Color Accuracy (9.62)

The Casio EX-FC100 didn't do very well in terms of color accuracy, with the lowest score of the cameras we chose for comparison. Our test for color accuracy is based on shooting the X-Rite ColorChecker chart under 3000 lux illumination, then analyzing the resulting images using Imatest software, which tells us how far from the photos deviate from the actual color values.

The chart below shows how each camera recorded the colors in its most accurate color mode. The Casio doesn't have any color modes, so this is its default. While it handled greens and reds quite well, it really struggled with yellows and blues.

Color Modes (3.00)

Unusually, the Casio doesn't offer any color modes. Most cameras can be put into a Vibrant or Muted setting, which tweaks the colors and saturation a bit. The EX-FC100 makes no such options available.
