Casio Releases EXILIM 'Split Camera' That Enables All-New Ways of Shooting Photos


(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 27 August 2014 Release date- 26082014 - TOKYO - Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of the EXILIM EX-FR10 freestyle digital camera.

This latest addition to the EXILIM family of digital cameras boasts a modular construction that can be separated easily into two parts-the camera unit and the LCD-equipped controller-making it possible to take various kinds of interesting shots including self-portraits and group shots.



In 2011, Casio introduced the EXILIM TR line of cameras, which feature a 360-degree rotating frame that swivels around the lens body and a 270-degree rotating display, making it possible to take photos from a variety of different angles. Designed specifically for taking self-portraits and with features like Make-up Mode that enhance the subject's appearance, EXILIM TR cameras have created a powerful buzz particularly among young women in markets such as China.

The new EXILIM EX-FR10 advances the Element Design approach used with EXILIM TR series of cameras, with a newly designed camera unit that easily separates from the controller body at the press of a button. The innovative modular design enables 'freestyle shooting' of photos without the constraints of holding the camera and pressing the shutter. The detached camera unit can be easily fixed anywhere using one of several attachments and allowing users to shoot photos from all-new angles.


The camera's interval shooting function enables automatic hands-free shooting of photos and videos, enabling the user to become the subject of her own photo. The controller connects wirelessly to the camera unit via low-energy-consumption Bluetooth*1 technology. Both the camera unit and controller are dust-proof, splash-proof, and durable enough to withstand a drop of two meters, so users can have fun capturing a wide range of images.

The Highlight Photo function automatically generates a single collage photo from recommended still images, just by specifying the shooting date and layout, while the Highlight Movie function automatically generates a single short movie from multiple still images and/or videos, just by specifying a shooting date. Photos and movies, including those created with the Highlight Photo and Highlight Movie functions, can be transferred via Wi-Fi*2 to a smartphone or tablet.*3 *2 Wi-Fi is a registered trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.

*3 Requires installation of EXILIM Link app on the smartphone or tablet.
