keeps the CCD clean
Anti-Dust Coating
Every time a DSLR camera lens is changed, the CCD is potentially
exposed to dust. If dust settles on the CCD, it can show up as
black spots on your pictures.
To prevent this, the GX-10’s CCD features a special anti-dust
coating that helps keep pictures free from unsightly blemishes.
Dust Removal Function
In addition to the CCD’s anti-dust coating, the GX-10 features an
advanced dust removal function in which the CCD is lightly
shaken at startup to shed any dust that may have withstood the
dust resistant coating.
* The Dust Removal function can be set to either manual or automatic from the menu.
Make memories last forever
The GX-10’s built-in resistance to dust and water means there’s no need to
stop shooting in light rain or when dust is blowing.
The GX-10 takes fantastic
pictures everywhere and at all
times, even when the rain falls
or the dust blows.
Sealed build for greater freedom
The GX-10’s robust body is specially designed to resist water and
dust.
Secure silicone seals have been applied to 72 strategic points,
including the shutter and other important buttons, to ensure that
nothing harmful enters the camera.
Ability to shoot in difficult environments
Due to the GX-10’s tough build, it performs brilliantly in both easy
and difficult environments. Come wind or rain you can shoot with
confidence and peace of mind.
* First half ’07 launch planned for water-resistant lens
Enjoy a broader & clearer view
With a 95% field of view, GX-10’s viewfinder gives you
the freedom to see more of what you’re shooting.
Featuring the
Glass Pentaprism
0.85X (GX-1L)
0.95X (GX-10)
Broad viewfinder and Glass Pentaprism for
convenience and clarity
In an SLR camera, images that enter the lens are seen through
the viewfinder. You get what you see.
The GX-10’s Glass Pentaprism and broad clear view finder offers
a fantastically bright and clear view of your subject.

Take pictures your way
With one-touch RAW, you can create pictures that
look just like you imagined them.
Perfect your pictures with
the RAW Image Format
One-touch RAW button
One-touch RAW button for simplicity and
convenience
The GX-10 camera is equipped with a one-touch RAW button It
lets you take, and save, pictures in RAW file format by simply
pressing the RAW button. After taking a picture, you can revert to
JPEG mode or stay in RAW mode.
Direct RAW file editing and JPEG conversion
The built-in RAW file
converter allows you to
convert RAW files to JPEG
format without any computer
interaction. Additionally, you
can directly adjust image
tones, the number of pixels,
picture quality, AWB, ISO, sharpness, contrast, and saturation
when converting files to JPEG format.
Dynamic RAW Shooting Mode
(up to 9 frames continuously)
The GX-10 RAW shooting mode lets you take 9 photos per
second! This exceptional function helps you capture vivid and
spontaneous scenes.
DNG (Digital Negative) is a
general-purpose RAW file format
designed by Adobe Systems.
A new dimension of resolution
Specially engineered to produce the perfect picture,
GX-10 shows you an amazing new world of light and color.
Convertible to 22 Bit A/D with a broad range of
gradation
While most DSLR cameras utilise 16bit
Analogue/Digital Conversion, the GX-10 uses a 22 bit
A/D converter. That means the GX-10 processes
much, much more image information than any other
DSLR camera. That extra information gives you more
delicate colours, more detailed textures, increased
sharpness and a wider range of gradation.
Fast imaging process, excellent color
representation
GX-10 utilizes a cutting-edge semiconductor processor
and Samsung high-speed DDR2 memory to realize fast,
high-quality imaging. The DSP enables more natural
definition, a wide range of gradation, continuous
shooting, and a prompt response to dynamic subjects.
Powerful AE exposure mode that readily adjusts
ISO sensitivity
GX-10 adopts a brand-new user-friendly exposure
mode to control shutter speed, aperture, and even ISO
sensitivity.
Sv: Sensitivity priority
Automatically adjusts aperture and shutter speed settings
according to ISO levels
TAv: Shutter-speed & aperture priority
Automatically controls ISO sensitivity to get an appropriate
exposure value according to the user’s shutter speed and aperture
settings.
Precise white-balance adjustment enables more
natural expression
While most existing white-balancing functions use
only standard values according to the situation, the
GX-10 provides delicate, 100K step colour temperature
adjustments which give a more accurate white-balance
control.
Capturing a moment in time
Through cutting-edge digital technology, the GX-10 offers numerous ways to
capture dynamic moments that pass in the blink of an eye.
Multiple options for continuous shooting
Effectively photographing a continuously moving subject isn’t easy. But the GX-10
simplifies the challenge by providing a high-speed motor drive AutoFocus shooting
function of three shots per second. Now you can capture moving subjects perfectly. In
the JPEG shooting mode, continuous shooting is limitless within the camera’s memory
capacity, and the RAW mode lets you take 9 sparkling pictures in less than one second!
Precise Auto Focus with 11 focus points
The GX-10 measures 11 focus points to include subjects at different distances.
Specifically, 9 central focus points adjust the focus accurately from any direction vertically and horizontally. Two additional left and right focus points give the GX-10
great focussing flexibility. Also provided is the focus point converting function (by
which a user can choose the location of the Auto Focus subject) and the super-impose
function for adding a red highlight at the focus point.
Adjustable focus point
conversion: Auto, Select, and Center
DSLR focus point conversion is a frequently used
function allowing for fast access to selectable focus
points. You can choose either Auto, Centre Point or
select your own (User Option) focus points. This can be
done easily to using the dial around the 4 way menu
button.
Convenient & User-friendly
While the GX-10 incorporates the latest high technology advances, Samsung has
designed this remarkable camera to be especially convenient and easy to use.
‘My Settings’ function makes
operations easier and more
convenient.
Green button
The ‘My Settings’ mode on the GX-10 lets you
pre-select the modes you prefer to use most often.
Modes such as Shutter Priority, Aperture Priority,
Auto, Program, Manual and others.
Additionally in the P (program) mode, you can choose
either Front E-Dia 1 or Rear E-Dia 1, and you can use
the functions faster and more easily with the Green Button to automatically adjust
exposure during manual photography.
TV: Shutter Speed priority
Green Button: return to Auto mode
AV: Aperture Priority
Multi-Exposure Shooting (2~9 frames)
The GX-10 provides a multi-exposure shooting function that shows
2 - 9 photos on one screen while shooting.
This facility allows difficult tasks such as editing and digital
collages to be handled much more easily.
2.5 inch LCD
Although the viewfinder is the traditionally
preferred means of composing and viewing
subjects with DSLR cameras, the GX-10
features a clear, 2.5 inch LCD of 210k pixels
and a 140 degree wide viewing angle to
satisfy the digital generation. The bright,
wide LCD makes it easy and convenient for
viewing taken photos and using the menu.
A stylish new DSLR
The GX-10 represents a combination of style and technology –
it’s the sleek DSLR camera you’ve dreamed of.
