Casio Exilim EX-FC100

ConclusionManual Control Options
The EX-FC100 doesn't have many manual controls apart from manual focus, and the option to customize the left and right key to control metering, self-timer or face detection.
Focus
Manual Focus
The manual focus can be enabled on this camera through the menu system, and is controlled with left and right on the four-way pad, and the camera enlarges the center of the frame to make focusing more accurate.
Auto Focus
The available modes are auto focus, macro, pan focus (for moving objects) and infinity. The auto focus area can also be set to spot, free or tracking.
ISO
The run of ISOs goes from 100 to 1600, with the ever popular Auto also included if you don't want to handle it manually.
White Balance
For white balance you can chose from auto, sunlight, cloud, shade, fluorescent N, fluorescent D, tungsten or manual.
Metering
The metering modes available are multi, center weighted and spot.
Shutter Speed
Apart from the ludicrous speeds afforded to the camera in its high-speed mode (as discussed above in the drive/burst mode section) the camera has an officially stated shutter speed range of 1/1000 to four seconds. The shutter speed, unfortunately, cannot be set manually.
Aperture
The lens is rated at f/3.6 wide to f/4.5 tele. This is pretty slow, but we'll have a better idea of what sort of aperture range you'll get in common shooting situations once we have a unit in house.
Image Stabilization
This camera has a sensor shift stabilizer, which will help with the rather slow lens.
Picture Quality / Size Options
The image resolutions available are: 3456x2592 (9MP), 3456x2304 (3:2), 3456x1944 (16:9), 2816x2112 (6MP), 2304x1728 (4MP), 1600x1200 (2MP) and 640x480 (VGA), and it can be set to fine, normal or economy image quality.
Picture Effects Mode
You can shoot with a number of color filters: black and white, sepia, red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, magenta and pink. You can also alter sharpness, saturation and contrast in five steps.
