TOKYO, August 8, 2006 — Casio Computer Co., Ltd.,
announced today the release of the EXILIM®
Card EX-S770. This latest addition to the stylish EXILIM
digital camera series is a powerful digital camera packed
with advanced functions.
The attractive EX-S770 shoots 7.2-megapixel still images
and records high-quality movies in MPEG-4 format. In addition,
it features Casio’s Super Bright 2.8-inch wide-screen
LCD, but still retains the ultra-slim card size of its predecessors.
Its impressive wide-screen display employs a 230,000-pixel
LCD that clearly displays images and information down to
the smallest detail, and boasts a maximum brightness of
around 1100cd/m2—more than bright enough to see outdoors
on a sunny day. Casio has also added new functions to make
the most of the EX-S770’s new wide screen.
The high-quality stainless steel body of the EX-S770 is
the epitome of design elegance and ensures ease of operation
as well, while maintaining all the slimness and beauty the
EXILIM Card line is renowned for. The EXILIM Card EX-S770
is available in three exciting colors: premium silver, blazing
red, and graphite blue.

| •
Wide-aspect movies |
 |
| In
addition to high-quality, VGA-size movies in
MPEG-4 format, the EX-S770 can record 16:9 aspect
ratio movies compatible with wide-screen TVs,
which are growing in popularity. The camera
records impressive movies with a simple press
of the movie button. There is no need to change
modes. It also features an electronic anti-shake
function that delivers beautiful movies by minimizing
blur from shaky hands. |
 |
| •
Data Storage function |
 |
| The
included Data Transport software enables computer
data — including business documents, e-mail,
and Web pages — to be automatically converted
to JPEG format and transferred to the camera.
For instance, tourist attractions and maps that
users have looked up on the internet can be
viewed on the camera's LCD, eliminating the
need to carry around a guidebook. The camera
also includes PHOTO TRANSPORT for transferring
stored photos in a PC to the camera. |
