zoom lens has been

developed specially for the MX-2900
Zoom’s ultrahigh-resolution CCD.
With eight elements in eight groups,
this EBC-coated lens delivers cover-
age equivalent to the versatile
35–105 mm range of a 35 mm cam-
era. Responding smoothly and
immediately, it’s exactly what you
need for new forms of digital expres-

sion. And the precision of 2.3 million pixels gives you superior image
quality even when optical zooming is combined with the Digital 2.5

THE QUALITY SHOWS

THE CREATIVE MOMENT

OPEN ARCHITECTURE

2.3-Megapixel CCD
There are 2.3 million square pixels packed in the MX-2900 Zoom’s
1/1.7-inch CCD. With this ultrahigh resolution, it raises digital quality to
another level and creates images as large as 1,800

1,200 pixels. And

it’s all done with the confidence that takes photo-like results for granted. 

The CCD’s higher integration also gives you a 3:2 aspect ratio—

ideal for shots of large groups or endless landscapes. Enlarge an
image or trim it to alter the composition. Even with the changes, you
can count on Fujifilm quality.  

Primary-Color Filter and Auto White Balance
When you examine an image taken with the MX-2900 Zoom, you’ll
notice how the skin tones look natural, the green leaves say it’s spring-
time, and the sky is 
a luminous blue. One
source of this accuracy is
the advanced spectral
characteristics of the 
MX-2900 Zoom’s RGB 
primary-color filter. Along
with Auto White Balance,
it ensures that the colors
are faithful and vibrant. 

The MX-2900 Zoom is so
intelligent that it can follow
your intuition. You can
trust Auto White Balance
to read the scene and
determine the appropriate
setting automatically, for
example, and the high-
precision AF system will
be ready when you are.

For outstanding results in varied lighting, there’s also the sensitivity of
Programmed AE with 64-zone metering. 

Even with the convenience of automa-
tion, creative control comes first.
There’s manual focusing as well as AF,
and you can select Aperture-Priority AE
or the Manual Mode to set both the
shutter speed and F-stop. 

Auto White Balance is rounded out

by six manual settings. According to the lighting and your goals, you
can decide if Multi, Spot or Average metering is best. And when it’s
nearly dark outside or a scene is backlit, use the Slow Synchro mode
to automatically reduce the shutter speed and capture the nuances of
the background. 

Dual RISC Processors
Even though the MX-2900 Zoom has the ultrahigh resolution of 2.3
million pixels, it doesn’t keep you waiting. Only instants after you turn
on the camera, it’s ready for action. And the interval between frames
has been shortened, so you won’t miss a shot. 

One key is the two high-speed RISC processors with on-board

DRAM. Along with Fujifilm’s original processing algorithm, they boost
performance and maintain image quality. 

Mode Dial and Four-Direction Button 
All the controls are right at hand. Simply turn the Mode Dial and then
use the Four-Direction Button to go to a setting. Quickly and easily,
they’ll take you to everything needed for setup, shooting, playback and
data transfer.

Guidelines help
you create a
balanced com-
position, no
matter what
your subject

is. This assistant shows the Scene, Group Shot or Portrait format in
the LCD Monitor. To use it, simply press the Four-Direction Button,
and then adjust the position and proportions of your subject. It’s the
nearly foolproof way to create images with a professional look.

Large LCD Monitor
The 2-inch LCD Monitor is made of low-temperature polysilicon, and
it has 130,000 pixels. Indoors or outside, that’s the formula for a
crisp, detailed image for checking or showing to someone else.
When you use the monitor as a viewfinder, you’ll find the subject
looks smooth and natural, even with the MX-2900 Zoom’s ultrahigh-
resolution CCD.

Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts and lasts — which means it’s
both economical and easy on the environment. A typical charge keeps
on going for approximately 200 shots with the flash used half the time
and the LCD Monitor off. 

To make sure you capture every
moment, use the MX-2900
Zoom’s Continuous Shooting
Mode. Perfect for action pho-

tography or telling a story in pictures, it shoots up to nine consecutive
images* at a superfast 3 frames per second.

New File System and DPOF
The MX-2900 Zoom complies with the Design rule for Camera File sys-
tem, so you can use different digital cameras to record on the same
media. You can also choose Digital Printing Order Format (DPOF)
recording for simplified output at home or a service bureau.

The MX-2900 Zoom has been designed for
the most demanding of digital photogra-
phers, and that means connectivity was a

key develop-
ment priority.
You’ll see why
it’s so important
when you think
of the control
and creative

possibilities of using an external flash with
the Hot Shoe. You’ll also want to have the
optional Adapter Ring with a 43 mm thread,
so you can add filters for polarized outdoor
photography and other effects. And there’s
an optional Wide-Angle Conversion Lens 
for a focal length equivalent to the 28 mm
setting of a 35 mm camera.

Digital Printer NX-70 
Available separately, the NX-70 uses Fujifilm’s original Thermo-
Autochrome (TA) system to achieve image quality close to the level of
conventional color prints. Along with its
306 dpi resolution, there’s the conve-
nience of clean handling and a
SmartMedia™ Card slot for immediate
output without transferring files to a PC.
