Fujifilms Real Photo Technology
Real Photo Technology
Driving the FinePix Z100fd 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 you fewer wasted shots.
With the human eye as the ideal, Real Photo Technology cameras are designed from the ground up to capture 'real' photographs with stunning quality - giving you the power to capture the moment exactly as the eye sees it, no matter how challenging the shooting conditions.

ISO high sensitivity
To further reduce the chance of blur spoiling shots in low light the FinePix Z100fd also features sensitivity settings up to ISO 1600, allowing natural images that retain the atmosphere of evening events to be taken without the use of flash.
Face Detection technology
Face Detection
The FinePix Z100fd makes perfect portraits simple with Fujifilm's Face Detection technology. 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.

Automatic Red Eye Removal
Say goodbye to red eye for good
Taking Fujifilms acclaimed Face Detection system one step further The FinePix Z100fd is among the first of Fujifilm's compact digital cameras to offer automatic red eye removal,. The FinePix uses the system to find and instantly correct any red eye from every face in the frame.
The FinePix Z100fd's red eye removal system is not confused by lips or red coloured jewellery, as some other systems can be, as it works in tandem with Fujifilm's Face Detection system to identify the eyes and nothing else.
Letting the camera do this retouching is so much quicker and easier than struggling at home with a paintbrush on a PC!
Playback features - Zoom up and Cropping
Once you’ve captured your group portrait you can use the handy ‘Zoom Up’ feature, which allows you to detect faces in playback mode so that you can check them one by one and ensure that you have captured the image as you intended it.
If you spy a priceless expression amongst your group portrait that stands out from the crowd, then simply select the built in ‘Cropping’ function, which will allow you to automatically crop and save the selected portrait in the camera.

Fujifilm's Intelligent Flash
Intelligent Flash and Natural light
Intelligent Flash results in visibly more pleasing, natural looking photos, avoiding the harsh lighting effect that can occur with traditional in-camera flash.
For times when a decision about lighting could mean a missed photo opportunity, the FinePix Z100fd's Natural Light plus Flash mode takes two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one without. Both photos are then displayed side by side for quick comparison so users won't miss the moment fiddling about with flash settings.

CCD Shift Image Stabilisation
NEW Dual Image Stabilisation
To avoid the problems of camera shake at longer focal length this is also the first Z series model to feature CCD-shift image stabilisation.
To further reduce the chance of blur spoiling shots in low light the FinePix Z100fd also features sensitivity settings up to ISO 1600, allowing natural images that retain the atmosphere of evening events to be taken without the use of flash.
Basically the cameras high sensitivity lets you use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action in sharp detail, while the built in CCD shift image stabilisation automatically compensates for camera shake.
'Fireworks' scene mode
Multiple Scene modes
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.
Simply select a Scene Position that suits your situation and the camera automatically selects the appropriate shutter speed, exposure and white balance to ensure that you get the most of your photography; more stunning pictures, less hassle.
