12.0 Megapixel Super CCD HR
The Finepix F50fd incorporates Fujifilm's innovative Super CCD sensor (featuring an octagonal pixel design), that allows you to capture superb highlights and shadow detail with a sensitivity up to ISO 6400, and delivers exceptional image quality, accurate details, smooth, attractive skin tones and true to life colors.
Fujinon 3x Zoom Lens
The 3x optical zoom aspherical Fujinon lens system incorporated into the FinePix F50fd is similar to those used widely in professional broadcast TV cameras, and provides high quality images with no optical distortions. The camera also has an 8.2x digital zoom that lets you get even closer with a combined zoom of over 24x.
Dual Image Stabilization
The FinePix F50fd gives you the best of both worlds where image stabilization is concerned. With industry standard mechanical image stabilization, the photographer's hand is steadied for a clearer, blur free shot. Add to that the addition of Fujifilm's 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.
High ISO Sensitivity
The FinePix F50fd and its Super CCD HR provide incredible light sensitivity while maintaining low image noise and accurate color with up to ISO 1600 available at full resolution. Additionally the camera can provide astounding sensitivity capability at lower resolutions with up to ISO 3200 at 6MP and ISO 6400 at 3MP. Now you can take natural light pictures under conditions where even human vision may have difficulty discerning the details.
Face Detection 2.0 with Automatic Red-Eye Removal
Face Detection 2.0 advances Face Detection technology to a whole new level. By combining our existing advanced Face Detection with advanced processing capabilities, Face Detection 2.0 delivers better recognition of faces, even at angles never able to be detected by previous 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!
i-Flash Intelligent Flash Technology
Fujifilm's i-Flash system ensures that your image is always properly exposed with just the right amount of light, resulting in more natural looking subjects and backgrounds that are bright and full of crisp detail.
Intuitive Mode Dial
The FinePix F50fd features an ergonomically designed and placed mode dial, so you can quickly select scene position modes using just your thumb.
15 Pre-programmed Scene Modes
The FinePix F50fd has 15 different easy-to-use scene modes that are easily accessed using the intuitive mode dial, so you'll always get the best possible image without having to make a lot of fine adjustments.
Full Manual Photographic Control
Take total control of the Fujifilm FinePix F50fd with manual adjustment options for settings on the camera including resolution, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and more - making the camera an indispensable tool for the photo enthusiasts or advanced photographer.
Beautiful design with "AERO" Form
The durable, all metal chassis provides greater durability than found with most ultra-compact cameras, and the graceful curves and sleek design mean that this camera can go with you to the family picnic or for a night out on the town.
Built-in Memory and Dual Media Slots
The FinePix F50fd includes 25MB of built-in memory so you'll be able to begin shooting, right out of the box. Plus the camera memory can be expanded to over 2GB with either an xD-Picture card or the popular Secure Digital (SD)card and even higher capacities are possible with Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) memory cards.
2.7" High Resolution LCD Display
A large, 2.7" high-resolution LCD display lets you compose your photos with ease in all kinds of lighting conditions, and adds to the pleasure of sharing photo playback with family and friends. Furthermore, the high resolution display permits a more sophisticated Graphical User Interface (GUI) with unique features like the Micro Thumbnail view and detailed on-screen user assist functions.
Micro Thumbnail View
View and select from up to 100 photos at a time, displayed in a 10x10 array - with the high resolution LCD, it is easy to scan the micro images and find the photos you want to share, quickly and efficiently.
USB 2.0 Interface and PictBridge Compatibility
With the fast USB 2.0 interface, you'll be able to transfer your images and video clips to your computer quickly and easily, or connect the camera to a PictBridge compliant printer and print your favorite images without a computer at all.
IrSimple Wireless Transfer
