A real little winner
There are still people who believe that more pixels equal better image quality. However, most knowledgeable photography enthusiasts have agreed that 6 million pixels represent a sufficiently large file size to achieve large prints. What really counts in delivering quality images is the quality of the sensor and the processing, as with the FinePix Z5fd.

This model has been described as a 'compact, technological marvel that combines elegant design with a host of practical features,' and as a result has just been awarded the Best Ultra Compact Digital Camera 2007 by TIPA.

Face Detection Technology
At the push of a button, the FinePix Z5's Face Detection Technology will detect the main subjects in a scene and adjust for focus, exposure and flash to ensure a perfect picture every time. After the picture is taken, headshots can be quickly reviewed to check facial detail (for instance, to see if the subject's eyes were open or closed).

Unlike conventional AF that targets mainly subjects in the centre, Face Detection instantly and accurately identifies faces anywhere in the scene and brings them into clear focus.

Depending on the brightness of detected faces, Face Detection optimises face exposure, or automatically activates Intelligent Flash, which adjusts sensitivity and flash output for ideal subject exposure.

Fujifilm's Face Detection chip is hard-wired onto the camera's circuit board and detects faces in as little as 0.05 seconds.

Real Photo Technology
Fujifilm's Real Photo Technology (RPT) is the combination of lens, CCD and processor that helps the camera produce images of exceptional quality. Fujifilm's sixth generation Super CCD HR is a unique hexagonal shape, with a larger surface area than traditional sensors, enabling it to capture more light from the Fujinon lens.

The Real Photo Processor II enables impressive operation speed and features an enhanced dual-noise reduction system that maximises the effectiveness of the camera's high ISO capability. This allows you to capture priceless memories with every nuance of light and color, even in low light situations without flash.

Intelligent Flash
For better results with flash photography, Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system analyses the scene and automatically controls flash power output. The result is balanced exposure where the scene is sufficiently illuminated without washing out the foreground in the picture or losing background detail.

Natural Light & Flash mode goes one step further, taking two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one without. Both images are then displayed on the camera's screen for easy review.

Capturing the moving image
With a quick and easy touch of a button, you can capture all the action for the best blur-free shots.

The Picture Stabilisation mode on the Z5fd 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.

Movie mode
The FinePix Z5fd records movies at 30 fps with sound (AVI format), so you can use it instead of your camcorder! Movie recording time is limited only by the size of the xD-Picture Card used in the camera. A 2GB card can record almost 30 minutes of high-quality 680 x 480 movie.

Now you can post pictures to Blogs, Websites, or Auctions or email with ease. The Z5fd features a new Blog Mode feature that will automatically resize any image you've captured to a 640x480 (VGA) image size, right in the camera, with the touch of a button! Your original high resolution image is saved, and an additional VGA image file is created for use in web applications or email where smaller file sizes and faster load times are needed. No editing software or additional work is necessary. Just push the button and upload!
