FUJIFILM is proud to announce the arrival of the new FinePix S2500HD, a compact and lightweight 12 mega pixel digital camera with powerful Fujinon long-zoom lens.
According to Mr. Kenichi Tanaka, Managing Director, Fujifilm India, “Built around 18x Fujinon lens and Fujifilm’s proprietary image processing, the new FinePix S2500HD delivers remarkably high quality results all the way from wide angle through to telephoto. With unique easy-grip styling, and its small, lightweight design, this model is sturdy enough and can be easily carried around.”
“Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD boasts a 28mm wide-angle start to the zoom range and extends it up to an impressive 504mm at telephoto (18x). From sweeping landscapes, interiors and large group shots to distant sports or wildlife action, FinePix S2500HD is ready for every photographic challenge thrown at it,” said Mr. A. Rajkumar, Country General Manager (DSC), Fujifilm India.
With a mechanically stabilized CCD sensor and high ISO sensitivity (ISO 6400) for anti-blur protection, the combination of these technologies reduces the blurring effect of both hand-shake and subject movement to provide sharp, clean and clear results even at the longest zoom settings or in the most challenging of lighting conditions. With Fujifilm FinePix S2500HD you have the flexibility of framing your shots using the high quality electronic viewfinder or the large, bright 3.0-inch LCD screen. Whichever option you choose, they both offer high resolution image playback and a fast frame rate of 60 fps (frames per second).
Using Fujifilm’s Scene Recognition Auto (SR Auto), the FinePix S2500HD is able to intelligently select the scene type and the shooting conditions present. The camera settings get adjusted accordingly, optimising results and making it easy to take good pictures. FinePix S2500HD now captures HD videos and HD stills enabling you to play them back on any HD ready television for the ultimate viewing experience. Additionally, the FinePix S2500HD features an HDMI mini port which can be connected to an HD ready TV direct via a HDMI cable.
FinePix S2500HD now features Tracking Auto Focus. This useful function allows you to track moving subjects by half-pressing the shutter button and ensures that when you take the shot you capture your subject in the centre of the frame and in perfect focus, leaving no room for frustrating missed shots! To further enhance the existing face detection system, Fujifilm has added two fun and valuable features: Smile & Shoot Mode can recognize the precise moment your subject smiles and releases the shutter only when this happens, ensuring that all your photos are happy ones. Blink Detection warns you if any of your subjects have blinked so that you can re-take the photo if necessary.
Instant Zoom is a versatile feature which enables the user to keep their subject in shot at long distance by offering a wide viewing area around the frame and then cropping in to the subject once the photo is taken. Zoom Bracketing is another useful function enables three shots to be taken at the single press of the button, at varying degrees of magnification (original, 1.4x and 2.0x). This enables instant editing on the camera to choose the ideal shot, rather than having to go back to a PC to facilitate a digital crop.
