PRESS RELEASE June 24, 2002 CASIO INTRODUCES TWO NEW COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERAS WITH HIGH-RESOLUTION CCD AND 3X OPTICAL ZOOM Lightning Fast Shutter Release Time of Only 0.01 Seconds for Rapid Use!

	QV-R4 CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD. announces two new versatile and compact digital cameras that come packed with 3X optical zoom and a high-resolution primary color CCD. The new QV-R4 comes equipped with a 4.13 megapixel CCD, while the QV-R3 has a 3.35 megapixel CCD. The compact configuration of the high-performance QV-R4 and QV-R3 cameras make them perfect for recording those special moments whenever and wherever they happen. A totally new LSI system provides lightening-fast response of about 0.01 second, which means there is virtually no time loss between the point you press the shutter release and when the image is actually recorded. QV-R3   A simple, stylish stainless steel body provides both a high level of durability and a feel of quality. Modes are selected using a flat-profile dial, and all function keys are carefully positioned for easy, intuitive operation. Images can be stored on an SD memory card, and the camera also includes 11MB of built-in flash memory that allows recording even when a card is not loaded or when the memory card is full.

	Main Features • Release time lag of 0.01 second The release time lag from the point that the shutter release button is pressed until the image is recorded is about 0.01 second when focus lock is used. This means you get exactly the shot you want. • High-resolution primary color CCD in a compact configuration With the QV-R4, the latest in device miniaturization was employed to make it possible to pack a 4.13-megapixel primary color CCD into a compact body that measures a mere 90 x 59 x 31mm. The QV-R3 has a 3.34-megapixel CCD. This level of resolution makes it possible to capture all the nuances of subtle flesh tones and fine details of scenery shots, and primary color filtering ensures vivid colors every time. • Advanced 3X optical zoom lens Seven lenses in six groups, including an aspherical lens, provide advanced 3X optical zoom capabilities. This, combined with 3.2X digital zoom, provides a combined maximum zoom factor of 9.6X. • Best Shot Mode for instant setups Simply select the Best Shot scene that is like the one you want to record and light metering, exposure, saturation, and other settings are configured in an instant. Two new innovative features are "Coupling Shot" and "Pre-Shot". • Coupling Shot This feature makes it possible for two people to be included in the same image, even when they are the only two around. Person A records Person B on one side of the image. A transparent view of the first image remains on the monitor screen so Person B can use it to compose the other side and record Person A. Only the second image is stored in camera memory, showing both Person A and Person B. • Pre-Shot With this feature you can compose the background you want and record it. A transparent view of the background image remains on the monitor screen so you can ask someone to record you against the background, using the monitor screen image as a guide. Only the second image is stored in camera memory, showing you against the background you want. • Triple Self-timer The Triple Self-timer records three consecutive shots with a single shutter release button operation. This simplifies the recording of group shots that include the photographer because a single operation gives you a choice of three images from which you can select the one you want. • World Time and alarm features The World Time feature lets you keep track of the current time at home and in another time zone when traveling or for any other reason. It also eliminates the need to make troublesome clock settings whenever you travel to another time zone. You can set up to three alarm times and even have a specific image appear on the monitor screen as a reminder when an alarm time is reached. • Album function displays using HTML files The camera generates HTML files that make it possible to view recorded images on your computer screen in an easy-to-use album format. You can use the album to browse images and even print album pages.
