The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z250 features a compact body that contains the combination of a 1/2.5"-type 9.1 megapixel image sensor and an Exilim-branded 4x optical zoom lens with a useful 28mm wide-angle. A 3.0-inch LCD display with 230,400 dot resolution offers the EX-Z250's only option for framing and reviewing images, as there's no optical viewfinder on this model. The Casio EX-Z250 also includes CCD-shift type mechanical image stabilization, useful for preventing blur from camera shake. ISO sensitivity ranges from a low of ISO 64 to a maximum of ISO 3,200 equivalent, so it should be possible to further fight off camera shake and subject motion blurring by boosting the sensitivity - albeit with increased image noise. Casio's Z250 employs a contrast-detection autofocus system operating off data streaming from the camera's image sensor and the EX-Z250 also includes face detection capability. Another interesting function is that the Casio Z250 offers a twelve step "makeup" function which processes subjects' faces to smooth the skin and correct for shadows on faces. The Casio EX-Z250 can also correct for under- or over-exposed areas in contrasty scenes. The Casio Exilim Z250 offers not just still photos, but video as well. Casio EX-Z250 movies are recorded in H.264 format using the AAC codec, making them suitable for playing on Apple's iPod and similar devices. For viewing images on a television, the Casio Z250 has audio / video output connectivity, while images can be transferred to a PC over a High-Speed USB connection. A rechargeable NP-40 Lithium Ion battery with charger is included with the Z250 and should yield 300 shots on a charge. Images are stored in 38.5MB of internal memory, as well as on SD, SDHC, MMC or MMCplus memory cards.
