Casio EX-H10 Lens features

The EX-H10 includes a built-in lens having a focal range of 24-240mm giving it a 10.0 x zoom which might not be very good but it would certainly be helpful in certain situations.

At it's widest 24mm, it offers an aperture of f3.2 which is kind of sluggish and not good in low light situations and you will probably find it hard to capture good bokeh. You will also have to increase your ISO setting which results in noisy images. With the long end, 240mm comes to f5.7 making it fairly sluggish and you will have to apply slower shutter speeds.

Casio EX-H10 Video features
