The EX-Z600 offers 6.0 megapixel high resolution
photos in a stylish, compact, and pocket-sized package. The extra large
2.7-inch Super Bright LCD produces an impressive luminance of 1200
candelas per square meter. This significant advancement makes the LCD
easier to see, especially when viewed in the sunny outdoors. In auto
mode, the LCD automatically adjusts to the brightness of the surrounding
environment. The EX-Z600¡¯s Super Life Battery now has an even longer
battery life, supporting a staggering 550 shots per charge.
The EX-Z600 zoom series model includes the Best Shot mode, eBay Best
Shot, which allows users to take photos at a size that is image
optimized for display on eBay, allowing picture takers to more quickly
and easily create photos for selling items on eBay. eBay Best Shot mode
also includes Auto Macro, an ideal setting for capturing images of small
items such as jewelry, tags, etc., thus automatically adjusting the
focus from acquiring fine details in close up shots to capturing large
items from a distance. eBay Best Shot mode allows users to capture
optimized images at an ideal size for eBay.
The EX-Z600 includes the latest version of the EXILIM Engine,
featuring the Anti Shake DSP, which along with the Auto Macro and Quick
Shutter functions, considerably reduces the incidence of blurred photos
due to moving subjects or shaky hands.
New to the EX-Z600 is the Rapid Flash function, which enables three
consecutive high speed flash photos in only one second, allowing you to
completely capture the moment without losing precious seconds between
shots. The EX-Z600 includes ¡°Old Photo¡± Best Shot Mode, used to take
still images of old photos for long term preservation and enjoyment.
¡°Old Photo¡± digitally revives faded colors and automatically adjusts for
obliquity, even when photos are shot while still in the album. The
EX-Z600 is equipped with a BEST SHOT Button, allowing convenient one-touch
access to this popular feature that offers 33 different scene selections,
including Anti Shake and Old Photo, for hassle-free photos every time. |
