Casio EX-FH100

Manual Controls

The FH100 offers manual aperture and shutter control, though the aperture settings are only a high-low toggle rather than a range of available settings. The shutter speed controls, on the other hand, are at standard increments across the full 1 second to 1/2000 second range.

Focus

You can set autofocus to auto, macro, infinity or manual mode. The autofocus area can be a single central spot, a freely chosen point on the screen, or you can use focus tracking for a moving subject.

ISO

The ISO range, settable for stills and video, is ISO 100-3200.

White Balance

In addition to auto white balance, the FH100 offers presets for daylight, overcast, shade, daylight white fluorescents, daylight fluorescents, and tungsten lighting. It's also possible to take a manual white balance reading.

Metering

Metering options are multi-pattern, center-weighted and spot. Exposure compensation is available in a ±2 EV range, in 1/3 EV increments.

Shutter Speed

When  shooting in auto or aperture priority mode, shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/2000 second are available. In shutter priority or full manual mode, the longest exposure setting stretches to 30 seconds. When shooting in high-speed continuous mode, of course, the game changes dramatically: maximum shutter speed here is a breathtaking 1/40000 second.

Aperture

The aperture range at the widest angle setting is f/3.2 to f/7.5.

Image Stabilization

The FH100 uses sensor-shift image stabilization.

Picture Quality & Size Options

Maximum resolution for the FH100's CMOS sensor is 10.1 megapixels (3648 x 2736). There are plenty of additional options, though: 3:2 (3648 x 2432), 16:9 (3648 x 2048), 9M (3456 x 2592), 7M (3072 x 2304), 4M (2304 x 1728), 2M (1600 x 1200) and VGA (640 x 480). RAW shooting is also supported.
