319: The LOFT Pop-up Store @ SOGO KL.

The first time I came across LOFT was at Shibuya during my first trip to Tokyo, Japan. It was so many years ago and it made me miss Japan so much! LOFT is a Japanese Lifestyle Chain Store with over 100 outlets in Japan alone and you will not question their success if you have been to LOFT!

If I am not mistaken, this is the second time LOFT had a pop-up store in Malaysia. The first one was at Pavillion just outside the Tokyo Street sometime ago. I'm glad that the range of items that they decide to bring in this time around is much more interesting and applicable although less.

203: My Casio Exilim ZR3500.

Are you ready to follow me on my journey with Casio Exilim ZR3500? So it's been 1 month and 2 weeks with my new yellow toy and I have been bringing it around in my bag wherever I go! I love how it is super compact in size and feels feather light weight in comparison to most quality camera in the market.

Today, I'll be sharing with you the features which I simply adore from this camera! By now, you should have known one of the strongest reason why Casio cameras are a girl's best camera! It is simply because they are equipped with beauty mode and features! Yup, can't disagree that girls are the most vain creature in the world! Hehe..

First up and foremost is definitely the beauty mode setting! The Advanced Make-up setting is divided into 2 section; Skin Tone / Smooth Skin.  

Skin Tone setting range from {tan}+6 to {off}0 to {light}+6.

Smooth Skin setting range from {off}0 to {standard}+6 to {max}+12

Below are a more vivid picture to show you on the setting effects~

 Skin Tone: {tan}+6

 Skin Tone: {off}0

 Skin Tone: {light}+6 (ops! too much for my skin tone!)

Smooth Skin: {off}0

Smooth Skin: {standard}+6

Smooth Skin: {max}+12 (now I can have super duper smooth skin! haha)

Hey, that's my #Mhb manager, Tim! Say, hiiiieeeeeeee!!

My ideal setting would be Skin Tone: {off}0 or +2 with Smooth Skin: {standard}+6. ^^ 

The Make Up mode is my favourite! Even without makeup on, with just a click on the shutter, Casio EX ZR3500 will be able to give me a healthy glowing skin and some shade of light blusher! I can now look beautiful naturally even without the effort of putting on make up! <3

 

There's also fun ART Shot modes which I can play with. Clockwise from top left; Toy Camera / Pop / Soft Focus / Fisheye / Sepia / Monochrome ~ Ofcourse, this is not all. There are much more but that's for you to explore!

This Casio EX ZR3500 is not only good for selfie photos and human potraits! It actually fares well with food / product composition and ootd shot too! Colours and details were not compromised at all.

Besides the amazing camera techology, Casio also understands our social needs really well! An EXILIM apps is downloadable for the convenience of remote capture / album sharing and photo transfer! Just install the app, linked it with my mobile and I can transfer my fresh shots in just a few taps! Super conveninent for quick social updates~

 

Their latest edition is this SCENE app where you link the camera to your phone for data and everytime you take a picture, it will be automatically transferred into an online storage! It is also easily shareable with friends! Now you can even save the hassle to manual transfer! How convenient! How not to love this Casio Exilim ZR3500!

187: A Date with Casio EX-ZR3500!

It was exciting to get an exclusive invite to a date with Casio Exilim for the launch of EX-ZR3500! Which girl wouldn't like to be on a date with the brand that give you the chio-est look on camera? Only Casio can do it!

The event started with an introduction and technical explanations on the new features of Casio EX-ZR3500 by Mr.Sezai and Mr.Nelson of Casio Malaysia. Some of the highlighted features and upgrade from the previous model are such as; Make-up Plus Mode / 1/1.7inch sensor / front shutter / Bluetooth Smart / SCENE mobile apps. You would think that most girls have no idea what these camera jargons such as  sensor or shutter means but let me tell you that Casio has educated many girls on these technical terms.

 

Still, the most exciting section of the event is the physical demonstration of the EX-ZR3500 by Casio Malaysia spokeperson, DJ Vera! A live demo and experience sharing was something I was really looking forward to as I've never owned a Casio camera before and am thinking if I should get one to assist in my blogging. 

I have tried a few shots with the older model and spoke to friends who own it and it convince me to look forward to getting this latest model! I was pretty much sold because this compact camera seems like it can definitely be brought around during travels and is so compact that I can keep them in my bags for my blogging events, ootd shoots, food reviews and more! <3

We get to try on the new EX-ZR3500 there and then! 4 EX-ZR3500 each in different colour; White / Beige / Pink / Yellow. 4 cameras are definitely not enough to go around a cafe full of girls and we all got to take turns to test out this new enhanced cutie! Which colour is your favourite? I'm loving the beige because it looks a little like bronze silver~

We then get to try out the new camera for ourselves! 3 photos posted up which impress the judges the most wins a brand new Casio EX-ZR3500 each! It's not hard to take beautiful photos with this pretty camera but it sure is tough to have to contest with other 29 pretty girls in the cafe!

Testing out the camera on all angles, it seems to work it's magic and make us look good from any angle we hold the camera, no matter up, down, or straight front eye level! The beauty mode automatically lighten dark skin tones according to the level we set, smoothen out uneven skin to give baby skin smooth but still maintains the glow on our skin! How can we resist?

A girly date with Casio EX-ZR3500 is not complete with pretty sweet indulgence like these baby colour cupcakes! Did you notice that they are the same colour as the camera as well? <3

Besides the selfie and wefie pictures, all the pictures in this blog is actually taken with the Casio EX-ZR3500 provided in the event! Such convenience where anyone with the access will be able to access the photos shared within a folder in a mobile apps called SCENE. Sharing couldn't get any easier!

Wefie is definitely a must! In the end, Grace's pretty picture posted up on instagram won her a Casio EX-ZR3500! Such a lucky girl to be the first few to bring home this baby!

I'll just have to wait patiently and look forward to getting mine! Can't wait to share more info and new features of the new Casio EX-ZR3500 priced at RM1699 with everyone once I get my hands on mine! Stay tune! 

For the time being, you can check out more information on their facebook or official site!
