News: Fuji Fujifilm Finepix F30 Digital Camera Press release
In 2005, with the introduction of FinePix F10, Fujifilm changed the trend of digital photography by giving photographers new flexibility to capture images with a much higher success rate. The first compact digital camera to incorporate Fujifilmīs Real Photo Technology, the award-winning the FinePix F10, featured ISO 1600 high sensitivity, making it possible to take beautiful pictures in low-light or with fast-moving subjects.
In 2006, Fujifilmīs Real Photo Technology continues to evolve and, for the first time, begins to approximate the human eye with its breakthrough ISO 3200 sensitivity.
At PMA, Fujifilm will demonstrate the digital cameras with Capture the moment as your eyes see it theme. Backed by an extensive history of in-house development of innovative imaging technology, including sophisticated CCDs and image processors, Fujifilm is proud to introduce the Fuji FinePix F30 , the worldīs first compact digital camera to offer ISO 3200 sensitivity at its full resolution (6.1 Mega Pixels).
Todayīs digital cameras offer a constantly expanding range of features, including movie capture, wireless transmission, and more. They are also extremely thin and compact. However, in the race to develop stylish cameras with add-on functions and features, the most important thing may have been overlooked the fact that a digital camera is primarily a device for capturing and preserving memories beautifully. For compact digital cameras, the real challenge is how to capture the moment as you actually see it with your eyes, rather than the process being driven by how the camera sees it. The ultimate compact digital camera should enable you to take great pictures on the spur of the moment, whenever and wherever you encounter them. To make this goal a reality, the new FinePix F30 incorporates the latest innovations in Fujifilmīs Real Photo Technology.
New Super CCD HR Generation
The newly developed sixth-generation Super CCD transforms light to digital signals more efficiently, achieving an unprecedented level of sensitivity for a compact digital still camera. Even the smallest amount of light is efficiently and accurately captured for processing as image elements. The new CCD also enhances imaging performance with reduced noise level, resulting in truly impressive picture quality.
Newly developed Real Photo Processor
Fujifilmīs own noise reduction technology effectively minimizes noise, resulting in enhanced color reproduction and gradation. The new cameras also offer improved accuracy and speed of auto-focus, especially in low light. Additionally, noise reduction is applied to movie capture, making it possible to capture clear, sharp moving images even at high-sensitivity sensitivities.
Additional new technology for improved picture-taking performance
Fujifilm has also developed the new 'Intelligent-Flash' system, which supports Real Photo Technology by measuring the subjects regardless their position within a frame and optimizing the amount of flash and the exposure level. With 'Intelligent-Flash' images are much less likely to be washed out and reproduce the skin tones and facial features accurately even at extremely high ISO setting. Taking digital photography to new levels with Fujifilms innovative Real Photo Technology, the FinePix F30 is scheduled for release at the end of May 2006.
