Fuji Introduces New FinePix Z3 Zoom

Valhalla, NY, May 30, 2006 – Continuing its history of developing digital cameras that look as good as the pictures they take, Fujifilm today announced the launch of the 5.1 MegaPixel FinePix Z3, the latest model in Fujifilm’s slim and stylish Z-Series of digital cameras and the successor to the FinePix Z1.

With an updated body and a new metallic blue second color – – to go along with the traditional silver, the FinePix Z3 appeals to the most fashion-conscious consumer searching for an ultra-portable digicam that looks good as it takes great pictures.

The Z3 features a 5th generation Super CCD sensor and a 2nd generation RP (Real Photo) Processor. It combines higher light sensitivities (up to ISO 1600) with faster shutter speeds to stabilize pictures and reduce blur caused by both camera shake and subject movement. The Intelligent-Flash system can detect the subtle lighting differences within a scene, and then light the subject accordingly with a variety of flash intensities. The “Natural Light” Shooting Mode preserves the scene mood and enhances background detail by shooting with faster shutter speeds at higher light sensitivities (if necessary) with a suppressed flash. The ‘Dual Shooting Mode’ quickly shoots two images in rapid succession – one with and one without the flash – saving both.
