The G11 can be as automatic or manual as you choose, and the important functions such as exposure compensation, ISO and aperture/shutter speed are controlled by external dials rather than having to go through the menu option. This makes these adjustments much easier to control and makes it feel suitable for more professional use.
The WP-DC34 housing provides 40m capability and full control over the camera functions, with one exception: the rear rotary dial, which controls aperture or shutter speed when using manual exposure. It is possible to control these functions by ‘unassigning’ the ‘assign’ button to the top left of the LCD screen, so that when it is pressed, the aperture/shutter speed can be adjusted up and down with the ‘left’ and ‘right’ push buttons.
The rectangular front port limits the use of additional wide-angle lenses, which is a shame for such a capable camera. These deficiencies are compensated for when using the Ikelite 6146.11 housing, but at the expense of weight, size and cost. An optional WD-4 wide-angle port restores the angle of coverage to 28mm.
