Fujifilm FinePix Z10FD Light Green
Real Photo Technology.
The Z10fd 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.
Ultra-fast Face Detection.
The FinePix Z10fd 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.
Say goodbye to red-eye for good.
Red-eye is the single biggest reason why the best portraits are ruined. The FinePix Z10fd 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 Z10fd 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 Z10fd never gets it wrong, and it only takes a couple of seconds.
Making light work of photography.
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 automatically assesses the scene and sets power output so that it provides enough light for the photo, without giving friends the ghostly bleached-out look that can occur with built-in flash.
For times when it's not clear whether flash is appropriate, the FinePix Z10fd'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 and one or the other can be deleted at a later date.
Anti blur.
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 Z10fd 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.
Versatile Shooting Modes.
No matter what the event or where you travel, your Finepix Z10fd is ready with easy–to–select modes bringing you a simple point-and-shoot camera with automated professional settings. Simply choose a Scene Position that suits the situation and you have the ideal settings for everything from shutter speed and exposure to white balance at your fingertips ready to capture the image.
The display of helpful descriptions of each mode and Scene Position make it simple to explore the versatility of the Z10fd, and with 18 special scene position modes, including, Snow, Night, Beach and Party, the FinePix Z10fd is ideally suited to any photo opportunity.
When a still image isn't sufficient, the camera'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.
Photo sharing made simple.
There's no fun in taking pictures if you can't share them, and the FinePix Z10fd 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 Z10fd's unique 'Blog' mode is ideal for producing photographs for use on social networking sites or other online activities. And for the YouTube™ generation the Z10fd offers the option to capture internet-friendly QVGA movie clips in addition to sharp, colourful still photographs.
The Z10fd even features an Auction mode, which will group a series of pictures ready for upload to eBay.
Micro thumbnail view.
The 2.5 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.
In addition you can bring your photos to life by creating your own slide shows by selecting to show images of close up portraits, or view multiple images in a scrapbook style. You can even add a soundtrack to further enhance your image viewing pleasure.
