The Compact Hi-zoom model boasts 14MP and will be available from 18th August 2011, priced £149.99 and comes complete with a new Silent Mode feature. Silent Mode automatically configures the camera settings to avoid disturbing others around you – particularly handy when shooting in a museum, aquarium, restaurant and other areas where flash photograph is prohibited.
Available in black, and sporting a 12.5X optical zoom lens (24-300mm equivalent), the EX-ZS100’s Hi-zoom model equipped lens allows users to shoot wide angle as well as being able to shoot up close and personal – up to 1cm away from the object using its macro focus function.
Casio’s new EX-ZS100 has an ‘Advanced Easy Mode’. This mode means that whereas with other, harder to use cameras, the user would have to half press the shutter button to focus the image and then take the shot slowing the overall process down. With the EX-ZS100, when the camera is pointing at the object, it focuses automatically so all the photographer has to do is press the shutter button fully and not waste time focusing and shooting in a separate action. The camera’s direct ‘On’ button and USB charging also makes the overall operation of the camera even easier than before.
