| A high-performance CCD, a new EXILIM
Engine, and 5 megapixels of resolution produce
beautifully detailed images. A 3-segment telescoping
3X optical zoom lens provides plenty of resolution
in a thin design. Optical zoom in combination with
4X digital zoom delivers up to 12X total zoom. |

A new, advance super long life battery provides
an amazing amount of operation between charges. The EX-Z57
lets you record 400 images on a single charge.*1

CIPA Standards
The Camera and Imaging Products
Association (CIPA) defines various standards
for measuring camera performance, including
battery life. These standards help to standardize
the battery life values reported in the catalogs
and user documentation of different manufacturers,
which helps users to better compare different
products against each other. |
CIPA Standard Battery Life Measurement
Conditions
Normal temperature (23°C); unused
primary or fully charged secondary battery;
monitor on; zoom operation between full wide
and full telephoto every 30 seconds; during
which two images are recorded with flash; power
turned off and back on every time 10 images
are recorded. Battery life is time it takes
for the power supply to shut down for the first
time as recording is repeated under the above
conditions.
* As a general rule, factory default camera
setup is used. |
|
|
|
 |
| This means the camera is ready
to shoot or view as soon as you are. A REC mode power
button lets you start recording in an instant. A PLAY
mode power button puts you directly into the PLAY mode
for image viewing. |

The amazing speed of the new EXILIM models
helps to ensure that they are always ready to capture
those special moments whenever you are. Even though it
is equipped with an optical zoom lens, the EXILIM starts
up in just 1.6 seconds*2 and has a release time lag of
only 0.01 second.*3
*2: Approximate; using built-in memory, built-in flash off.
*3: Approximate time from when the shutter button is
fully pressed from focus lock until the image starts
to be recorded (monitor screen and flash off). |
|
 |
| Pressing the shutter button all the way
automatically enters the Pan Focus (PF) mode for high-speed
recording. Pan focus immediately performs a record operation
without waiting for Auto Focus to be performed, which
makes it easier to capture fast-moving subjects and subjects
located where lighting is dim. |
