Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd, combining new built-in LSI based Face Detection technology with Fujifilm’s celebrated High ISO sensitivity, is a digital camera for users who want the shooting options of a digital SLR with the ease of use traditionally found in compact digital cameras. With Fujifilm’s 6^th generation 6 megapixel Super CCD and Real Photo Processor II, achieving ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution, the FinePix S6500fd delivers stunning photographs, with no fuss.

Fujifilm’s Face Detection technology means the FinePix S6500fd can identify up to ten faces in a frame and automatically optimise settings for perfectly sharp, natural looking people pictures. It sets focus and exposure leaving the person behind the camera to concentrate on getting the best poses from their subjects.

The FinePix S6500fd incorporates a Fujinon 28-300mm zoom lens with twist barrel zoom control, enabling precision adjustments to focal length.

The camera’s High ISO sensitivity (up to IS3200) has the added benefit of combating image-blur, which can be caused by camera-shake or fast moving subjects.  This would enable the photographer to take blur-free images even at ultra long zoom, typically for in-door sport photography, which demands the fast shutter speed and high sensitivity.

FinePix S6500fd uses high ISO sensitivity for low light, flash free photography without compromise on resolution, image blur or noise levels, that, combined with Face Detection, produces focused, natural looking people pictures every time.

The camera’s High-Speed Shooting Mode produces high-speed focusing and impressive shutter lag of 0.035 seconds which beats most of digital SLR cameras.

The FinePix S6500fd also utilises Fujifilm’s Intelligent Flash system to automatically determine flash power output and exposure, for flash photography that achieves both natural looking skin tones and clear background exposure. Furthermore, Fujifilm’s ‘Natural Light & Flash’ Dual Shot mode takes two shots in quick succession; one with flash, and one without, then displays them side-by-side for on-the-spot comparison.

The FinePix S6500fd features a 2.5” LCD screen and high-resolution electronic viewfinder – giving the user the choice of how to best compose their photos. It features 30 fps VGA movie mode (resolution: 640 x 480 pixels), with sound and manual zoom capability.
