Drawing upon Fujifilm’s many years of imaging expertise, the Super CCD

features a unique interwoven arrangement of octagonal-shaped photodiodes

that achieves a larger photodiode surface area, contributing to collecting

more light than conventional CCDs. The result: dramatically improved

resolution, greater sensitivity, higher signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, wider dynamic

range and superior color reproduction like never before possible.

The Super CCD HR sensor array represents a miniaturization of Fujifilm’s

Super CCD technology, preserving its performance advantages while

further increasing pixel counts. Despite the smaller size of each pixel, the

Super CCD HR ensures a wide range of ISO sensitivity (including lower as

well as higher sensitivities), higher signal-to-noise ratio, wider tonal range,

and consistently superb color reproduction. You’ll see the difference

immediately: its ultra-high resolution delivers beautifully clear, sharp detail,

and outstanding image quality even at extra-large print sizes.

Everything Fujifilm knows about photography has gone into the image

processor that powers the FinePix cameras. Employing a huge image

database developed over many years, the processor delivers true-to-life

color reproduction and smoother tonality by precisely and accurately

analyzing lighting conditions, and color and tonality of photographic

subjects. Fujifilm’s image processor is on the leading edge of progress in

the field of digital imaging.

The lens plays a vital role in collecting light and transmitting it to the CCD. The FinePix series is equipped with Fujinon lenses, which

have earned a large share of the TV broadcasting camera market with their world-class specifications, excellent resolution and

superior optical technologies. Fujinon lenses make extensive use of aspherical lens surfaces, designed to overcome the limitations

of conventional lenses by focusing light exactly on one point and reducing the number of lens elements. A slimmer lens makes it

possible to produce compact digital cameras with even more versatile high-ratio zoom functionality and excellent resolution.

Developed by emulating the structure of color film, Fujifilm's Super CCD SR

combines two different types of photodiodes: large, highly sensitive

"S-pixels", and smaller, low-sensitivity "R-pixels" optimized for greater

shooting flexibility. By combining information from both types of sensor

elements, the Super CCD SR effectively expands dynamic range while

boosting sensitivity. Benefits include three-dimensional realism with a fine

range of highlight tonality as well as superlative shadow detail and texture.

It also yields improved resolution, higher signal-to-noise ratio, and

enhanced color purity. The newly developed Super CCD SR II, initially

incorporated in the FinePix S3 Pro, has evolved, taking its predecessor's

advantages to the next level.
