FEATURES
Innovative H.264 Movies
With the EX-S880, you can turn your brilliant ideas into digital reality – and in extremely high quality too, as the movies* are recorded in innovative H.264 format. The H.264 enables you to record up to 1.5x longer high resolution films with sound than in MPEG4** format, with the same memory space and in the same picture quality. Extremely practical: The video clips are optimized automatically for YouTube™ with the new YouTube™ Capture Mode.
*max. recording duration 10 minutes/movie
**compared with EX-S600, resolution: 640 x 480
Very bright 7.1 cm (2.8-inch) Wide Screen TFT colour display
The EX-S880 comes equipped with an extremely bright and wide 7.1 cm (2.8-inch) wide screen TFT colour display, which offers an even larger visual angle. It features 230,400 pixels and can thus allow a particularly brilliant display of your pictures. With approx. 1000 cd/m²* the display features above-average brightness and this means the user can view every motif very accurately, no matter how bright the sunlight. And to ensure you have the best view whatever the situation, the luminous intensity can be adjusted to suit the light in the area in question. You have four default settings at your disposal for this purpose: -1/0/+1/+2/AUTO
* Max. brightness: Measured in the centre of the TFT colour display
8.1 Megapixel CCD Sensor
The CCD-Chip of the EXILIM Card EX-S880 supplies a rich 8.1 million Pixels of full colour brilliance and focus. Such high resolution photos give you the advantage that you can print them out in excellent quality or edit them on the computer. This means that enlargement of details and poster size photos are possible.
YouTube™ Capture Mode
It has never been easier to upload your own movies to YouTube™: With the EX-S880, you can film your most memorable moments directly in H.264 format optimized for YouTube™, in optimal movie size and outstanding quality*! And the exclusive software makes uploading your films to YouTube™ child's play.
*max. recording duration 10 minutes/movie
3x optical zoom
The EX-S880 is only about as thick as your little finger - but has a 3x optical zoom. And so you will be able to see the finest details and will always be in the thick of the action. Rapid Flash
Do you want to take a photo in the dark and are unable to judge the right moment correctly? With the Rapid Flash function, three photos are taken with flash in the space of just one second, ensuring that you no longer miss those wonderful moments.
Data Storage function
Word documents, Excel tables, PowerPoint presentations and websites and any other type of printable data can all be transferred without difficulty to the EX-S880 . This means you can have all important information at the tip of your fingers and can view them at high resolution on the large Wide Screen display.
EXILIM Engine 2.0
The extremely powerful EXILIM Engine 2.0 combines multiple components in a compact space, works extremely quickly and saves energy. The image processor also has sufficient capacity for the Auto Tracking AF function, hue adjustment to optimise dark areas, targeted noise elimination in critical colour areas and quicker image processing. And the new EXILIM Engine 2.0 also ensures quick reaction times and long battery operating times – which creates great pictures.
Advanced Auto Tracking AF Function
Dogs running, kids jumping around, moving cars - there are countless examples of moving subjects, which can try the patience of even professional photographers. Thanks to the Auto Tracking AF function with motion analysis, you can relax and concentrate on the overall subject. Press the release button half way down, to fix the focus for saving – as soon as you see the picture you want, simply press release!
9-Point Multi AF function
If you take photos using the multi-focus, the camera measures the distance from the motif with the 9-Point Multi AF function at nine different points and sets the right focusing range. In addition, all the measured areas are displayed simultaneously which were the object of the focussing procedure. This means that every picture is extremely crisply focused.
Various Flash
You can adapt the flash of the EXILIM Card EX-S880 to different situations. The following presets are available for this:
- Red Eye-Reduction: reduces the "red eye effect"
- Rapid Flash: three photos with flash in 1 second
- Soft Flash: for ideal illumination of the immediate area
- Auto: flash is switched on automatically when required
- On: flash always switched on
- Off: flash always switched off
Continuous zoom shooting With this function you get two photos at the same time when you press the shutter release once – one complete image and a selected detail. The divided display not only enables you to view both images, but also the practical illustration makes it easier for you to select the detail of the image you require. The quality of this detail depends on the resolution which was preset.
Face-recognition function
The face-recognition function recognizes faces in the picture. Extremely clever: The face-recognition function can save up to 6 faces via a biometric mask. If several faces appear on a photo when taking a picture, the face recognition function focuses primarily on faces which have been saved previously in the family register. This enables you to set "preferences" for certain people when taking a photograph at family celebrations.
Face Detection function
Whether you're on holiday, at a party or spending time with your family - people are particularly popular subjects for a photo. It's always a pity when faces turn out blurred on a picture. The Face Detection function now offers the perfect solution, recognizing the individual faces or even entire groups, and automatically applying the best possible setting.
