Sample Photos

In the following sample images, clicking on the larger image will download the full resolution original. Each photo is accompanied by three actual-size crops.

Landscape Sample
			Focal length: 8.1mm ISO: 160 Aperture: f/4.0 Shutter speed: 1/400 of a second This shot was taken in the program mode of the G11, using the Vivid color mode. As you can see, this captured and  boosted the autumn colors of the yellow maple tree. As you can also see from the crops below, the details of the leaves are sharp at the center, but a little soft at the edges. The highlights of the gravestone are also a little blasted out, with little detail being captured on the highlights.

Macro Sample
			Focal length: 6.1mm ISO: 1600 Aperture: f/2.8 Shutter speed: 1/4 of a second Our long-legged model isn't a big fan of having her photo taken, so she likes to hide in dark spots when we whip a camera out. This meant that for this macro shot, we had to use a shutter speed of 1/4 of a second and a very open aperture, even with the ISO boosted to 1600. The G11 did a very decent job of capturing the image, though; there is a fair amount of noise, but the details are still very visible.

Low Light example
			Focal length: 6.1mm ISO: 6400 Aperture: f/2.8 Shutter speed: 1/15 of a second This shot of a speeding train was taken in the G11's Low Light mode, which reduces the resolution and ups the ISO speed range. The advantage of this is that it can use a shorter shutter speed: 1/15 of a second allows the camera to almost freeze the speeding train. The downside is that there is quite a lot of noise in the image.
