Action!

Camera! Action! ... The EX-S880 saves your recordings so compactly that a 1 GB memory card* can store several 10-minute films, up to a total length of approx. 1,5 hours - with no decline in quality.

Incredible

The EX-S880 is only about as thick as your little finger - but has a 3x optical zoom. And so you will be able to see the finest details and will always be in the thick of the action.

Brilliant peak performance

The CCD-Chip of the EXILIM Card EX-S880 supplies a rich 8.1 million Pixels of full colour brilliance and focus. Such high resolution photos give you the advantage that you can print them out in excellent quality or edit them on the computer. This means that enlargement of details and poster size photos are possible.

Entirely automatic

If you take photos using the multi-focus, the camera measures the distance from the motif with the 9-Point Multi AF function at nine different points and sets the right focusing range. In addition, all the measured areas are displayed simultaneously which were the object of the focussing procedure. This means that every picture is extremely crisply focused.

Everything in view

Dogs running, kids jumping around, moving cars - there are countless examples of moving subjects, which can try the patience of even professional photographers. Thanks to the Auto Tracking AF function with motion analysis, you can relax and concentrate on the overall subject. Press the release button half way down, to fix the focus for saving – as soon as you see the picture you want, simply press release!

Brilliant photos despite darkness

AF-Assist light supports the autofocus system of your EX-S880 if it is dark.

Annoying

You photograph the most beautiful settings and discover later that some pictures are blurred. Anti Shake DSP* prevents just that.

Get closer!

The Auto Macro function ensures sharpness in details or smaller settings. The EX-S880 has focussing ranges of between 15 and 50 cm in macro range, i.e. close range.

You don't have to be an expert to take fantastic pictures

In fact the EX-S880 has 39 flexible pre-settings for all sorts of situations to ensure that all photos and movies turn out well automatically. With BEST SHOT you can create and save your own settings in a flash too and you can retrieve them at any time.

Nearly all EX-S880 BEST SHOT motif settings are suitable both for taking photos and movies.

BEST SHOT at a glance

Why hide?

BEST SHOT motif settings are extremely practical and therefore can be accessed immediately at the touch of a button. From "Landscape" to "Sunset" your EX-S880 readily adjusts to the most varied demands, regardless of whether you are taking photos or movies.

Everything in view

With this function you get two photos at the same time when you press the shutter release once – one complete image and a selected detail. The divided display not only enables you to view both images, but also the practical illustration makes it easier for you to select the detail of the image you require. The quality of this detail depends on the resolution which was preset.

Rapid interplay

Simply press the DATA button and you can move seamlessly from the photo or movie view to your saved data and vice versa.

The entire world of data in your EXILIM

Word documents, Excel tables, PowerPoint presentations and websites and any other type of printable data can all be transferred without difficulty to the EX-S880. This means you can have all important information at the tip of your fingers and can view them at high resolution on the large Wide Screen display.

Now on special offer with all the advantages of the EX-S880

Up to date

Does the wrong date appear, because you have changed the settings without realizing it? Or was the time on the clock not adapted to the local time when travelling? The Date Edit function has the perfect solution to precisely these problems. The date and time can be corrected easily after the photo has been taken.

Shine anytime, anywhere

The EX-S880 is only about as big as a credit card, as thick as your little finger - and doesn't weigh much more than a bar of chocolate. In manufacturing particular attention was paid to the sophisticated design. The compact stainless steel housing is both high-quality and elegant, which gives the digital camera a completely unique appearance – so you can shine anywhere and anytime.

Instant

Whilst other cameras are still moving the lens out, you will take the best photos and make the best movies by far thanks to the DIRECT ON function. Your camera is ready to take photos at the press of a button – in only approx. 1,0 s*.

The guarantee for outstanding film recordings

The extremely powerful EXILIM Engine 2.0 combines multiple components in a compact space, works extremely quickly and saves energy. The image processor also has sufficient capacity for the Auto Tracking AF function, hue adjustment to optimise dark areas, targeted noise elimination in critical colour areas and quicker image processing. And the new EXILIM Engine 2.0 also ensures quick reaction times and long battery operating times – which creates great pictures.

The simple touch

Whether you're on holiday, at a party or spending time with your family - people are particularly popular subjects for a photo. It's always a pity when faces turn out blurred on a picture. The Face Detection function now offers the perfect solution, recognizing the individual faces or even entire groups, and automatically applying the best possible setting.

Faces in focus

The Face Detection function recognizes faces in the picture. Extremely clever: The Face Recognition function can save up to 6 faces via a biometric mask. If several faces appear on a photo when taking a picture, the Face Recognition function focuses primarily on faces which have been saved previously in the family register. This enables you to set "preferences" for certain people when taking a photograph at family celebrations.

Problem detected

With flash shots the background often remains dark. The subject is only slightly lit. The solution: Flash Assist. With this function the subject can, in many cases, still be corrected automatically.

As standard

When you press and hold the release button, the EX-S880 takes a photo every second. With the super highspeed continuous shooting, up to 4 photos* can be taken in the space of one second. The number of photos is limited only by the size of your memory card.

Are you looking for something?

With the Highspeed Image Scrolling function you can scroll through ten shots a second and thus find the right one quickly.

Questions on how it works?

Many of the EXILIM Card EX-S880 functions are all but self-explanatory. The Icon Help function stands for small, helpful flashes on the camera screen that tell you about the setting you have currently selected.

And there you have it!

Anything is possible. You just have to want it. With the EX-S880, you can turn your brilliant ideas into digital reality – and in extremely high quality too, as the movies* are recorded in innovative H.264 format. The H.264 enables you to record up to 1.5x longer high resolution movies with sound than in MPEG-4** format, with the same memory space and in the same picture quality. Extremely practical: The video clips are optimized automatically for YouTube™ with the new YouTube™ Capture Mode.

Everything with just one hand

Your EX-S880 is a real one hand camera. You control menus and movie shots with your thumb and the shutter release and the autofocus with your index finger.

It's your choice

The EX-S880 can choose between SD/SDHC and MMC/MMCplus cards for storing your photos and films. You can now decide spontaneously and flexibly which of these cards to use.

Everything you need to know about storage cards

Precise analysis

The Motion Analysis technology automatically registers and analyses the speed and direction of a moving subject – ISO sensitivity and exposure time are then optimally adjusted as appropriate.

Photos become film scenes

With the EX-S880, you can create ready-to-print freeze images of your movies quickly and easily. Simply select an individual picture.

As you like it: do you want to print out one single picture or would you prefer to combine several pictures to form a ready-to-print collage?

Incidentally, when printing out your motion prints you can save yourself the bother of using the computer. You will find out how this works in the Direct Printing Special.

Action!

With this practical button you are always ready to film the best scenes When the camera is switched on a touch of a button is enough – and filming begins immediately.

Your own cutting room

Cut your films whenever and wherever you like – without computer or complicated software. With the EXILIM EX-S880 you can edit your movies directly in the camera.

Big screen

Films you have recorded can be enlarged up to 4.5x - without losing any of the details.

Camera

With the practical Movie Rotating function, you can record your films in both landscape and portrait format, rotate them as you wish* and then enjoy them in the digital camera display or in full format on the television.

Simply practical

The movie stabilisation function* can reduce the risk of filming scenes which are wobbly because the camera has not been held still. This function can stabilise unwanted movements, which often produces better pictures.

Even closer to the action

A real innovation ensures that the compact EX-S880 can provide a zoom of up to 15.1x. Enjoy entirely new possibilities in pocket format!

And this is how it works:
The 8.1 megapixel resolution is the key to an innovative solution. When the digital zoom is activated, images with resolutions from VGA up to a maximum of 6 megapixels can be stored in the central area of the CCD chip and projected by the relevant zoom factor, without any detail being lost. Depending on the resolution you choose, this lets you achieve a zoom factor of between 4.2x and 15.1x, and still keeps you close to the action.

For a clearer view

The arrangement of the operation panel on the display is particularly clear and enables the user to move quickly between the various adjustment features.

Do you want to film the past?

Past Movie can do just that! If you do not press the shutter release on time in important moments, the past 5 seconds will already have been saved!

Digital picture frame

If you wish you can run your saved pictures across the screen like a slide show.

How fast is really fast

The EXILIM Card EX-S880 has a shutter speed of approx. 0.008 seconds* after successful focussing. Which means there is little that is fast enough to escape you!

Shoot photos faster

With moving subjects an autofocus must keep resetting itself - and this wastes time. The Quick Shutter turns the autofocus off when the shutter is immediately pushed down fully. The time between pressing the shutter and shooting starting is now only approx. 0.008 seconds*.

Don't miss a thing

Do you want to take a photo in the dark and are unable to judge the right moment correctly? With the Rapid Flash function, three photos are taken with flash in the space of just one second, ensuring that you no longer miss those wonderful moments.

New from old

If you photograph the contents of your old photograph album with the Revive Shot function, yellowed and pale colours are automatically refreshed and the photos are revived for a new and long life in digital form.

No need to miss anything any longer

Say good-bye to long drawn-out scenes: in Short Movie mode, you can automatically film for up to 8 seconds as soon as you press the shutter release. When you combine several of these short movies together, you can create an interesting, enjoyable impression of the most beautiful places and events.

Were you too late pressing the shutter release? No problem because you can combine this mode with Past Movie if necessary - and even seconds which you have missed are automatically saved when you start your recording.

If you want, the camera can create a MOTION PRINT for every short movie.

The movie shown here is intended only as an example – the EX-S880 records high-resolution H.264 movies (max. recording duration 10 minutes/movie).

For people who want more

Film movies and take a photograph at the same time - you don't need two cameras to do this but the EXILIM Card EX-S880. Press the button while you're filming a movie and enjoy individual photos in full 8.1 Megapixel quality.

Extreme Power

When, for perfectly good reasons, the battery suddenly dies, it's more than annoying - but avoidable. EX-S880 uses very little energy and takes a Super Life Battery. And so it has enough power to take 220 photos to CIPA standard.

Now in special: All about the Super Life Battery.

An eye on the time

The Time Stamp function enables you to give your photos a “time stamp” so that you can always see at first glance when you took the photo.

Custom-made

With trimming you can define sections of a photo while they are still in the camera and save them as separate shots. And so, for example, you can just cut a person's face and print it out as a photo - even without a computer.

No computer needed

You can connect the EXILIM EX-S880 directly to a printer and have your pictures in your hand soon afterwards, printed on photo paper. USB Direct Print ist the standard EPSON printer. PictBridge connects your camera to different manufacturers' printers. Preset paper sizes help to select the right format.

You will find detailed information on Direct Printing now in the Special.

Two points meet

The USB Docking Station is a flexible solution for a range of functions – such as the USB 2.0 connection to a computer, photo printer or battery charge. Thanks to the AV-connection, you can connect your EX-S880 simply and easily.

The flash for every situation

You can adapt the flash of the EXILIM Card EX-S880 to different situations. The following presets are available for this:

•	Red Eye-Reduction: reduces the "red eye effect"
•	Rapid Flash: three photos with flash in 1 second
•	Soft Flash: for ideal illumination of the immediate area
•	Auto: flash is switched on automatically when required
•	On: flash always switched on
•	Off: flash always switched off

Clear view

The EX-S880 comes equipped with an extremely bright and wide 7.1 cm (2.8-inch) wide screen TFT colour display, which offers an even larger visual angle. It features 230,400 pixels and can thus allow a particularly brilliant display of your pictures. With approx. 1000 cd/m²* the display features above-average brightness and this means the user can view every motif very accurately, no matter how bright the sunlight. And to ensure you have the best view whatever the situation, the luminous intensity can be adjusted to suit the light in the area in question. You have four default settings at your disposal for this purpose: -1/0/+1/+2/AUTO
