Casio EX-Z1000 Exposure

Flash

Manufacturer's Test

How far a digicam's built-in flash can throw light can often be a lot less than you need. These test shots show what that flash can do at the manufacturer-specified camera settings within the range the company claims for the camera.

Manufacturer-Specified Flash Range
Wide Angle	Telephoto
11.8 feet	6.2 feet

The built-in flash performs to the manufacturer's specifications, evenly illuminating the scene as close as 6.2 feet at telephoto and as far as 11.8 feet at wide angle.

To see the full set of our test images, with explanations of what to look for in them, see the Casio EXILIM Z1000 Sample Pictures page. For a complete listing of all our test and "gallery" shots, go to the Thumbnails page.

Recommended Software: Rescue your Photos!

Just as important as an extra memory card is a tool to rescue your images when one of your cards fails at some point in the future. We get a lot of email from readers who've lost photos due to a corrupted memory card. Memory card corruption can happen with any card type and any camera manufacturer, nobody's immune. A lot of "lost" images can be recovered with an inexpensive, easy to use piece of software though. Given the amount of email I've gotten on the topic, I now include this paragraph in all my digital camera reviews. The program you need is called PhotoRescue, by DataRescue SA. Read our review of it if you'd like, but download the program now, so you'll have it. It doesn't cost a penny until you need it, and even then it's only $29, with a money back guarantee. So download PhotoRescue for Windows or PhotoRescue for Mac while you're thinking of it. (While you're at it, download the PDF manual and quickstart guide as well.) Stash the file in a safe place and it'll be there when you need it. Trust me, needing this is not a matter of if, but when... PhotoRescue is about the best and easiest tool for recovering digital photos I've seen. (Disclosure: IR gets a small commission from sales of the product, but I'd highly recommend the program even if we didn't.) OK, now back to our regularly scheduled review...
