The Z20fd has all the power of Real Photo Technology. The guiding principles behind RPT are simple; to set the highest possible standards for overall image quality, to expand digital photography opportunities and to give you fewer wasted shots

With the human eye as the ideal, Real Photo Technology cameras are designed from the ground up to capture 'real' photographs with stunning quality - giving you the power to capture the moment exactly as the eye sees it, no matter how challenging the shooting conditions.

The FinePix Z20fd boasts Fujifilm's acclaimed ultra-fast Face Detection technology, which will seek out faces in the darkness of a party to give perfectly focused and exposed pictures every time.

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 regardless of the subject's position in the frame, and is not confused by anyone wearing glasses.

Red-eye is the single biggest reason why the best portraits are ruined. The FinePix Z20fd uses Face Detection technology to find and instantly correct any red-eye from every face in the frame. Getting the camera's on-board processor to do this fiddly retouch is so much easier (and accurate) than trying to do it on a complex photo manipulation package.

The system on the FinePix Z20fd 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 Z20fd never gets it wrong, and it only takes a couple of seconds.

This camera continues the Fujifilm tradition of offering the user choice about lighting, and those who prefer to use flash will benefit from Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system.

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 Z20fd to enable the camera to use less flash, preventing that "blasted with light" effect that so many digital camera flashes leave you with.

For times when it's not clear whether flash is appropriate, the FinePix Z20fd's Natural Light & Flash mode takes two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one without. Both photos are then displayed side by side for quick comparison so that you can decide which one to keep.

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.

The Picture Stabilisation mode on the Z20fd uses high sensitivity (up to 1600 ISO) to help reduce camera shake, freeze subject movement and improve low-light background detail to deliver virtually blur free images.

There's no fun in taking pictures if you can't share them, and the FinePix Z20fd makes it easier than ever with fast, easy wireless transfer of images between cameras using IrSimple.

For users wanting to share their creative output with a wider audience, the FinePix Z20fd's new Dual Blog mode automatically resizes any still image or movie you've captured, letting you post pictures and videos to blogs, video-sharing websites like YouTube, or e-mail to friends with ease.

The Z10fd even features an Auction mode, which will group a series of pictures ready for upload to eBay.
