(Note: Please excuse the quality of some screen captures, the EX-S880
does not have video out when in record mode so we had to take
these from the user's manual.)
Here you can see the Panel display, using the typical Auto record mode. Along the right hand side of the
frame are icons for Image size/quality, Flash mode, Self-timer, Face Detect AF, Anti-Shake, ISO, White
balance, EV compensation, and the Time. On the right you can also see the live histogram display. This
"Panel" is actually a shortcut menu. Pressing the SET button in the center of the 4-way controller
allows you to toggle settings. A very "cool" feature.
Pressing the DISPlay button along the top of the LCD gives you access to the Display menu. Here you can
enable or disable the Panel display (shown above), determine the amount of Info. displayed, adjust the
brightness, and change the type (Dynamic, Vivid, Real, Night, Power Saving).
Press the "BS" (BestShot) button to select the Record mode:
- Auto - Program AE snapshot mode
- Best Shot "scene" modes:
Portrait, Scenery, Portrait with Scenery, Children, Sports, Candlelight Portrait, Party, Pet,
Flower, Natural Green, Autumn Leaves, Soft Flowing Water, Splashing Water, Sundown, Night Scene,
Night Scene Portrait, Fireworks, Food, Text, Collection, For eBay, Backlight, Anti Shake, High
Sensitivity, Monochrome, Retro (sepia), Twilight, Layout, Layout2, Auto Framing, Old Photo,
Business Card and Documents, White Board, Silent, Short Movie, Past Movie, For YouTube, Voice
Recording, and Register (custom build your own BS mode)
When taking a shot of a business card, document, whiteboard, or similarly shaped object from an angle, it
can cause the subject to appear angularly distorted. Business card/Document and White board/etc. modes
automatically correct the shape of rectangular objects to make them appear like the camera was positioned
directly in front of them.
Here is a screen showing the framing Grid display. You activated this via the
record menu. This is a helpful framing guide to ensure you get level shots.
The EX-S880 can record high quality motion video at 848x480 (UHQ Wide, HQ Wide), 640x480 (UHQ, HQ,
Normal), 320x240 (LP) with sound. The length is only limited by the capacity of your memory card and the
life of your battery (maximum size of 4GB). The zoom can not be used while recording, but can be preset
before. Motion video clips are encoded in H.264/AVC MOV format.
The EX-S880 can also be used like an audio recorder. Approx. 25 minutes can be
recorded using the internal memory. When using optional memory card
the length is limited only by available memory, file size is 5.5KB per second.
Standard Windows WAVE/ADPCM ".WAV" format.
