Fujifilm FinePix A220

“ The 12-MegaPixel A220 both features a 3.0x optical zoom lens that was developed specifically for the A-series by Fujinon and a large, 2.7”, 230k-pixel resolution LCD. It also offers Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization with ISO levels of up to 1600 that automatically chooses the correct light sensitivity and compatible shutter speed, producing the highest quality digital pictures without blur and noise.”

Automatic Scene Recognition

The A220 features Fujifilm's new SR Auto Mode (Automatic Scene Recognition), which enables the camera to intelligently recognizes six types of scenes automatically. For each picture taken in this mode, the cameras will optimize the ideal exposure, focus, white balance and ISO for the scene to ensure the best quality picture is captured with ease.

Other noteworthy features found on the A220 include:

• Face Detection Technology : Fujifilm's renowned Face Detection Technology comes standard in both models.
• Panoramic Shooting Mode : Captures and combines up to three consecutive shots, creating one large panoramic shot.
• Movie Mode : Captures movies with zoom and sound at 30 frames per second with sound.
• Internal Memory : When the SD memory card (sold separately) is filled with images, users have extra internal storage space approx. 20MB on each camera to capture additional pictures.
• AA Battery : Using AA batteries is often most convenient for on-the-go digital camera users as it eliminates the need to charge battery packs, allowing for lots of picture-taking and the ease of battery replacement.

“We wanted to provide consumers with an affordable, easy to use digital camera that still offered a competitive feature set,” said David Troy, marketing manager, Consumer Digital Cameras, Electronic Imaging Division, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. “The new A220 combines this in a highly portable form factor making it easier than ever to ensure that you never miss a shot and the convenience of AA battery power.”
