Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro
Among
the FinePix S3 Pro's list of
enhanced features is its
one-of-a-kind Super CCD SR sensor
technology designed specifically for
professional photography. This
proprietary technology creates a
wider dynamic range to produce
images that approach true
photographic quality. As a result,
the FinePix S3 Pro will capture
highlight and shadow detail often
lost by digital cameras in high
contrast scenes. In addition, Super
CCD SR sensor technology provides a
higher level of sensitivity,
improved signal-to-noise ratio and
more natural color reproduction.
Fujifilm understands that
professional photographers demand
and expect a finer level of detail,
regardless of lighting conditions,
and pro photographers will truly
appreciate the FinePix S3 Pro for
the overall image quality it
provides.
With 12.3 million (S-pixel: 6.17
million, R-pixel: 6.17 million)
effective pixels, the APS size
(23x15.5mm), professional Super CCD
SR sensor of the FinePix S3 Pro
offers wider dynamic range plus
overall improved quality for
beautiful digital images, capturing
more detail across a range of
brightness in the same image.
The FinePix S3 Pro has a unique body
designed and crafted to Fujifilm
specifications. The solid, one-piece
body is made from a durable
polycarbonate and has a F-mount lens
fitting for Nikon lens
compatibility.
Dual shutter release buttons
facilitate both horizontal and
vertical shooting. Newly developed
two-inch, 235,000 pixel horizontal
display delivers crisp, clear images
and approximately 100% frame
coverage. The FinePix S3 Pro is
extremely efficient power-wise,
running solely on four AA Ni-MH
rechargeable batteries.
The PC-Sync connection allows
strobes or other external flash
systems to be connected to the
FinePix S3 Pro. Flash sync speed is
1/180th of a second.
The FinePix S3 Pro offers
Intelligent Flash with the D-TTL
full-aperture exposure metering
system providing outstanding results
with all Nikon compatible speed
lights. A first-time offering in a
Fujifilm digital camera, this allows
a new level of creative lighting
options for FinePix S3 Pro users.
The FinePix S3 Pro provides IEEE
1394 (FireWire) and USB 2.0
interfaces for camera control
(IEEE1394 only) and high-speed image
transfer. And FinePix S3 Pro
provides Dual Media Slots for xD-Picture
Card and Microdrive storage.
