Casio EX-Z40 Review



Playback Modes
(Note: Please excuse the poor quality of these screen captures but the EX-Z40 does not have a video out feature so we had to photograph them.)
Flipping the PLAY - REC switch to the PLAY position brings up the image last captured.
Pressing the 4-way controller left or right scrolls through the stored images.
Pressing the DISP button enables the display of all of the exposure data: Shutter
speed, aperture, ISO value, Best Shot, Flash mode, White Balance and Metering option
as well as the histogram.
Pressing the MENU button in PLAY mode brings up this screen. From here you can start
an automated Slideshow, display the calendar, copy Favorite pictures to the FAVORITES
folder in internal memory, set DPOF printing information, Protect image(s) from
deletion, Rotate portrait mode images, Resize image to 1280x960 or 640x480 for web use
or email, Trim (crop) images, turn the Alarm on or off and Copy images
from internal 10MB memory to SD card or vice-versa.
The playback image can be magnified up to 4x in four steps when you press
the Zoom Telephoto button. You can scroll around inside of the enlarged
image using the 4-way controller. Pressing the Zoom Wide angle button will
shrink it back down again.
Here you can see the playback of a movie, which is saved in .AVI format. It
gives you "VCR" like buttons to control Rewind, Play, Fast-Foward, and Stop.
Audio memos up to 30 secs. can be recorded and attached to still images.
You can also play back your audio-only clips. The
sound will be heard through the camera's built in speaker.
If you shot your picture at the highest resolution and need it for email or web
use then select the Resize option and create a 1280 x 960 or 640 x 480 size image.
The Trimming feature allows you to crop photos in the camera.
Create HTML-based photo albums.
You can select from a variety of page styles and background colors and then the camera
