The ultra-slim Fujifilm FinePix Z100fd Digital Camera has an all metal body that will turn heads whenever and wherever it is used. And despite being less than 1" thick, it is packed with state-of-the-art technology and advanced features. The camera has a resolution of up to 8 megapixels for detailed images and poster size prints, and it includes a 5x optical zoom lens, Fujifilm's acclaimed Face Detection system, intelligent red-eye removal and Dual Image Stabilization with CCD-shift image stabilization.
The slender design of the FinePix Z100fd includes a unique 'diagonal slide' lens cover, and is almost totally flat, so that the camera can be carried in a shirt or jacket pocket, yet it boasts an impressive 5x optical zoom lens covering a wide zoom range equivalent to 35 - 177mm on a 35mm camera. To avoid the problems of camera shake at longer focal length the camera features CCD-shift image stabilization. To further reduce the chance of blur spoiling shots in low light the FinePix Z100fd also features sensitivity settings up to ISO 1600, allowing natural images that retain the atmosphere of evening events to be taken without the use of flash.
If a Flash is needed, Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system sets the power output to achieve natural foreground illumination with balanced background exposure. Intelligent Flash results in visibly more pleasing, natural looking photos, avoiding the harsh lighting effect that can occur with traditional in-camera flash. There is also a Natural Light plus Flash mode that takes two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one without. Both photos are then displayed side by side for quick comparison so users won't miss the moment while fiddling with flash settings.
The FinePix Z100fd is very easy to use, and it makes perfect portraits simple with Fujifilm's Face Detection technology. Face Detection works by using an algorithm to optimize focus, white balance and exposure for up to ten faces in a single frame, while movement tracking keeps the camera 'locked on' to its subjects until they move out of the picture. Automatic red eye removal works in tandem with the Face Detection system to find and instantly correct any red eye from every face in the frame, and releives you from having to manually remove red eye on your PC. The camera also has 16 scene modes that include selections such as beach, party and fireworks for optimum photography, no matter what the event.
The FinePix Z100fd features a large high-resolution 2.7 inch (230,000 pixel) LCD screen with a reinforced glass coating for scratch-free durability. A redesigned graphical user interface and control layout ensures that the powerful feature set remains easy to use even for the novice digital camera user, and a micro thumbnail view (showing 100 shots on one screen) and control wheel makes sharing the largest collection of images a pleasure. The camera also has dual card slots for Dual xD-Picture Card and SD/SDHC compatibility to provide the user with the freedom to choose from a wide range of high capacity memory cards.
