Natural light and colors change at every moment. You want to take
photos of these decisive moments quickly. To respond to this need,
the FinePix S100 FS provides continuous shooting of 3 frames/second
at the full 11.1 megapixels. (JPEG: up to 7 frames, CCD-RAW: up to
3 frames) At 3 megapixels, a maximum of 50 continuous shots at
7 frames/second high speed is possible. Reliable high-speed performance
is supported by the newly developed Super CCD VIII “HR” and the
new image processing technology “RP (Real Photo) Processor III”.
Stress-less high-speed playback is possible of images after taking
photos, at about 10 frames/second.
The FinePix S100 FS incorporates a newly developed electronic
viewfinder so you can take photos in the same way as using the
optical viewfinder of a single-lens reflex camera. Response, color
development, color reproduction, etc., are significantly improved by
the field sequential drive in
the liquid crystal system,
which strongly assists
checking of color tones
and focusing of the image
you are photographing.
The 0.2-inch viewfinder display with approximately 200,000 dots is
highly accurate, and dots on the display are less visible. Now it is a
lot easier to see diverse photo information in the viewfinder. The
viewfinder, set just above the lens barrel, facilitates easy holding of
the camera and accurate framing of the subject with excellent vision.
One of the great charms of
nature photography is
communication with
nature. In addition to
the newly developed
electronic viewfinder,
the FinePix S100 FS has a 2.5-inch
230,000 dots high-precision LCD which
can be freely moved 90˚ upwards and 45˚
downwards. A wide-angle monitor with coverage of
about 100% offers you flexible shooting positions from low angles to
high angles. With this monitor it is easy to check the focusing and the
color tone of the photos you have taken and to see menu displays.
There is a choice of 14 different scene settings (SP1, SP2)
optimized for each subject type. It is possible to precisely set
optimal settings for the shutter
speed, exposure and the white
balance for each subject type.
SP1 has four sets of scene
settings specifically for nature
photography. You can store your
own photograph settings for film
simulation, Dynamic Range,
etc., you want for nature photos
in the custom modes (C1, C2).
You can quickly select the settings
at any time.
The FinePix S100 FS has four AF modes of single AF, continuous
AF, manual focus and one-push AF (for manual focus), to
respond to diverse photography conditions and intentions. All
modes offer high-speed, high-precision focusing. You can focus
accurately with your targeted framing. The FinePix S100 FS can
focus on subjects in low light.
You can set shutter speeds of between 1/4,000 second and
30 seconds. Shutter time lag is less than 0.01 seconds. It is
possible to take photos of diverse expression with
combinations of ISO sensitivity, which has a broad range of
setting choices, and multiple apertures of between F2.8 - F11
at 1/3EV steps. Using the manual exposure setting, bulb
exposure of up to 30 seconds is possible.
You can obtain the original data output by the newly developed
Super CCD VIII “HR” in RAW mode and make adjustments to the data
images without any loss in quality to produce the photos you intend.
(RAW processing is possible with the included software.)
The FinePix S100 FS has a full-frame video recording function with
audio at 30 frames per second which outputs a flowing movement.
Manual zooming during recording is possible, and the AF and AE
functions keep moving subjects in focus with optimal exposure.
The FinePix S100 FS incorporates a Face Detection system which
automatically detects faces and sets optimal focusing and brightness
for faces. The Face Detection area is significantly expanded for
this system, which is effective for taking high-quality portraits.
The FinePix S100 FS lens hood is
specially designed as an accessory for a
digital camera for nature photography.
There is a square window in the lower
part of the lens hood to allow adjustments
of lens filters such as polarizing filters,
that vibrantly modify scenery photos,
without removing the hood.
Advanced speed, f lexibility and maneuverability for professional nature phot ography.
Approx. 3 frames/second
at the full 11.1 megapixels.
In addition, approx. 7 frames/second
(for 3 megapixels)
high-speed continuous shooting.
Raw mode enables image adjustment
without deterioration.
Aiming for vision very close to the real image.
Newly designed electronic viewfinder (EVF).
90˚ upwards and 45˚ downwards,
multi-angle shooting possible.
230,000 dots high-precision color LCD.
14 scene settings and custom settings.
High-speed, high-precision AF modes
to respond to diverse photography conditions.
1/4,000 second high-shutter speed.
Bulb exposure possible.
30 frames/second,
substantial video recording function.
Face Detection system with enlarged detection area.
Lens hood allows filter adjustment in position.
