Auto Mode
This is perhaps the best mode on the camera, since it doesn’t require any digging in menus or scrolling through options. Users must simply turn the mode dial to the red automatic mode, then utilize the Casio Exilim Z750 fully automated point-and-shoot interface.Transitions or alterations in focus and exposure are rendered fairly rapidly with brief visible lag. Overall, the point-and-shoot reliability of the camera is adequate but best expressed in its small frame and ease in portability
Drive / Burst Mode
The burst mode is known as the Normal Speed Continuous mode in the Z750. It can be adjusted with the button above the EX button, which has the common Burst graphic printed above it. The camera shoots about 2 frames per second and should shoot to the capacity of the memory. The pre-production model available at the Photo Marketing Show shot 6 pictures before stopping to write to the card.
Playback Mode
The Playback mode is easy to find, as it has its own green Playback button at the top of the back of the camera. Pictures can be viewed individually and zoomed in up to 8x. They can also be resized, trimmed, or rotated. Photos can be displayed in 9-image index frames, chronological calendars, or slide shows. Movies can also be reviewed and even edited. Finally, there is a Motion Print option that turns movies into a printed flipbook.
Movie Mode
The Casio Exilim Z750 has a movie mode with extensive options. It can record 30 frames a second in 640 x 480 resolution or 15 frames per second in 320 x 240 resolution. Both options record monaural audio simultaneously. The different types of movie modes can be found on the mode dial: Movie Best Shot, Short Movie, and Past Movie. The Short Movie records eight seconds. The Past Movie mode is one of the defining features of the Z750. The Past Movie mode captures video five seconds prior to the first push of the shutter release button and continues recording until the button is pushed again. With this option, users never have to worry about missing a surprise moment. The past movie feature begins its continuous writing and rewriting once the user switches the mode dial to Past Movie.
Custom Image Presets
The Casio Exilim EX-Z750 has a long list of scene modes, which can be found in the Best Shot mode: Portrait, Scenery, Portrait with Scenery, Children, Sports, Candlelight Portrait, Party, Pet, Flower, Natural Green, Soft Flowing Water, Splashing Water, Sundown, Night Scene, Night Scene Portrait, Fireworks, Food, Text, Collection, Backlight, Anti-Shake, Pastel Illustration, Cross, Monochrome, Retro, Twilight, ID Photo, Business Cards and Documents, and White Board. Each scene has an example of a shot with a brief explanation of when it should be used, which is very helpful. The Pastel Illustration mode highlights outlines of objects and transforms pictures into watercolor-like graphics. This mode is best used with architectural scenery. The Cross mode adds crosses to lights. The Monochrome scene is another name for the black & white mode, as the Retro scene is another term for Sepia. None-the-less this is as extensive an offering of presets as i have seen and should apply to nearly every shooting situation and office scenario that emerges.
