Fujifilm has launched the compact, portable and stylish Finepix F40fd digital camera. It packs advanced photographic capabilities like Face Detection Technology, a hardware based system using Fujifilm's proprietary dedicated LSI chip, which can detect up to 10 human faces in a scene in 5/100's of a second, and Dual Shot Mode, a convenient function that takes two shots in rapid succession, one with flash and one without, letting the user decide on the best picture.
Frequently, pictures taken in evening environments, birthday parties or any dim-lit situation can create problems for some digital cameras. The FinePix F40fd allows users to capture the moment as their eye sees it, with high clarity and low noise, using Fujifilm's Real Photo technology.
To make it easy for consumers to achieve blur-free results, the FinePix F40fd also features Fujifilm's "Picture Stabilization" mode. Not only does Picture Stabilization reduce the "blur" effect from the photographer’s hand-shake, it also adjusts for subject movement, and compensates for low light shooting, making it a comprehensive solution to prevent blurry photos.
In addition to these advantages, the FinePix F40fd possesses a number of other impressive features:
* xD/SD Compatible SD slot
* New icon-based Graphic User Interface (GUI)
* Special Scene Modes
* IR-Simple
* Large LCD: 2.5 wide-view LCD with 230,000 pixel VGA resolution
The FinePix F40fd will debut in March 2007 at a retail price of $299.
