Picture Quality / Size Options (7.0)
One of the upgrades with the V8 is the increased resolution from the 7.2-megapixel V7. The Exilim V8 now has an 8.1 megapixel CCD that produces 3264 x 2448 at its highest resolution.

In addition to the wide setting, the Casio EX-V8 can capture still images at the standard 3:2 aspect ratio proportion of the same resolution. Other sizes include 2816 x 2112, 2304 x 1728, 1600 x 1200, and the smallest resolution,640 x 480, suited for the Web. Users can also adjust the quality settings between Normal, Fine, and Economy. Most users should stick to Normal or the highest Fine compression, and save the Economy resolution if posting to the Web or trying to save memory space.
Picture Effects Mode (8.0)
Users can control picture effects before or after capture. A number of options are available before users even hit the shutter. These pre-capture choices allow users to shoot with live preview, including dynamic range (+2, +1) and color filters (Black-and-White, Sepia, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Purple).
In post-capture Playback mode, the picture effects modes allow users to change dynamic range, brightness, image rotation, trimming, and audio dubbing after the picture has been taken. The camera offers rather ineffective Keystone and Color Correction options, two post-capture functions that often display “Cannot Correct Image” warnings.
Users can correct sharpness, saturation, and contrast after photos have been captured. These functions include a live preview so users can see how images will be altered before applying the effect. The V8 also includes a Portrait refiner that reduces noise grain in two-stop increments.
Overall, the Casio Exilim camera gives users a good number of options to bypass computer editing for effective in-camera fixes.
