The new camera captures 180-degree, Dome View images with the press of a button, empowering users to capture the exciting experiences they are enjoying in the great outdoors.

Example of Dome View shot
The previously released EX-FR10 and FR100 Outdoor Recorder models have proven popular for their tough construction featuring an LCD-equipped controller that detaches from the camera body, as Visual Communication Gear designed to empower users to capture exciting experiences while enjoying the outdoors.
The new EX-FR200 takes an entire 180-degree image with the press of a button, capturing the whole background including the user and companions, no matter what angle of view. In addition to Dome View capture, the camera can take 360-degree horizontal Panorama photos and videos, as well as 208-degree diagonal Super Wide Angle photos and videos, offering flexibility for virtually any kind of scene.
Dome View images can be transferred to a smartphone and viewed using the EXILIM Album app, which automatically splits the image into either three perspective views (photos) or two perspective views (video clips), each corrected for distortion. This makes it possible to simultaneously view the image from different perspectives, to truly bring the experience alive. The user can view an area in full screen, to relive the moment and reveal new discoveries.
The app automatically selects images and video clips in the album, created within the app, and generates a Highlight Timeline. These are ideal for sharing on social media, enabling others to experience the moment and adding a new dimension to enjoying images.
Casio will also release the separate EX-FR100CA camera body, which expands the range of shooting options by enabling the user to control two cameras with one controller to simultaneously shoot the action from different perspectives. In addition, two EX-FR200 camera bodies can be used together to enable Full 360° shooting.
