Fujifilm FINEPIX F401 4.0MILL. F401 User Manual

At the heart of the FinePix F401’s outstanding performance is its exclusive
1/2.7-inch 3rd-Generation Super CCD sensor. With 2.1 million effective pix-
els, the camera delivers superb quality images of 2304

recording pixels. Along with a newly developed image-processing algorithm,
the Super CCD offers significant improvement in overall image quality, with
class-leading sensitivity, rich tonality, high S/N ratio and natural color.

Greater sensitivity for more versatility
In addition to improved image quality, the 3rd-
Generation Super CCD offers an unrivaled wide range
of sensitivities, from ISO 200 equivalency to ultra-
high-speed ISO 800* and 1600* performance. That
makes it ideal for capturing atmospheric low-light
images without the aid of flash, or for freezing fast-
moving subjects. And thanks to newly developed Noise
Reduction Technology, noise will not significantly
affect photos, even at the highest sensitivity setting.
