Overview of FUJIFILM FinePix Exhibition
Autumn 2008 New Model Touch & Try
The lineup of FinePix quality digital cameras on display at Photokina 2008 includes the FinePix S100FS, winner of both TIPA and EISA Awards in 2008; the top-of-its-series FinePix F100fd; the slim, stylish FinePix Z20fd and FinePix Z200fd, favorites among young people for their innovative designs; the new FinePix F60fd, debuting this autumn with a newly developed Scene Recognition AUTO function; and the FinePix S2000HD, capable of capturing full HD still photos and HD movies for playback on big-screen HDTV.
FinePix Real Photo Technology Experience
Embracing the concept “Capture the moment as your eye sees it,” Fujifilm continues to develop its state-of-the-art Real Photo Technology. Among the technological innovations showcased at Photokina 2008 is “Scene Recognition AUTO,” a new intelligent function that recognizes the type of scene and automatically sets the optimum shooting parameters. Another innovation, “Wide Dynamic Range 400%” minimizes blown-out highlights in high-contrast scenes. FinePix face detection functions are evolving as well, giving the latest “Face Detection 3.0” the ability to detect faces in a mere 0.036 seconds. Extended 360° detection even identifies profiles and faces at an angle, and the same face detection technology also plays a role in the innovative Couple Timer & Group Timer functions. This corner of the Fujifilm booth lets visitors experience shooting with these innovative Real Photo Technologies and also features an HD still photo/movie output corner where visitors can discover the pleasures of HDTV-compatible photography for the entire family.
FinePix Technology of the Near Future
Fujifilm has developed a next-generation version of Super CCD, the proprietary imaging sensor that captures images as close as possible to those seen by the human eye. The development concept, structure, and image visuals will be on display at Photokina, in advance of the commercial debut of cameras featuring this new imaging sensor. Fujifilm has also developed a new visual system expected to expand the horizons of imaging and will display a world of images that far surpasses common perceptions of photography for the first time ever at Photokina 2008.
