NETHERLANDS. Travel retail specialist supplier Dufri International is introducing three new Casio Exilim cameras to its portfolio of hi-tech products: EX-Z250, EX-Z300 and Zoom EX-Z85.
Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z85
This model with 9.1 million pixels takes high definition photographs. It features a stylish design contained within a compact size: body measurements are 89.7mm wide by 51.7mm high by 19.0mm thick.
The design of the focus frame and the colour of the menu screen can be customised in accordance with each user’s wishes.
In addition to the standard body colours, the camera comes in a total of eight colours: silver, black, vivid pink, pink, blue, green, brown and orange.

Using blur detection technology, the EX-Z85 can automatically take a photo the instant that hand shake or subject movement stops, even without the need to push the shutter button. This reduces photo blur caused by the movement involved in pressing the shutter. The camera will also automatically release the shutter at the moment of a smile or the moment subject blur ceases in a panning shot. A shot can also be taken the moment the user’s face fills the frame when taking a self-portrait.
The Face Recognition function allows users to detect the presence of up to ten people’s faces. Then, before shooting, the camera automatically recognises the pre-registered face or faces that should be most clearly photographed, and gives those faces priority for correct focus and exposure.
The EX-Z85 uses the H.264 video format, which records high quality movies in highly compressed video files. When the Movie button is pressed, the camera records wide-screen movies with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
This camera comes with a 2.6 inch widescreen display. Information on camera settings is displayed in the control panel on the right hand edge of the screen, so settings can be changed quickly and easily.

Equipped with Casio’s new Exilim Engine 3.0, the EX-Z300 and EX-Z250 combine high resolution and high speed image processing to produce photos of people and night scenes.
Both are high resolution models, and they are said to offer precise, smooth rendering of images. They automatically detect and correct for difficult situations, such as night scene photography where camera shake could be a problem, or backlit subjects where faces often come out too dark.

These cameras also feature a Makeup function that is claimed to create beautiful photographs of people’s faces: high end image processing can smooth skin and soften facial shadows caused by sunlight. The photographer can choose to apply such image processing at one of 12 levels, from weak to strong, and can shoot while checking the results of the effects in the LCD monitor.
Both cameras have a 3.0 inch LCD monitor. The high contrast screen produces sharp, bright images that can be viewed from any angle, and the monitor’s high brightness means that it can be viewed even when the surrounding light is bright.
The EX-Z300 comes equipped with a high definition movie recording function, which allows movies with an image size of 1280 by 720 pixels to be recorded with just a push of the Movie button. They also feature the H.264 video standard, which records movies in highly compressed video files.
