THE NEW PROFESSIONAL CHOICE IN DIGITAL PERFORMANCE AND VERSATILITY
The challenge: to design a digital SLR capable of meeting the rapidly rising expectations of todays professional photographers and then surpassing them. The answer: the Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro. Built upon the enviable legacy of its predecessor, the FinePix S1 Pro, Fujifilms new flagship digital SLR further raises the bar for image quality and resolution, color fidelity, and all-around performance. The result is a professional tool that will expand your horizons, whether in the studio or on location, and a powerful solution for the working photographer who demands the state of the art in quality and versatility.
At the heart of the FinePix S2 Pro: The 3rd-Generation Super CCD
The FinePix S2 Pro owes its exceptional imaging performance to Fujifilms newly developed 23.0 15.5mm 3rdGeneration Super CCD sensor. With 6.17 million effective pixels delivering an unprecedented (12.1 million) recording pixels, Conventional 1/2 inch the FinePix S2 CCD Pro offers twice the image size of its predecessor FinePix S1 Pro and far more recording pixels than any other SLR digital camera available today*. As important as it is, this two-fold improvement in definition is only part of the story. The 3rd-Generation Super CCDs new sensor technology, together with a state-of-the-art image-processing algorithm LSI, reduces noise in both the luminance and chroma information in captured images. Apart from notably cleaner images, this makes possible an expanded range of ISO sensitivities for maximum shooting versatility. The same technology, in combination with the new CCD-RAW file format (12 bits each for R, G and B), also extends tonal range and improves color balance. Skin tones particularly benefit, and surface textures take on a tactile, three-dimensional reality. In short, the image quality of the FinePix S2 Pro at last truly rivals that of film-based photography.

* As of June, 2002

Newly developed 23.0 15.5mm Super
CCD ensures unsurpassed image quality. 6.17 million effective pixels yield ultrahigh-quality images of (12.1 million) recording pixels.

The advantages of Super CCD sensor technology

Super CCD

Photodiode Charge transmission path Super CCD maximizes the photodiode size of each pixel

Conventional CCD

Photodiode Control signal path Charge transmission path
Fujifilms Super CCD represents a comprehensive approach to improved imaging performance, not only by capturing higher resolutions but also by enhancing each of the other various factors that comprise image quality. What makes this new sensor technology unique are octagonalshaped photodiodes in an interwoven array that maximizes the size and light-gathering ability of each pixel. This configuration boosts sensitivity, improves S/N ratio and greatly increases dynamic range, producing digital images with richer, true-to-life colors and sparking clarity. The interwoven pixel arrangement also makes possible the increase of resolution in both vertical and horizontal directions, for dramatically greater overall definition.

Cutting-edge capabilities for the demanding pro
High-speed responsiveness
Thanks to Fujifilm technology, superior image quality no longer means slower operation. Combining a highly efficient RISC CPU with a newly developed LSI ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) featuring an advanced image-processing algorithm, the FinePix S2 Pro processes even the largest image files with remarkable speed, and the on-board ASIC buffer memory keeps up with even rapid-fire shooting. Highspeed continuous shooting is available even when recording at the largest file sizes, allowing 2 frames per second up to a total of 7 frames.
Highly accurate, high-speed five-area autofocus

Image quality options

The FinePix S2 Pro can record images at four resolutions: 4256 2848, 3024 2016, and pixels. At each resolution users have a choice of three file formats: CCD-RAW, TIFF-RGB and JPEG. For the first time in a FinePix digital camera, the FinePix S2 Pro supports the CCD-RAW file format. This 12-bit lossless image file format effectively stores images exactly as they come from the CCD array before processing by cameras internal algorithms. Bundled conversion software converts the CCD-RAW data to 8-bit TIFF-RGB files, and an optional Hyper Utility Software can process the CCD-RAW data to full 16-bit TIFF-RGB files without any loss of the original tonality. The FinePix S2 Pro incorporates five area AF sensors covering a wide area along both the horizontal and the vertical axes. This generous autofocus coverage is ideal for fast, creative composition. Alternatively the photographer can designate any of the five sensors as primary sensor, allowing highly effective action and sequence photography. The FinePix S2 Pro provides three AF modes and two AF area modes. You can choose from high-speed, accurate Single Servo AF (AF-S) and Continuous Servo AF (AF-C) modes, or fully mechanical Manual focus (M) mode. The two AF area modes provide tailor-made focusing for virtually any situation. Dynamic AF Mode: With the AF-C mode selected, you can choose the focus area that best suits your composition with the Dynamic AF Mode. If the subject moves out of the selected focus area, Dynamic AF instantly shifts the focus to another of the five areas making this mode ideal for action photos. In the AF-S mode, the camera automatically selects the Dynamic AF Mode with Closest Subject Priority that enables the camera to identify and focus on the closest subject. Single Area AF Mode: This mode allows you to designate any one of the five focus areas as the primary area for focusing. It works particularly well for shooting portraits, landscapes and other stationary subjects.

Dual interface convenience
The FinePix S2 Pro is equipped with both highspeed IEEE 1394 (FireWire) and widely available USB 1.1 interfaces. The FireWire port in particular makes possible extremely rapid transfer of large amounts of image data. In addition to downloading images, the IEEE 1394 interface even allows you to control camera settings and shoot remotely from your PC by using the optional software.

Dual media slots

The FinePix S2 Pro is equipped with dual media slots for SmartMedia and Microdrive cards, letting you concentrate on the shooting without worrying about storage space. You can even insert different types of media in each slot and then select which one you want to use to store each image as you shoot.
Highly-accurate intelligent white balance
Photographers have their own ways of seeing. Thats why the FinePix S2 Pro gives you the controls you need to produce exactly the image qualities you want. The 9-position white balance control ensures exemplary color balance even in the most difficult lighting situations. Color saturation, tone and sharpness settings are freely adjustable, letting you implement any visual idea as creatively as you wish.

The right choice for any light
Truly intelligent metering
The FinePix S2 Pro gives you a choice of three TTL exposure metering modes, together designed to handle virtually any lighting situation. Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering provides intelligent metering even in the trickiest lighting. In addition to reading scene brightness, the system analyses the overall atmosphere of the frame by comparing the exposure information to its scene-condition database, including brightness, contrast, subject-to-camera distance and the selected focus area. The 10-segment 3D Matrix Metering is activated when using D or G type Nikkor lenses. The result: automatic exposure control that is astonishingly accurate. Center-weighted Metering concentrates the sensing area on the center of the viewfinder. This traditional metering mode is useful for shooting portraits and other center-dominant subjects. Spot Metering gives you true pinpoint precision, ideal whenever you need exact exposure for a particular part of the scene.
100/160/200/400/800/1600, the FinePix S2 Pro is ready for virtually any light conditions, whether in the studio or on location.
Additional exposure features
Exposure Compensation: Adjustable from 2 to +2 EV in 1/3-step increments Auto Exposure Bracketing: Automatically captures three consecutive shots in 1/3, 2/3 or 1 EV increments over and under the set exposure Auto Exposure Lock: Holds the metered exposure value as long as required Multiple Exposure: Allows you to superimpose as many images as you like on the same frame

High-resolution LCD monitor
The 1.8-inch low temperature polysilicon TFTLCD monitor on the back panel of the FinePix S2 Pro delivers crisp, clear images of 130,000 pixels. Coverage is 100% of the frame, as is the viewfinder. The LCD monitor can be used to display and check images as soon as you shoot them, and a playback zoom function allows enlargement of any image for detailed inspection. The camera also has a convenient backlit dot matrix LCD display, enabling photographers to check or change a variety of camera settings quickly.

Start Up Set Up

Versatile exposure control
With four modes for controlling aperture and shutter speed, the FinePix S2 Pro offers complete exposure versatility, no matter what your style of shooting. Multi Programmed AE mode (P): Works with any of the FinePix S2 Pros metering modes, including 3D Matrix Metering, to provide the quickest and simplest exposure control option. Flexible Program lets you shift aperture and shutter speed in tandem, always maintaining the correct exposure value. Shutter-Priority AE mode (S): Allows you to select any shutter speed between 1/4000 and 30 seconds. The FinePix S2 Pro then automatically sets the correct aperture to match. This mode makes it easy to stop action in its tracks or blur movement for creative effect. Aperture-Priority AE mode (A): Ideal for times when your first concern is controlling depth of field. Choose any aperture you want, and the camera automatically selects the correct shutter speed. Manual exposure mode (M): Lets you freely set both the shutter speed and aperture.

The new Advanced Focusing Screen Display of the FinePix S2 Pro employs the convenient Vari-Brite Focus Area display system; it enables clear display of the focus brackets at the selected focus area in the viewfinder for easy identification. When the finder image is bright, the focus brackets are displayed in black and when the finder image is dark, the focus brackets are momentarily illuminated in red. The selected focus area can be identified easily in both bright and dark conditions with this function. Also, the new Advanced Focusing Screen Display allows the superimposition of On-Demand Grid Lines. The grid lines can be displayed by using Custom Setting Menu #2 (P.96). These grids assist you in composing the frame, in taking landscape pictures or in shifting/tilting PC-Nikkor lenses. Due to characteristics of the LCD used in the Vari-Brite Focus Area display system, a thin line outside the selected focus area may also be displayed or the entire viewfinder may be illuminated in red under certain conditions. These are not malfunctions.

USING AF LOCK

RELEASE MODES/e (SINGLE-FRAME) AND r (CONTINUOUS SHOOTING)
The release mode is normally set to Single-frame. Set the release mode to Continuous Shooting to take sequential shots of moving subjects or to take a series of shots using Auto Exposure Bracketing. Hold down the release mode switch unlock button and set the release mode switch to e (Single frame) or r (Continuous Shooting).

METERING SYSTEMS

Normally, the Matrix Metering system will provide the optimum exposure for your shot. However, you can choose from 3 metering modes for shots where you want to select a different exposure level (AE lock or exposure compensation) or for particular scenes (such as backlit shots or shots with very strong contrast). Turn the metering system selector dial to desired metering system. The icon for the selected metering system appears in the viewfinder.
': Matrix (10-segment) metering
The camera sets the optimum exposure based on data (the maximum brightness and brightness contrast) measured independently for 10 segments in the photography screen. With D- or G-type Nikkor lenses, 10-segment 3D matrix metering is used, factoring in the distance to the subject as well as the maximum brightness and brightness contrast to ensure even more accurate metering.

e (Single frame)

In this mode, one shot is taken each time you press the shutter button. Use this mode to take a single clearly defined shot in each frame.
! G If you take a number of single-frame shots in rapid succession, the number of available shots is highlighted in the
same way as in continuous shooting. Once this happens, no further shots can be taken. Wait until the number of available shots is no longer highlighted.

r (Continuous Shooting)

This mode allows you to take up to 7 consecutive shots at intervals as short as 0.5 seconds by holding down the shutter button. h Once you have shot the maximum number of continuous frames (7), the number of available shots shown on the rear display panel is highlighted. No further continuous shots can be taken at that point. Wait until the number of available shots is no longer highlighted.
;: Center-weighted metering
Center-weighted metering determines the exposure value based primarily on a 12-mm circle in the center of the viewfinder.
! G The continuous shooting speed is fixed and does not vary according to the resolution or quality settings. ! G You cannot use continuous shooting with the built-in flash. ! G If previewing is selected for photographed images (P.90) when continuous shooting is used,
only the photographed image for the final frame is displayed and automatically recorded. ! G If you use continuous shooting when the number of available shots is low, the number of available shots may temporarily change to 0.

The functions change each time the w button is pressed.

White balance

Change the settings when you want to set the white balance to suit the natural or artificial lighting conditions when you shoot.

1: Images shot in high-sensitivity photography (ISO 400 or higher) may appear coarse and may also be affected by noise such as white dots. 2: CCD-RAW is a format specific to the FinePix S2 Pro. The enclosed FinePix Viewer software or the optional Hyper-Utility software Shooting Software is required to interpret the images. 3: Images shot with long exposures (1 second or longer) may appear coarse and may also be affected by noise such as white dots. 4: The figures shown for the number of available shots are a guide to the number of consecutive shots that can be taken at normal temperatures with the flash used in 50% of the shots. Note that the actual number of available shots may differ due to variations in the ambient temperature when the camera is used and the amount of battery charge. The number of available shots is lower at low temperatures. These specifications and performance data are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM accepts no liability whatsoever for errors or omissions in this manual. The color LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, up to 0.01% of the pixels may fail to light or may remain permanently lit. This phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image. The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by the strong radio interference (i. e. electric fields, static electricity, line noise, etc.).
Auto Power Off Preview Playback

Explanation of Terms

Auto Power Off Function: If the camera is not used in any way for a set period, the Auto Power Off function switches the camera off to prevent battery depletion and to avoid wasting power when the camera is connected to the AC power adapter. Preview image display is also cancelled when this function operates. h The Auto Power Off function does not operate, when a USB connection is being used, or when the Auto Power Off function is switched off during setup. CCD-RAW This is the image data prior to signal processing (the reconstruction of the data read in from the CCD as an image). Because the signal processing is performed on the computer, high levels of control are possible. To reconstruct images, FinePixViewer (on the enclosed CD-ROM) or the Hyper Utility (optional) must be installed on your computer. Color Temperature: Low-temperature light sources, such as a candle flame, are strongly red, while high-temperature light sources, such as a gas burner flame, are strongly blue. The color of the light for these temperatures is expressed as a color temperature (K = Kelvin). The light of the sun at midday in a completely clear sky is taken to be 5500K. EV: A number that 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. JPEG: Joint Photographics Experts Group A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image. TIFF-RGB: A format for saving image data in which a tag indicating the file format is attached to each item of data. Files stored in this format can be opened on a personal computer. 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. This camera use PCM recording. 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. A function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.
