Darkness can't harm the nippy party camera: if a photo has turned out too dark, it can be brightened up mostly automatically with the Flash Assist function. The snapshots are as cool as the "icy little one". Thanks to the Direct On function, the camera is ready for use in around 1.6 seconds, and with a shutter release time lag of only 0.01 seconds, even the fastest skier can still be photographed with no problem. The movie function will assist you during a fast bobsleigh run in the ice-channel. It records a film with sound with no time limit. Every situation demands its individual setting: with the BESTSHOT function the photo-lover has the choice between 23 pre-recorded scenes for all different kinds of pictures. A further highlight of the lifestyle camera is the new Auto Macro function, which automatically switches from the auto focus to the macro mode and back again as required and enables uncomplicated photography. With so much technology, the Icon Help function helps by explaining the symbols of the mode that the photographer is currently using.
The camera charges the Lithium-Ion battery for the next excursion in the snow via the USB docking station or controls the data transmission from the camera to the PC. The docking station and the storage battery are included in the delivery package, as well as extensive software on CD-ROM and a carrying strap.
The EXILIM Zoom EX-Z50 "Blue Ice" is available from retailers from the end of November. |
