Casio Exilim EX-Z280

The EX-Z280 is a 12.1 megapixel camera boasting a wide-angle 26 mm 4X optical zoom lens in a stylishly slim, compact body. Featuring a unique dedicated image processing CPU in addition to an ordinary CPU, the EXILIM Engine 4.0 allows this camera to create beautiful, high-quality images with outstanding color reproduction and rich tonal range. It also supports innovative functions like Dynamic Photo.

DYNAMIC PHOTO ANIMATED e-GREETINGS

This innovative function allows you to add a number of different animated graphics to still pictures in the camera. These creations can be easily viewed on the monitor, printed or converted to a movie file. Additionally, the Dynamic Photo function retains its original ability to composite a moving subject and a new background as a Motion JPEG like a Hollywood green screen.

4X WIDE ZOOM

4x zoom combines with a CMOS shift stabilization for beautiful images even at high zoom factors where images are prone to blurring.

EASY MODE

Easy Mode helps new comers become an expert with common settings - Using Easy Mode, photo settings are restricted to just image size, flash on/off and self timer, and these are displayed on a simplified menu screen.

YOUTUBE™ CAPTURE MODE

The camera will capture kids and pets on the go in the sharpest detail.
