Newly developed Super CCD VIII "HR" Sensor with 11.1 Megapixles
The FinePix S100 FS is a superzoom digital camera with composite lens for nature photography. The CCD, image processor, the
lens to take in the light, etc., of the FinePix S100 FS were all optimally designed under a new concept. The CCD sensor, the
core unit of the FinePix S100 FS, is a newly developed Super CCD VIII "HR". The light receptor area is expanded because of the
large 2/3-inch CCD with about 11.1 million effective pixels. FUJIFILM’s unique octagonal shape helps to maintain high pixel numbers
and enhance the light collection efficiency and light capture efficiency per pixel. The CCD materializes high resolution and high
sensitivity with low noise and creates high resolving power which thoroughly expresses the details of
subjects and has rich tonal expression with an extended Dynamic Range.
Wide Angle 28mm - Telephoto 400mm Super Zoom
The FinePix S100 FS incorporates a high-magnification 14.3x zoom lens which covers a broad zoom range from a wide angle of 28mm to long telephoto of
400mm and Super Macro for shots as close as 1cm from the subject (wide angle end). Manual zoom allows freedom of zooming and precise framing.
10 group, 13 element structure. Exclusive design with a non-spherical surface lens and anomalous dispersion lens.
This 28mm - 400mm zoom lens with a 10 group and 13 element structure, exclusively designed for the FinePix S100 FS, uses a
non-spherical sur face lens and an anomalous dispersion lens. The non-spherical surface lens suppresses distortion and the curved
sur face is ideal for efficient focusing of light onto one point, so it realizes high optical performance with a small number of elements. In
addition, the anomalous dispersion lens compensates for chromatic aberration well and reduces color drift and mixing on contours — a common problem with telephoto lenses.
The lens demonstrates high resolving power and excellent depiction over the entire zoom range. The lens produces clear images by suppressing reflected light
inside the lens barrel and by thoroughly eliminating ghost images and flare, which is made possible through multiple coatings.
Raw mode enables image adjustment without deterioration.
You can obtain the original data output by the newly developed Super CCD VIII “HR” in RAW mode and make adjustments to the data
images without any loss in quality to produce the photos you intend. (RAW processing is possible with the included software.)
Lens hood allows filter adjustment in position
The FinePix S100 FS lens hood is specially designed as an accessory for a digital camera for nature photography.
There is a square window in the lower part of the lens hood to allow adjustments of lens filters such as polarizing filters,
that vibrantly modify scenery photos, without removing the hood.
1/4,000 second high-shutter speed. Bulb exposure possible.
You can set shutter speeds of between 1/4,000 second and 30 seconds. Shutter time lag is less than 0.01 seconds. It is
possible to take photos of diverse expression with combinations of ISO sensitivity, which has a broad range of setting choices, and multiple apertures of between F2.8 - F11
at 1/3EV steps. Using the manual exposure setting, bulb exposure of up to 30 seconds is possible.
Face Detection 2.0 with Auto Red-Eye Removal
Face Detection 2.0 by Fujifilm advances Face Detection technology to a new level. By combining our existing advanced Face Detection with new processing capabilities, Face Detection 2.0 delivers better recognition of faces, even at angles never able to be detected by other systems. Additionally, Face Detection 2.0 allows for other useful features to be added such as Automatic Red-Eye Removal. The most advanced Face Detection technology available today!
The Face Detection area is significantly expanded for this system, which is effective for taking high-quality portraits.
Dual Image Stabilization
The FinePix S100fs gives you the best of both worlds where image stabilization is concerned. With industry standard optical image stabilization, the photographer's hand is steadied for a clearer, blur free shot. Add to that Fujifilm’s high sensitivity leveraging Picture Stabilization Technology, and increased clarity and sharpness is achieved, even in low light conditions or when shooting moving subjects. The combination of the two is the ultimate in stabilization technology.
Wide Dynamic Range up to 400%
Now, get the dynamic range that pro photographers demand, without paying the price. Originally developed for Fujifilm's S5Pro DSLR, the technology that allows the extreme dynamic range capability of the S100FS allows photographers to capture every nuance of highlight and shadow in high contrast scenes. Users may select from several settings that will capture detail and contrast like never before.
Film Simulation Modes Offer Pro Photographic Characteristics
Fujifilm's unique Film Simulation Modes allow photographers to select a film-like character for the scene with a choice of four modes: "Velvia", "Provia", "Soft", and "Portrait". Each mode offers a subtle but unique change in tone and color reproduction, emulating the original qualities of the highly regarded Fujifilm professional film products that inspire professional photographers the world over.
Multi Bracketing Functions
Fujifilm's new Multi Bracketing function; "Dynamic Range Bracketing", "Film Simulation Bracketing", and "Auto Exposure Bracketing" automatically varies the settings, and three frames are taken continuously with a single shutter release. Photographers can concentrate on getting the perfect shot, and decide later which image best captures the moment.
