Casio Exilim EX-Z850

Picture Quality / Size Options
Still images can be captured in several sizes on the Z850. At 3264 x 2488 pixels in the Fine, Normal and Economy sizes, file sizes are 4.8 MB, 3.18 MB and 1.63 MB. Captured in the smallest size of 640 x 480 pixels in the Fine, Normal and Economy quality settings, file sizes are 360 KB, 240 KB and 120 KB.

In between these two extremes, users can also select options of 2816 x 2112, 2304 x 1728 and 1600 x 1200 in 4:3 aspect ratio, and 3264 x 2176 in 3:2 aspect ratio, optimized for 4 x 6-inch prints.

Picture Effects Mode
Casio was vague on this one. I could not find any picture effects in-camera, on the spec sheets or according to the Casio booth. Casio’s web page states that the EX-Z850 contains “Color enhancement / Color collection” but what that means or does is anyone’s guess.

Casio does include what might be considered picture effects as separate scene modes, though, with its Best Shot options like Pastel, Monochrome and Retro.
