The ultrahigh precision Fujinon lens is the culmination of
FUJIFILM’s optical technology. The FinePix S100 FS is a
super-zoom digital camera, which incorporates a newly
developed Fujinon lens optimized for nature photography.
Rich, expressive capacity produces high resolution, making
the most of the large 2/3-inch, 11.1 megapixel, Super CCD.
The FinePix S100 FS incorporates a high-magnification 14.3x zoom lens which
covers a broad zoom range from a wide angle of 28mm to long telephoto of
400mm and Super Macro for shots as close as 1cm from the subject (wide
angle end). Manual zoom allows freedom of zooming and precise framing.
This 28mm - 400mm zoom lens with a 10 group and 13 element
structure, exclusively designed for the FinePix S100 FS, uses a
non-spherical surface lens and an anomalous dispersion lens.
The non-spherical surface lens suppresses distortion and the curved
surface is ideal for efficient focusing of light onto one point, so it
realizes high optical performance with a small number of elements. In
addition, the anomalous dispersion lens compensates for chromatic
aberration well and
reduces color drift and
mixing on contours
a
common problem with
telephoto lenses. The
lens demonstrates high
resolving power and
excellent depiction over
the entire zoom range.
The lens produces clear
images by suppressing
reflected light inside the
lens barrel and by thoroughly eliminating ghost images and flare, which
is made possible through multiple coatings.
The lens and CCD were designed as one unit during the development
of the FinePix S100 FS. This design allows the ultrahigh precision
Fujinon lens to achieve maximum resolution at all focal lengths of the
long zoom of 28mm - 400mm. You can use the whole of your
concentration on taking photos without having to think about
changing lenses, unlike single-lens reflex cameras.
The lens-shift type image stabilization mechanism in the FinePix S100
FS automatically detects vibration of the camera body by a sensor in the
camera. This mechanism was devised with new compensation
technology and makes the optical compensation function operate
precisely according to the degree of vibration to refract light in the
direction to compensate for the vibration. The mechanism produces a
compensation effect equivalent to about three f stops.*
The FinePix S100 FS does away with troublesome maintenance thanks to
the composite body and lens structure, because there is no need to
change lenses, so there is no penetration of dirt and dust onto the CCD.
You will always take photos with a clean CCD.

The FinePix S100 FS is a super-
zoom digital camera with composite
lens for nature photography.
The CCD, image processor, the
lens to take in the light, etc., of
the FinePix S100 FS were all
optimally designed under a new
concept. The CCD sensor, the
core unit of the FinePix S100 FS, is
a newly developed Super CCD VIII
“HR”. The light receptor area is
expanded because of the large 2/3-inch CCD with about 11.1 million effective
pixels. FUJIFILM’s unique octagonal shape helps to maintain high pixel numbers
and enhance the light collection efficiency and light capture efficiency per
pixel. The CCD materializes high resolution and high sensitivity with low noise
and creates high resolving power which thoroughly expresses the details of
subjects and has rich tonal expression with an extended Dynamic Range.
The FinePix S100 FS’s CCD has succeeded in reducing noise even further.
The CCD reduces the effect of noise by raising the amplification factor of
electric signals before output from the CCD by improving the amplifier
which converts the electric charge created by the photodiode into electric
signals. It becomes possible to transfer signals with a high S/N ratio which
contributes to high-quality images for digital conversion.
The RP (Real Photo) Processor
was developed through
deepening FUJIFILM’s original
image processing technology.
The further improved RP
(Real Photo) Processor III is
incorporated in the FinePix
S100 FS. The processer is
able to read at high speed
by using parallel processing
achieved by combining the
new dual channel output system developed for the 2/3-inch Super
CCD VIII “HR” with the 14-bit dual A/D converter for both rich
tonality and high-speed reading. The unique double noise
reduction system separates noise with great accuracy from the
image signals input and meticulously eliminates noise. This
makes it possible to create clear images with extremely low noise
for ISO3200 ultrahigh sensitivity photographs with full pixels
(11.1 megapixels). ISO10000 ultrahigh sensitivity with 3 maga
recorded pixels is also an option. This processor created from
FUJIFILM’s sophisticated image processing technology, enables
the creation of images with smooth tonal expression while
maintaining high resolution and extended Dynamic Range.
