The 4th-Generation Super CCD SR
Fujifilm’s Super CCD sensors have already earned renown for
their faithful, film-like imaging qualities. Now, with the develop-

The FinePix F700 incorporates the new 1/1.7-inch Super
CCD SR, featuring 6.2 million* effective pixels (3.1 million S-
pixels and 3.1 million R-pixels). Maximum image size is a high-
resolution 2832

Expanded dynamic range
The new Super CCD SR was developed specifically to deliver
wider dynamic range than ever before possible. Because of their
limited dynamic range, the CCDs used in traditional digital cam-
eras have difficulties reproducing high-contrast images contain-
ing both dark and bright areas, with shadows
tending to lose detail and whites washing out.

To assure better dynamic range, the Super
CCD SR simulates the extended tonal range
characteristics of color negative film, and was
based on a thorough study of how the structure
of film could be applied to CCD design.
Specifically, negative film employs both low-
sensitivity and high-sensitivity layers for each

of film could be applied to CCD design.
Specifically, negative film employs both low-
sensitivity and high-sensitivity layers for each
of the primary RGB colors. The Super CCD SR mimics this
structure by using a combination of low-sensitivity R-pixels and
high-sensitivity S-pixels, employing extremely precise design
and construction for each pixel.

By combining information from both types of sensor ele-
ments, the Super CCD SR achieves approximately four times
greater dynamic range than the preceding 3rd-Generation Super
CCDs. This means significantly greater tonal range — the ability
to capture three-dimensional realism with a fine range of high-
light tonality as well as a superlative shadow detail and texture.

Extended dynamic range is only the start with the FinePix
F700. The next-generation sensor also yields improved resolu-
tion, greater sensitivity, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and
enhanced color purity. In short: digital image quality that truly
challenges photographic film reproduction.
