FUJIFILM IS-1 Digital Camera with Infra-Red Capability

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.
