Fujifilm are delighted to introduce the FinePix S8100fd; following in
the footsteps of its predecessor the FinePix S8000fd, this model offers
advanced features and huge zoom range at an affordable price.
Continuing on the success of the FinePix S8000fd, the 10 Megapixel
FinePix S8100fd integrates a Fujinon 18x wide angle optical zoom fixed
lens (27mm-486mm equivalent), while new Zoom Bracketing and Instant
Zoom modes give the user more flexibility than ever before.
All this is housed in a stylish, lightweight yet sturdy body that
proves to be an affordable alternative to the more complex DSLR system.
The FinePix S8100fd allows photo enthusiasts and advanced photographers
total control with manual adjustment options for the various camera
settings including resolution, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and more.
The FinePix S8100fd's 18x zoom lens – first seen on the FinePix S8000fd
- is ready for every possible photographic challenge, from landscapes
and interiors to wildlife and sports action.
A new Instant Zoom
function captures moving subjects at high zoom settings. After zooming
on a subject, a single button gives an additional 1.4x or 2x digital
zoom at the centre focus region of the frame.
Zoom Bracketing
performs a similar action using Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology to
lock its zoom action on a subject's face automatically as it enters the
shot.
Fujifilm's award-winning Face Detection Technology has enabled a
number of advanced features that will excite both novice and more
experienced photographers and make getting perfect portraits easier
than ever.
Fujifilm's Face Detection technology was originally
developed for the company's photofinishing division, where it was used
for reproducing the fine detail in people's faces in print.
It
works by triangulating eyes and mouth, using an algorithm to optimise
focus, white balance and exposure for up to ten faces in a single frame.
A
green square surrounds the face of the primary subject on the camera's
LCD screen, whilst white squares identify up to nine other subjects.
Movement tracking keeps the camera 'locked on' to its subjects until
they move out of the picture. The technology works irrespective of the
subject's position in the frame, and is not confused by people wearing
glasses.
The FinePix S8100fd also features the new fully automatic red-eye removal system.
Red
eye is the single biggest reason why the best portraits are ruined. The
FinePix S8100fd uses Face Detection technology to find and instantly
correct any red eye from every face in the frame as the shot is taken.
The
system on the FinePix S8100fd will only correct redness in the pupil of
the eye, not elsewhere in the picture, because the camera uses eye
detection within face detection to find the pupil. While other cameras
can sometimes convert lips or red jewellery to brown or blue, the
S8100fd never gets it wrong.
Intelligent Flash detects subtle lighting differences within a scene
and then varies the flash intensity accordingly. It also uses the high
sensitivity of the FinePix S8100fdto enable the camera to use less
flash, resulting in an image that displays natural tones without a
washed-out effect. With an automatic pop-up flash, it's always ready
when you need it.
Natural light plus Flash mode takes two photos
in quick succession - one with, and one without, flash. Both photos are
then displayed side by side for quick comparison so users won't miss
the moment fiddling about with flash settings.
The FinePix S8100fd features Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation
combining mechanical sensor shift stabilisation with Fujifilm's Picture
Stabilisation Technology, which uses fast shutter speeds and ISO levels
of up to ISO 6400 (at 5 Megapixels), for total anti-blur protection.
As a result the FinePix S8100fd produces sharp, blur-free photographs even in low light conditions.
The Super Macro Mode allows you to get up close to your subject, within
1cm (0.4 inch), making it easy to take high-impact full frame
close-ups; used with the ‘Auction Mode’ you have the perfect
combination to capture detailed imagery for your next upload to ebay.
The 2.5 inch LCD can display up to 100 images simultaneously enabling
you to use this micro-thumbnail view to immediately select specific
photos to share with friends or to select to print.
The LCD is
coated with Wide View Film, offering an expanded viewing angle that
comes in handy when composing the image or in playback.
A Continuous Shooting Mode makes it easy to shoot moving subjects
such as pets, children and sports. This improved feature allows
high-speed shooting of up to 33 frames at 13.5 frames per second.*
With high-speed playback at 10 frames per second you can be sure you've captured all of the action.
*at 3 megapixels. 6.8 frames per second at 5 megapixels
A new high-speed preview function allows you to immediately view the
entire contents of your memory card, making it easy to retrieve images.
With this function, images can be played back at a speed of approx 10
frames pre second. When used to stream a sequence shot in continuous
shooting mode it gives the impression that you are viewing a movie.
