Casio have released a new firmware update for the Casio EX-S600 (pictured) and Casio EX-Z500 digital cameras.

Functions added by firmware update 1.01:

Keystone Correction
Correct the snapshot of a blackboard, document, poster, photograph, or other rectangular object that is out of square because it was recorded at an angle.
Performing keystone correction on an image causes a new (corrected) version (1600 × 1200 pixels) to be stored as a separate file

1. In the PLAY mode, use [＜] and [＞] to scroll through images on the monitor screen and display the one you want to correct.
2. Select the “PLAY” tab, select “Keystone”, and then press [＞].
- This causes a screen that shows all of the objects in the image that qualify as candidates for keystone correction to appear.
- Note that the above step is possible only when there is a snapshot displayed on the monitor screen.
3. Use [＜] and [＞] to select the candidate you want to correct.
4. Use [▲] and [▼] to select “Correct”, and then press [SET].
- Select “Cancel” to exit the procedure without performing keystone correction.
IMPORTANT!
- If the original image is smaller than 1600 × 1200 pixels, the new (corrected) version is the same size as the original one.

Keystone correction cannot be performed on the following types of images.
- Movie images and the voice recording file icon
- Images created with MOTION PRINT
- Images recorded with another camera

- The keystone correction operation cannot be performed if there is not enough memory to store the corrected image.
- When you display a corrected image on the camera’s monitor screen, the date and time indicate when the image was originally recorded, not when the image was corrected.
- When a keystone corrected image appears on the full-month calendar screen, it is displayed on the date that it was corrected.
