Whether you want to trim the number of options available in the Func Set quick access menu, or assign the S and Movie function buttons with specific tasks then you can.

There are stacks of additional custom controls. And we found that perpetually annoying, simply because we would often leave exposure compensation in play without meaning to and end up with -1EV rather than stopping down the aperture.

In some modes there will be three settings to toggle through, such as aperture, exposure compensation and ISO for example. After making a compensation adjustment the d-pad selected setting will remain in play by default - you'll not escape the setting via the menu or any other button, but specifically by pressing the d-pad up key again to toggle back to the original setting. Click the d-pad's up direction to access exposure compensation, as marked on the camera's body with an icon, and this is adjusted via the rear lens ring. The rear rotational d-pad adds another twist to these customisation options as it's multi-functional. That means without looking you can feel your way to the correct one, and as both are customisable per shooting mode you might have set the front ring to a different setting for aperture priority mode than in shutter priority, for example. They each have a heavily textured grip finish to ensure ease of operation, with the front ring including a smooth section to differentiate it from the rear ring. Custom controlsД«oth lens rings are brilliant in use, with just the right weight and resistance. These metal lens rings always protrude from the front of the camera and the lens extends out from them when the camera is switched on.

The G1 X II's lens comes complete with two lens control rings: farthest forward is a smooth-rotating smaller ring, ideal for manual focus, behind which sits a larger click-stop ring, ideal for aperture control and the like. It's not a great deal bigger than the likes of the Canon PowerShot G16, however, so it can almost be thought of us a high-end version of that camera in many respects. The difference is that it's a 4:3 aspect ratio and therefore not as wide.ДЄ large sensor means a larger camera and lens, hence the G1 X II's not inconsiderable 116 x 74 x 66mm scale. Although you won't see it by eye as the lens is fixed to the body, it's roughly the same size as the sensors used in Canon's APS-C DSLR ranges. Key to the G1 X Mark II's design is its large 1.5-inch sensor. Priced at ВЈ799, that expands to a lofty ВЈ999 with the viewfinder bundled in.Дo big bucks make for a big bang camera, or is the G1 X Mark II a reflection of the original able to capture fantastic quality images but somewhat limited by its overall performance and price point? Bulky build But you'll need deep pockets if you want to fork out for the electronic viewfinder accessory as the G1 X II is expensive.

No longer is there a built-in viewfinder as found in the original model - instead there's a hotshoe for adding accessories. It's built around a whole new design for starters, complete with a new lens and faster autofocus than before. Far from being a straightforward rehash of the earlier large sensor model, the Mark II is a total rework. (Pocket-lint) - The Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II is the company's highest spec compact camera yet, superseding the original G1 X from 2012.
