April 8, 2008: The latest Fujifilm digicam, the FinePix F100fd, combines a slim body with a 12-megapixel 8th Generation Super CCD and Real Photo Processor III technology.
Equipped with a Fujinon 5x optical zoom lens it offers a wide-angle setting equivalent to 28mm in 35mm format and includes proprietary Face Detection 3.0 Technology, which can detect up to 10 human faces in just 0.036 seconds. This new system can also identify faces at any angle in a 360-degree range regardless of whether the faces are profiled, tilted or upside down. Once the shot has been captured, the camera instantly corrects red-eye in just 0.1 second and then saves both the original and corrected image file automatically.
The FinePix F100fd also supports an extended sensitivity range, with settings up to ISO 3200 at full resolution and an ultra-high ISO 12,800 setting at 3-megapixels or lower for shooting without flash in extremely low-light and using fast shutter speeds. A new Portrait Enhancer Mode can minimise fine lines and small skin blemishes for smooth, natural looking portraits. Selecting Micro Thumbnail playback displays up to 100 photos at a time to simplify picture retrieval, while a High Speed playback function allows the full resolution photos to be viewed on the LCD at a speed of 10 frames per second.
Other features include 16 pre-programmed scenes with underwater and ‘blog’ modes, the latter automatically reducing the size of copied images for easy posting online. A Dual Shot Mode records two images in rapid succession – one with flash and one without – and saves them both enabling a comparison of shots. The FinePix F100fd also features infrared communication via IrSimple technology. Video clips can be recorded with sound at VGA resolution and 30fps and displayed on the 2.7-inch LCD screen.
The FinePix F100fd’s memory card slot is compatible with both xD picture Cards and SD/SDHC media. The camera is supplied with a rechargeable battery and charger. Its RRP is $499. For more information, visit www.fujifilm.com.au.
