TTL Flash with monitor pre-flash
for precision control of flash output
When working with i-TTL-compatible outboard
flash equipment, the i-TTL flash system with
monitor pre-flash metering technology can determine
the appropriate flash output by emitting a flash
immediately prior to the shot and metering both
ambient light and the reflected light from the
primary subject with the 1,005-pixel RGB sensor.
Compared with conventional D-TTL, i-TTL
enhances the frequency and output of monitor
flash for more precise lighting. Moreover with the
attachment of a G- or D-type AF Nikkor lens and
the acquisition of subject ranging data from the
lens, it can determine the ideal flash volume.
“Function Lock” with password
protection prevents costly mishaps
Set password and lock everything except for playback
and shutter release. No accidental operation of the
command dial and function buttons. With a choice of
Total Lock, Basic Function Lock and Lock by
Function, it is easy to select or customize a security
level to match your needs.
Basic Function Lock: Lock the entire setup menu
(except Function Lock and Format)
Lock by Function: Select specific functions/settings
to lock (Format, Erase, Aperture, Shutter Speed,
Exposure Correction, White Balance, ISO Sensitivity,
Exposure Mode, Flash Correction and other image
quality settings)
Bar-code Management Function for easy
management and “commenting” of image files
Connect an RS

232C compatible bar-code reader* and
append various photographic remarks to image files for
more efficient image file management and workflow.

Lithium-Ion battery has sufficient power to capture
approximately 400 images*. Various status data stored
in the battery’s built-in IC chip such as remaining

Shooting Functions
With its powerful 1,005 pixel-RGB sensor, 3D
Color Matrix Metering not only uses conventional
exposure algorithms but also detects highlight area
size and calculates their optimum exposure value
with an exposure assessment algorithm. When
shooting in cloudy conditions or a subject that
is white overall, it can correct for potential
underexposure, or in the case of photographing a
subject against a dark background, it can reduce
washout.
Shutter release durability -
tested to exceed approx.100,000 cycles
Shutter release boasts not only high precision but also
superb durability. A shock-absorbing mirror balancer
minimizes mirror bounce after shutter release,
bringing it instantly to a standstill while vibration
suppression has enhanced silent operation. Also
improved mirror motion speed significantly reduces
image blackout.
Satisfy scene conditions and your artistic vision
with a choice of 4 exposure control modes
Select from 4 exposure modes:

On Function with
predictive focus tracking
Even if the subject momentarily shifts out of the focus
area or another object comes between the subject and
the camera, the camera continues to track and adjust
focus to the subject without lens hunting.
11

point AF system for high-speed,
high-precision focusing
All eleven focus areas support up to F5.6, and the
range finding is effective down to -1EV of
brightness. Everything from focus accuracy to
subject compensation/tracking and response have
been enhanced by a new cutting-edge algorithm.
3D Color Matrix Metering
for Precision Evaluation of Lighting
Under Diverse Conditions
From IS0100 to ISO3200,
select the optimum sensitivity for any scene
Selectable in 1/3 EV steps, FinePix S5 Pro offers a
sensitivity range of IS0100 to IS03200. When the
brightness of the subject exceeds the exposure
control range in the

the range of ISO100 to 3200 for optimum exposure.
Built-in Pop-up Flash

TTL flash control
The built-in pop-up flash features high-precision
flash output using i-TTL flash control. Ready for
advanced wireless lighting, the built-in Commander
function serves as the master for remote wireless
control of up to 2 “slaved” groups. With a guide number
of approximately 12
(
ISO100 •m, 20°C
)
, it provides
view angle coverage for an 18mm lens. Convenient
functions such as repeating flash for multiple-exposure
photography and modeling flash for assessing overall
lighting prior to shooting are also available.

Data Display Function for a
precise grasp of captured image data
In addition to a standard histogram display, you can
check color and brightness for each RGB channel with
the RGB histogram or receive “washout” warnings.
You can also confirm the “active” AF focus area and
other shooting details for each captured image.
High-performance Viewfinder boasts
magnification of 0.94 and
approximately 95% coverage
The high-magnification viewfinder supports comfortable
viewing and composition. Photographic data and setting
status are clearly displayed in digital readout of the
viewfinder. The Vari-Brite Focus Area display aids
smooth confirmation of the selected focus area, while a
Multi-Display Screen provides a convenient grid display.
White Balance Mode with 8 presets
Choose “Auto” for automatic assessment of light
sources or select one of the white balance presets:
Incandescent Light, Fluorescent Lamp
(

, Fine,
Flash, Shade and Color Temperature. You can also
create and save up to 5 Custom white balance settings,
and fine tune each white balance setting.
1/8,000-second high-speed shutter and
1/250-second high-speed synchro
Shutter speed range of 30 seconds to 1/8,000 second
and manual setting in 1, 1/2 or 1/3 EV steps put the
professional in total control. Flash synchronization at
speeds up to 1/250 second.
Multi Exposure Function for a single
image from a maximum of 10 exposures
A series of 2 to 10 exposures is recorded as a single image.
Spacious 2.5-inch LCD
with 100% coverage
With approx. 230,000 pixels of resolution, the 2.5-inch
low-temperature polysilicon TFT LCD provides
comfortable viewing of not only image data but also
the large characters and optimized color scheme of the
menu screens. Multi-image playback of 9 thumbnails
is just one example of its functional versatility.
“Live View” Function for more
precise focusing and view angle setting
With the mirror in the up position, the image captured
through the lens can be directly confirmed on the
LCD monitor. According to the scene and the subject,
you can select color or B/W display.
Solid Body Face Zoom In
Special required cable sold separately.
Tested in compliance with CIPA standard
Certain lens models may not be compatible or may have restrictions on their functionality.
Face Zoom In function puts
high-accuracy face detection to work
With a press of the Face Zoom In button on the rear
panel, this function instantly and simultaneously
detects up to 10 faces in an image and zooms in for
an enlarged and sequential display of each for easy
checking of facial details and focus on the LCD
monitor.* This smart function fills a vital gap in the
portrait photography workflow.
Image display time is restricted to a maximum of 30 seconds.

Rugged magnesium-alloy body
for extreme shooting conditions
The tough and lightweight magnesium alloy shell
of the FinePix S5 Pro frees you to focus on getting
the photo and not worrying about your equipment
under severe shooting conditions. Every seam and
joint has been carefully sealed to prevent invasion
of moisture and dust.
Sample photo is a simulated image
Using the 11-point focus areas to detect the closest
subject, it selects the corresponding focus area and
provides optimum focus.
Group Dynamic-AF
Select and activate a cross-pattern group of 5 focus
areas: the center area selected by the user, and the
areas above, below, to the left and right.
Metering is calculated with 75% weighting on the
central viewfinder area. You can select the metered
area diameter from 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, and
Average in the setup menu.
Working together with the 11-point AF system, Spot
Metering evaluates the optimum exposure of a spot
with a diameter of about 3mm (approx. 2% of the
entire screen) in the selected focus area.
Select a single area out of the 7-point or 11-point focus
areas to restrict focusing to only the selected area.
Even if the subject momentarily moves out of one focus
area, other focus areas track and keep it in sharp focus.
