Fujifilm f601 Brochura

ital camera**, is realized while maintain-
ing image quality. This means that in addi-
tion to realizing superior image quality
and natural colors under normal lighting
situations, the camera enables outstand-
ing fast-action and non-flash shooting
under low-light conditions when set to
higher ISO settings, which also helps to
eliminate camera shake from hand-held
picture taking. The Super CCD in the
FinePix F601 Zoom uses innovative noise
reduction technology to maintain image
quality across all ISO sensitivities by reduc-
ing the noise that often occurs in images
taken at higher ISO settings by digital cam-
eras with conventional CCDs.

The image quality of the FinePix F601
Zoom has been improved over previous
models through redesigning the various
devices that determine quality. In particu-
lar, the auto white balance and automatic
exposure (AE) have been designed to best
match the characteristics of the new
Fujifilm 3rd generation Super CCD, while
highly precise automatic focusing (AF) has

also been realized. The interaction
between these devices allows the captur-
ing of the most appropriate images for
each shooting situation, realizing a higher
level of overall image quality than ever
before.  

The FinePix F601 Zoom’s advanced Super
Intelligent Auto White Balance precisely
detects the lighting conditions of the sub-
ject, even in situations with several differ-
ent lighting sources including flash, and
evaluates each factor to deliver highly
accurate and natural colors.   

• Super Intelligent Auto Exposure (AE) 
The 64-zone TTL metering system consis-

tently produces perfect exposures, even
under the most difficult lighting conditions.  

The auto focus system gives quicker and
more accurate focusing. Moreover, the
FinePix F601 Zoom also allows focusing on
specific areas in the viewfinder using the
AF Area Focus mechanism.

3✕ Optical Zooming with Digital
Zoom Function

The FinePix F601 Zoom features a high
performance Super EBC Fujinon 3✕ optical
zoom lens (equivalent to 36 to 108mm for
a 35mm camera) and an additional digital
zooming function up to 4.4✕ (in 1280

The FinePix F601 Zoom offers Auto and pro-
grammed Scene Position modes, which auto-
matically control exposure, white balance and
other adjustments to give great photos, easily.

The FinePix F601 Zoom offers an extend-
ed ISO range allowing selection of the
most appropriate sensitivity from five set-
tings equivalent to 160, 200, 400, 800*
and 1600* to match the shooting condi-
tions. The ultra-high sensitivity of 1600,

Fujifilm’s 3rd generation Super CCD system is not
just a new CCD, but instead reflects a comprehen-
sive improvement in image quality through consid-
eration of the complete system including the CCD
and new LSI.

Generally speaking, increasing the sensitivity of

a CCD amplifies the noise in the images. However,
with the 3rd generation Super CCD system, this
problem has been resolved through further
improvement of the CCD sensitivity characteristics
and the use of Fujifilm’s new Noise Reduction
Technology which uses a new LSI to process both
the luminescence and chroma information from
captured images. As a result, the 3rd generation
Super CCD system offers high sensitivity shooting 

while maintaining outstanding picture quality.
Fujifilm has also newly developed a Pixel Data
Coupling Technology that is applied by the new LSI
to realize higher ISO sensitivities of 800* and 1600*.
