The Exilim EX-FH100 is often a representative of Casio's household of "substantial speed" Exilims, capable of firing away a optimum of 30 frames in a 3/four moment, 40 frames per second (fps) burst. It packs a ten-megapixel again-illuminated CMOS sensor having a a few-inch LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY display, a 10x optical zoom vast-angle lens, HD picture documenting and a generous assortment of Ideal Shot scene modes.

The Casio FH100 is surely geared towards the enthusiast shooter, instead of only because of its $349 price tag tag. You will uncover a number of advanced goodies for instance aperture and shutter precedence, a manual mode, NATURAL record support (the DNG format) and manual focusing. However the highlight from the Casio FH100 is undoubtedly the a number of creative options afforded by its substantial velocity capacity for both nonetheless photographs and films.

Look and feel: Casio went to get a refined seem using the EX-FH100, with a black system and a lens barrel rimmed using the thin line of silver trim. The layout is nevertheless modest and understated, a welcome contrast to some from the a lot more garish pink and green digicams populating the market.

The Casio FH100 weighs in at 7.94 ounces (225g) with battery and reminiscence card, so it has some heft to it (not surprising, considering the 10x optical zoom it houses). General, it incorporates a nice, sturdy really feel. To the still left of your lens barrel, the FH100's entire body gently protrudes to provide appropriate-handed shooters a much more safe grip for a person handed operation. Depending on the way you're keeping it (or how huge your fingers are) you might obscure a portion in the flash with your middle finger, as the flash sits proper over the hand grip. It is some thing you will require to be mindful of when shooting.

Measuring 4.1 x two.five x one.2-inches, the Casio FH100 is fairly pocketable for any long-zoom.

ontrols: Atop the Casio FH100 you can discover the Power switch, zoom stage/shutter button, a Substantial-velocity button for placing the FH100 into continuous shooting mode, as well as a Mode dial for obtain to Greatest Shot (identified by its unfortunate abbreviation BS), Car, Aperture priority, Shutter priority and Manual modes. When High-pace mode is engaged, a smaller yellow LED lighting up (you are going to even be alerted to the display). Whilst the Power button and Substantial-pace buttons sit reasonably flush using the digital camera human body, they're extremely responsive. The power button is usually a bit around the tiny aspect, however.

Within the back of your Casio FH100, the remainder from the controls congregate for the proper from the digicam's huge 3-inch show. Casio included a devoted history button for video clip shooting, plus a management to switch to select among large pace filming (i.e. sluggish motion) and standard video recording. You may leap directly into video recording only by hitting the video recording button--rather handy.

Beneath the movie controls is often a File button for turning the digital camera on but not off--at the very least, not at default. It is possible to software the button to also flip the digital camera away from. I'm not guaranteed why you'd need to have a 2nd on/off button--it can be using up priceless actual-est--however it's there if the Power button atop the video camera isn't doing work available for you. Upcoming up is actually a four-way controller. Push it up, and you can add and get rid of digital camera info in the display. Thrust it lower, along with the Casio FH100 will convey up an on-display menu for adjusting the flash, day and time, exposure, white balance, ISO and image resolution (when in aperture/shutter precedence or manual this menu filter can even allow you to established shutter speed and aperture). The still left/right button may be programmed inside the digital camera to accessibility possibly focusing, metering, self-timer, deal with detection, ISO, white balance, and publicity. It is extremely great to possess the solution to established custom functions, but you are able to't program equally the still left as well as the appropriate keys, which seems like a alternatively arbitrary limitation--why not allow left and appropriate to become customized?

Underneath the 4-way controller are buttons for Playback and Menu. General, the controls are very well-situated and responsive.
