Salient Features of Fuji FinePix X100 Digital Camera

APS-C 12M CMOS Sensor
Packing 12.3 million pixels, the large APS-C CMOS sensor debuts a new standard in high sensitivity/low noise performance and superior image quality, achieving about 10 times the sensitivity of any conventional FinePix compact to date. In addition, using an ingenious approach to the drive and mechanics of the sensor, heat generated by the large-size sensor is effectively dissipated, preventing degradation of performance and image quality.

Customized to Maximize Lens Performance
By optimising the arrangement of the microlens array for the special FinePix X100 lens, the angle of captured incident light from the lens is expanded, improving light collection all the way to the edge area of the image sensor. As a result, a sufficient quantity of light can be directed to the photodiodes for the production of exceptionally sharp and clear image quality even in the image edge areas.

New EXR Processor
The synergy of the APS-C CMOS Sensor and the new EXR Processor produces exceptional image quality every time you press the shutter. Featuring dual CPUs, EXR Core and a Reconfigurable Processor, this next-generation processing engine elevates the performance of Fujifilm's innovative EXR technology trio: HR (High Resolution), DR (Wide Dynamic Range) and SN (High Sensitivity & Low Noise). While delivering the highest image quality every produced by a FinePix camera, the EXR Processor also lets you enjoy a host of advanced functions such as HD Video and high-speed continuous shooting. The chip also integrates a new Vector Graphics Processor that drives the improved image quality and readability of the new GUI.

EXR Technology Trio

• HR: High Resolution Technology
  When lighting is bright and even, HR technology uses full resolution and the power of advanced signal processing to capture the finest detail. From the leaves of the trees to a wisp of hair in a portrait, every detail is captured with astonishing clarity and definition.

• DR: Wide Dynamic Range Technology
  In high contrast scenes, DR technology prevents washed out highlights and shadow detail lost to blackness. When shooting portraits under strong sunlight or landscapes with a strong contrast between bright and dark areas, DR technology brings out the natural tonality in both highlights and shadow.

• SN: High Sensitivity & Low Noise Technology
  Even shooting at high sensitivity, the clarity is stunning with extremely low noise and minimal false color generation. Indoors and in other low-light scenes, SN technology captures the natural beauty of the moment.

Film Simulation Mode

• Color Photography
  Just like choosing the ideal film for your creative direction, this easy-to-use mode lets you simulate the color and tonal qualities of color reversal film types loved by professional photographers: the true-to-scene natural look of PROVIA, the vibrant tonality and saturated colors of Velvia, and the silky soft look and beautiful skin tones of ASTIA. The FinePix X100 makes it simple to take photographs with distinctive Fujichrome color - a quality that only film could previously capture.

• Monochrome Photography
  Replicating the effects of monochrome film photography, the FinePix X100 lets you use color filters to expand your photographic interpretation. Heighten contrast with the Ye filter and R filter. Brighten greens and deepen reds with the G filter. Just as you once selected a filter and printing paper to complement your creative vision, the FinePix X100 empowers expression with a choice of an array of image quality enhancement functions.

Expanded Dynamic Range
Dynamic range can be expanded to prevent “blackout” or “washout” of the subject in high contrast lighting and bring out the detail in shadow and highlights. In addition to automatic optimisation, the user can manually select 100%, 200% and 400% dynamic range. Capture natural gradations from the brightest to the darkest parts of the image just as the eye sees them.

Image Quality Control Color

• Tone & Sharpness Adjustment
  Fine-tune image quality with “Color” for color saturation adjustment, “Highlight Tone” and “Shadow Tone” for tweaking contrast in highlights and shadows, and “Sharpness” to stress or soften image outlines. With this detailed image quality control, you can produce an image that precisely matches your creative objective.
• 2 Color Space Types
  Depending on how you intend to use the image, the FinePix X100 lets you choose output color space: sRGB for a standard range of color reproduction on general displays or the broader colour rendition of Adobe RGB®.
• Noise Reduction Control
  Sensitivity versus noise reduction. Depending on your priority, the FinePix X100 lets you choose from 5 levels of noise reduction to adjust the textural quality when shooting high sensitivity scenes.

ISO Sensitivity

• ISO200～6400 Sensitivity Setting Range
  The FinePix X100 lets you expand the normal sensitivity range of ISO200～6400 to ISO100～12800, and by assigning this setting to the Fn Button, extended sensitivity is available at a touch of a button.
• ISO Ceiling Setting & Minimum Shutter Speed Limit
  ISO Auto automatically adjusts the ISO within a range of ISO200 to ISO3200 when it is not possible to get an appropriate exposure. With this control, you can freely set an ISO Auto sensitivity ceiling up to ISO3200 and a minimum shutter speed down to 1/4 sec., highly useful as a safeguard against unintentional high-sensitivity shots and blurring caused by camera shake.
  

Powerful Built-in Auto Bracketing Functions
Empowering you with a choice of 4 different auto bracketing functions (AE, ISO Sensitivity, Dynamic Range and Film Simulation), the FinePix X100 lets you experience the wide world of photographic expression.

• Dynamic Range Bracketing
  Select this bracketing mode, press the shutter once and capture 3 exposures of the same scene with high-speed continuous shooting, each at a different dynamic range setting (100%, 200% and 400%).

• Film Simulation Bracketing
  One press of the shutter produces 3 images of the scene, each with a different Film Simulation effect (PROVIA, Velvia and ASTIA) based on a single exposure.

• AE Bracketing
  One press of the shutter captures 3 shots of the same scene at different exposures. AE bracketing can be set in 1/3, 2/3 and 1 EV steps.

• ISO Sensitivity Bracketing
  Based on a single exposure, this bracketing function automatically reproduces the scene as 3 images, each with a different ISO sensitivity, letting you capture the moment with varying degrees of brightness. Setting is possible in 1/3, 2/3 and 1 EV steps.

5fps High Speed Continuous Shooting
The combination of the high readout speed of the CMOS sensor and the improved processing speed of the EXR Processor enable the FinePix X100 to shoot 5 frames per second (maximum capacity: 10 frames). Capture a series of exposures of moving subjects and other challenging photographic scenes with high-speed continuous shooting performance and later select the best shot.

Focusing

• 49 Points Selectable AF
  Within the screen, the auto focus area is divided into a 49-point matrix (25 points in the case of OVF). AF accurately and swiftly recognizes the primary subject and brings it into crystal clear focus, and also lets you freely select the position of the AF frame. Using the electronic viewfinder and the LCD monitor, you can also change the AF frame size and pinpoint the focusing.

• 0.01s Shutter Time Lag
  When using an OVF you reduce shutter lag (and therefore missed photo opportunities) as your eye and your subject don't have a sensor in between them to delay the transfer of the data.

• High-speed Contrast Detection Auto Focus
  Accelerated by the combination of the high-speed signal readout of the fast CMOS sensor and the newly developed EXR Processor, the contrast detection AF deliver a huge leap in speed and precision so you never miss a shot.

• 2 Manual Focusing Methods
  The distance index bar is displayed in the viewfinder together with the depth of field scale and aperture value, providing helpful guides for focusing. It is also possible to adjust focus by rotating the focus ring while checking the image in Live View. One touch focus point zoom is also available to confirm a sharp focus.

Other Focus Features

• AF Assist Lamp for Low-Light Scenes
  In low light settings when even the subject is hard to see through the viewfinder, the AF Assist Lamp illuminates the subject and assists Auto Focus.

• High-precision AF Even for Macro Shooting
  Even in the case of macro photography where depth-of-field is shallow and focusing requires extreme precision, AF deliver superbly sharp focus for subjects as close as 10cm from the lens.

• Diopter Adjustment Dial
  Located next to the viewfinder, the dial lets you adjust viewfinder focus from -2 to +1m-1 (dpt) to accommodate eyeglass wearers.

Super Intelligent Flash
Adopting Fujifilm's original TTL automatic flash control technology, the built-in high-precision flash system is ready to supplement lighting when shooting small items or capturing special occasions indoors and other low-light scenes. When even more light is required or shooting with the lens hood attached, you can use a separately sold TTL flash.

Motion Panorama 180 - Photo Gallery Quality
As you sweep the camera across the scene, the FinePix X100 captures multiple images and seamlessly stitches them together into a single panorama photo. Even when enlarged to an A3 size print, there is virtually no loss of resolution. Holding the camera horizontally or vertically, Motion Panorama lets you shoot 120° or 180° views.
