However, with a digital camera that looks this good, you may not want to be seen without it in your hand! Face Detection Technology When taking group shots, it is often difficult to keep everyone focused for more than a few seconds, and there is little time to nail that perfect picture with faces appearing sharp and in the best light. Luckily, the FinePix Z5fd features Fujifilm's Face Detection Technology, a selectable mode that identifies up to 10 human faces in a scene. It sets the correct focus for a chosen primary face and exposure for all detected faces automatically, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame. Face Detection Technology can cope with back-lit scenes such as concerts, settings where there's a more obvious focus point between people's faces or when the subject is off center, and it also comes in handy for capturing the perfect self portrait, which can easily be posted to a blog or webpage. No Need to Be Afraid Of the Dark! Sometimes, the most picture-worthy moments occur in dimly-lit environments such as dance clubs or restaurants, where the lack of sufficient light presents challenges for many digital cameras. Behind the picture-perfect exterior of the FinePix Z5fd is a set of powerful picture-taking technologies that meet the challenges presented by these environments. The FinePix Z5fd has ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. capabilities of up to 1600 at full resolution, making flash-free photography possible with available light, balancing foreground foreground - (Unix) On a time-sharing system, a task executing in foreground is one able to accept input from and return output to the user in contrast to one running in the background. and background exposure and contributing to a natural look and feel. Higher light sensitivities also enable the camera to shoot with faster shutter speeds In a still camera, the length of time that the shutter is open, exposing the film (analog) or CCD or CMOS sensor (digital) to light for a single image. In a camcorder, the shutter speed is the frame speed; for example, 24, 30 or 60 frames per second (fps).

To make it easy to achieve blur-free results, the FinePix Z5fd features a helpful 'Picture Stabilization' mode setting. This easy-to-identify, automatic setting lets the FinePix Z5fd choose the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed, producing the highest quality digital pictures without blur and the noise often associated with high sensitivity photographs. i-Flash A flash is necessary at times and to help secure the best, most natural image quality, the FinePix Z5fd's Intelligent-Flash system, or "i-Flash", detects subtle lighting differences within a scene, and then lights the subject accordingly with a variety of flash intensities. For example, if the subject is off center and standing beneath a streetlight, the i-Flash system will correct the exposure, leading to pictures with more natural looking subjects and backgrounds that are full of bright and crisp detail. Together, Face Detection and i-Flash technologies produce photographs with prominent subjects exhibiting pleasing, natural tones. Blog Mode The FinePix Z5fd debuts Fujifilm's brand-new Blog Mode. In this mode, the camera copies and automatically reduces the size of copied images for easy posting to a blog, Web page or as an attachment to email for easy sharing with friends and family while maintaining the original file. With the increasing popularity of blogging, instant messaging Exchanging text messages in real time between two or more people logged into a particular instant messaging (IM) service. Instant messaging is more interactive than e-mail because messages are sent immediately, whereas e-mail messages can be queued up in a mail server for seconds or and personal Web sites, Fujifilm expects the new Blog Mode to be a well-used feature on the FinePix Z5fd. In addition to these innovations, the FinePix Z5fd has a number of other noteworthy features: * Dual Shot Mode: In this mode the FinePix Z5fd quickly shoots two images in succession -- one with and one without the flash -- saving both. This convenient function lets the user perform an on-the-spot picture comparison and decide whether the FinePix Z5fd produced the most pleasing photo with flash, or without. * Special Scene Modes: The FinePix Z5fd has 14 scene positions including Fireworks fireworks: see pyrotechnics. fireworks Explosives or combustibles used for display. Of ancient Chinese origin, fireworks evidently developed out of military rockets and explosive missiles and accompanied the spread of military explosives westward to , Beach and Snow, offering a one-touch setting for almost any situation. * Internal memory: Memory cards can fill quickly. The FinePix Z5fd offers the security of on-board On board usually means to be traveling on some vehicle. For example, Baby On Board. Compare with overboard. Metaphorically, the term on-board is often used to refer to some piece of technology that is integrated in a moving vehicle, for example: * Infrared communication via IR simple technology. "By combining a sleek design, vibrant new colors and great new features like Face Detection, the FinePix Z5fd is the perfect model for those who want a camera that looks as good as the pictures it takes," said David Troy, Senior Product Manager, Consumer Digital Cameras, Electronic Imaging Division, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc.
