As the old saying goes: Young Tom just boiling, it is better to pay. In fact, no matter what problems in life, “backing” is the fundamental solution to the problem. However, although the reason is simple, it seems to be really hard for them to do.

Since January 2008, it will be a user to us that the Casio Shot Problem, the issue even once attracted wide attention, however, to date, this event seems to have subsided.

User photo User photo User photo User photo Closer look will find pictures of the above, this group has a distinctive feature of the photo: photo white, with horizontal stripes, such as overexposure. However, say users, is not that they intended to be used PS Software Do come out, more than shots, but due to customs. But with different models of Casio camera shoot out!

09 in the first half, we have received complaints from 48 Casio cameras, 44 of which were reflected in the day or light conditions better photographs appear overexposed, photos white, with horizontal stripes and other issues , while shooting at night or use the video feature Shiyou no such problem. The user reflect the situation involving Casio S Series and Z Series, including the EX-S500, EX-S600, EX-S770, EX-Z700, EX-Z600, EX-Z500, EX-Z1200, EX-Z8, EX-Z60, etc. multiple models.

Though is Digital Cameras Industry newcomer, the Casio camera to thin fashion models, colorful, feature rich waiting for that, popular for many users is directed at Casio S-series and Z series cameras and the benefits of these features purchase price.

However, the users that they have the Casio camera for about two years after the use of the above problem occurs. As time passed over, need to pay 280 yuan repair the lens, but users of this cost is not so approved, because they check the Internet and found that the failure of the machine without a few, and even set up many users the activist group, collectively denounce the enterprise, users believe that this may be the imperfect quality, the user should not defect to pay for the enterprise.

Case 1: the camera works second time into a “surgical” user confidence dropped

Mr. Wen in Hunan in 2006 purchased a Casio EX-Z500 camera, using more than two years later, only to find out the photo shoot during the day a gray and have horizontal stripes, similar to the severe over-exposure, even in the dark light environment, the picture is also evident diffraction stripes.

(User photos) He called Casio sale, and in accordance with the requirement to send a Casio camera detection Shanghai service station. As the camera passed over, need to pay 280 yuan repair the lens, the manufacturers promised to repair the camera and lens warranty to 6 months.

Originally thought that the problem has been resolved, can not think six months is not the same problem from happening again. Mr Man angrily complained again, hoping to one vendor saying.

Complaint provided by Mr Wen picture Mr. Wen

received complaints, we promptly forwarded his complaint handling Casio, Casio extended warranty for six months based on previous commitments to the free maintenance deal. Although the problem has been resolved, but Mr Wen said that after two overhaul, he has confidence in the quality of Casio cameras greatly reduced. Moreover, the Internet has the same problem many users complained that this allowed him to lose confidence.

Guo Guangdong Panyu bought in March 2007 Casio EX-Z700 camera half a year, also appeared the same problem. At that time, he and his friends to travel, find out the photo shoot went so far as horizontal stripes of white one. Collect all the beautiful scenery along the way but could not beat down, which interest him gone. As usually rarely use, plus there is no human impact or water damage, he came out of the Casio asked to pay 580 yuan or 280 yuan to replace the lens shutter component replacement program does not recognize.

Follow-up: Complaints against users reflect the problems, I call the Casio Customer to discuss the proposed center Wu restricted the oxygen, but the company No. 027 Engineering staff has a variety of excuses not to the author and Mr. Wu telephone. After that, I try to contact the head of Mr. Jiang Casio sale.

The recent problem of increased consumer complaints, Mr. Jiang that there are two reasons: First, the two series of cameras, Casio sales particularly, the probability of major problems, it is also normal volume of complaints, two individual user’s camera problems, due to excessive insurance Pay service may be a solution for enterprise users are not satisfied, then the web encouraging lead users to a large number of threads. For EX Series

variety of camera photos appear pale, with horizontal stripes, similar to the phenomenon of over-exposure, the Department explained that the camera Casio damage sale there are two possibilities: First, the lens shutter is broken firmware (representing major phenomena), and second, the lens cable is broken.

Mr. Jiang said that at present only three in the country designated Casio repair center, namely Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, repair price is uniform (see the specific Casio website http://www.casio.com. cn / support / dc / service /? locID = 194). Other Casio designated receiving point after receiving the user’s camera, but also focus on the camera to the three service center for repairs, if found to overhaul individual receivers unauthorized user cameras, Casio will be dealt with severely. Mr. Jiang also suggested that the final user is best to send to the Casio camera repair center for detection of three repair techniques, but to avoid customs and arbitrary charges.

Comments: Complaints from the user point of view, Casio S Series and Z Series camera variety of complaints by users do some high probability, which is obviously not the product Sell Large amount of complaints, the more simple, maybe users want these companies to the exact quality of the camera lens and the issue of why a claim frequency distribution.

Not long ago, a “complaint Starbucks coffee machine Tsann Kuen global recall of 700,000 units,” the news was widely disseminated, Starbucks, why should the global recall of 700,000 units Tsann Kuen coffee machine, simply because seven years in the U.S. received more than 170 cases of consumer complaints. However, we only Since 2008, I received various complaints about the Casio nearly 170. Casio is a known “to provide customers with surprise and moving beyond to meet” international famous enterprises, it is clear

Development of Digital Photography

November 6th, 2010 Casio Digital Camera Expert Posted in Articles No Comments »

The era of Digital Photography commenced when two scientists ( George Smith and Willard Boyle) invented the device called ‘Charged Coupled Device’ (CCD) in 1969. Since then the CCD has been widely used in the production of modern digital cameras. It is the heart of all digital cameras and now called the image sensor. These two scientist, never thought that CCD will be extensively used in digital cameras, that time they invented the CCD to develop the first solid-state video camera (in 1970) which could give sharp images which was enough to be used in television broadcast (1975).the two scientists didn’t plan it this way.

1.Introduction of First Digital Camera – Mavica

Since the above invention world had to wait around five years to see breakthrough in digital photography. In year 1981, world renown Sony Corporation introduced the first prototype digital camera which was called Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera). This new camera called Mavica was an electronically operated still camera with two CCD chips, It recorded images using magnetic impulses on to a compact two-inch diameter still-video floppy disk. However the first digital cameras for mass market were available in mid nineties.

It could be hooked to a computer through a serial port cable. For example, the cameras which came out with such facilities were Apple Quick Take 100 camera (February 17, 1994) worked with a home computer via a serial cable. The other similar digital models were introduced to the market by Kodak (DC40 camera in March 28, 1995), Casio ( Casio QV-11with LCD monitor in late 1995), and Sony ( Cyber-Shot Digicam in 1996).

2. Digital Image Software and Printers

Although there were several manufacturers came out with different types of digital cameras, none was so popular as Kodaks DC40 digital camera which produced for mass markets. Later Microsoft and Kinkos both collaborated with Kodak to introduce the digital image-producing software workstations and corner shops. The consumers were able to use these software and corner outlets to develop photo CDs and photographs as well as adding digital images to the documents. Similarly, IBM worked with Kodak introducing the internet-based network image exchange. At the same time, Hewlett-Packard was the pioneering company to make the first color inkjet printers that helped consumers to print good quality images which was an impetus to the popularizing the digital photography.

3.True Digital Camera

In 1988, Fuji developed the true digital camera, DS-1P which could record images in the form of computerized file. Other unique feature of this camera was its internal memory chip with a capacity of 16 MB while using a battering to store. However, it was noted that this Fuji camera never marketed in the United States or not even in Japan. As such, we can reasonably assume that the first commercially produced digital camera was Logitech Fotoman (in 1990) which was also called as Dycam Model-1. This camera used a CCD sensor which stored images digitally and later cold be transferred to Personal Computer (PC).

The background or evolvement of digital photography stress that that the future is the digital photography. This is already proven as the recent market surveys indicate that in year 2006, approximately 35 billion images were printed or stored in Western Europe.

Ex Fc100 Review – An Overview of the Casio Ex Fc100 Camera

October 29th, 2010 Casio Digital Camera Expert Posted in Articles No Comments »



The Casio EX FC100 is one of the popular “Exilim” models introduced by the company recently. It seems that Casio is striving to pack more and more advanced technology in a progressively smaller package. This tiny “titan”, barely as big as a deck of average playing cards, has features and functions normally reserved for mega high end, professional quality models. We shall look at some of these features.

The EX FC100 has a 30 shots per second capacity of high-resolution 6.0-megapixel pictures. Even more impressive, it has the ability to save a maximum of 25 frames ahead of the instant that the shutter button is completely pressed.

So even for tardy photographers, that perfect moment in time will be preserved. The number of shots per second can be set at 30, 15, 10, 5, 3 or auto. You can also set the total number of shots in one burst at 30, 20, 10 or 5.

During a high-speed burst.the FC100 eliminates guesswork by automatically choosing the best shots, or if you so desire, combines them into one picture. This remarkable high speed burst feature allows photographers to easily create photos exactly how they want them to look. The manual “grunt” work of selecting images in gone!

The Casio EX Fc100 features a 5x Optical Zoom plus 4x Digital Zoom. The included shift stabilization, ensures gorgeous shots regardless of the power of the zoom. Frequently high zoom images are subject to blurring.

The 2.7 inch LCD is crystal clear, regardless of the lighting conditions. By pushing a button, users are able to watch the shot in slow motion via the LCD. Any part of a scene can be captured, and slowed to a crawl, by simply pressing the shutter at the appropriate instant!

In conclusion, Casio has done an amazing job of including high speed functions in a camera that retails for under 300.00! If you are a photographer of limited skills, the EX FC100 can make your finished products look like the work of a seasoned professional!

Seiko and Citizen Watches Reflect Japanese Watch Making

October 26th, 2010 Casio Digital Camera Expert Posted in Articles No Comments »



With over two dozen factories around the world the Citizen Watch Company has been producing quality precision watches and timepieces since the company was founded in 1930. The years have seen the company grow and expand into other technology products and became a major force in the digital liquid crystal display, microelectronics and optical devices markets.

 

The expertise the company gained through the introduction of quartz timepieces was significant to the tremendous growth in the production of televisions and high resolution digital projectors.

 

Since the founding of the company, over two hundred million watches have been produced. Though competing companies such as Casio have gained ground in the growing market for practical and rugged watches, the Citizen Watch Company lays claim to introducing the first line of shockproof watches as well as waterproof watches designed for the rigors of diving. Seeing a market for affordable and reliable timepieces that Citizen had, as part of its mission, the idea of offering quality watches that would be within reach of people of modest means. This goal was made possible in part by designing watches that were durable enough for everyday wear and less likely to break under conditions of average use.

 

In the years after World War Two, Japanese manufacturers saw great opportunity in the development of highly precise machine tools supporting everything from automobile production to the manufacture of aircraft.  Many Japanese companies incorporated the engineering philosophy of design for manufacturability. The guiding principle behind this philosophy was to integrate the design and manufacturing functions which in turn led to increased production efficiencies and increased levels of quality. These lessons were not lost on the growing Citizen Company and the result was the production of very precise watch components, greater reliability and ease of repair.

 

Seiko Watch HistorySince the end of World War Two, Japanese manufacturers have brought innovation, style and reliability to a wide range of products from cars, computers, cameras and a host of other hi-tech consumer goods. Competing on the world stage, Japan has earned its reputation for giving consumers good value. A shortage of physical space and few natural resources has driven the Japanese to become extremely efficient and focused on detail.  All of these attributes can be found in companies like Seiko which has become the first name in Japanese timekeeping technology, with a reputation that predates the war by over four decades.

 

Founded in the late nineteenth century, Seiko was a major of clocks and watches, producing its first wrist watches beginning in nineteen thirteen, with the brand name of Seiko first appearing on timepieces in nineteen twenty four. The Seiko brand name gained worldwide notoriety as a result of the nineteen sixty four Olympic Games held in Tokyo. Seiko earned the honor as official timekeeper during the games which were the first Olympic competition to be widely broadcast on television and Seiko has continued its relationship with the Olympic Games as well as providing trusted timekeeping technologies to other major sporting events including the World Cup.

 

Seiko has developed a reputation for innovative designs and features not found on other brands of wrist watches. Taking full technological advantage of quartz and microelectronics, Seiko introduced the first digital watch that featured a multifunction design not found on other digital wrist watches. Seiko became known for its ultra-accurate self winding watches that incorporated integrated circuit technology. Further use of microelectronics can be seen in the worlds first television watch which was introduced by Seiko in nineteen eighty two. In nineteen eighty four Seiko produced a watch that featured with functions that mimicked those found in early personal computers. In addition to watches and other timepieces, Seiko has expanded its product offerings to include precision optics.
