Casio have introduced the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z200 digital camera. The 10.1 megapixel model also features the 4x optical zoom lens on the EX-Z100 that can shoot as wide as 28 mm (equivalent). The EXILIM Zoom EX-Z200 also features the usual recognition technologies, automatic scene differentiation technolgy that allow s the shutter to be released automatically and an anti shake function that compensates for blur by moving the imaging element.

Wide-angle 28 mm lens with 4x optical zoom
The camera allows zoom photography between 28 mm and 112 mm (35 mm film camera equivalent). This increases photographic enjoyment, from wide angle photography suitable for capturing large subjects or shooting up close in small spaces, right through to telephoto work.

10.1 million effective pixels for high resolution photographs
The new thinner, smaller body of the model EX-Z100 was made possible without sacrificing high resolution image quality using a newly developed 1/2.3 inch CCD. High resolution images can be used to create beautiful prints even when enlarged or when the image is cropped.


CCD shift anti shake function in the EX-Z200
The EX-Z200 employs an anti shake function that compensates for blur by moving the imaging element. Of course, both models incorporate Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur by raising the camera’s sensitivity and therefore increasing shutter speeds.

2.7-inch wide and bright LCD offers high contrast
The camera incorporates Casio’s newly developed Super Clear LCD. This produces extremely sharp and vivid images, thanks to its high contrast ratio and its 230,160 dot high resolution. The display can be viewed easily from above, below, left or right thanks to its wide viewing angle and it is extremely bright, making it easy to see even in daylight.

Auto Shutter function automatically records the moment of a smile or the instant when hand shake ceases
Using motion blur detection technology, the camera can automatically take a photo at the instant when hand shake or subject movement ceases. Users can also automatically capture the moment of a smile, the instant when subject movement due to panning ceases, or the moment when their own face fills the frame as they point the camera towards themselves.

AUTO ®BEST SHOT analyzes scenes to determine an appropriate shooting mode
The camera can automatically analyze a scene to be captured and choose an appropriate shooting mode. The six scenes that can be distinguished are: people, scenery, night scenes, night scenes with people, close-ups, and moving subjects. The camera was also designed to be very user-friendly, and it is easy to quicly change to another shooting mode associated with the scene type that the camera recognizes.

H.264 video, which can be enjoyed in wide format
The camera utilize the H.264 video standard, which lets users record beautiful movies with the latest high compression technology. Users can enjoy wide format movies in a 16:9 aspect ratio. The camera also features a Movie Button for easy movie recording.
