Fujifilm Announces the FinePix A600, the FinePix F650 and the FinePix F30

Before the PMA

Panasonic was not the only company to announce new cameras today, as Fujifilm also unveiled three new models: the FinePix A600 Zoom, the FinePix F650 Zoom and the Fujifilm FinePix F30.The FinePix A600 Zoom, designed in an attractive two-tone metallic finish, incorporates many features normally only found in higher end models. It sports an impressive 6.3 million pixels, featuring Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD, along with an extra-large 2.4-inch LCD monitor.Available for the first time in an entry-level 'A' series FinePix camera, the sophisticated Super CCD sensor means that image quality is the best possible standard, allowing the FinePix A600 Zoom to take shots that look more realistic, and more traditionally photographic. In addition, the FinePix A600 Zoom has approx.12 megabytes of internal memory built-in, making it possible to record up to seven frames without a media card. The FinePix A600 Zoom is also capable of capturing 10 movie frames per second with monaural sound.The latest addition to Fujifilm's well-established 'F' series, the FinePix F650 Zoom delivers six megapixels, handy for those keen to enlarge images. What's more, this stylish and functional camera is the first Fujifilm compact to contain a 5x optical zoom lens.The FinePix F650 Zoom also has an impressive super-size 3-inch LCD screen, ideal for viewing menu options and sharing images with friends on the spot. What's more, there's added capacity for storing precious pictures, as this all-rounder comes equipped with built-in internal memory.As has become commonplace on FinePix cameras, the FinePix F650 Zoom captures 30 frames per second when set on movie mode, giving smoother, clearer video clips. It also contains an ISO sensitivity range of 64-400, allowing it to handle everyday lighting conditions. Breaking away from the tired and irrelevant practice of pixel counting, the FinePix F30 Zoom is the world's first digital compact camera to deliver ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution. Fujifilm has identified sensitivity as one of the major photographic benchmarks for the digital age, and this camera makes it possible to capture images of unrivalled quality, even in very dark conditions. Building on the success of the award-winning FinePix F10 Zoom, the FinePix F30 Zoom pulls away from the pack with a sensitivity setting that is eight times as effective in low light as a conventional compact with ISO 400. Benefiting from the sixth generation Super CCD and Fujifilm's groundbreaking Real Photo Processor II, the users will be are able to produce sharp images with minimal noise, no subject blurring and atmospheric lighting in dark conditions. The FinePix F30 Zoom showcases a new 'intelligent flash' system which uses the camera's exceptional sensitivity to combine natural foreground illumination with balanced exposure in the background. Avoiding both the messy background blur of 'slow-sync' flash, and the stark contrast of conventional flash, this will bring your after-hours photography to life.The camera's 2.5-inch LCD screen is coated with Fujifilm's proprietary CV film, minimizing glare and reflections for enhanced ease of viewing. In addition, the FinePix F30 Zoom has 15 new scene positions from underwater, beach and snow, to sunset, party and fireworks. These make it easier than ever for users to experiment with photography in a range of lighting conditions.The FinePix F30 Zoom and the FinePix A600 Zoom will be available from UK retailers in May 2006 and June 2006, respectively, but there aren't any details about the FinePix F650.

Explanation of Terms

EV A number denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1. Frame rate (fps) The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps. For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC). JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality in the decompressed (restored) image. Motion JPEG A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later. Smear A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen. WAVE A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the.WAV file extension and the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera. WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software: Windows: MediaPlayer Macintosh: QuickTime Player * QuickTime 3.0 or later White Balance Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance.

Do not use in the bathroom or shower.
