A recommended addition to our main camera

– which we have already presented in detail in this article. The PowerShot model is perfect for detailed scenes or as a second perspective next to the main camera. The mini camera is also the perfect choice for when you’re on the go and for spontaneous photos.
Game room focused recording technology
The
Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
It offers vloggers and live streaming players a good balance between small and compact housing, easy operation, and great picture and sound quality. At 105.5 x 60.9mm, the front is much smaller than most smartphones, and at 41.4mm in depth, the camera, weighing just around 300g, fits snugly in any jacket pocket.
This small housing has focused technology that makes it particularly interesting for video recordings. It starts with the image sensor, which offers an effective resolution of 20.1 megapixels for photo-exceptions and, due to its 1-inch size, is suitable for cinematic-themed movie recordings. Combined with the powerful DIGIC 8 image processor and lens, the compact camera delivers stunning video and photo quality even in poor lighting conditions.
The 7.5 cm (3.0 inch) touch screen can be folded, and the camera can be used to take selfies and vlog recordings. Many settings can be made on the touch screen, as I am used to using a smartphone. In addition, the PowerShot G7 X Mark III provides controls familiar to professional SLR cameras.
In addition to the modes from Auto to Manual, you can set exposure compensation directly using a rotary knob on top of the camera. The lens control ring, to which you can set the desired functions, is also practical. Autofocus has a very practical special feature: you can adjust the focus yourself after autofocus.

Compared to the 35mm format, it covers a focal length of 24 to 100mm. This allows you to use the camera to take wide-angle photos, even close up distant subjects. The zoom range can be doubled to 4.2x using digital zoom. Despite its extremely compact and lightweight body, the lens delivers an unusually high light intensity for compact cameras, starting at 1:1.8 at the wide angle and at 1:2.8 at the telephoto range.
Combined with a powerful image sensor and image processor, this enables low-noise recordings in poor lighting conditions – for both video and photo recordings. In addition, thanks to the large-area image sensor, you can take photos of subjects with sharp details and blurry backgrounds with a beautiful looking professional bokeh effect.
The built-in ND filter, which blocks light with three stops, is brilliant for videographers as well as photographers. If necessary, you can either turn it on automatically or activate it yourself. In daylight, it is possible to record video at slower shutter speeds, providing a more natural result. In addition, images appear with strong colors even in very bright lighting. Photographers get extra creative space by using a neutral density (ND) filter to use a longer exposure time for photos with motion blur.
The lens has a 5-axis optical image stabilization (lens shift system) so there is no distortion when shooting handheld photos. It’s called “Intelligent IS” by Canon and can compensate for up to four f-stops for video and photo recordings.
4K video in portrait or landscape format
Vertical video is spreading on social media because it is mostly viewed on smartphone. With the PowerShot G7 X Mark III, you can thus record videos in all resolutions in portrait mode. In addition to automatic settings, video recording can also be controlled manually.
The camera allows video recording of up to UHD resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. In Full HD format (1,920 x 1,080), the maximum frame rate is 120 frames per second. In video editing software, such a video can be played up to 4 times slower than slow motion smoothly. If you want a lower video resolution, the camera also offers an HD format with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels.
Good sound quality is just as important as a good picture. The
