Genesis of Nature Photography Digital Camera.
The true color of nature: deep, beautiful.
High image quality now changing to inspiring image quality
Has there ever been a digital camera which captures the color of nature so deeply, beautifully and inspiringly like this? Incorporating the latest functions optimized for nature photography, this camera gives you the power of the image technologies FUJIFILM has been building up. These technologies include extended Dynamic Range to depict all of the subtle colors and tonality veiled in nature, and a Film Simulation Mode and bracketing functions for instant checking of different types of film simulations. Now you can take those photos you have never been able to take with any other digital camera. The FinePix S100FS reproduces colors and tones invisible to the naked eye. We bring you this camera with an inspiring image for lovers of nature photography.

* FUJIFILMs distinctive extended Dynamic Range of 400%.
Tonal expression of the extended Dynamic Range depicts excitement.
The great attractiveness of the FinePix S100FS is the extended Dynamic Range. Dynamic Range for digital cameras means the expression domain between bright areas and dark areas. In nature photography, there are many subjects with great difference between brightness and darkness, such as a bright sky against the dark sea. Such variation is difficult to express without an extended Dynamic Range. A narrow range causes over exposure or under exposure. The FinePix S100FS is the first digital camera with a

extended Dynamic Range (100%, 200%, 400%) similar to that of negative film, thanks to the newly developed 2/3-inch 11.1 megapixel Super CCD VIII HR and the new image processor R P ( Real Photo ) Processor I I I. T his camera prevents over exposure regardless of whether the subject is a landscape or a portrait. Take the beautiful photos you desire, from shots with clear modulation to those deep, fine photos. This is a function that nature photographers, who really need tonal expression more than anybody, simply cannot afford to miss.
The vividness of colors is reproduced with lively gradation. Suitable for photos to emphasize strong contrast, such as shadow and light, weak and strong colors. * Comparison with a model with previous Super CCD HR.
Film Simulation Mode and bracketing functions to capture the ever-changing presentation of nature.
Incorporates Velvia, PROVIA and SOFT modes.
The FinePix S100FS incorporates new functions, which are so useful for taking photos of nature. One of these new functions is the Film Simulation Mode. Film Simulation Mode allows you to take photos as if you are selecting the most appropriate type of film for each scene. The S100FS reproduces the color tones of Velvia, P R OV I A , which are immensely p opular FUJIFILM color reversal films. Together with the bracketing function, just one press of the shutter simultaneously creates images based on the three types of film, allowing you to select and produce images matching your intention and your mood. Only FUJIFILM, with our knowledge of everything there is to know about film, could possibly develop this unique function.

PROVIA mode

Powerful mode for any subject. Produce colors with the natural tone of PROVIA film, trusted by professional photographers.

Velvia mode

Mode for distinctive saturation and the colors of Velvia. Produce the vivid colors of nature in photos with great sharpness and color tone based on red and green.
Three bracketing functions
The FinePix S100FS has three bracketing functions useful for high-level photography.

SOFT mode

Mode for soft, fine, smooth tonality. Fidelity of hue and soft tone are the features of this mode.
Film Simulation bracketing
One press of the shutter produces three images of Velvia, PROVIA and SOFT modes.

Dynamic Range bracketing

One press of the shutter produces three images in a different Dynamic Range (100%, 200%, 400%).

AE bracketing

Continuous capture of three frames with exposure range of up to 1.0E V.
In addition to the above, Portrait mode, which produces soft tonality similar to that of negative film, is also included.
Velvia mode, PROVIA mode, SOFT mode. With just one touch, you can check them all.

Inspirational image quality with 2/3-inch 11.1 megapixels. Newly developed Super CCD VIII HR incorporated.
The FinePix S100FS is a superzoom digital camera with composite lens for nature photography. The CCD, image processor, the lens to take in the light, etc., of the FinePix S100FS were all optimally designed under a new concept. The CCD sensor, the core unit of the FinePix S100FS, is a newly developed Super CCD VIII HR. The light receptor area is expanded because of the large 2/3-inch CCD with about 11.1 million effective pixels. FUJIFILMs unique octagonal shape helps to maintain high pixel numbers and enhance the light collection efficiency and light capture efficiency per pixel. The CCD materializes high resolution and high sensitivity with low noise and creates high resolving power which thoroughly expresses the details of subjects and has rich tonal expression with an extended Dynamic Range.
lens barrel and by thoroughly eliminating ghost images and flare, which is made possible through multiple coatings.
Lens and CCD unit design. Rich expressive capacity for the entire zoom range.
The lens and CCD were designed as one unit during the development of the FinePix S100FS. This design allows the ultrahigh precision Fujinon lens to achieve maximum resolution at all focal lengths of the long zoom of 28mm - 400mm. You can use the whole of your concentration on taking photos without having to think about changing lenses, unlike single-lens reflex cameras.
Excellent color reproduction and high-speed processing. New image processing technology RP (Real Photo) Processor III.
The RP ( Real Photo) Processor was d e v e l o p e d through deepening FUJIFILMs original image processing technology. T h e f u r t h e r im p r o v e d R P ( Real Photo ) Processor III is incorporated in the FinePix S100FS. The p r o c e s s e r i s able to read at high speed by using parallel processing achieved by c ombining t he new dual channel output system developed for the 2 / 3-inch Super C C D V I I I H R with the 14-bit dual A / D conver ter for both rich tonalit y and high-speed reading.

Excellent telephoto performance. Incorporates a lens-shift type Image Stabilization mechanism.
The lens-shift type image stabilization mechanism in the FinePix S100 FS automatically detects vibration of the camera body by a sensor in the camera. This mechanism was devised with new compensation technology and makes the optical compensation function operate precisely according to the degree of vibration to refract light in the direction to compensate for the vibration. The mechanism produces a compensation effect equivalent to about three f stops.* *Measured by FUJIFILM
No dirt or dust penetration because lens and body are in one unit dust free structure.
The FinePix S100FS does away with troublesome maintenance thanks to the composite body and lens structure, because there is no need to change lenses, so there is no penetration of dirt and dust onto the CCD. You will always take photos with a clean CCD.
CCD with further enhanced low noise, high S/N ratio.
The FinePix S100FSs CCD has succeeded in reducing noise even further. The CCD reduces the effect of noise by raising the amplification factor of electric signals before output from the CCD by improving the amplifier which converts the electric charge created by the photodiode into electric signals. It becomes possible to transfer signals with a high S/N ratio which contributes to high-quality images for digital conversion.
Advanced speed, flexibility and maneuverability for professional nature phot
Approx. 3 frames/second at the full 11.1 megapixels. In addition, approx. 7 frames/second (for 3 megapixels) high-speed continuous shooting.
Natural light and colors change at every moment. You want to take photos of these decisive moments quickly. To respond to this need, the FinePix S100FS provides continuous shooting of 3 frames/second at the full 11.1 megapixels. (JPEG: up to 7 frames, CCD-RAW: up to 3 frames) At 3 megapixels, a maximum of 50 continuous shots at 7 frames/second high speed is possible. Reliable high-speed performance is supported by the newly developed Super CCD VIII HR and the new image processing technology RP (Real Photo) Processor III. Stress-less high-speed playback is possible of images after taking photos, at about 10 frames/second.
The 0.2-inch viewfinder display with approximately 200,000 dots is highly accurate, and dots on the display are less visible. Now it is a lot easier to see diverse photo information in the viewfinder. The viewfinder, set just above the lens barrel, facilitates easy holding of the camera and accurate framing of the subject with excellent vision.
