CASIO's renowned digital imaging technology delivers a release time lag of about 0.01 second. This means the shutter releases virtually the instant you press the shutter button. Fast release time lag It captures the image you want. Slow release time lag Timing is slightly off. The distance from the subject is measured at seven different points, and the camera automatically selects the point where the camera-to-subject distance is shortest. This allows more precise focus and eliminates the chance of foreground subjects being out of focus when the main subject is not located in the center of the screen.* The Triple Self-timer records three consecutive shots with a single shutter button operation. Then you can select the one you want to keep. You can change settings and even record images while checking current exposure levels with the histogram. A curve that is too far left indicates underexposure, while a curve to the right indicates over exposure. A centered graph indicates best exposure. The Macro Mode lets you move in up to 10 centimeters for intimate closeups that reveal more about a subject. A simple operation displays a grid on the monitor screen to simplify image composition and help to ensure that images are aligned properly. Record movies up to 60 seconds long. The camera can also run on common AA-size alkaline batteries, which means you can easily purchase batteries, no matter where your travels happen to take you. *Alkaline batteries may not provide any operation when the temperature is 5°C (41°F) or lower.
