The Casio Exilim EX-Z600 The EX-Z600 includes the latest version of the EXILIM Engine, featuring the Anti Shake DSP, which along with the Auto Macro and Quick Shutter functions, considerably reduces the incidence of blurred photos due to moving subjects or shaky hands. There is also a Rapid Flash function, which enables three consecutive high speed flash photos in only one second, allowing you to completely capture the moment without losing precious seconds between shots.
The EX-Z600 incorporates 33 Best Shot modes which are accessible with the BEST SHOT Button, allowing convenient one-touch access all of the scene selections, including Anti Shake, Old Photo which digitally revives faded colors and automatically adjusts for obliquity, even when photos are shot while still in the album, and the unique eBay Mode which allows users to take photos at a size that is optimized for display on eBay, and also includes Auto Macro for capturing images of small items such as jewelry, tags, etc.
