Frequently Asked Questions — Casio EX-G1

Is the Casio Exilim EX-G1 waterproof or just weather resistant?+
The specifications list the body design as 'Weather Sealed,' meaning it carries some level of environmental protection. The exact ingress protection rating is not detailed in the available specifications, so buyers should verify the specific water resistance depth or rating before use in submersion scenarios.
What memory cards does the EX-G1 accept?+
The EX-G1 supports microSD and microSDHC cards. These are widely available and affordable formats. Note that microSDXC is not listed in the supported storage media, so card compatibility should be confirmed before purchasing higher-capacity cards.
What is the maximum photo resolution the EX-G1 can produce?+
The camera captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4000x3000 pixels, which corresponds to its 12.1MP sensor on a 1/2.3-inch sensor platform. This is sufficient for standard prints and digital sharing.
Can the EX-G1 record HD video?+
Yes, the EX-G1 supports video recording up to 720p at a maximum frame rate of 30fps. It does not support 1080p or higher video resolutions based on the available specifications.
How does the image stabilization on the EX-G1 work?+
The EX-G1 uses digital electronic image stabilization, which processes the image in-camera to compensate for camera shake. This differs from optical image stabilization systems, which physically move lens elements, and is generally considered less effective in very low light or at longer focal lengths.
How does the EX-G1 connect to a computer for transferring images?+
The EX-G1 includes USB connectivity for transferring photos and video to a computer. Alternatively, images stored on microSD or microSDHC cards can be transferred using a card reader.
