The new FinePix F40fd is the latest in Fujifilm's flagship range of F series compact digital cameras. Featuring Fujifilm's proprietary Real Photo Processor II, Super CCD HR VI and hardware-based Face Detection, the new model continues the F series tradition of delivering sophisticated technology in a smart compact body.
Added to this, ISO 2000 sensitivity at full 8.3 megapixel resolution, 3.0x optical zoom lens and 300 shot battery life make it perfect for prolific snappers or enthusiast photographers who need a high-performance take-anywhere digital camera.
The FinePix F40fd is Fujifilm's fourth digital camera to feature hard-wired Face Detection technology, joining best-selling FinePix S6500fd, F31fd and Z5fd models. Most photos are taken of people in low light conditions and these are the situations when most photos go wrong. Face Detection ensures the camera prioritises faces in the frame and will adjust the focus, exposure and flash to ensure that you take a perfect picture every time.
An intuitive icon based graphical user interface confirms shooting modes, scene positions, or control settings with brief explanations on the LCD screen. Easy-to-read icon and text description of the selected mode help you choose and confirm the optimum setting for best results. This takes much of the guesswork out of digital camera operation.
For better results with flash photography, Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system analyses the scene and automatically controls flash power output. The result is balanced exposure where the scene is sufficiently illuminated, without washing out the foreground in the picture, or losing background detail.
Users will immediately appreciate the benefits of Fujifilm's Super CCD sensor. The increased surface area means it is more sensitive to light, enabling faster shutter speeds to help reduce image blur and the need for flash when taking photos in low light.
