If versatility & functionality are what you are looking for then the FinePix S1500 is the camera for you. This superzoom camera is surprisingly compact; especially when you consider that it packs a massive 12x zoom.

Thanks to its small size and light weight it is easily portable, making it a top choice for days out with the family, weekends away with a loved one, day-to-day snapping or to advance your photographic skills.

There's AUTO mode, ideal for those who want an easy-to-use camera, or for those who want to get creative with their photography there's the option of Aperture and Shutter Priority modes. Either way, you'll get great photos you can treasure forever.

Instant zoom

Instant zoom makes it easy to frame and compose shots of moving subjects at high zoom settings. A selectable frame on the LCD screen lets you track your subject & when the shutter is released, Instant zoom boosts the zoom ratio and captures only the selected area as a full sized image.

NEW Tracking Auto Focus

Normally only found on digital SLRs, the Tracking Auto Focus function tracks the subject automatically for as long as the shutter is half-pressed and the subject is kept inside the frame. This ensures your subject is kept in Focus even when the zoom range is fully extended.

Impressive Panoramas

To capture sweeping scenery or large groups of people, the new Panoramic Shooting Mode makes it very easy to create impressive panoramic shots. Panorama Shooting captures and combines a maximum of three consecutive shots at 3 Megapixel resolution, which are saved to the memory card as one panoramic picture.

Continuous Shooting & High Speed image playback

Continuous Shooting makes it easy to capture sporting events or other action scenes at 13.5 frames per second in a burst. Once you’ve taken your shots, High Speed Playback lets you view them as a streaming sequence (10 frames per second) that resembles a video.

This function also lets you scroll through the content of your memory card for quick and easy image retrieval.

Automatic Scene Detection

Now it's easier than ever to get stunning shots. Scene Recognition AUTO cleverly detects the scene being photographed and the camera automatically chooses the best focus and exposure for the scene to reveal stunning photos. The six scene modes are Landscape, Macro, Portrait, Night, Backlit Portrait and Night Portrait.

Portrait

Recognises portrait shots by detecting that there are faces in the frame and optimising focus, brightness and white balance accordingly.

Landscape

Automatically recognises scenic shots such as mountains and buildings. Ensures that vivid colours are captured & adds depth to your pictures.

Night

For low-light and night time scenarios, shutter speed and sensitivity are automatically adjusted, producing blur-free pictures with minimal noise.

Macro

Macro mode sets the focusing position of the details of small flowers or tiny subjects accurately.

Backlit Portrait

Optimises the brightness of the faces in the picture (that would usually end up in shadow) and compensates for the underexposure caused by the light behind.

Night Portrait

When photographing people at night or in low light, SR Auto optimises flash range, shutter speed, and the exposure of the portrait, whilst capturing a smooth and noiseless background.

Anti-blur technology

The FinePix S1500 features Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation, which combines a mechanically stabilised Super CCD sensor with high ISO sensitivities, (up to ISO6400), for total anti-blur protection.

The combination of these technologies reduces the blurring effects of both hand-shake and subject movement (which often occur when shooting at full zoom ranges) even further to provide the highest quality digital pictures, with sharp, clean results no matter what the shooting conditions.

Great Low-light Photos

Shooting in low-light conditions is always challenging, and when using a flash can often result in over-highlighted, washed-out subjects. This is where a camera’s sensitivity to light becomes key.

The FinePix S1500 reaches a maximum ISO of 6400 at 3MP resolution which means it’s capable of detecting and recording even more detail in low light. It enables you to take natural, lifelike photos in limited light conditions, without the need for flash. (*at 3MP resolution)

Face Detection

Instantly identifies faces and automatically optimises focus and exposure to ensure attractive portraits every time.

Ban Red-eye for good!

Automatic red-eye removal boosts your reputation for great indoor portraits and party pictures by detecting and correction the unsightly red-eye reflections that can often spoil flash photos.

Make a Movie

Sometimes photos just aren't enough to capture those special moments. With the FinePix S1500 you can make your own 60 second movie clip with sound, and even use the impressive 12x zoom during recording.
