In 2006 the Casio Exilim EX-Z60 was the latest lithium-ion battery powered camera in Casio's pursuit that is both high tech and hassle-free. The EX-Z60 offers 6.0-megapixel images and a 3x optical zoom (38-114mm lens (35mm equivalent)) packed into a slim body. The camera features a large, 2.5-inch LCD monitor as well as the Anti Shake DSP, which along with the Auto Macro and Quick Shutter functions, considerably reduces the incidence of blurred images due to moving subjects or shaky hands, ensuring that images can be created and enjoyed by anyone. The EX-Z60 comes with many other convenient and user-friendly features, including Easy Mode, a simplified camera menu that facilitates effortless picture taking. A noteworthy EX-Z60 function includes Revive Shot, which refreshes faded colors of old photos by bringing them back to life in digital format, automatically adjusting for obliquity even when photos are shot while still in the album. The Rapid Flash function enables three consecutive, high-speed flash photos in only one second, ensuring that no special moments are missed. The Easy Mode setting provides a simplified, easy-to-understand, and convenient version of the settings menu and camera interface, designed especially for first-time users but also helpful to those who prefer a basic camera settings interface as well. The BEST SHOT button enables convenient, one-touch access to 33 scenarios chosen from an image menu and providing the user with a wide range of camera settings for taking hassle-free photos every time. Other features are “Soft Flash” That prevents overexposure when taking shots in Macro, stores images on SD memory cards (includes 8.3 MB internal memory), minimal shutter lag of approximately 0.002 seconds, auto lens shield, and a ¼ inch 20 thread tripod socket.
