Fun at Your Fingertips with new 3” Touch screen LCD and Dual Direction GUI
Valhalla, N.Y., January 5, 2011 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation today announced the FinePix Z90 digital
camera, the latest addition to the sleek and stylish range of Z-series
compact cameras that features a large 3” High Resolution Resistive Touch
screen LCD, a 14-MegaPixel CCD sensor, with a FUJINON 5x wide angle
refractive optical zoom lens (28mm equivalent) for added range and
flexibility. The FinePix Z90’s impressive features also include
one-touch 720p HD movie capture, an intuitive Dual Direction GUI that
allows for easy navigating, and “tap and shoot” capabilities for images
and videos. The Z90 also has tagging with automatic upload functions to
YouTube and Facebook.
“The new FinePix Z90 offers a wide touch screen LCD that allows for
the innovative tap and shoot feature,” said David Troy, director of
marketing, Digital Cameras, Electronics Imaging Division, FUJIFILM North
America Corporation. “When you add in the sleek design and colors, plus
movie editing and sequential HD movie capture, this camera is great for
people who want a technology rich digital camera that also looks good.”
Chic Design
The FinePix Z90 features a slim metal chassis and a chic horizontal
sliding lens barrier. At only 17.5mm* thin, the FinePix Z90 is
ultra-portable and can easily be slipped into a handbag or jeans pocket.
It is available in a choice of five stylish colors: matte black, red,
blue, pink and purple.
Easy Web Uploads
Sharing photos online has become an everyday activity for many
people, so Fujifilm includes the Facebook/YouTube Automatic Upload
feature that makes for quicker and easier modes of posting photos/videos
on social networking sites. This feature allows users to identify and
tag a photo for Facebook or YouTube upload. Once the camera is connected
to a PC and MyFinePix Studio software is launched, all marked photos or
movies will upload directly to Facebook or YouTube at the press of a
button.
HD Capability
With 720p HD movie capture, the FinePix Z90 captures vivid images
that can be played back in beautiful detail on your HDTV. In addition,
the FinePix Z90’s one-touch movie button makes it simple to create your
own movie clips, with sequential capture, letting you start and stop in a
single movie clip. The Movie Edit feature allows users to add
personalized finishing touches to footage with in-camera editing, and
the camera also lets users add special effects to their photos including
color tones, contrasts and brightness changes, Diagonal Crop, Collage
and Face Mosaic. With the optional HD Player accessory kit, with
wireless remote control (HDMI cable not included), families can gather
around their home HDTV to enjoy amazingly detailed stills and high
resolution movie playback.
Additional Features
The FinePix Z90 also has the following noteworthy features:
- Tap and Shoot: Provides the ability for one touch focus and
shooting for easy photo taking. After the user taps the focal point of
choice for the shooting scene on the LCD display, the camera
automatically sets the appropriate focus and functions, and then
releases the shutter for optimal one touch picture taking.
- Digital Image Stabilization: Digital Image Stabilization reduces image blur automatically and offers creative adaptability and excellent picture quality.
- Scene Recognition Auto (SR AUTO): This mode intelligently detects the scene-type and shooting conditions and optimizes the camera settings accordingly.
- Face Detection and Automatic Red-eye Removal: To provide
perfectly exposed and focused portrait shots, the FinePix Z90 is fitted
with Fujifilm’s latest Face Detection technology which is able to track
up to 10 faces simultaneously, at almost any angle to the camera. The
system instantly corrects red-eye and then saves both the original and
the corrected image file automatically.
- i-Flash Intelligent Flash: Offers a flash control system which
efficiently controls the level of flash for a given exposure to produce
beautifully balanced flash illumination across the foreground and
background. Gone are the ugly washout shots where the subject is blasted
with light and the background dark and unexposed.
- Motion Panorama Mode: Automatically stitches up to three shots to create a panoramic picture
- Playback Capabilities: Offers a variety of playback features
for easy and immediate sharing such as the widescreen LCD in HD, slide
show, sort, edit and search features, plus Dual Image Display that
splits the screen in various ways to view multiple images at once.
The FinePix Z90 will be available in mid-January 2011 at a retail price of $169.95.
