Non-flash shooting under low lighting conditions

With Fujifilm’s latest 3rd generation
1/1.7 inch Super CCD, the FinePix F601
Zoom features 3.1 million effective pixels, which produce ultra-high quality
images consisting of 2832 × 2128 (6.03

greater sensitivity, superior gradation,
high S/N ratio and natural colors. In
addition to beautifully balanced image

offers ultra-high sensitivity and highquality movie recording capabilities.

Ultra-high ISO Sensitivity of 1600
The FinePix F601 Zoom offers an extended ISO range allowing selection of the
most appropriate sensitivity from five settings equivalent to 160, 200, 400, 800*

and natural colors under normal lighting
situations, the camera enables outstanding fast-action and non-flash shooting
under low-light conditions when set to
higher ISO settings, which also helps to
eliminate camera shake from hand-held
picture taking. The Super CCD in the
FinePix F601 Zoom uses innovative noise
reduction technology to maintain image
quality across all ISO sensitivities by reducing the noise that often occurs in images
taken at higher ISO settings by digital cameras with conventional CCDs.

Fujifilm’s 3rd generation Super CCD system is not
just a new CCD, but instead reflects a comprehensive improvement in image quality through consideration of the complete system including the CCD
and new LSI.
Generally speaking, increasing the sensitivity of
a CCD amplifies the noise in the images. However,
with the 3rd generation Super CCD system, this
problem has been resolved through further
improvement of the CCD sensitivity characteristics
and the use of Fujifilm’s new Noise Reduction
Technology which uses a new LSI to process both
the luminescence and chroma information from
captured images. As a result, the 3rd generation
Super CCD system offers high sensitivity shooting

In addition to Programmed Auto
Exposure (AE), the exposure can be controlled both by Shutter Priority AE (1/1000
sec. – 2 secs.), Aperture Priority AE (F2.8 –
8) and by Manual Exposure. In situations
where exposure compensation is necessary, EV Exposure Compensation is possible in 1/3 increments from –2.1 to +1.5 EV.
The Auto Bracketing function enables auto-

matic bracketing of each exposure by as
much as ±1 EV in 1/3, 2/3 and 1 EV increments. The optimum metering system can
be selected from 64-zone TTL Multi,
Average and Spot metering to match a
wide variety of lighting situations.
Adjustment of the ISO-equivalent sensitivity value can also be made between ISO
160 to 1600, while control of the flash (in
5 modes), manual focusing, macro shooting, high-speed Top 4-frame Continuous
Shooting (up to 4 frames at 5 frames per

Recording
The 3rd generation Super CCD system has a

This realizes high-quality VGA-sized movie
recording at a higher frame rate of 15
frames/sec. in the FinePix F601 Zoom through
a world-leading breakthrough in horizontal and
vertical direction Pixel-Mixing Technology, realized by the Super CCD’s unique interwoven
pixel arrangement. The technology combines
pixel information in the vertical and horizontal
directions, realizing higher frame rates and
high-quality VGA movies with enhanced brightness in captured movie images.

The Super CCD combines data of each two vertical pixels into single data, and then similarly combines data of each two horizontal
pixels into single data. This near-instantaneous processing allows
reading of most pixel information, resulting in higher frame rates
and high-quality VGA-sized movies with enhanced brightness in
the captured movie images.
