Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd

The 10-MegaPixel FinePix Z20 fd comes in four luminous colors - Jet Black, Wasabi Green, Hot Pink and Ice Blue - an ultra-portable design, a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5" LCD screen and packs 45MB of internal memory to give you some extra room when your memory card is full. The style-savvy FinePix Z20 fd also introduces Fujifilm's handy new Dual Blog Mode that automatically resizes any still image or movie you've captured, letting you post pictures and videos to blogs, video-sharing websites like YouTube, or e-mail to friends with ease.

Face Detection w/ Automatic Red Eye Correction

The new Z20fd Finepix digital still camera features Face Detection to significantly improve your picture taking by identifying human subjects' faces in the frame (up to 10 faces) and in real time, determining the optimal focus and exposure settings for the absolute best results possible in any shooting conditions. Behind Fujifilm's Face Detection technology is a newly developed LSI chip combined with patented software that allows the FinePix Z20fd digital still camera to reach a level of performance in digital photography never before possible. And the sophisticated, intelligent software algorithms detect red-eye and correct it in-camera. More than just red-eye reduction...this is red-eye elimination, after the image has been captured, to assure every picture looks its best.

Picture Stabilization Prevents Blurry Images

The FinePix Z20fd with Picture Stabilization will automate professional photographic techniques to help reduce camera shake, freeze subject movement and improve low light background detail. Picture Stabilization utilizes higher sensitivities, up to ISO 1600 in the Z20fd, an incredibly high signal to noise ratio, and faster shutter and operational speeds to deliver virtually blur free images where conventional digital cameras cannot.

Higher Sensitivity ISO1600 at Full Resolution

The Finepix Z20fd features high sensitivity of up to 1600 ISO at full resolution. Combined with Fujfilm's advanced processor capabilities, shooting in low light environments with the Z20fd yeilds exceptional performance with less noise.

Available in 4 colors: Jet Black, Ice Blue, Wasabi Green, Hot Pink

The FinePix Z20fd is designed with style and fashion in mind for the youthful photographer that's on the move. Four exciting and vibrant color schemes are available; Hot Pink, Jet Black, Wasabi Green and Ice Blue.

xD / SD / SD-HC Media Compatible Slot

The Finepix Z20fd features an xD/SD/SD-HC compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD Picture Card or SD media to store and transfer your photos. This convenient and flexible capability assures compatibility with a wider variety of applications than ever before, and allows users to choose the media technology that is right for them.

Sharing made simple

There's no fun in taking pictures if you can't share them, and the FinePix Z20fd makes it easier than ever with fast, easy wireless transfer of images between cameras using IrSimple™. For users wanting to share their creative output with a wider audience, the FinePix Z20fd's new Dual Blog mode automatically resizes any still image or movie you've captured, letting you post pictures and videos to blogs, video-sharing websites like YouTube, or e-mail to friends with ease. The FinePix Z20fd's impressive new full motion MPEG-4 video mode makes capturing and sharing internet-friendly video clips easier than ever. Using the Successive Movie mode, in-camera editing allows for the creation of a 60 second movie clip, even when shooting in two or more scenes is desired. Start and restart multiple times to build a 60-second compilation, and edit the start and end points.
