Product Description:
The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z300 Digital Camera is a high quality digital camera with excellent functionality that allows users to take beautiful pictures of people's faces and night scenes. It features a compact body that contains the combination of a 1/2.3"-type 10.1 megapixel image sensor and an EXILIM-branded 4x optical zoom lens with a useful 28mm wide-angle. A 3.0-inch LCD display with 230,400 dot resolution offers the EX-Z300's only option for framing and reviewing images, as there's no optical viewfinder on this model. The Casio EX-Z300 also includes CCD-shift type mechanical image stabilization, useful for preventing blur from camera shake. ISO sensitivity ranges from a low of ISO 64 to a maximum of ISO 3,200 equivalent, so it should be possible to further fight off camera shake and subject motion blurring by boosting the sensitivity - albeit with increased image noise. Casio's Z300 employs a contrast-detection autofocus system operating off data streaming from the camera's image sensor and the EX-Z300 also includes face detection capability. Another interesting function is that the Casio Z300 offers a twelve step "makeup" function which processes subjects' faces to smooth the skin and correct for shadows on faces - and this function can be accessed directly from a "makeup" button on the camera's body. The Casio EX-Z300 can also correct for under- or over-exposed areas in contrasty scenes. The Casio EXILIM Z300 offers not just still photos, but

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm.
But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...

Camera Parts & Features - these are standard or basic features on a camera. Your camera may have different features. If you have any questions, please e-mail me.
View Finder - A small eyepiece or screen on the camera that allows you to see the image you're recording. (The camera also acts as a VCR, so you can play back and watch what you have already recorded through the view finder).

It's worthwhile to white balance every time you use your camera to get the highest quality video. If your camera doesn't have this feature, it may have an automatic or internal system. What white balancing does is adjust the intensity of the colors being recorded according to the existing light. Make sure you white balance every time the lighting conditions change; if you record video inside and then go outside, your lighting conditions have changed and you need to instruc ...
