New Finepix S6000FD Digital Camera With Face Detection technology
Fujifilm introduced the SLR-styled FinePix S6000fd, the first digital camera in Fujifilm's line-up with the company's new Face Detection Technology.
Face Detection Technology operates exactly as its name implies, identifying up to 10 faces in a framed scene. Once faces are identified and prioritized, the 6.3 MegaPixel FinePix S6000fd adjusts its focus and exposure accordingly to ensure the sharpness and clarity of human subjects in the picture, regardless of background. And since it is hardware rather than software based, Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology works in as little as 0.05 seconds. Quicker operation reduces the likelihood of missed or blurry photos, frustrations often associated with digital photography.
Face Detection Technology is the latest addition to Fujifilm's suite of Real Photo Technology digital camera components that work collaboratively on the FinePix S6000fd. One of those components is i-Flash, the intelligent flash system introduced by Fujifilm earlier this year on the FinePix F30 compact digicam. The system reads scene conditions and adjusts its flash power output and exposure automatically, based on gathered information. Together, the Face Detection and i-Flash technologies promise photographs with prominent subjects exhibiting pleasing, natural tones.
Like the FinePix F30, the FinePix S6000fd has a full-resolution ISO equivalency of 3200. Such high light sensitivities allow for faster shutter speeds, which reduce blurring caused by both camera shake and subject movement. This marriage of higher sensitivities with a faster shutter is the basis for Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization, another feature found on the FinePix S6000fd. The feature (selectable on the mode dial) enables the FinePix S6000fd to automatically choose the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed for the scene.
Other helpful features found on the FinePix S6000fd for top-quality picture-taking include:
Dual Shot Mode: In this mode the FinePix S6000fd quickly shoots two images in succession -- one with and one without the flash -- saving both. This function lets the user perform an on-the-spot picture comparison and decide which photo is the most pleasing. The FinePix S6000fd is equipped with a 28-300mm Fujinon 10.7X optical zoom lens with full manual control via the lens barrel.
Due to come to U.S. market in September, the FinePix S6000fd will sell at a price of $499.95.
