COMPACT PORTABILITY, LIFE-SIZE CAPABILITY

Featuring exceptional image quality and an upgraded auto focus system and the Q10 will capture detailed, blur and dust free images all while comfortably fitting in your pocket. With the Q, you no longer need to sacrifice capability for portability.

12.4 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
Enjoy exceptional image quality with the improved 12.4 megapixels 1/2.3 inch backlit CMOS image sensor. Capable of producing 12 bit DNG RAW and JPG images, the backlit CMOS sensor is a highly efficient light-gathering instrument designed specifically to produce very low noise at high levels of sensitivity.

Sensor-Shift Shake Reduction
Capture stabilized, blur and dust free images even in low lighting courtesy of the Q10’s sensor-shift Shake Reduction system with integrated DRII Dust Reduction. Body-based Shake Reduction operates independently of the Q10’s lenses, allowing the same level of stabilization regardless of lens selection.

Customized Quick Dial
Conveniently choose from a variety of creative modes, Smart Effect options, or camera settings to assign to the Q10’s Quick Dial located on the front of the camera. Easily customize the setting or effect using the Quick Dial’s 4 positions, allowing you to concentrate on photography without having to explore the camera’s menu system.

Built-In Popup Flash
The Q10’s built-in popup flash adds the perfect amount of extra light to an image, while its high extension naturally reduces the red-eye effect common to compact cameras. The Q10’s flash is effective to 23 feet at 200 ISO, and covers a wide angle 28 degree field of view.

World’s Smallest and Lightest Interchangeable Lens System
The Q10 with its stylish design, bold color options and compact size adds to the world’s smallest and lightest interchangeable lens system.

Fast Autofocus
An upgraded auto focus algorithm and image sensor contribute to faster and more accurate auto focus performance than previous models.

HDR Capture
In-camera HDR capture mode shoots 3 images of varying exposures, blending them to bring out the details in even the darkest shadows and brightest highlights of extreme contrast shots.

3 Inch LCD Monitor and fast capture
Easily capture or review images and video using the Q10’s large 3 inch LCD monitor. The high quality LCD features HVGA resolution with 460,000 dots, as well as viewing angles up to 170 degrees horizontally and vertically.

Bokeh Control
Enjoy effortless bokeh control with the Q10’s bokeh control filter. Traditionally controlled through a DSLR lens’s aperture, bokeh is the out of focus portion of the background that helps to emphasize the subject, drawing the viewer’s eyes to the most important part of the photo. The Q10 assists the experienced and casual photographer alike by offering a fine degree of extra control over image bokeh via an in-camera filter operation.

User Modes for Creativity
Powerful USER modes allow the creative photographer to save a series of favorite camera settings, filters, and custom image modes for instant reuse.
