Casio Releases Compact EXILIM Camera with Hybrid-GPS
World’s First Camera Combining GPS with Motion-Sensor Driven
Autonomic Positioning
Ideal for Planning, Mapping and Making Travel Memories
Displays User’s Location and Photos Taken on a Map
Norderstedt, September 20, 2010 — Casio Europe GmbH and its parent company, Casio
Computer Co., Ltd., announced today the release of a new model in its EXILIM Hi-Zoom lineup of
compact digital cameras with a high-power optical zoom lens—the EX-H20G. A digital camera
perfect for traveling, the EX-H20G employs Casio’s unique Hybrid-GPS system, which can track a
user’s position, even while indoors, against map data stored in the camera’s internal memory. This
enables the camera to display the user’s location and the photos and movies taken at any place
on the map on the screen.
The EX-H20G offers exciting new ways to use a digital camera. It is equipped with a Hybrid-GPS
system that combines a GPS engine with autonomic positioning made possible by a motion sensor,
and runs on Casio’s original low power consumption technology. The EX-H20G is also the first
digital camera capable of tracking a user’s position while indoors. This enables users to take a
photo with position information no matter where they are. In addition to these features, the camera
is pre-loaded with world atlas data and information on about 10,000 sightseeing photo spots
around the globe. The camera can display the user’s location and the photos and movies taken on
the map on the screen.
These functions can dramatically change how people use their digital camera when travelling. The
EX-H20G allows users to plan travel while viewing destinations on the on-screen map before
departing, and then to confirm their present location, planned destinations, photo locations, photo
angles, and route traveled on the map during their trip. After returning home, using computer
applications that offer location data such as Picasa and Google Earth, where they and their friends
can vividly imagine their travel by making the connection with the locations visited and photos. By
integrating camera and map as well as location data and photos, this camera creates a whole new
way to enjoy traveling.
Equipped with the new EXILIM Engine HS, the EX-H20G features all of the essential capabilities
expected from a camera. When used with Casio’s Single Frame SR Zoom function, the wide-angle
24mm optical 10X zoom lens actually offers a 15X zoom range that maintains the image quality
needed for 14.1-megapixel high-resolution photography. This represents 1.5 times the range of
