A new type of 3-segment telescoping type zoom mechanism and Stack MCM* chip mounting makes is possible to pack everything into a thin and compact 87(W) x 57(H) x 22.9(D) mm configuration (19.7 mm at thinnest point). The body of the EX-Z3 is made of silver finish lightweight aluminum alloy. | | | 3x optical zoom lens in a slim-configuration card-size camera | The lens of the EX-Z3 uses a type of 3-segment telescoping lens mechanism that makes it possible to provide 3x optical zoom capabilities in an amazingly thin configuration. | | | Quick response ensures you get the images you want | A new type of zoom lens and an optimized startup controller minimize the wait before the camera is ready to shoot after power is turned on. | | | Big 2.0-inch LCD monitor screen | The big, easy-to-read 2.0-inch TFT LCD monitor screen of the EX-Z3 features a digital interface for clearer display images. You can use the monitor screen as a viewfinder to compose images or for on-the-spot checking of recorded images. Other monitor screen functions include a Photo Stand feature for displaying images while the camera is on its cradle, a full month calendar that shows the first image recorded during each day, and much more. | | | Photo Stand Feature: Placing the EX-Z3 onto its cradle and pressing the Photo button starts a slideshow of images currently in image memory. You can even set up the camera to display the images you want whenever it is placed on the cradle. | | Calendar Screen: Each date of the full month calendar screen shows a thumbnail of the first image recorded on each date. This visual diary of images makes it possible for you to quickly search for and locate the image you want. | | 0.01 second release time lag | A Casio LSI system reduces the release time lag (the time it takes until exposure starts after the shutter release is pressed) to a mere 0.01 second, which ensures that you are able to capture the image that is in the viewfinder when you press the shutter release. | | | 3.2 million effective pixels for high-resolution imaging | The EX-Z3 CCD provides a total of 3.34 pixels of high-resolution digital imaging. This level of resolution makes it possible to capture all the nuances of subtle flesh tones and fine details of scenery shots, and primary colour filtering ensures vivid colours every time. | | | Best Shot Mode for instant setups | The Best Shot Mode provides optimum camera setups in an instant. Simply select the sample scene that is similar to the image you want to record, and the camera's light metering, exposure compensation, saturation, and other settings are configured accordingly. The EX-Z3 has total of 21 sample scenes built in, including "Coupling Shot" and "Pre Shot." | | | | Coupling Shot: When there are only two people present, Person A composes the image of Person B against a background and presses the shutter release. This freezes the image on the monitor screen. Then they switch places, and Person B composes the final image now with Person A included. The final recorded image shows both Person A and Person B, as if the were both standing in front of the camera. | | Pre Shot: With Pre Shot, you compose the background you want and press the shutter release. This freezes the background image on the monitor screen. Then you can ask someone else to record your image, using the frozen background as a composition guide. The final recorded image shows you against the background you want. | | Triple Self-timer: | The Triple Self-timer records three consecutive shots with a single shutter release button operation. Then you can select the best of the three and keep it. | | | Automatic image transfer to a computer with the press of the cradle's USB button | | | Photo Loader: Simply connect the cradle to your computer, place the EX-Z3 onto the cradle, and press the cradle's USB button, and PhotoLoader automatically transfers all JPEG and AVI files in image memory to the computer. | | Photohands: Photohands provides you with image editing capabilities for colour, contrast, brightness, and other parameters. To start up Photohands, simply click the Photo Loader print button. | | Album feature | The EX-Z3 stores images in a Web browser-viewable that allows you to browse images in an album format. The album feature uses HTML format, which means you can incorporate an album directly into a Web site, and even print directly from the album. | | | SD/MMC memory card slot | In addition to its 10MB of built-in Flash Memory, the EX-Z3 also supports use of thin, compact SD memory cards and MMC cards (not included). An easy operation copies images between a memory card and built-in memory. | | | Favourites folder keeps important images private | 320 x 240 size images can be copied to a Favourites folder located in the camera's built-in memory. Images in the Favourites folder do not display during normal image playback, which means you can keep your personal images private when carrying them around in camera memory. | | | Key Customization | Key customization lets you assign recording mode, exposure compensation, white balance, ISO sensitivity, or self-timer functions to the left/right controller buttons. Then you can change these setting simply by pressing the left or right control button. | | | EPSON "USB DIRECT-PRINT" compliant | You can connect the camera's USB cable directly to an EPSON "USB DIRECT-PRINT" compatible printer for printing without going through a computer (printer not included). |
