Casio Introduces Two Stylish New EXILIM(R) Digital Cameras with "YouTube Capture Mode" Plus Next-Generation H.264 High-compression, High-quality Movie Technology

Norderstedt (ots)

Casio Europe GmbH and its parent company,
Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of two new 
digital cameras with the cutting-edge EXILIM Engine 2.0 image 
processing module. The 8.1 megapixel EXILIM Card EX-S880 and the 7.2 
megapixel EXILIM Zoom EX-Z77 add enhanced movie functionality to 
Casio's stylish series of EXILIM digital cameras.
The EX-S880 is the latest addition to the popular EXILIM Card 
series, known for its sophisticated design in a thin card size. The 
EX-Z77 joins Casio's successful EXILIM Zoom series, whose excellent 
balance of superior functionality and stylish, compact look 
characterize the EXILIM brand.
Both new models come with a high-quality movie function that makes
the most of next-generation H.264 compression technology. They also 
feature Casio's new "YouTube Capture Mode", which enables users to 
shoot and save movies at the optimum size, quality and other settings
for YouTubeTM, the world's most popular online site for sharing 
videos. Casio has also included an exclusive software application 
that makes it fast and simple to upload movies to YouTubeTM.
The new cameras also feature a blur reduction function that uses 
motion analysis technology, an auto-tracking AF system, and face 
detection technology. The combination of face detection technology 
and the auto-tracking AF system ensures that, once the focus locks on
to a person's face, it will stay sharp and maintain the right 
exposure, even if the person moves. Casio has made it much easier to 
capture beautiful portraits.
