EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-V8 Black
Introduction
This camera has innovative functions for reducing photo blur, made possible by mechanical CCD shift technology. It also combines Casio’s Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur from shaky hands or a moving subject by using higher ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, with new motion analysis technology that uses the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to capture a moving photo subject. The new motion analysis technology is built into the new EXILIM Engine 2.0. Even at high zoom settings, the EX-V8 reduces most occurrences of image blur.
It features Casio’s new YouTube Capture Mode, which enables users to shoot and save movies at the optimum size, quality and other settings for YouTube, the world’s most popular online site for sharing videos.
Casio has also included an exclusive software application that makes it fast and simple to upload movies to YouTube.
