A12 50mm f2.5 Macro Camera Unit features
Maximum 1/2x magnification for full-fledged close-up photography
Close-up photography at a maximum magnification of 1/2x is possible. Making good use of this magnification ratio, the photographer can enjoy greater freedom in creative close-up shots, moving back a bit to light the subject so it is not in the camera's shadow. The minimum shooting distance is approximately 7cm from the front of the lens.
Beautifully shoot and relive the excitement. High definition (HD) movie function
GR LENS A12 50 mm can shoot HD movies. Image size is 1280×720, aspect ratio 16:9, and frame rate 24 frames/second. Utilizing the high sensitivity (maximum ISO 3200) and the bokeh enabled by the F2.5 aperture and the large image sensor, it is possible to create impressive movies with a different feel than those of standard video cameras. The GXR body has an HDMI connector, and for large-screen viewing of the movies shot, the GXR can be connected to TVs supporting HDMI.
Manual focus ring provided. Superior operability
Particularly when doing close-up photography, the higher the magnification ratio, the narrower the subject depth of field so it can be easier to focus manually (MF) than automatically (AF). GR LENS A12 50 mm has a manual focus ring. When MF is selected as the focus setting, quick and intuitive focusing is possible using the focus ring. In addition, if the focus ring setting selected is AF+MF, after the AF focusing is done it is possible to turn the focus ring to make fine adjustments to the focus.
