And that is it. We’ll get our hands on this to check usability…
03:34 PMJG Mason said:
While this tech is impressive, it remains to be seen if consumers can figure this out. Heck most of us can’t figure out how to turn the flash off (Doug?)

Now they’ve put a movie of a young girl on the moon, who walks up to Armstrong, supposedly and holds his hand. Nice trick. Very slick stuff.
03:30 PMJG Mason said:
Now, they’ve done a “paste into” so the moving pic of the kid appears into the car…
03:29 PMJG Mason said:
Doug says we should note the backgrounds are all pre-composed jobs, not a photo, it seems.
03:28 PMJG Mason said:
rumor: the guy standing next to me says the assistant on stage handling the camera was Mr. K’s son.
03:28 PMJG Mason said:
The time to compose this image, cut out the subject and drop into a different background was amazingly quick.
03:27 PMJG Mason said:
As a photoshop guy, I say the background is perfectly cut out, no jagged edges, no weirdness around the hair… looks really good.

Now he’s got an assistant to photo, having her give a gift box to someone. Mr. K is going to capture the moving image. He took the moving image and then took a shot of the background while the software will cut out the background. He combines the moving image onto another unrelated birthday card image.

Mr. Kashio back on stage. Talking about changing photography. He is keen on consumers making composite moving images. Combining a camera with photo-enhancing software to give consumers the best image possible, all in one. No knowledge of Photoshop needed.

Now taking gems from F1 and FH20, into Exlim sized camera, FS10, 30 frames per second.
03:17 PMJG Mason said:
Side note: last year, I was at this conference and it was no where near as packed as this place is right now. Standing room only. Casio must be doing something right.
03:16 PMJG Mason said:
Same will apply to night shots: captures a number of images and renders a sharp, clear image. Hot.
03:15 PMJG Mason said:
Moving on to burst mode that will render sharp images from multiple shots. Great for long distance shots.
03:15 PMJG Mason said:
Camera goes into slow motion mode, allowing you to pick the shot. Looks cool.
03:14 PMJG Mason said:
William Heuer, vp of digital imaging is now on the stage, telling us how we stink as photo togs. We miss shots. Casio looks to build on their pre-cog like 60 fps capture and select the moment they desire.
03:13 PMJG Mason said:
Learn Japanese: “high speedo” must mean high speed. I believe that works in Spanish as well…

03:12 PMJG Mason said:
Hi speed tech will be packed into smaller and smaller cameras. High speed burst cameras will create a new photography culture, he says.
03:10 PMJG Mason said:
As Mr. K speaks in Japanese, his translator relates the evolution of the Casio camera. From built-in monitors backing 1995, to thin cameras in 2002, and high speed tech last year.

We are here live, now the founder and CEO is taking the stage, Kazuo Kashio.
