Digital Camera FinePix S6500fd

It can t wait to see your face

PHOTOKINA 2006 COLOGNE GERMANY September 26 2006 Fuji Photo

Film Co Ltd is proud to exhibit the FinePix S6500fd digital camera debuting

industry first hardware based Face Detection technology to enable the camera to

recognise faces and optimise settings to get the best photograph in just 0 04 seconds

With Fujifilm s acclaimed sixth generation six megapixel Super CCD sensor and Real

Photo Technology II class leading ISO 100 3200 sensitivity and Fujinon 10 7x 28

300mm 35mm equivalent optical zoom lens the FinePix S6500fd combines the

photographic possibilities of a digital SLR with the ease of use of a compact

Fujifilm expects the FinePix S6500fd to be a popular camera for hobbyist

photographers It will be a powerful fun tool for people looking to move on from their

compact digital camera but who don t want the restrictions or level of manual input that

can be required by a Digital SLR

Face detection

Photographs of friends and family are among the most popular in day to day

photography Yet these are the shots that are hardest to get right because the best

photographs are not the posed ones but those that are unexpected Previously face

detection concepts have been a slow software based process relegating them to a

novelty feature rather than a powerful picture taking tool The potential delay in seeing

a face and optimising settings is not conducive to good people photography Crucially

Fujifilm has built its Face Detection technology into the FinePix S6500fd s processor

enabling it to identify faces and take a photo within 0 04 seconds

Digital Camera FinePix S6500fd 1 4

The FinePix S6500fd s Face Detection uses an algorithm which recognises eyes and a

mouth to lock on to faces in the frame Coping with up to ten faces in a frame it

optimises settings such as focus and exposure level before taking the photo Face

Detection can identify a face irrespective of its position in the frame or the composition

of the shot and is not confused by spectacles Furthermore movement tracking ensures

the camera stays locked on the subject until they move out of the frame All this

combined with split second accuracy results in picture perfect people shots with no

need for user intervention

High sensitivity for precision photography

Alongside Face Detection the FinePix S6500fd features Fujifilm s Real Photo Processor

II technology delivering class leading ISO 100 3200 sensitivity Research shows that

the majority of photos are taken in low light with the subject in the foreground These

shots can be problematic because of blur or because the subject is over exposed by an

automatic flash The high ISO of the FinePix S6500fd means that sharp focused images

can be achieved in low light without the need for a flash so skin tones look natural and

foreground and background exposure remain balanced When used in conjunction with

Face Detection the result is natural looking people pictures that appear just as the

human eye sees them even when shot in low light

The FinePix S6500fd features a Fujinon 10 7x optical zoom lens with twist barrel

control to give plenty of scope for precision composition Because the camera s high

ISO sensitivity also combats image blur the user can even achieve sharp clean images

at the telephoto end of the zoom perfect for fast moving sports photography Its fixed

lens also prevents dust collecting on its sensor another convenience factor versus digital

SLRs

Sony s DSC T200 and DSC T70 Cameras Know When You re

Smiling

Is that a smile or are you in pain

Cyber shot DSC H3 A day after Canon came out with their new models of digital cameras including the

Sony professional EOS 1Ds Mark III and the advanced EOS 40D Sony announces three new

Cyber shot compacts

Let s start with the long zoom model The new Cyber shot DSC H3 boasts a 10x optical

zoom lens that benefits from the Super Steady Shot technology compensating for unwanted

camera motion

Unfortunately despite being manufactured by Carl Zeiss the lens itself is not something to

brag about The main problems lies in the maximum aperture performance At the wide

angle the 6 3 63mm with a picture angle equivalent to that of a 38 380mm lens mounted

on a 35mm camera lens can t open the aperture more than f 3 5 and at the tele end it stops

at f 4 4

In terms of ISO sensitivity the H3 can go between 100 and 3000 but keep in mind that

small sensors like the 1 2 5 inch one found in this Sony generate a lot of noise when used

over ISO 400 or even ISO 200

Speaking of image quality the good news is that the camera benefits from the Dynamic

Range Optimizer which was originally developed for the Alpha digital SLR system As the

press release informs this technology can analyze captured image data and instantly

determine the best exposure and tonality of each picture before JPEG compression

And since face detection is so hip nowadays Sony s H3 can also recognize faces and

adjust exposure and focus for best results

If the 2 5 inch LCD fitted on the H3 is not to your liking you can always connect the camera

to a HDTV set with Sony s VMC MHC1 high definition component cable sold separately

for around 40 Note however that the high definition TV set will make the noise extremely

visible so be careful with the ISO sensitivity

Overall the Sony Cyber Shot DSC H3 priced at around 300 is not a wow camera but

it s not bad either especially since long zoom cameras are very similar nowadays

The second model on Sony s announcement list is the stylish DSC T200 which offers an

8 megapixel sensor a huge 3 5 inch touch screen LCD and 5x optical zoom lens This

model will be available in silver black and red

The third is the DSC T70 with a 3 inch wide LCD touch panel and 3x Carl Zeiss optical

zoom lens It will be offered in silver black white and pink

Aside from the usual Sony features like the aforementioned image stabilization and Photo
