From the Manufacturer
The FinePix Z5fd is small enough that it will fit
easily into a pocket or the most minimalist of clutch bags. It features
the traditional 'Z' series sliding lens cover, with a 'Z5' motif that
lights up in operation, 2.5-inch scratch resistant LCD screen, and
non-extending Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens so that it will emerge
unscathed from even the most cluttered of spaces.
Face Detection
Fujifilm was the first
manufacturer to develop hardware-based Face Detection technology for
its compact digital cameras. The FinePix Z5fd joins the FinePix S6500fd
and F31fd in Fujifilm's current 'fd' line-up. Face Detection captures
up to ten faces in a frame and optimizes focus and exposure to take the
best possible people-picture. Incorporating the technology on its Real
Photo Processor II has enabled Fujifilm to develop a range that can
detect faces and optimize settings in an industry-leading 0.05 seconds.
When Face Detection is turned on and the camera
is pointed at people, target-like squares demonstrate that it has
'locked-on' to faces. The square will then follow those faces around in
real-time until they move out of the frame or the picture is taken. In
playback mode, pressing the Face Detection button will cause the camera
to auto-zoom to each face in turn for easy close-up review.
Face Detection is perfect for those times,
such as nights out with friends, when tweaking manual settings to get
the same result may not be the user's first priority. It can cope with
back-lit scenes, settings where there's a more obvious focus point
between people's faces or when the subject is off center.
Real Photo Technology
Fujifilm's
Real Photo Technology (RPT) is the combination of lens, CCD and
processor that helps the camera produce images of impressive quality,
no matter where you take it. Fujifilm's sixth generation Super CCD HR
is a unique hexagonal shape, with a larger surface area than
traditional sensors, enabling it to capture more light from the Fujinon
lens. The Real Photo Processor II enables impressive operation speed
and features an enhanced dual-noise reduction system that maximizes the
effectiveness of the camera's high ISO capability.
A camera for any occasion
In
addition to its portability, the FinePix Z5fd features a host of unique
Fujifilm technologies that make it the perfect take-anywhere camera.
ISO 1600 light-sensitivity at full resolution enables it to take photos
in low light without flash and with less noise than competing models
might produce at a lower ISO. Flash-free images are much more faithful
to the original scene, with skin tones looking more natural and no loss
of background detail. In addition, because the sensor's unique shape
enables it to capture light more quickly, it is possible to use higher
shutter speeds without image blurring.
For better results with flash photography,
Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system analyzes 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.
Natural Light and Flash mode goes one step
further, taking two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one
without. Both images are then displayed on the camera's screen for easy
review.
With 14 special scene modes, including
Fireworks and Beach and Snow, the FinePix Z5fd offers a one-touch
setting for any situation. Continuous shooting keeps the camera
shooting for as long as the shutter button is pressed down. Once
released, the camera retains either the first or last three images for
excellent natural shots.
The FinePix Z5fd records movies at 30 frames
per second (fps) with sound. Movie recording time is limited only by
the size of the xD-Picture Card used in the camera.
Blog mode--for the My Space generation
The
FinePix Z5fd features Fujifilm's new blog mode. In this mode the camera
adjusts image settings for posting online. With the increasing
popularity of blogging, Internet messaging, and sites such as
MySpace.com, Fujifilm expects blog mode to be a well-used feature on
the FinePix Z5fd.
