Elegance and Style
The graceful curves and slim arc design belie the complex electronics within the F100fd’s tough metal exterior.

NEW! Wide Dynamic Range
Dynamic Range, or the gradations of light that exist between bright and dark in any scene, can be easily detected by the human eye, but not by most cameras. Fujifilm first expanded the dynamic range capture functionality on the professional imaging side with its FinePix S3 Pro digital camera.
The technology, now perfected in the EISA Award-winning FinePix S5 Pro, has been brought to the consumer in the FinePix F100fd.
Through a combination of advances in Fujifilm's new Super CCD HR VIII sensor and RP (Real Photo) Processor III, this wide dynamic range dramatically broadens tonal capability and guarantees exceptional rendition of photos with both bright highlights and dark shadows.
This expansion of sensitivity captures greater detail, and subtle nuances of brightness and tonality that bring the photo closer to what the human eye actually sees, helping to avoid the 'white sky' effect caused by the loss of fine highlight detail.

Powerful and versatile
Highly regarded by both photographic and broadcasting professionals, FUJINON supplies the high-precision "eye" for FinePix. Using an aspherical lens to efficiently collect light at the focal point, the lens can deliver high-performance and phenomenal clarity within an image.
Despite the compact size of the FinePix F100fd, there are no compromises with optical clarity and speed of operation. The lens is both robust and reliable.
Streamlined `Graphical User Interface’
Ultimate control is at your fingertips with the F100fd’s streamlined `Graphical User Interface’.
The intuitive icon based interface confirms shooting modes, scene positions, or control settings with brief explanations on the LCD screen. Easy-to-read icon and text description of the selected mode help you choose and confirm the optimum setting for best results. This takes much of the guesswork out of digital camera operation. With less to worry about, you'll have more fun with your picture taking!
2.7” High resolution LCD Screen
A camera of this class demands the very best TFT LCD, and at a generous size of 2.7" and a resolution of 230,000 pixels, you can't get much better.
Sensing ambient light, the LCD automatically adjusts brightness for optimum viewing indoors or outdoors. Manual control can provide additional brightness.
Unlike other inferior cameras, the LCD is protected by a scratch resistant, reinforced acrylic protective shield, so even if loose in a pocket, the LCD has its own in-built protection.
The extra-large LCD makes it easy to frame your photos and playback the results to friends in brilliant, rich colour.
Convenient xD , SD and SDHC compatibility
The FinePix F100fd features an xD/SD compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD Picture Card, SD or SDHC media to store and transfer your photos.
This will give you the flexibility to buy the card you want, use cards from previous cameras, or choose the media that fits with your other desktop devices like laptops, PDAs or card readers.
Internal memory
The FinePix F100fd makes it possible for you to get that picture even if your memory card is full. The 57MB of internal memory built into this compact model provides enough storage for up to 88 photographs, (at 2MP setting), and ensures that you will never have to miss that special shot.
Think of it as your internal insurance policy for photo opportunities. With that said, the main storage for images on the F100fd should be an additional memory card, which will allow you to accommodate almost as many images as you like.
