Discover the Expressive Capabilities of
the 4th-Generation Super CCD SR
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-
ment of the Super CCD SR, the FinePix line takes another step
into the future.
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 ×2128 (6.03 million) recording pixels.
* The largest number of pixels in the 1/1.7-inch class (as of February 2003)
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 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.
Waiting for a camera that combines the imaging performance of a 35mm film camera with the
versatility of digital photography? Meet the FinePix F700. It’s as comfortable in the hand and
convenient to use as the best film-based cameras. And, thanks to the exclusive 4th-Generation
Super CCD, it’s unparalleled in its ability to capture beautiful digital images.

THE FINEPIX F700: NO-COMPROMISE DESIGN, OPERATION, AND IMAGE QUALITY
Enhanced image processing and quick response
The FinePix F700’s new state-of-the-art LSI features an
advanced image processing algorithm to enable high speed pro-
cessing, smooth tonality and high signal-to-noise ratio. The new
chip offers fast start-up and shooting interval times. In fact, the
FinePix F700 is ready to shoot approximately 1.2 seconds after
switching it on.
CCD-RAW file format
To preserve the utmost in image quality, the FinePix F700 is able
to save captured images in CCD-RAW file format* (14-bits each
for R, G, and B). Despite the large size of these files, the new
LSI processes images with remarkable speed, so you’re always
ready for the next shot.
* CCD-RAW files can be converted into TIFF files with the included “RAW File Converter
LE” software.
Wide range of ISO settings
With the FinePix F700, you’re free to select any ISO-equivalent
sensitivity from a medium-speed 200 to an ultra-fast 800 and
1600*, just as you would choose film type depending on subject
and shooting conditions. The higher ISO settings excel at fast
action and non-flash shooting in low-light conditions, as well as
helping to prevent camera shake.
* When ISO 1600 is selected, resolution is automatically set to 1280 x 960 pixels.
Symmetrical camera design
The styling of the FinePix F700 takes its cue from the clean
layout of film-based compact cameras. The metal-clad body
features a symmetrical layout with the lens and LCD screen at
the center of the front and back respectively – the LCD is
positioned directly behind the lens, aligned on the same plane,
eliminating discrepancies in the image. And this centrally
positioned lens and LCD produce ideal ergonomics for hold-
ing and operating the camera.
High performance 6.6✕zooming
The FinePix F700 features a fast and respon-
sive f/2.8 Super EBC Fujinon 3✕optical
zoom lens that is equivalent to 35-105mm on
a 35mm camera. By designing the lens specif-
ically for the sensor of the FinePix F700,
Fujifilm’s engineers were able to ensure outstanding pictorial
results from wide angle to telephoto. Combined with smooth
digital zooming up to 2.2✕(in 1280 ×960-pixel mode), the
camera can effectively magnify images up to approximately
6.6✕(224mm equivalent).
Comprehensive user controls
From total automated ease to full manual operation, the FinePix
F700 gives you exactly as much control over the picture-taking
process as you like – including a unique new way to set all major
shooting parameters with a single button.
Photo Mode Button:An entirely new concept
in digital camera operation, this button gives
you control over all image quality parameters,
including sensitivity (AUTO* or MANUAL:
ISO equivalent 200, 400, 800, and 1600**),
and color (Standard, Chrome, and B&W). The Chrome color
setting, for example, slightly boosts contrast and saturation for a
look that resembles color slide film. When reviewing images,
this control can also be used to set DPOF for printing.
* If you select AUTO for the ISO setting, the camera automatically selects the appropri-
ate ISO (ISO equivalent 160 to 400).
** When ISO1600 is selected, resolution is automatically set to1280 ×960 pixels.
Continuous Shooting Select Button: Lets you
choose instantly among three continuous
shooting modes: “Top-5 Frame” (5 frames/sec-
ond for one second when shutter button is
pressed), “Final-5 Frame” (5 frames/second for
one second just before shutter button is released*), and “Long-
Period Continuous Shooting”. Long-Period Continuous Shooting
is available only inAuto Programmed mode and forces the reso-
lution to 1280 ×960 pixels, but allows you to capture up to 40
frames at a continuous 1.8 frames/second.
* Although you can shoot up to 25 frames (5 frames/second for 5 seconds) in this con-
tinuous mode, only the five frames just before the shutter button is released are actual-
ly captured.
Continuous AF Button: Simply hold your fin-
ger on this button to keep a moving subject in
continuous focus. Whatever the mode, the auto
focus system of the FinePix F700 offers quick-
er and more accurate focusing in any situation,
including low light. The camera also lets you focus on specific
areas in the viewfinder using theAFArea Focus mechanism,
without having to lock and recompose the shot.
Versatile exposure options
The FinePix F700 provides six different ways
to get the exposure you want:Auto mode for
the ultimate in ease, plus ProgrammedAE,
Aperture-PriorityAE (a range of 13 f-steps,
from F2.8 to F8), Shutter Speed-PriorityAE
(1/1000 to 3 seconds), Manual, and Scene Position modes. The
latter gives you instant access to four special preset program
modes: Portrait, Landscape, Sports, and Night Scene.
To handle the widest possible variety of light conditions, the
FinePix F700 also provides three light metering choices: 64-TTL
Multi, Spot, andAverage. Like a 35mm camera, the FinePix
F700 has an exposure compensation button on the back of cam-
era. This button allows you to easily correct exposure from –2 to
+2 EV in 1/3-EV increments.
Ultra-sophisticated Auto White Balance
The Super Intelligent Auto White Balance of the FinePix F700
precisely detects and evaluates lighting conditions on your
subjects, even in situations with several different light sources
including flash, to deliver highly accurate, natural colors.
Manual shooting capability
If you enjoy having full control over your camera, you’ll
appreciate the FinePix F700’s manual shooting features. In
fact the FinePix F700 boasts some of the most comprehensive
manual controls – all designed to help you take photographs
your way. They include manual white balance, exposure com-
pensation, ISO sensitivity, auto exposure bracketing, macro
shooting, slow synchro shooting, sharpening, preview and
post-view functions.
“Motion Photo” VGA movie recording
The FinePix F700’s movie mode offers 640 ×480 (approx. 223
seconds) and 320 ×240 pixels (approx. 7.3 minutes*) at a full 30
frames/second with sound. Captured video clip images are
smooth and highly detailed, and recorded in the Motion JPEG
(AVI) format, so that you can also enjoy viewing each frame as a
high-quality still image.
* When using with 256MB xD-Pictue Card˛ (DPC-256)
User-friendly 1.8-inch LCD monitor
To shoot well you need to see well. That’s why the FinePix F700
