The Casio Z120 has an internal flash memory of
8.3 MB and Casio claims that it can take approximately
170 shots on a single battery charge (CIPA standards).
It has flexible exposure control with Program
AE, Aperture priority AE, Shutter speed priority
AE, Manual AE and 32 Scene Modes.
A new anti shake DSP (digital signal processor)
allows the use of faster shutter speeds to reduce
the chance of image blur due to camera or subject
movement (Editor: do not confuse with real lens
or CCD anti-shake technology -- this is basically
a scene mode that bumps sensitivity to ISO 800
so a faster shutter speed can be used). There
is a 2 in. LCD monitor (84,960 pixels), a maximum
aperture value of F2.8, and shutter speed range
of 1/8 to 1/1600 sec. in Auto mode.
