The Fujifilm Programmed Bar Code Reader Kit for the Fujifilm S5 Pro SLR Digital Camera is particulary usefull to event and school photographers by providing the ability to attach a bar code reader wand directly to the FinePix S5 Pro via the 10-pin serial port on the camera. The bar codes are then stored directly in the image file's EXIF header so that images can later be linked to a school, hotel, cruise ship or other name database. readable barcodes include driver's licenses, employee IDs, automotive VIN tags, credit cards, evidence tags, or any associated object with a bar code can be recorded directly to the camera.
The S5 Pro's bar code reader functionality combined with unique features of the camera such as password protected feature and control lockout, film simulation modes, iTTL commander flash control, and white balance and color fine tune adjustments, can be employed to help enable flawless deployment of the Fujifilm S5 Pro in a multiple photographer environment, by reducing errors caused by changing the camera's programmed setup, and can provide significant improvements in the efficiency of your workflow.
