The Cam is, if it is not in the high-speed mode, very fast. So if a fixed cam seeks to eg scan his children making a good choice here. Who knows Casio, can be found quickly in the menu structures and cope knows the preprogrammed BS (Bestshoot) appreciate programs. Even if the action leaves everything in automatic mode, it makes amazing results. Face detection works perfectly, also the intended target of the action will be tracked and constantly changes in the lighting conditions and the Focus to be readjusted. Despite all the automation you always have the option to configure everything manually.
In practical terms, the high-speed shooting modes, here are max. 60 Images recorded successively. It has the ability to take 60 pictures in 1 sec., Or to distribute the 60 images for several seconds, which makes then less frames per second. This also works with flash, but the flash creates only 7 frames per second and a maximum of everything that goes beyond is done with an LED flash.
Also very good is the mode in which one sees everything on the screen in slow motion what happens in front of the lens. It has, so to speak to press all the time around the trigger. Again, the images that have been taken before the shutter button is not deleted immediately, but the Cam queries in the following dialog whether you want to save one or more images.
Take the opportunity in various formats Movies round off the Cam. So I have taken as my dwarf bearded dragons in the hunting of locusts with 600 frames per second, while preserving very beautiful slow motion shots.
Supplied with all necessary accessories and even a wired remote control. Negative I noticed that one in red, the labeling and the pictograms on the setting wheels partly on a black background. If you can not read well in the dark. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the Cam and can recommend it.

* High-speed zoom support during FHD movie recording.
After downloading the firmware must be copied to the root directory of the camera's memory or a memory card. A key combination (see the manual) starts updating the firmware.
Casio would like to emphasize that the power supply during the update process must not be interrupted under any circumstances. The batteries should therefore be fully charged.
