With a very comparative price tag this camera is sure to get a wide and serious attention.”
FinePix S1800 comes 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. Using Fujifilm’s Scene Recognition Auto (SR Auto), the FinePix S1800 cleverly selects the scene type and the shooting conditions present. The camera settings get adjusted accordingly, optimizing results and making it easy to take good pictures.
Instant Zoom is an adaptable feature which enables the users 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.
This camera also have Tracking Auto Focus feature. This 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.
“S1800 is perfect for amateur photographers who want an affordable, step-up digital camera as well as for seasoned shooters who want SLR features. I am sure that with such amazing features and stunning picture quality this camera will be an instant hit among our customers. It’s price tag of Rs. 14, 999 makes it the cheapest super-zoom camera,” said Mr. A. Rajkumar, Country General Manager (DSC), Fujifilm India.
