FujiFilm HS30EXR Digital Camera User Manual


 
Selectable EXR-Modes
Focusing in as little as 0.16 seconds,* high-speed
auto focus ensures that every frame is sharp and
clear, even when shooting burst sequences.

High-speed Performance
High-speed Auto Focus
Thanks to the powerful EXR processor, the FinePix HS30EXR wakes in approximately 0.8
seconds.* In addition to quick start-up and faster focusing, waiting time after continuous
shooting sequences has been reduced by as much as half compared to conventional
models. That means the HS30EXR is ready to go back to work almost immediately.
*In QUICK mode
Responsive Start-up and Processing Performance
Capture the action at 8 fps in full 16-megapixel resolution. At 8-megapixels (M size), burst sequences
can be shot at 11 fps. Each frame can be viewed as a single shot or the entire burst sequence can be
viewed in a separate window.

The 1/2-inch BSI (Back Side Illuminated) EXR CMOS sensor
combines an impressive 16 megapixels of high-resolution image
quality with exceptionally responsive performance. Fujifilm’s
proprietary pixel and color filter arrays enhance both vertical and
horizontal resolution, the key to 3-way capture technology that
ensures the best image quality for every scene. Dynamic range has
been expanded to 1600%, achieving a new level of imaging
performance.
The BSI structure results in improved light reception for a significant
boost in sensitivity, with available settings up to ISO 12800 for S
size. An optimized signal read-out configuration significantly
reduces in-sensor noise, achieving a further significant reduction in
signal-to-noise ratio. The CMOS format also achieves higher
readout speeds and faster image processing, enabling 8fps
high-speed continuous shooting at full 16-megapixel resolution.
Moving wiring from the center layer to the reverse side of the sensor
improves light reception, resulting in enhanced sensitivity and reduced noise.

16-Megapixel BSI EXR CMOS Sensor EXR Processor
Featuring dual CPUs, an EXR Core, and a
reconfigurable processor, the EXR Processor
delivers outstanding power and speed, performance
that comes into its own in Full HD Movies,
high-speed continuous shooting, speedy auto focus
and Intelligent Scene Recognition. Start-up is
quicker, focusing is faster, and writing time after
burst shooting has been significantly reduced.
A Vector Graphics Accelerator is responsible for crisp, highly legible menus and
information readouts on the graphic user interface and pleasant viewing on HDTV.
In good light, HR mode maximizes the full 16-megapixel
resolution of the FinePix HS30EXR to reproduce even the
smallest details in bright, beautiful color.
Conceived for high-contrast scenes, DR mode simultaneously captures
high- and low-exposure images, combining the two to produce a single
image with subtle shadow detail and clean, crisp highlights.
SN mode maximizes high-sensitivity to capture smooth
texture and natural brightness with minimal noise when
shooting in low light, indoors or at night.

With the addition of Motion Detection,
Intelligent Scene Recognition technology in
EXR Auto mode automatically recognizes and
optimizes white balance, focus, exposure and
other settings for a total of 103 shooting
patterns. In addition to recognizing the shape
and color of scenes, the camera also calculates
available light and determines whether a person
is present, giving you exceptional photos in
almost every conceivable situation.

Face Detection couples with Tracking Auto Focus for new
ways of capturing great people pictures, even when those
people won’t stop moving. Face Detection optimizes
focus and exposure to ensure bright, clear faces, while
Tracking Auto Focus maintains sharp focus on moving
subjects. The result is attractively exposed, well-focused
photos.

With the ability to shoot full HD video (1920 x 1080p; 30fps/H.264 High Profile)
with impressive stereo sound, the FinePix HS30EXR doubles as a
high-performance video camera. Improved continuous auto focus is enhanced
by facial recognition, to ensure the people in your movies are in focus and
properly exposed. Movie scene recognition optimizes settings to take the
guesswork out of movie making. The H.264 (MOV) file format combines high
quality video with a small file size, for effortless editing on a PC.
The EXR CMOS sensor maximizes high-sensitivity performance to capture
stunning movies, even in challenging lighting conditions.
