Indicator for Brightness Histogram and RGB Histogram

Histogram shows you the distribution of brightness in recorded images. If the bars in the histogram are higher towards the right, the image may be too bright. If the bars are higher on the left, the image may be too dark. If the lighting conditions are too bright to check the subject by using the LCD, checking the histogram will enable more precise exposure control for the shots.

As part of Samsung's foray into the DSLR market, the GX-20 offers a range of features and technologies designed to enhance the photography experience.

This sensor allows for a wide ISO range, from 100 to 6400, giving photographers the flexibility to capture images in various lighting conditions without sacrificing image quality.

One of the standout features of the GX-20 is its dual image stabilization system, which employs both sensor-shift technology and optical lens stabilization.

Additionally, the GX-20 supports a range of advanced shooting modes, including face detection, scene modes, and exposure bracketing, allowing users to easily adapt to different photography styles. The camera also incorporates an in-camera RAW processing feature, enabling photographers to edit their images without the need for external software.

Connectivity options on the GX-20 include USB 2.0 for data transfer and support for SD/SDHC memory cards for storage. With an average battery life of approximately 600 shots, users can confidently shoot without the constant worry of running out of power.
