Photo editing and online photo management have reached a new level with Casio’s stunning new digital camera called Tryx. The camera is designed to arm amateurs with advanced technology that turns photography and photo editing into a child’s play.
At the same time, the camera is highly friendly with social networking websites. Some of the keen observers of photography believe Casio Tryx represents the future of digital photo art.
Innovative Design and Advanced Specs
The camera design is path-breaking in its own right. The camera can rotate 360 degrees to enable perfect photography from any angle. It can serve as its own tripod, it can even be hung flat from a wall when not in use, or spun around for self-portraits. It is a 12.1 megapixel still camera with a three inch LCD back-lit touch screen. It can shoot 1080p30 videos in full HD and includes slow motion video option.
The digicam includes UI enhancements to aid the process of self-portraits and videos. It has a built-in self-timer which can be dragged down on the display touch screen, and it will start on its own. Alternatively, the user can simply wave his hand in a specific corner of the frame to activate the timer. It has options for slide panorama shooting and includes a multi-frame super resolution 2x Zoom. Thickness of the camera is 0.59 inches when closed.
Ideal for the Facebook Generation
The camera has been designed keeping in mind the photographic needs of the social networking generation. It offers Social Network Direct Connect via Casion Connection, which enables immediate photo upload to social media websites. For the Internet-friendly people, the company is offering a free online service called the “Imaging Square” that will help the users transform their images into “digital art work” without needing any special software or photo editing expertise.
This online facility will help the user to create multiple “virtual painting” effects with pseudo HDR (High Dynamic Range) Art. HDR allows the user to click multiple pictures at once when the shutter is pressed. The camera automatically combines the multiple images to create the best possible picture. The final results are spectacular, with improved lighting, richer colors, and more realistic, painting-like pictures. The Imaging Square service will enable the user to edit, store and exhibit his digital art creations.
Automatic In-built Photo Editing Option
The unique aspect of this camera is its ability to add imaginative effects to photographs without the need of a personal computer or the Internet. The camera can automatically convert ordinary pictures into works of art just with the press of a button. The Tryx includes HD video filming option as well. It provides motion sensor technology to trigger timed shots for self-portraits.
For those who are comfortable with online photo editing, there is an opportunity for endless creativity with photos. The online “Imaging Square” service from Casio uses an image processor that is art algorithms to create virtual paintings digitally.
Probably the best part of the accompanying package is that the user does not need to be a photo editing expert or well-versed with any photo editor software. It is the common man’s PhotoShop, and with spectacular results.
