The Fujifilm IS-1 Digital Camera is specially designed to photograph subjects in both normal visible light and in the near infra-red range (400nm-900nm). This makes it well suited for forensic or scientific applications as well as creative infra-red photography.

The camera features Fujifilm's Super CCD HR sensor and Real Photo Processor, delivering IS0 1600 performance and enabling capture of crisp and clear images even in low light conditions. The camera's 10.7x (28-300mm 35mm equivalent) zoom lens incorporates aspherical elements that result in a sharper image and minimizes distortion and aberrations. The lens is easily controlled via a manual zoom ring to give pinpoint accuracy when composing images. Furthermore, its fixed housing ensures that users do not have to contend with specks of dust or dirt collecting on the sensor. This can compromise image quality and is a drawback often associated with conventional digital SLRs.

Image quality in the IS-1 has been enhanced through improvements to its processing algorithms, and composition of photographs is made easy with a two-inch tilting LCD monitor which provides clear, flexible shooting at awkward high or low angles. In addition, the camera has 0.01 second shutter-lag and 0.8 second start-up time, which means that images can be composed and captured almost instantaneously. Additionally, the high ISO performance, helps to combat image blur caused by subject movement as well as camera shake.

• Shoot in Infra-Red, Normal, or Both

The Fujifilm IS-1 is sensitive to a broad range of light frequencies (400nm - 900nm) covering the full range of visible light as well as the near infra-red range. Specific wavelengths can be isolated and captured from daylight or artificial light sources via lens filtering or by use of an Alternative Light Source (ALS) such as a forensic crime scope. The IS-1's on camera flash provides a limited amount of IR light and can be used to increase available light when filtering the lens for IR. Unfiltered color images will retain a pink hue due to the added presence of increased red and infrared light captured. Adding a hot mirror filter or UVIR cut filter to remove the presence of IR light is recommended when attempting to shoot "Normal" light images.

• 9 Megapixel Super CCD HR Sensor

The 9 Megapixel, 5th Generation Super CCD HR sensor provides the highest resolution available in a consumer digital camera. You'll be able to produce photo quality prints at sizes up to 20x30 inches, or crop images while maintaining an astounding level of detail. In addition, the natural low noise signature of the Fujifilm Super CCD HR produces high quality high resolution images even in the infrared light band.

• Wide Angle Fujinon 10.7x Zoom Lens

The IS-1 features a 10.7x Wide Angle Optical Zoom with a focal range equivalent of 28mm - 300mm compared to 35mm film. The lens is also equipped with a 58mm Filter mount to add IR and IR-Cut filters as well as any other effects filters available. Furthermore, the Fujinon lens has superb macro capability with a Super Macro mode that enables the IS-1 to focus clearly as close up as 0.4" to the subject.

• Real Photo Processor

Real Photo Technology captures treasured moments just as your eye sees them. Combining the new RP Processor, 5th Generation Super CCD-HR Sensor and Fujinon Lens Optics, the IS-1 delivers ultra-high sensitivity with low noise, faster operational speeds and reduced power consumption. This allows you to capture priceless memories of photographs with every nuance of light and color, even in low light situations without a flash. Furthermore, the IS-1 incorporates a focus assist beam that will be able to provide automatic focus even in low light conditions.

• Intelligent Flash system

The FinePix IS-1 features the Fujifilm Intelligent Flash system, which delivers balanced flash power output. Historically, using flash at night has resulted in unsatisfying backgrounds, be it the black, underexposed appearance of conventional flash or the blurred 'swirl' of slow-sync flash. By comparison, Intelligent Flash means that images captured in low light have not only a blur-free well-exposed background but also natural-looking foreground illumination, free from the stark brightness that can be a by-product of flash photography.

• Broad Range of Sensitivity

The camera has a very wide range of sensitivity setting available ranging from an equivalent ISO of 80 through to ISO 1600. Use the sensitivity setting of ISO 1600 at full resolution for low light photography with reduced noise or the Low sensitivity of ISO 80 for ultra-high quality photography. Furthermore, the camera has improved autofocus response time in low light conditions.

• Anti-Blur Program

A built-in Anti-Blur Program takes advantage of the Real Photo technology to automatically suppress blurring due to "camera shake" or subject movement in low light situations. The result is beautiful photos every time.

• Auto and Manual Focusing

The state-of-the-art auto focus system makes focusing quicker and more precise than ever with continuous auto focusing mode. In addition an AF-Assist Illuminator assures accurate focus - even in low light. The Camera also includes a manual focus ring for greater creative control, and the live CCD preview mode on the cameras LCD monitor is helpful when focusing.

• Natural Light Mode

Just select "Natural Light" Mode and the camera will automatically suppress the flash and adjust sensitivity up to ISO 1600 to compensate for low-light situations, letting you easily take photos in a variety of indoor or outdoor situations and capture the image in full detail just as your eye sees it - without using a flash.

• Closed Unit Design

Because the lens is permanently attached and the image chamber is completely sealed, there is no need to be concerned about dust getting onto the image sensor.

• xD-Picture and CompactFlash Media

Equipped with dual media slots for handling of xD-Picture Cards and Compact Flash/Microdrives, the IS-1 lets you concentrate on shooting without worrying about storage space. You can even insert media cards in each slot and then select which one you want to use to store each image as you shoot.

• Easy To Use

The IS-1 offers "point and shoot" simplicity in full auto mode as well as manual, macro, movie and 4 pre-programmed position modes (Natural Light, Portrait, Sports and Night). These scene modes allow you to get the shot you want anytime at any moment. For the aspiring photographer, the IS-1 gives you the ability to manually control settings to explore the wonderful world of photography. In addition, ultra-fast response times (0.01 second shutter lag and 0.8 second start-up) means that you'll never miss that spontaneous shot.

• 2.0" Tilting LCD Display and EVF Viewfinder

The Tilting 2.0" LCD makes it easy to frame your shot from a variety of shooting positions. And thanks to the LCD gain up control, you'll be able to view the LCD in bright and low light conditions. The viewfinder is electronic with 235,000 pixel resolution and provides 100% coverage.

• Confirm Your Exposure

The camera has a live histogram that provides exposure setting checks prior to shooting, and an in-camera highlight warning function that alerts the user to overexposed areas of just-taken pictures. There is also a Highlight Warning feature that displays highlight areas that may be out of gamut during playback.

• Hyper Utility Software HS-V2

Photo Enthusiast photographers will appreciate the Hyper Utility Software HS-V2 v.3.0 that is bundled with the IS-1. This software gives full functionality in RAW file conversion, which enables the photographer to explore the control and flexibility enjoyed when working with a 'lossless' file format. In addition, the camera also includes a USB driver, FinePix Viewer ImageMixer VCD2 for FinePix and RAW File Converter LE.

• Direct Print Capable

The IS-1 supports PictBridge, which lets you directly connect to any PictBridge-enabled printer and print right from the Camera - No computer necessary.

Note: Unfiltered color images will retain a pink hue due to the added presence of increased red and infrared light captured. A great deal of this cast can be eliminated by adding a hot mirror filter or UVIR cut filter to remove the presence of IR light.

Note: Because of the wide range of light spectrums captured, focusing and exposure may often need to be done manually. However if enough visible light is available, the auto focusing will work.

Note: I-Flash is not fully functional when the lens is filtered for IR capture only.
