Real Photo Technology
Driving the FinePix S8000fd is Fujifilm's unique Real Photo Technology (RPT). The guiding principles behind RPT are simple; to set the highest possible standards for overall image quality, to expand digital photography opportunities and to give users fewer wasted shots.
RPT is an umbrella term for the combination of cutting edge technologies such as Face Detection, Real Photo Processor and Fujinon lens, all optimised to work together to produce the most natural, beautiful results in any conditions. As one of the largest imaging companies worldwide Fujifilm is in a position to develop and to manufacture these components themselves, and it is this control over the design of the entire system that makes RPT so powerful.
Real Photo Technology cameras are designed from the ground up to capture 'real' photographs with stunning quality - giving users the power to capture the moment exactly as the eye sees it, no matter how challenging the shooting conditions.
With the human eye as the ideal, RPT continues to evolve and to set even higher standards for digital photography.

Special scene modes
The camera's 16 scene positions include beach, sports, night and fireworks for point-and-shoot simplicity even with difficult photographic subjects. For users wanting total creative control the FinePix S8000fd also offers Aperture and Shutter Priority and Manual exposure modes and a 1cm Super Macro function for extreme close ups.
Face Detection
Fujifilm's Face Detection technology was originally developed for the company's photofinishing division, where it was used for reproducing the fine detail in people's faces in print.
Face Detection works by triangulating eyes and mouth, using an algorithm to optimise focus, white balance and exposure for up to ten faces in a single frame.
A green square surrounds the face of the primary subject on the camera's LCD screen, whilst white squares identify up to nine other subjects. Movement tracking keeps the camera 'locked on' to its subjects until they move out of the picture. The technology works irrespective of the subject's position in the frame, and is not confused by people wearing glasses.
Say goodbye to red-eye – for good
The FinePix S8000fd also features the new fully automatic red-eye removal system.
Red eye is the single biggest reason why the best portraits are ruined. The FinePix S8000fd uses Face Detection technology to find and instantly correct any red eye from every face in the frame as the shot is taken.
The system on the FinePix S8000fd will only correct redness in the pupil of the eye, not elsewhere in the picture, because the camera uses eye detection within face detection to find the pupil. While other cameras can sometimes convert lips or red jewellery to brown or blue, the S8000fd never gets it wrong.
Intelligent Flash
The FinePix S8000fd features Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash system, which controls power output to achieve natural foreground illumination with balanced background exposure – no more blown out over-white faces or completely black backgrounds. Natural light plus Flash mode takes two photos in quick succession - one with, and one without, flash. Both photos are then displayed side by side for quick comparison so users won't miss the moment fiddling about with flash settings.

No more blurry images
The FinePix S8000fd uses a combination of advanced technologies to ensure perfect results even at the longest telephoto settings - no matter how challenging the shooting conditions. CCD-shift image stabilisation helps combat the effects of camera shake, and high sensitivity settings of up to ISO 6400* keep shutter speeds high enough to avoid subject blur even in low light.
* ISO 3200 and 6400 at 4 megapixel resolution only
Easy to use features
The FinePix Z100fd's 16 scene modes include 'beach', 'party' and 'fireworks' for optimum photography, no matter what the event. A redesigned graphical user interface and control layout ensure that the powerful feature set remains easy to use even for the novice digital camera user.
High Speed Continuous Shooting Mode
The Finepix S8000fd offers a high-speed continuous shooting mode that captures up to 15 frames per second* in a burst, even if the subject is moving
* at 2 Megapixel setting
Super Macro Mode
The Super Macro Mode allows you to get up close to your subject, within 1cm (0.4 inch), making it easy to take high-impact full frame close-ups; used with the ‘Auction Mode’ you have the perfect combination to capture detailed imagery for your next upload to ebay.
Micro Thumbnail View
The 2.5 inch LCD can display up to 100 images simultaneously enabling you to use this micro-thumbnail view to immediately select specific photos to share with friends or to select to print.
