Fujifilm S1 Pro ユーザーズマニュアル

Resolution was once widely held to be dir

ect-

ly pr

oportional to the number of photodiodes

on a CCD. W

e

 now know that the r

elation-

ship is not so simple. Ther

e ar

e many other

factors that determine the image quality

including a camera’

s optic system and image

pr

ocessing. Our answer is the Super CCD

designed to impr

ove total quality of images.

The octagonal-

shaped photodiodes of

the Super CCD give a

larger pixel size than con-

ventional CCDs, while the

interwoven arrangement

allows them to be mor

e

densely packed. The

Super CCD is thus able

to incr

ease both horizon-

tal and vertical r

esolution.

By using unique signal

pr

ocessing that performs

12-bit A/D conversion,

our Super CCD of

fers

high r

esolution along with other attributes

that ar

e just as crucial to image quality

including high sensitivity

, high S/N, a wide

dynamic range, linear color gradation, accu-

rate color r

epr

oduction, and high-speed

responsiveness. By balancing all of these

factors that have an impact on image quali-

ty

, we have cr

eated a camera that of

fers

super

-high r

esolution far exceeding all that

have come befor

e. 

The FinePix S1 Pr

o employs a larger

3.4-megapixel, 23.3 

×

15.6 mm sized Super

CCD image sensor

, newly developed for this

camera. The combination of the enlarged

pixel size thr

ough the use of octagonal-

shaped photodiodes and the larger size of

the Super CCD captur

es a gr

eat deal of light,

resulting in superior image sensing capability

and ultrahigh r

esolution image files with up tp

6.13 million pixels (3,040 

×

2,016 pixels).

By taking full advantage of the new

Super CCD, the Fine Pix S1 Pr

o delivers

pr

ofessional image quality with high r

esolu-

tion, linear tonality fr

om highlights to shad-

ows, well-balanced color r

epr

oduction, low

noise even in shadows, and no blur caused

by camera shake. 

FinePix S1 Pr

o includes a special IC chip

developed by Fujifilm. This chip, known as

an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated

Cir

cuit), contr

ols a wide variety of the cam-

era’

s featur

es including image pr

ocessing.

Thanks to the chip’

s onboar

d RISC-CPU, it

can rapidly execute all of the featur

es

demanded by digital cameras.

This ASIC along with the built-in buf

fer

memory allows FinePix S1 Pr

o to rapidly

shoot images. Unlike other digital SLR cam-

eras, it has a quick shot featur

e that allows

shooting at 0.7 second intervals. It also pr

o-

vides high-speed continuous shooting at

1.5 frames/second (for up to five frames).

On the back of FinePix S1 Pr

o you will find

an LCD monitor for checking the images

you shot and a backlit LCD display for con-

firming and changing camera settings.

The fr

ont of FinePix S1 Pr

o sports a USB

interface. This makes possible the high-

speed transfer of large amounts of image

data stor

ed on the memory car

d to a PC.

Using the dedicated softwar

e, you can even

contr

ol the camera setting and r

emote

shooting fr

om your PC. In addition to a DC

power

-input socket, this interface section

also includes an Audio/V

ideo port that can

be connected with a TV on which you can

check your images.

In addition to a slot for the super

-thin and

compact SmartMedia™ storage car

ds,

FinePix S1 Pr

o also of

fers a CompactFlash™

car

d type I/II (including IBM Micr

odrive™)

slot. Y

ou can even have both types of

media in their r

espective slots and select on

which one you want to stor

e each image

you shoot.
