Fujifilm are delighted to introduce the FinePix F60fd, the successor to the hugely popular FinePix F50fd. Packed with innovative technology and introducing exclusive new features, the FinePix F60fd is designed to make it easier than ever to get perfect pictures and stunning portraits in even the most challenging situations.

The all-new sleek and slim metal body is a mere 22.9mm thick and the 'Aero curve' design means that the FinePix F60fd isn't just capable of taking beautiful pictures; it's stylish and slim enough to slip into any pocket or purse.

For those of you that like to get creative with your photography the FinePix F60fd has the option of full control, and performs equally well if you choose to rely on auto mode.

Face Detection 3.0 – from any angle

The FinePix F60fd is equipped with Face Detection 3.0 technology, which goes one step further by recognising faces at more extreme angles.

As with the original version of Face Detection, it can detect up to 10 faces in a scene in as little as 0.036 seconds, automatically correcting focus, exposure, and white balance, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. Face Detection 3.0 can register faces with up to 90 degree movement in either direction for profiles, and with rotations of up to 360 degrees.

Say goodbye to red eye for good

Once your image has been captured, the system instantly corrects red-eye and then saves both the original and the corrected image file automatically.

The FinePix F60fd red eye removal system is not confused by lips or red coloured jewellery, as some other systems can be, as it works in tandem with Fujifilm's Face Detection system to identify eyes and nothing else. Letting the camera do this retouching is so much quicker and easier than struggling at home with a paintbrush on a PC!

Select SR AUTO and be sure to get your shot

In a first for Fujifilm cameras, the FinePix F60fd is equipped with Scene Recognition technology which cleverly detects a scene without the need of pre-selecting the mode on the camera. SR AUTO recognises Night, Landscape. Portrait and Macro scenes.

Simply select SR AUTO and the camera automatically sets the appropriate shutter speed, exposure and white balance to ensure that you get the most of your photography; more stunning pictures with less hassle.

Portrait Enhancer

The FinePix F60fd features 'Portrait Enhancer Mode' designed to transform a snapshot into an exceptional portrait. In this mode the FinePix F60fd's powerful automatic retouching system gives skin tones a silky-smooth texture and removes blemishes such as spots and wrinkles.

Once they've seen the beautiful skin tones produced by the Portrait Enhancer, the loved ones in your life will never again hide their faces whenever you get your camera out!

NEW Dual Image Stabilisation

As well as offering class-leading high ISO performance for avoiding subject blur when shooting in low light, the FinePix F60fd also features CCD-shift image stabilisation for avoiding the effects of camera shake at longer shutter speeds. This combination offers a complete system for avoiding blur caused by hand shake or subject motion.

Never before have compact cameras offered such a comprehensive solution for avoiding blurred results whilst retaining high-resolution photographic quality.

Making light work of photography

For those occasions when flash is required, Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system sets the power output to achieve natural foreground illumination with balanced background exposure.

Avoiding both the messy background blur of 'slow-sync' flash, and the stark contrast of conventional flash, Intelligent Flash results in visibly more pleasing, natural looking photos.

For times when a decision about lighting could mean a missed photo opportunity, the FinePix F60fd's Natural Light plus Flash mode takes two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one without, then displays them side-by-side for instant comparison.

‘A’and ‘S’ modes

For the more advanced user the FinePix F60fd also features Aperture and Shutter Priority modes for total creative control.

For those of you that are not familiar with these terms, ‘A’ Aperture-priority and ‘S’ Shutter-priority auto exposure modes let you explore your creativity. Selecting ‘A’ mode adds dimension to your photo by increasing or decreasing the depth of field, while ‘S’ mode allows you to maximise action shots by freezing motion or creating motion blur.

Continuous Shooting Mode

The F60fd allows you to shoot up to 12 frames in a burst* (at 5 frames per second), even if the subject is moving. This fantastic mode therefore gives you 5 times the chance of capturing that one special moment.

*at 3MP or lower

Movie Capture

When a still image isn't sufficient, the FinePix F60fd’s movie mode, at 30 frames per second, captures movie clips with sound that are limited in length only by the size of memory card used.

Playback Features, Zoom Up and Cropping

Thanks to Fujifilms proprietary Super CCD technology delivering a stunning 12 megapixel resolution, you are able to crop and enlarge any part of your captured image without experiencing any loss of quality.

Once you’ve captured your group portrait you can use the handy ‘Zoom Up’ feature, which allows you to detect faces in playback mode so that you can check them one by one and ensure that you have captured the image as you intended it.

If you spy a priceless expression amongst your group portrait that stands out from the crowd, then simply select the built in ‘Cropping’ function, which will allow you to automatically crop and save the selected portrait in the camera.

Micro Thumbnails

The 3-inch LCD screen allows you to view your images comfortably. It displays your pictures in a number of alternative ways and enables you to navigate up to 100 thumbnail images in a 10 x 10 array.

Further to this, a new sort by date system has been added so that you have even more control over how you store and sort your images.
