Need increased Exposure Value (to illuminate underexposed subjects), enhanced flesh tones or hard sharpness in your video? Confused about what that even means? Exilims now come with up to 10 Video Best Shot settings, in addition to 43 Photo Best Shot settings, depending on camera model. Select the sample scene that resembles the type of video clip you’re lining up and the camera automatically configures to take the perfect video. Settings include: Silent, Short Video, Portrait, Voice Recording, Scenery, Backlight, Night Scene, High Sensitivity, Past Video and Fireworks. Powered by MPEG-4 H.264 technology, Best Shot Mode will yield easily editable and compelling videos shot at the correct resolution and file size with pristine clarity. Some models can even stream your clips directly to YouTube. Engage your inner film director — with a little help from an Exilim!

Record snap videos up to 1.5 times longer than standard MPEG-4 with the same memory capacity and picture quality. This rendition of MPEG-4 video compression technology offers pure, vivid video in much smaller file sizes, so you can stretch your gigabytes and dollars even further. Since it provides 30 frames per second at 640 x 480 and reduces white speck noise in playback, H.264 technology delivers superior quality video that can be easily viewed on most video-sharing websites, and, when combined with a wide video-shooting function (16:9 ratio on many Exilims), plays true to your plasma or LCD television, regardless of size. The future of video is in your Exilim.

Shoot a high-quality MPEG-4 video as easily as a snapshot. Unlike many other digital cameras that require a user to use both hands to select a shooting mode, the Casio Exilim switches you from a photo to video platform quickly and in the space of two fingers. Without changing any dials or modes, you can activate the One-Touch Video Button with your thumb even in the midst of pressing the shutter button with your index finger. Lights, camera, instant video action!

Think you can’t film the past? Think again! In this mode, the camera is constantly making recordings: When you press the shutter release, the past 5 seconds will already have been saved and added to your current recording.

Steady now! Video Stabilization digitally processes your video footage while recording to help correct the effects of hand movement. Process stabilization also occurs during playback to ensure quality videos at every stage.

Enjoy a truly cinematic experience with your digital camera: This function allows you to shoot films in the 16:9 widescreen format with 848 x 480 pixels. This way you can watch your videos in full widescreen format on a plasma or LCD television.
