September 1, 2008: The latest Fujifilm digicam, the FinePix F60fd combines a 12-megapixel Super CCD sensor with Dual Image Stabilisation and a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens.
Targeted at snapshooters, the new model features a brand new Scene Recognition technology (SR-AUTO) that can identify a scene without needing users to pre-select it as a mode on the camera. The camera will automatically select one of four scene modes -Portrait, Night, Landscape and Macro – and optimise the settings to record the best photo of the chosen subject. The F60fd also supports a wide sensitivity range, covering ISO 100-1600 sensitivity at full resolution, plus ISO 3200 at 6MP and ISO 6400 at 3MP.
Other features include Face Detection 3.0 technology, which enables the camera to recognise faces at more extreme angles – up to 90 degrees in either direction for profiles and also upside-down. Up to 10 human faces can be identified in a scene in as little as 0.036 seconds, after which the camera will automatically adjust focus, exposure and white balance, regardless of where subjects are located in the frame.
The Dual Image Stabilisation system combines CCD shift with ISO boosting to provide fast shutter speeds in low light levels or other situations where camera shake or subject motion may result in blurred images. Other FinePix F60fd features include a movie mode with sound; auto flash, self-timer; 13 pre-programmed scene modes and an xD/SD/SD-HC card slot.
The camera is equipped with a 3.0-inch, 230,000 dot LCD screen with a wide viewing angle. Playback options include a sort-by-date system and micro thumbnail view to display up to 100 photos at once. In-camera editing includes an automatic retouching system for removing skin blemishes and producing smooth skin textures. The camera is supplied with a Li-ion battery NP-50; Battery charger BC-50; Hand Strap; USB and A/V cables and CD-Rom containing FinePix Viewer and the Owner’s manual.
RRP for the FinePix F60fd is $399. For more information, visit www.fujifilm.com.au.
