Offering high quality
8.1-megapixel photos, the EX-Z850 includes a 3x optical zoom and offers both
manual aperture and shutter speed priority AE options for advanced users who
prefer to create customized images. The impressive 2.5-inch Super Bright LCD
generates approximately 1,200 cd/m2 of luminescent output, making the monitor
even easier to view when outdoors.
The EX-Z850 includes the latest
version of the Exilim Engine, featuring the Anti Shake DSP which
considerably reduces the incidence of blurred images due to shaky hands or
moving subjects, so you only have to worry about which shots to take, not how
they will come out. In response to user's high demand, the EX-Z850's Super Life
Battery supports 440 shots per charge (CIPA standards), providing convenient,
long-lasting usability.
Notable new features on the
EX-Z850 include flash functions for a variety of settings and situations,
including Rapid Flash, which enables three flash photos in only one second to
completely capture a given moment; Soft Flash, which prevents overexposure of
subjects photographed up close; and High Power Flash, which ensures that
subjects are properly illuminated even when photographed as far away as
approximately 40 feet. The EX-Z850 also includes Revive Shot, which refreshes
faded colors of old photos by bringing them back to life in digital format,
automatically adjusts for obliquity even when photos are shot while still in the
album.
The EX-Z850 represents the
latest technology and functions the Exilim digital camera line has to offer.
Easy to use automatically or customizable to user specifications, this camera
offers the stunningly high quality images and versatility that comes only from
Casio.

| Using a flash when it is dark can cause subjects close to the camera to be overexposed. With Soft Flash, flash intensity is suppressed, so exposure is not affected, and colors come out looking more natural. |

|
Existing Flash
Intensity is too strong, resulting in overexposure. |
|
Soft Flash
A softer flash produces natural color and contrast. |
