The Exilim EX-FC500S camera can help golfers improve their form without them needing to touch the camera itself.  The camera has an LCD screen that can be tilted up 180 degrees so it faces front. When it’s placed on a stand, a golfer can then wave his or her hands to activate the record mode.  When the camera is done recording the swing, it automatically edits the recording so only the swing is preserved. With another hand wave, the golfer can send the file to an Android or iOS mobile device via Wi-Fi for review.

The EX-FC500S eliminates the hassle of going back and forth to the camera and controlling it manually, according to Casio.

After shooting at 240 frames per second, it can produce ultra-slow motion videos that are played back at 30 fps. They include graphical swing guidelines overlaid on the footage to help users correct their posture. The camera includes videos featuring pro golfer Ryo Ishikawa demonstrating proper form.  You can read the rest of the article here;

If it makes it to the US I'd definitely take a look at it.

Looks like a souped up (slightly) EX-FH100. Which is almost the same as the FH-20 and -25.

You can buy them from Japan pretty easily if you want. Via eBay, even.

Does it have to do everything automatically? It seems like it would do more than I need/want it to. I just want the ability to film in 240fps and port it to my computer for analysis. I'll stick with the iPhone 6.

I have the FH100.  It does nice film quality.  This one sounds cool.  Below is a video of it.
