EXILIM Pro EX-F1 - a high speed digital camera boasting the world’s fastest*
burst shooting performance
The EXILIM Pro EX-F1 incorporates a new high speed CMOS sensor and high speed
LSI processor. After building in 6.0 million effective pixels and a 12X optical
zoom, the developers focused on achieving a burst shooting speed capability that
was hitherto unheard of. Using the camera’s ultra-high speed burst shooting for
still images or its high speed movie recording mode, users can capture a split
second’s movement with greater detail than before, allowing them to catch each
decisive moment, and even motion that the human eye cannot ordinarily perceive.

cameras
Full resolution photography using 60 fps ultra-high speed burst mode captures
the crucial moment
Using the still image burst mode, users can shoot at an ultra fast 60 frames per
second. In burst mode, the frame rate can also be varied from between 1 and 60
frames per second while shooting. Up to 60 shots at can be taken at once, so 60
shots per second for one second, or 5 shots per second for 12 seconds, are
possible.
Don’t miss that crucial moment, Prerecord Still Images, using ultra-high speed
burst function
Users can record images not just at the instant they press the shutter button,
but before! Continuously recording at up to 60 images per second, a maximum of
60 images can be saved in the camera’s own buffer memory even before the shutter
button is depressed. Even if users press the shutter a little late, they will
still be able to catch that vital moment.
Slow Motion View function lets users view and capture that critical moment in
slow motion during still photography
Users can take photographs while, in the monitor, the momentary action that is
before their eyes is displayed in slow motion. It is just as if they have slowed
down the passing of time. Users can unhurriedly observe the motion of the
subject as they press the shutter, ensuring that they never miss that crucial
moment.
Rapid Flash function allows continuous shooting even in low light
It is possible while using flash to take up to 20 continuous shots at a speed of
up to 7 frames per second, so even in low light, no more missed shots. Also, the
internal LED light allows high speed burst shooting at between 10 and 60 frames
per second.
High speed movie recording at up to 1,200 fps
The EXILIM Pro EX-F1 can record high speed movie footage of motion too fast for
the human eye, for ultra slow motion playback. Users can select a recording
speed of 300 fps, 600 fps or 1,200 fps. There is also a Movie Button that lets
users quickly start movie recording without first switching from still image
mode.
Full High-Definition movies
The camera features Full High-Definition movie recording capability. Users can
record beautiful movies at a screen size of 1920x1080 pixels, at a rate of 60
fields per second. The camera can be connected to an HD compatible television
with a separately available HDMI cable to enjoy viewing movies.
