Norderstedt, January 2005 - The new EXILIM Digital Camera EX-P505 is a high-quality photo and movie camera in one. The new movable 2-inch TFT colour display enables photos from all different kinds of angles. The swivel display is available to the fastidious photographer when he is taking photographs as well as filming and allows the comfortable viewing of photos and movies. 5.0 megapixels, 5x optical zoom as well as state-of-the-art technology for brilliant pictures and fantastic films are concealed in the black body of the EX-P505. The powerful EXILIM Engine and SUPER LIFE battery provide staying power in every recording mode.
In the photo mode the high-performance camera is ready for use quickly*, captivates through a short shutter release time lag of around 0.01 second** and fast Playback function. Beside the automatic mode it offers the CASIO typical BEST SHOT scenes and aperture, shutter priority and manual settings for creative photo experiments. With the Super Macro function every detail, no matter how small, is shown to its fullest advantage, as it enables photos and movies to be shot from a distance of around 1 cm. A highly efficient Auto Pop-Up Flash provides sufficient exposure of the respective scenery. The EX Key permits simple access to the basic settings and the EX Finder visualises the current camera settings - that way the ambitious photographer always retains the overview.
The fast multi-talent records movies in MPEG-4 format, VGA, in stereo sound. The so-called movie BEST SHOT functions, similar to the well-known scenarios such as portrait or landscape settings in the photo mode, are new. The Past Movie function is also selected at the practical mode regulator and continuously records everything the director finds in front of his lens. After pressing the shutter release it also stores the last 5 seconds before the start of the recording. Every important moment becomes a film highlight. In the Short Movie function short films of up to 8 seconds in length can be shot. The start of the recording is freely selectable here and the person filming is responsible for whether the film is to be shot before, with or after the shutter release has been pressed. If you'd like to print out a single picture as a photo, you can do this in the Motion Print function. It releases a single picture form the film or brings the selected photo with eight other randomly selected pictures together into a collage. Both motif-selection possibilities can be comfortably printed out thanks to diverse connection possibilities: the black compact camera supports the PictBridge and USB Direct Print Standard. Furthermore, photos and films can be directly transferred via USB2.0 to the PC and via AV outlet directly to the television. The camera comes complete with the required USB cables, AV cable, lithium storage battery with charger and extensive software on CD-ROM.
The EXILIM Pro EX-P505 is available from retailers from March 2005.
