Casio EX-Z200 Review

(Note: Please excuse the quality of some screen captures, the EX-Z200 does not have video out when in record mode, so we either had to photograph the LCD or take them from the user's manual.)

Casio has added 3 auto shutter modes to several of their new model cameras. These modes allow the camera to automatically take pictures at specific times without you having to press the shutter release. The first mode will determine when the camera and the subject are still so that there will be no blurring or camera shake. The second mode will take a picture as you follow your subject. The camera will wait until the subject is in focus no matter how blurred the background is. The third mode will automatically take a picture when the camera determines that the subject or subjects are smiling, whether you are ready or not, making sure you never miss a smile.
