FinePix Z20fd Features and Benefits
The pocketable 3x optical zoom camera
For portability, the Z20fd features internal lenses to zoom, rather than extending from the camera body. This maintains the slimline proportions so popular in Fujifilm's Z series cameras. Despite its compact size, there are no compromises with optical clarity and speed of operation. The lens is robust, reliable, and delivers sharp pictures every time.
In a snap
The camera controls have also been designed with you in mind. The menus are accessed by two circular rocker buttons, while the GUI (graphical user interface) is clear, easy to use and allows super-fast access to the camera's many features.
The FinePix Z20fd also features new ‘dual shutter releases’ which means that at the touch of a button you are ready to take still shots, and with the touch of another you are instantly ready to capture a movie. This together with the Z20fd’s advanced movie capture capabilities means you’ll never miss a precious moment again.
Easy to use movie capture and editing
The FinePix Z20fd's impressive new full motion MPEG-4 video mode makes capturing and sharing internet-friendly video clips easier than ever - with a single press of the movie capture button!
In addition, you can edit and join movies together inside the camera to create up to 60 second compilations. This combined with Fujifilm's technology to reduce image blur caused by camera shake or low-light conditions means your movies will look better than ever. This just leaves you ready to upload to your favourite websites!
Big screen viewing
For viewing your pictures or sharing with friends, the Z20fd has a superb 2.5" LCD screen with a resolution of 230,000 pixels, you can't get much better. Sensing ambient light, the LCD automatically adjusts brightness for optimum viewing indoors or outdoors.
Unlike some inferior cameras, the LCD is protected by a scratch resistant coating, so even in your pocket the screen has its own protection. And for showing off to friends, it even allows you to navigate up to 100 thumbnail images on screen at the same time.
Ultra-fast Face Detection with red eye removal
Featuring Fujifilm's acclaimed ultra-fast Face Detection technology, which will seek out faces in the darkness of a party to give perfectly focused and exposed pictures every time and instantly finds and corrects any red eye from every face in the frame.
Get the perfect photo - even with flash
Fujifilm’s Intelligent Flash system detects subtle lighting differences within a scene, and then varies the flash intensity accordingly. It also uses the high sensitivity of the FinePix Z20fd to enable the camera to use less flash, preventing that "blasted with light" effect.
In addition, the Natural Light & Flash mode takes two photos in quick succession, one with flash and one without. Both photos are then displayed side by side for quick comparison so that you can decide which one to keep.
No more blurry pictures
You will instantly appreciate the benefits of Fujifilm's Super CCD sensor. The increased surface area means it is far more sensitive to light, with faster shutter speeds to reduce image blur and reduce the need for flash in low light.
The Picture Stabilisation mode on the Z20fd uses high sensitivity (up to 1600 ISO) to help reduce camera shake, freeze subject movement and improve low-light background detail to deliver virtually blur free images.
A mode for every occasion
No matter what the event or where you travel, your Finepix Z20fd is ready with 14 easy–to–select modes bringing you a simple point-and-shoot camera with the ideal automatic settings for key features such as shutter speed and exposure. The 14 scene modes include Party, Beach, Portrait, Snow and Night modes.
Photo 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 websites or e-mail to friends with ease.
