The stylish G9 X Mark II is heavily reliant on its touchscreen, with few external controls

Flash

A small built-in flash unit pops up from the top plate, released by a sliding switch just behind it. Canon specifies a maximum range of 6m at wideangle, dropping to just 2.4m at telephoto

Mobile button

Placed on the side of the camera, this is dedicated to establishing a Wi-Fi connection to your smartphone for quickly sharing images

Touch controls

Many of the camera’s settings are controlled via onscreen touch buttons arranged around the edges of the screen

Lens dial

The main physical control on the camera, this has click stops that provide excellent tactile feedback when changing settings

Connectors

A flap on the side conceals micro USB and micro HDMI ports for connection to a computer or TV

Battery

The small NB-13L Li-ion pack is rated for 235 shots per charge, extending to 355 in Canon’s Eco mode, which turns off the screen after a short period of inactivity to conserve power. Usefully, the battery can be topped up using either the supplied mains charger, or in-camera via USB
