Fujifilm’s new 18x superzoom is ideal for those who are looking for much more flexibility and zoom range than a compact can offer, but who don’t want the expense and bulk of a DSLR system.
The FinePix S1800 has a versatile Fujinon 18x zoom, 28mm wide-angle lens, HD image and video capture, and manual photographic controls, all combining to give users the freedom for photographic creativity.

However, for those whose approach to photography is more point-and-shoot, the S1800 can also happily be switched to "Auto" for hassle-free shooting and total peace of mind.

Tracking Auto Focus

Ideal when photographing subjects that won't keep still or for fast moving subjects and action shots. Tracking AF will ‘lock on’ to moving subjects and keep them in focus. Simply half press the shutter button and Tracking AF tracks your subject, then as soon as you fully press the shutter button you will capture a photo with the subject in the centre of the image and perfectly in focus. No more spoilt shots!

Panoramic Shooting Mode

Perfect for capturing sweeping landscapes or large group shots. Simply take three consecutive photos of your chosen scene and the camera will seamlessly stitch them together to create one impressive panoramic image and save it straight to the memory card, ready for you to print and frame for your front room wall!

Instant Zoom

A selectable frame on the LCD lets you bracket and track moving subjects in standard wide view and will then save it as a cropped image.

Zoom Bracketing Mode

Enables three shots to be taken at the single press of a button, each at varying degrees of magnification (original, 1.4x and 2.0x). This useful tool enables instant editing on the camera to choose the ideal shot, rather than having to go back to a PC to facilitate a digital crop.

Automatic Scene Recognition Technology

Intelligently, the FinePix S1800 can detect the scene type you are taking a picture of and optimises focus, exposure and white balance to guarantee a perfectly balanced shot. SR Auto knows if you are shooting in low-light or bright sunlight and automatically adjusts the settings accordingly to avoid spoilt shots and ensure you get the best out of your camera.

Smile Everyone!

Employ new Smile mode and the in-built "Smile Detection" will not take the photo until a smile is detected. All your pictures will be happy ones from now on!

Blink Detection

This fun new feature alerts the user of people blinking in a picture so you have the chance to retake the photo with everyone's eyes open and looking at the camera.

Perfect Portraits

Intelligent Face Detection technology can identify up to ten faces in the shot and optimises focus and exposure to ensure perfectly exposed faces. Combine this with automatic "red-eye" removal and your photos of your friends and family will be flawless from now on.

Mode Wheel & Scene Position

All the camera's different shooting modes are located on a convienient scroll wheel on the back of the camera so you can quickly and easily select your ideal mode. Within the Scene Position mode (SP) you can access 15 pre-programmed scene modes which allow you to really get creative with your photography!

Play back your images in style!

Customise how your images are played back to you, with a slideshow view that shows you close ups of each of the faces in your pictures.
