Fujifilm Holdings (MM) (NASDAQ:FUJI)
Historical Stock Chart
From May 2019 to May 2024
FUJIFILM U.S.A, Inc. today announced the launch of the latest in its
ultra-compact, trendsetting Z-series – the
FinePix Z100fd. Continuing on from where the popular FinePix Z5fd
left off, the FinePix Z100fd comes in four stunning color
combinations and is sure to be a hit with those who care as much about
their own image as they do about the images they shoot.
Feature Packed
Despite being only 19.8mm thick, the 8-MegaPixel FinePix Z100fd
is packed with state-of-the-art technologies and features. These include
a mid-range Fujinon 5x optical zoom lens, the equivalent of a 36mm-180mm
camera, a high-resolution 2.7”, 230k pixel LCD
with a reinforced glass coating for scratch-free durability and
sensitivity settings of up to ISO 1600 that allow natural images that
retain the atmosphere of evening events taken without the use of a
flash. The FinePix Z100fd is also the first Z-series model to
feature Fujifilm’s Dual Image Stabilization,
which marries a mechanically stabilized CCD with high ISO sensitivities
for total anti-blur protection.
The FinePix Z100fd features Fujifilm’s
innovative Face Detection Technology, a one-touch selectable mode
that identifies up to 10 human faces in a scene. Face Detection
Technology sets the correct focus for a chosen primary face and exposure
for all detected faces automatically, regardless of where subjects are
located within the frame. It can cope with back-lit scenes and it also
comes in handy for capturing the perfect self portrait.
The FinePix Z100fd also includes a new Automatic Red Eye
Removal feature that works in conjunction with Face Detection. Red
eye is a common complaint given by 60% of digital camera users. The
FinePix Z100fd instantly checks each detected face for red eye,
and if it’s found, corrects it automatically,
saving the time consuming process of fixing it in your PC after the
image is downloaded.
Cutting Edge Design
Designed for the most style-conscious user, the FinePix Z100fd
sports a totally redesigned metal body that is guaranteed to turn heads
wherever you take it. From its unique ‘diagonal
slide’ lens cover and illuminated ‘Z’
logo, to its eye-catching color combinations, the FinePix Z100fd
sets a new standard in sophistication. Available in four two-toned color
schemes, ‘Shell Pink’,
‘Satin Silver’, ‘Cappuccino
Brown’ and ‘Tuxedo
Black’ (a striking black special edition with
a contrasting white sliding cover panel), the FinePix Z100fd is
sure to stand out in a crowd.
Other noteworthy features found on the FinePix Z100fd include:
Blog Mode: The Blog Mode automatically resizes any image
captured to a properly sized 640x480 (QVGA) or 320 x 240 image size,
right in the camera, saving time from downloading it and adjusting it
on a PC.
Photo Folder Management: This useful new feature organizes
photos right in the camera, with 6 pre-set file folders that can be
easily downloaded to the computer for convenient image management.
Pre-set folders include: Travel, Family, Favorites,
My Pictures, Events, and a password-protected Private
folder.
i-Flash Intelligent Flash: i-Flash detects subtle lighting
differences within a scene, and then varies the flash intensity
accordingly. It also leverages the high sensitivity of the FinePix Z100fd
to enable the camera to use less flash, preventing that “blasted
with light” effect that so many digital
camera flashes leave you with. The result is pleasing, natural tones
with no flash “wash-out”.
Dual Shot Mode: In this mode the FinePix Z100fd quickly
shoots two images in succession -- one with and one without the flash
-- saving both. This convenient function lets the user perform an
on-the-spot picture comparison and decide whether the FinePix Z100fd
produced the most pleasing photo with flash, or without.
Special Scene Modes: The FinePix Z100fd has 16 scene
positions including ‘Fireworks,’
‘Beach,’ ‘Party,’
and ‘Under Water’
offering a one-touch setting for almost any situation.
Auction Mode: The new Auction mode makes it easy to create
merged image formats suitable for online auction site use.
Movie Mode: Capture VGA quality movie clips at 30 frames per
second with sound. Great for when you’re
out and you don’t have your video camera
on-hand.
Rotary Dial Menu: The Rotary Dial provides easy control and
selection of the convenient functions, and let’s
the operator swiftly scroll and select anything from scene positions
to thumbnails.
Micro Thumbnail: A playback feature that allows for viewing an
index print-style image on the LCD. The FinePix Z100fd will
show up to 100 images in micro form. Control buttons are used to move
over specific images and select them. This makes it easy to quickly
find a single image by being able to jump to particular segments of
images in the time sequence.
IrSimple™:
Infrared communication via IrSimple™
technology for fast, easy wireless image transfer to a compatible
device.
xD / SD / SDHC Compatible slot: A single media slot that
accepts both xD Picture Card and SD/SDHC media cards.
“The FinePix Z100fd is the perfect
digital camera for anyone seeking a combination of high style and
cutting-edge features,” said David Troy,
senior product manager, Consumer Digital Cameras, Electronic Imaging
Division, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. “We believe
that consumers looking for a super-slim digital camera shouldn’t
have to make compromises on image quality or features.”
The FinePix Z100fd will debut in January 2008 at a retail price
of $249.95.
