Powerful CASIO F1
The exposure of this product really is in fact this year’s 2008 CES show, Casio EXILIM CASIO F1 has 60fp shooting ability, when given an official reference price as high as 999.99 U.S. dollars, equivalent to about 7270 yuan RMB. 6 million pixels can be achieved under the burst rate of 60fps, was so amazing. According to its official spokesman, this is mainly due to the result of cooperation with Apple.
From the outside, CASIO F1 Casio subvert the previous fashion gives the impression, though not single-lens reflex, but in product design and its very close. Overall design of compact, almost no tough linear section, choose plastic material, but the surface, especially the handle part through a special process, the feel quite good. Our hands when the test machine and found that it was not like some mid-range telephoto digital camera, as the fuselage in order to control the volume of blindly shrinking the size of the handle is very fitting palm of the hand. Its volume 127.7x 79.6x 130.1mm, weight reached 671g, but it holds an excellent machine stability. The front of a huge body shot, which is a big selling point CASIO F1, later on we will detail.
The back of the fuselage, are equipped with a 2.8-inch 230,000 pixel display, although some cameras do not screen size exaggeration, to 3.5 inches, but the details of the performance of the screen is very good, bright enough outside shooting can still clearly have to see the screen content. Top of the screen, there is a 0.2-inch 20-megapixel EVF electronic viewfinder, in the light glare or use a special lens telephoto end of shooting time, or very practical.
The entire keypad area is located right of the screen, the most prominent is the upper-right corner of the video button, a total of an optional third gear, conveniently in a variety of animation to switch between shooting modes, the middle red circle of the keys for the shooting to start button, and so Casio is also considered in order to highlight the power of video recording function, compared to the traditional pass-through mode dial or menu activated and more convenient. The right of the EVF viewfinder is the playback and recording buttons, multi-function selector above the three buttons are shooting switch, information display switch, activating the menu button, the next aspect of the multi-selector are free to set the function keys, reflecting out the human side. CASIO F1 flash to automatically pop-up design, located in the fuselage at the top, radiation, a broader scope, wide-angle end of the farthest reach 10.4m, users can use flash at 7 frames / second, shooting 20 consecutive photos, if we adopt the Built-in LED lights, burst rate can be further enhanced. Taking into account the special circumstances the use of aircraft at the top is also equipped with hot shoe interface, usually a plastic card cases protect the contacts.
CASIO F1 at the top of the design is relatively crowded, two-wheel style that we have rarely seen. In which the right side of the main turntable wheel, the main control various shooting modes, while the left wheel is used to adjust the deputy features a variety of shooting. Casio reason for this design is estimated to be to highlight the multi-shot. At the top there is the power switch and the zoom / shutter button integrated design, although CASIO F1 to reach 12 times optical zoom, but zoom in zoom speed has been designed to enable significantly improved the noise generated is relatively small. Shutter button travel relatively short, and some more rigid, fully meet the need for some time.
Casio F1 as a major selling point, its 12x optical zoom lens can be achieved using 9 groups 12 elements in the structure, internal zoom design, 35mm film camera equivalent to about 36-432mm, maximum aperture F2.7-4.6, for the a telephoto camera, this type of lens configurations belong to the middle. There may be some friends found, CASIO F1′s lens can be rotated on a function of ring, which can be achieved not only zoom function, you can also manually adjust the focus or burst rate. When the Continuous Operation (AUTO-N) the ongoing process, the continuous shooting speed can be changed.
Electrical connection, CASIO F1 is equipped with a 1950mAh capacity Li-ion battery voltage of 7.4V, the actual test case from our point of view, continuation of the Casio has always been a long time the advantages of life, one filled with, without opening the case of flash , shooting a 220, the screen also shows a grid of electricity, perfect need not equipped with battery backup. But the disadvantage is to make the fuselage more Shen.
Memory card compartment and battery compartment is not designed together, is located on the side, and similar to digital SLR cameras and support including the SDHC card and SD card storage media, including the mainstream. Continuous data, taking into account the pressure brought about by the proposed direct purchase of 2GB or 4GB of high-speed memory card. Interface located at the other side of the fuselage, HDMI interface, with a very meaningful.
As CASIO F1 uses a non-standard 14:9 screen, so the screen layout of some of the special. The left side of the screen for the collection of scenic areas, you can display shooting mode, number of remaining shots, Anti-Shake mode icon. Right of the screen black bar area for quick parameter adjustment, you can up and down buttons adjust the pixel value, flash mode, ISO sensitivity, white balance, exposure compensation, focus modes.
BS model is a feature of Casio features, in fact, the familiar profile. CASIO F1 with 25 scene modes, covering all aspects of daily life, where “out of the burst mode,” interesting very strong, it is first locked object shooting, when shooting objects out of the frame when the shutter starts. CASIO F1 also supports the H.264 standard YouTube Capture mode camera.
Anti-shake function can only be adjusted within the menu, there is no set of independent buttons, use the time not convenient for some. CASIO F1 is equipped with a practical face detection feature that automatically detects faces, so that a better shooting results. The camera can also track the trajectory of moving objects, more susceptible to capture the lively pets and children. Surround function may rarely used for home users, but it is very practical, especially for ambient light is not true for cases, exposure bracketing, white balance siege, surrounded by focusing function can simultaneously shoot multiple pictures of different settings to facilitate the user to choose from. Which set the lens ring is also for this function.
Highlights: Casio EXILIM CASIO F1 is very distinctive characteristics, its 60fps continuous shooting speed of the users are unprecedented shock. 1200fps high-speed movie recording so that the user can see with the naked eye normally difficult to capture the moment. Casio EX-F1 is a carrier of high-end technology show, is like the best choice for high-speed filming the crowd.
During this time of the trial Casio EX-F1, we have marveled for its ultra-high speed continuous shooting capability, a digital camera to do the traditional film cameras, the task can not be completed, this should be leap in the development of digital cameras. Because with such incredible shooting ability, Casio EX-F1 will be very high-end price positioning is now EX-F1 listed price of 7999 yuan, a bit put off people. In the trial in my EX-F1 to start the greatest dissatisfaction lies in its speed, but we have received on the EX-F1 firmware update for the latest news, upgraded boot speed will be improved. In fact, I personally think that the Casio EX-F1 is for the greater significance lies in its technology demonstration, and from interviews with senior officers of the Casio, we also noted that high-speed shooting in the near future, Casio will be to The following models popular, this is the most meaningful. Hope the new season, Casio models, we can see this becoming the civilian population of ultra-fast shooting!
