In time to help capture your Summer 2009 memories, Casio America will release its new compact 12.1-megapixel EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-H10 digital camera featuring an ultra-wide angle 24mm, 10x optical zoom lens in mid July for $299.99. Inside the EX-H10 is the EXILIM Engine 4.0, which helps to deliver higher image quality and lower power consumption, along with Multi-CPU that was designed for high-speed image processing.  Casio has also packed in a 720p HD Movie function, with a dedicated movie button, a 3.0-inch monitor, and a CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism into the EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-H10's slim .95” thin body.

Additional Casio EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-H10 features:

Advanced Dynamic Photo function

Casio’s original Dynamic Photo function, which creates composite moving images using the camera’s own high-speed image processing technology, now does even more. When a moving subject is cut out of a number of images and combined with a different still shot that forms the background, the size of the subject can be changed to suit the background image. Next, the Dynamic Photo video can easily be converted in-camera into a Motion JPEG movie file. Moreover, moving graphics such as hearts and bouquets of flowers are included so that users can have fun decorating their still images using the Dynamic Photo function. Casio not only allows users to have fun taking and viewing photos, but also provides innovative new ways for them to create original images, right on the camera.

1,000-shot long battery life
Casio has reduced energy consumption by improving the circuitry and operational controls and designing a higher capacity battery, enabling the user to take 1,000 shots on a single full charge. The EX-H10 provides a convenient solution for people on the go. It’s possible to take 100 pictures every day of a 10 day vacation, without ever needing to recharge, eliminating the need to pack a charger. The long-life battery gives users approximately 11 consecutive hours of viewing on a single charge.

New Landscape Mode
The EX-H10 also features a new Landscape Mode for capturing beautiful scenic photography. Unlike earlier landscape photography modes, which enhance the saturation of an entire hue, users can now select between the Vivid Landscape option that uses image analysis to determine and vividly enhance only the most important colors in the landscape or the Mist Removal option that makes weather-affected misty scenes look clear and bright.

Makeup Mode
The camera has a single dedicated button that helps create beautiful pictures of people’s faces. This function ensures that faces are correctly focused and well exposed, adjusts the smoothness of skin and softens facial shadows caused by sunlight.

Handheld Night Scene function or Lighting function
The camera can automatically detect difficult situations, such as night scenes where there would normally be camera shake and backlit scenes where faces or backgrounds can be poorly exposed.  After detecting problem area, the camera then automatically adjusts to the most appropriate settings. Users only have to press the shutter button to take great pictures.
