Bringing the best out of technology to meet the evolving user needs is the prime mantra of tech industry, and consumer electronics company Casio seems to be no exception. With smartphones becoming an inseparable part of peoples’ lifestyles, the concept of photography has completely changed over past few years – yeah, we’re talking about selfies here. Catching the nerve of the current generation, Casio has come out with a new camera in its TR series, dubbed TR-Mini.

The company’s TR series of cameras is built with focus on selfies, targeting youngsters. With it’s latest product – TR-Mini (TR-M11) – the company is specifically eyeing female users, as they say:

Getting to the specifications, this 12 megapixel camera has a 21mm lens, which captures square shots of 8 megapixel. It has a wide-angle perspective which, the company claims, offers a face-slimming effect. The camera’s lens is surrounded by a ring flash with eight LED flash lights, and a sub-LED to offer a light effect similar to the one they generate in a photo studio.
