Casio’s EXILIM series of
digital cameras embody advanced miniaturization and digital technologies,
culminating in slim, compact bodies coupled with the latest in digital technologies,
making them faster, smaller and more powerful. Casio’s EXILIM Engine
and super long battery life technology, along with the latest in technology,
put the EXILIM at the forefront of the digital camera market.
“We’re very proud
to announce these two new additions to Casio’s EXILIM line. EXILIM ZOOM
represents the perfect balance of form and function with its stylish body
and advanced features,” said John Clough, president of Casio, Inc. “Our
customers look forward to our EXILIM products because we take their needs
seriously and deliver superior, state-of-the-art cameras that are also fun
and easy to use.”
The
EX-Z750 EXILIM ZOOM for truly enjoyable digital photography
The EX-Z750’s 7.2 megapixel CCD imaging element delivers superior
picture quality with remarkably high definition, while the optical 3X zoom
lens and large 2.5-inch liquid crystal display assure enjoyable operation.
In addition to manual operation, an extremely versatile array of shooting
functions enables a variety of photo effects. Using MPEG-4 format, high
quality movies can also be taken in VGA size (640 x 480 pixels) at 30 frames
per second. Of course, longer battery life enables the shooting of approximately
325 shots (CIPA standards)* on a battery charge. When set in its cradle,
A/V signal output allows the user to view the photos or movies taken on
an external video monitor such as television.
*CIPA “Standard Procedure for Measuring
Digital Still Camera Battery Consumption”:
Until recently there has been no standard measurement
for battery life. This has resulted in inconsistencies between camera
products and their catalogs and instruction manuals. As of December 2003,
CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) established the Standard
Procedure for Measuring Digital Still Camera Battery Consumption, and
hopes to reduce confusion among consumers by having this adopted by the
world’s digital camera manufacturers and retailers.
The EX-Z750 is ideal for consumers who are looking
to create superior images in challenging lighting conditions. Consumers
can select aperture priority, shutter priority, or simply select from
several unique “Best Shot” modes to enhance the images. The
0.9-second continuous shooting mode and low light assist, help capture
sharp images such as fast action or low light scenes. The pre-record or
“Past Movie” mode continuously captures 5 seconds of video
automatically into buffer memory to ensure that the user records the critical
video prior to pushing the shutter. Consumers can also select from several
different “Movie Best Shot” modes and do simple video editing
within the camera.
