Shoot up to 6 cm with Macro mode

Macro mode lets you focus with AF between 6 and 12 centimeters from the end of the lens. This delivers nearly the same 0.35x shooting magnification as when the GM-1 macro conversion lens is attached to the GR II without the need for an extra lens. Simply press the macro button to capture impressive close-up photos with rich bokeh effects.
* Macro mode and normal mode must be switched manually.
* The camera switches to Macro mode when the focus is set to [Snap] or [∞].

Expand expressive possibilities with 35mm/50mm Crop mode

With this feature, you can shoot at an angle of view equivalent to a focal length of 35 mm or 50 mm. The high resolution 24M image sensor makes it possible to record clear images up to 15M (35 mm) and 7M (50 mm). This mode gives you the opportunity to change the angle-of-view depending on the subject when shooting.

Capture dreamlike shots with multi-exposure

There is no longer a frame limit for compositing. Composited results can be viewed in a transparent display so you can check the composition while overlaying another frame. You can change the exposure parameter*, shoot, reshoot, and finish shooting for each shot to easily create exactly the type of photo you have in mind.
* Exposure compensation, ISO speed, aperture, and shutter speed can be adjusted based on the exposure mode set for the first frame. The white balance cannot be changed.

Highlight-weighted option added to full-featured metering modes

In addition to [Multi-segment], [Center-weighted], and [Spot], [Highlight-weighted] is now available as a metering method. [Highlight-weighted] helps keep the exposure even, suppressing highlight blowouts in subjects illuminated by spotlights and high-contrast subjects.
