TECHNOLOGY

FUJIFILM HERITAGE

Fujiﬁlm has a long-standing heritage of being an

industry innovator with a history of photographic and

imaging excellence. Focused on product development

and research, Fujiﬁlm introduced the world to the ﬁrst

compact digital camera, with ISO 3200, and has

continued to lead the way as an inventor of many

of the tools consumers and professionals use.

Fujiﬁlm continues to leverage its technological and

photographic expertise to take digital imaging and

cameras to new heights.

REAL PHOTO TECHNOLOGY

Fujifilm Real Photo Technology seamlessly incorporates the latest technological

improvements affecting all THREE main camera components - the lens, the sensor

and the processor. Real Photo Technology works so effectively because it makes

the overall picture a better image. The photographic result – capture life’s most

precious moments that are so true-to-life, looking at the picture is just like reliving

the moment all over again.

ANY SHOT. EVERY SHOT. PERFECT SHOT.

SUPER CCD-HR SENSOR

Super CCD image sensor combines higher sensitivity with the advanced noise

suppression capabilities of the RP (Real Photo) Processor to fully exploit the

image quality and resolutions of FinePix high MP cameras.

Even photos taken in typically noisy situations such as twilight and under other low

light conditions retain the subtle tonality and beauty you saw with your own eyes.

Fujiﬁlm FinePix digital cameras use a proprietary CCD system that utilizes larger,

octagonal-shaped, light-gathering diodes called Picture Elements, or pixels, that

are laid out in a saw-tooth pattern. Super CCDs can capture more light information

than ordinary CCDs; the extra information is used by the camera’s image processor

to improve color accuracy and ISO speed.

RP (REAL PHOTO) PROCSOR

RP (Real Photo) Processor is an advanced signal processing developed by Fujiﬁlm.

Two cycles of sophisticated noise reduction processing yields high quality images,

even at high ISO settings, and Contour Correction processing stands for clearer

contrast with natural resolution. In addition, ultra fast processing means Fujiﬁlm

FinePix cameras have “no-wait” operation, with super fast shutter time and short

frame-to-frame intervals. Also, energy efﬁcient processing means longer battery

life and more shots per charge.

ANY SHOT. EVERY SHOT. PERFECT SHOT.

FUJINON LENS

Faster Auto Focus (AF) and Auto Exposure (AE) means the camera is ready to

capture every moment, all the time. And, with the increased sensitivity of the

NEW Super CCD-HR Sensor, the lens can even adjust focus and exposure for

low-light conditions and make Face Detection possible by adjusting focal points.

i-FH

Beyond Smart Flash, there’s i-Flash, the Intelligent Flash that thinks for you. It’s all

about capturing the absolute best looking photos, even in the most challenging

situations. i-Flash delivers gorgeous pictures with true-to-life color, natural looking

skin tones and super-sharp details across the entire image.

i-Flash is a fully integrated component of Fujiﬁlm Real Photo Technology

and takes advantage of super-fast auto exposure, dim-light auto focus and

increased sensitivity for a wide range of operation in various lighting and scene

conditions. Because i-Flash has more power ranges with more focal points than

other ﬂashes, it can more accurately identify the subject’s distance from the

background and the location of the subject from left-to-right within the frame.

Working in combination with the NEW RP (Real Photo) Processor to set the

highest possible ISO setting (up to ISO 3200), i-Flash can easily focus on

subjects in poor lighting conditions to intelligently adjust the ﬂash intensity.

Digital camera users get natural looking skin tones and background details,

even when the subjects aren’t in the center of the frame.

LIGHT DONE RIGHT

i-Flash gives you superb pictures

with great lighting and exquisite details,

exposing the subject without over-

powering the background.

ANY SHOT. EVERY SHOT. PERFECT SHOT.

PIURE ABILIZATION

SAY GOODBYE TO BLURRY PIUR

Picture Stabilization captures sharp,

clear pictures by reducing the blur

caused by camera shake and subject

action, even in low light conditions.

Picture Stabilization cures 3

common causes of blurry pictures

1. Subject movement

Riding a bike, jumping, dancing or racing.

FinePix cameras focus quickly on things that move fast.

2. Unsteady arm holding the camera

Even the strongest person can’t hold the camera still.

With FinePix, slight camera shake won’t affect focus.

3. Low light environments

Moonlit walks and candle light dinners.

FinePix cameras can see more, with less available light.

And that means the camera can focus in very low light conditions.

Picture Stabilization automates professional

photographic techniques to reduce or eliminate these

causes of blurry pictures. By utilizing Real Photo

Technology and the advanced capability of Fujiﬁlm

FinePix digital cameras, a greater degree of control

is achieved which results in sharper, clearer images,

even when taken in adverse conditions.

NATURAL LIGHT MODE

Natural Light Mode is almost a dream come true. Well, that’s mostly because

it can easily capture the dreamy ambiance, mood and feel created by the ambient

lighting characteristics found in certain scenes. It could be the glimmer of a sunset,

a candlelight dinner or even the ﬂicker of a campﬁre.

Natural Light Mode is powered by Fujiﬁlm Real Photo Technology and works

exceptionally well because it disables the camera’s ﬂash system and activates

the highest ISO setting in the NEW RP (Real Photo) Processor. With ISO 3200

sensitivity on select FinePix digital camera models, the camera can see more detail

just by using the available natural light. So, instead of capturing photos that look

overexposed by ﬂash, overwhelming the natural ambiance, you get pictures that are

just as warm and true-to-color as the scene itself. And because Natural Light Mode

is integrated with the NEW 6th Generation Super CCD-HR Sensor, its super-high

signal-to-noise ratio maintains a clean image, free of grain.

TRUE COLORS SHINING THROUGH

Natural Light Mode preserves the true-

to-life color of the scene and captures

ﬁne details in both the subject and the

background without ever using a ﬂash.

ANY SHOT. EVERY SHOT. PERFECT SHOT.
