A Great Leap Forward for Perfect Picture-taking
Setting a New Standard in Breathtaking Image Quality
Powered by the Next-generation Super CCD
The FinePix 6900 Zoom digital camera features a high-performance 3.3-million pixel Super CCD, that has been further improved over previous Super CCDs in image quality including resolution, signal-tonoise ratio and color reproduction, to offer exceptionally high-quality images and functions normally only found in highend professional cameras.
Powerful 6! Optical Zoom and Selective Digital Zoom Function

35 mm (at full wide)

105 mm

210 mm (6! optical zoom)

Low Noise, High Sensitivity
The octagonal-shaped photodiodes of the Super CCD are larger than those of conventional CCDs. As a result, the photodiodes gather light more effectively from the lens, delivering a dramatic improvement in sensitivity (equivalent to ISO 100, 200 or 400), dynamic range, S/N ratio, and other image properties. The Super CCD captures images in 12-bit color and records them at an optimal 8 bits, depending on the scene.

High Resolution

The interwoven arrangement of pixels successfully increases both horizontal and vertical resolution. As a result, FinePix 6900 Zooms 1/1.7-inch 3.3-million pixel Super CCD delivers outstanding, high-resolution image files with 6.0 million pixels (2832 2128, TIFF or compressed formats).

The FinePix 6900 Zoom sports a large diameter, swift-acting F2.8 Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating) Fujinon 6! optical zoom lens that is equivalent to 35 to 210mm on a 35mm camera. This professional-quality, high-precision lens delivers outstanding detail and clarity. The zoom lens is of a floating type and is a mere 46mm in depth with ten elements in seven groups including two aspherical lenses. It has extremely low chromatic aberration and multi-layer coating. The lens also features a built-in five-blade rounded diaphragm mechanism with 13 f-stops, which offers a wide variety of depths of field. Smooth digital zooming up to 4.43! (in pixel mode) helps bring the action right in front of your eyes. Combined with the 6! optical zoom, the FinePix 6900 Zooms total magnification effect can be up to approximately 26.6! (929mm equivalent).
Faithful Color Reproduction
Only the Super CCD offers Fujifilms superior image-processing algorithm that faithfully and quickly reproduces colors, from subtle tones to highly saturated primary colors. With the FinePix 6900 Zoom, you can expect colors to reproduce exactly as you see them.
Highly detailed images High resolution Images with clearer highlights and shadows Wider dynamic range Clear images with low noise High S/N
Fine mode, pixels, 1/30 sec, f/11.0, ISO 100 equivalent
Faithful color reproduction Images with colors that look just like the subject High sensitivity
Linear tonality Smooth image tones throughout
Images with no noise, even in shadows, and no blurring due to camera shake
The FinePix 6900 Zoom is a digital camera with a TTL metering system. Its lightweight and compact magnesium alloy body houses a bright, large-diameter, precision 6! zoom lens, while the gunmetal black exterior, a first for any FinePix camera, gives the FinePix 6900 Zoom an aura of sophistication and excitement. The simple user interface realizes a hands-on style of operation similar to that of a film camera, allowing the user full control over all functions. However, the truly outstanding characteristic of the FinePix 6900 Zoom is its 3.3 megapixel next-generation Super CCD that produces image file sizes with an amazing 6.0 million pixels, delivering realistic, super high-quality images that will stimulate your shooting creativity.

Hands-on or Hands-off Its Completely Up to You!
Variety of Shooting Modes
The FinePix 6900 Zoom is equipped with shooting modes in which you can take pictures as if you were using a conventional SLR camera. Auto Mode This mode lets you shoot pictures in almost any situation. The AUTO FinePix 6900 Zoom will instantaneously interpret the shooting conditions and accordingly adjust the exposure and color balance using high precision 64-zone TTL metering and intelligent auto white balance. Scene Position Mode This mode provides automatic settings tailored to particular types of SP shots such as Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Scene and Blackand-White modes for high-accuracy shooting, in which the camera picks the most appropriate settings for the situation. Programmed Shooting Mode In this mode, the camera automatically selects shutter speed and aperture, but allows you to set all the other parameters.
Continuous Shooting Button Self Timer Button Mode Switch POWER Button Flash Mode Dial
Preview/Post-view Function
