You are in control
The FinePix S8100fd allows photo enthusiasts and advanced photographers total control with manual adjustment options for the various camera settings including resolution, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and more.
The big zoom advantage
The FinePix S8100fd's 18x zoom lens – first seen on the FinePix S8000fd - is ready for every possible photographic challenge, from landscapes and interiors to wildlife and sports action.
A new Instant Zoom function captures moving subjects at high zoom settings. After zooming on a subject, a single button gives an additional 1.4x or 2x digital zoom at the centre focus region of the frame.
Zoom Bracketing performs a similar action using Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology to lock its zoom action on a subject's face automatically as it enters the shot.
Face Detection Technology
Fujifilm's award-winning Face Detection Technology has enabled a number of advanced features that will excite both novice and more experienced photographers and make getting perfect portraits easier than ever.
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.
It 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.
Red eye problem using flash
Using automatic red eye removal
Say goodbye to red-eye – for good
The FinePix S8100fd 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 S8100fd 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 S8100fd 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 S8100fd never gets it wrong.
Without Flash
Using Intelligent Flash
Intelligent Flash
Intelligent Flash detects subtle lighting differences within a scene and then varies the flash intensity accordingly. It also uses the high sensitivity of the FinePix S8100fdto enable the camera to use less flash, resulting in an image that displays natural tones without a washed-out effect. With an automatic pop-up flash, it's always ready when you need it.
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.
FinePix S8100fd
Conventional camera
Never a blurred moment
The FinePix S8100fd features Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation combining mechanical sensor shift stabilisation with Fujifilm's Picture Stabilisation Technology, which uses fast shutter speeds and ISO levels of up to ISO 6400 (at 5 Megapixels), for total anti-blur protection.
As a result the FinePix S8100fd produces sharp, blur-free photographs even in low light conditions.
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.
The LCD is coated with Wide View Film, offering an expanded viewing angle that comes in handy when composing the image or in playback.
High Speed Continuous Shooting Mode
A Continuous Shooting Mode makes it easy to shoot moving subjects such as pets, children and sports. This improved feature allows high-speed shooting of up to 33 frames at 13.5 frames per second.*
With high-speed playback at 10 frames per second you can be sure you've captured all of the action.
*at 3 megapixels. 6.8 frames per second at 5 megapixels
High Speed Playback
A new high-speed preview function allows you to immediately view the entire contents of your memory card, making it easy to retrieve images. With this function, images can be played back at a speed of approx 10 frames pre second. When used to stream a sequence shot in continuous shooting mode it gives the impression that you are viewing a movie.
