EXILIM High Speed EX-FH20

High-Speed Burst Shooting

Never miss those important moments!

Take up to 40 photos per second with the High-Speed Burst Shooting feature. The recording image rate can be varied between 1 and 30 photos per second with up to 8 megapixels or 40 photos with up to 7 megapixels. A maximum of 40 photos can be taken in a second, or in intervals 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 30 photos in next to no time, such as 10 photos in 4 seconds. This way, you will always capture exactly the right moment!

High-speed movies with up to 1000 fps

Movies in high speed

The EX-FH20 can make high-speed movie recordings of movements that are too fast for the naked eye, enabling them to be played back in ultra-slow motion. To do this, you can choose a recording speed of 210 fps, 420 fps or 1000 fps.

Extremely bright, large 7.6-cm TFT colour display
(super clear LCD)

Total clarity

The EX-FH20 features a large, bright 7.6-cm (3.0-inch) TFT colour display (super clear LCD) that permits viewing from almost any angle. In addition to the large viewing angle and a high resolution of 230,400 pixels, the TFT colour display provides above-average contrast, thus assuring an especially clear and sharp image of your subject. The display offers above-average brightness to simplify viewing of your images, even in sunlight. You can select from 5 presets to match the brightness to the ambient lighting conditions: 0/+1/+2/Auto1/Auto2

Pre-record mode

Record images before the shutter release button is pressed

With the EX-FH20, it's not only possible to take photos when the shutter release button is pressed — you can also take photos before that!
With continuous recording of up to 40 photos per second, a maximum of 39 photos can be saved in the camera's buffer memory — even before the shutter release button is pressed. The 40th image then corresponds to the photo that was taken when the shutter release button was pressed.

HD video recording

Ready for the movies!

The HD video recording feature of the EXILIM EX-FH20 makes it possible to create colourful and high-detail videos with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels*.

9.1 megapixels (effective)

Outstanding top performance

The new high-speed CMOS sensor on the 9.1-megapixel EX-FH20 allows you to create sharp, detailed and brilliantly coloured photos. The maximum image size is 3456 x 2592 pixels, which, because of the excellent quality, enables you to print high-resolution photos on A3 paper or larger.

Various flash functions

A flash for every situation

You can adapt the flash on the EXILIM EX-FH20 for various situations. The following pre-settings are available:

- Red eye reduction: reduces the effect of "red eye"
- Auto: Flash is automatically activated when required
- On: Flash always on
- Off: Flash always off.

26 mm wide-angle lens

So far, so good

The combination of 26 mm wide-angle lens* and 20x optical zoom makes the EX-FH20 the perfect companion for every occasion, providing great scope to capture your loved ones, the most beautiful sights or a romantic sunset. With the 26-mm focal length, you can capture a larger area and, for example, include more friends in a group photo at a shorter distance, or photograph a complete landscape or skyline.

*equivalent to 35 mm film

Memory card slot

However you want

The EX-FH20 can save your photos and movies to your choice of SD/SDHC and MMC/MMC plus cards. You can now decide which of these optional cards to use spontaneously and flexibly.

Advanced Auto Tracking AF function

Everything in view

Running dogs, excited children, passing cars — there are many examples of moving subjects, which cause problems, even for professionals. Thanks to the Advanced Auto Tracking AF function with motion analysis, you can concentrate on the entire subject without worrying. Press the shutter release button half way down to fix the focus on the subject. As soon as the chance for a photo is there, simply "snap"!

Manual settings

Do it yourself!

Besides high-performance automatic controls, the EX-FH20 also boasts a wide range of manual options for creative shots. Set the aperture and shutter to suit your photographic requirements.

BEST SHOT mode

You don't need to be an expert to create great photos

The EX-FH20 comes with over 18 flexible pre-settings for a variety of situations to help ensure that photos automatically turn out well. With BEST SHOT, you can also create and save your own settings, which can be selected at any time.

Multi-motion function

Always on the move

The multi-motion function means that the camera automatically detects moving subjects against a static background and uses the high-speed serial picture recording feature to create an image sequence. The camera also selects up to five of these photos and combines them into one final photo, in which the images are shown in sequence against the static background.

High-speed Anti Shake

Automatically keep a steady hand

The BEST SHOT high-speed anti-shake function uses high-speed serial picture recording to the max for clearer images. The positions of consecutive photos are automatically combined to form one optimised photo. This means that even telephoto shots, which tend to be blurred due to hand movement, are clear and sharp.

Face detection function

Say cheese!

Whether on holiday, at a party or with the family, people are an especially popular subject for photos. It is a shame then, when their faces are blurred. Practical: The face detection function recognises individual faces or even entire groups and automatically determines the best possible setting.

Flash Continuous Shutter

Always illuminated

With the Flash Continuous Shutter on the EX-FH20, it is possible to take up to ten consecutive photos with flash, with a speed of up to five photos per second. So you can guarantee great photos in poor light conditions!

High-speed night-time photos

Clarity at night-time too

The BEST SHOT high-speed night-time photos function uses high-speed serial picture recording to the max for clearer images at night. The positions of consecutive photos are automatically combined to form one optimised photo. The danger of blurred photos is reduced when taking photos at night, even without using a tripod.
