i -TTL Flash with monitor pre-f lash 
for precision control of f lash output

When working with i-TTL-compatible outboard 
flash equipment, the i-TTL f lash system with 
monitor pre-f lash metering technology can determine 
the appropriate flash output by emitting a flash 
immediately prior to the shot and metering both 
ambient light and the reflected light from the 
primary subject with the 1,005-pixel RGB sensor. 
Compared with conventional D-TTL, i-TTL 
enhances the frequency and output of monitor 
flash for more precise lighting. Moreover with the 
attachment of a G- or D-type AF Nikkor lens and 
the acquisition of subject ranging data from the 
lens, it can determine the ideal flash volume. 

“Function Lock” with password 
protection prevents costly mishaps

Set password and lock everything except for playback 
and shutter release. No accidental operation of the 
command dial and function buttons. With a choice of 
Total Lock, Basic Function Lock and Lock by 
Function, it is easy to select or customize a security 
level to match your needs.

Basic Function Lock: Lock the entire setup menu 

(except Function Lock and Format) 

Lock by Function: Select specific functions/settings 

to lock (Format, Erase, Aperture, Shutter Speed, 
Exposure Correction, White Balance, ISO Sensitivity, 
Exposure Mode, Flash Correction and other image 
quality settings)

Bar-code Management Function for easy 
management and “commenting” of image files 

Connect an RS-232C compatible bar- code reader * and 
append various photographic remarks to image files for 
more efficient image file management and workflow. 

High-capacity Lithium-Ion Battery tells you 
the remaining capacity and battery health

Shooting Functions

With its powerful 1,005 pixel-RGB sensor, 3D 
Color Matrix Metering not only uses conventional 
exposure algorithms but also detects highlight area 
size and calculates their optimum exposure value 
with an exposure assessment algorithm. When 
shooting in cloudy conditions or a subject that 
is white overall, it can correct for potential 
underexposure, or in the case of photographing a 
subject against a dark background, it can reduce 
washout. 

Shutter release durability - 
tested to exceed approx.100,000 cycles

Shutter release boasts not only high precision but also 
superb durability. A shock-absorbing mirror balancer 
minimizes mirror bounce after shutter release, 
bringing it instantly to a standstill while vibration 
suppression has enhanced silent operation. Also 
improved mirror motion speed significantly reduces 
image blackout.  

Satisfy scene conditions and your artistic vision 
with a choice of  4 exposure control modes

Select from 4 exposure modes: [P] Program, [S] 
Shutter Priority Auto, [A] Aperture Priority Auto and 
[M] Manual.

AF Lock-On Function with 
predictive focus tracking 

Even if the subject momentarily shifts out of the focus 
area or another object comes between the subject and 
the camera,  the camera continues to track and adjust 
focus to the subject without lens hunting.

11- point AF system for high-speed, 
high-precision focusing 

All eleven focus areas support up to F5.6, and the 
range finding is effective down to -1EV of 
brightness. Everything from focus accuracy to 
subject compensation/tracking and response have 
been enhanced by a new cutting-edge algorithm. 

3D Color Matrix Metering 
for Precision Evaluation of Lighting 
Under Diverse Conditions

From IS0100 to ISO3200, 
select the optimum sensitivity for any scene

Selectable in 1/3 EV steps, FinePix S5 Pro offers a 
sensitivity range of IS0100 to IS03200. When the 
brightness of the subject exceeds the exposure 
control range in the [P],  [S] or [A] modes, or an 
appropriate level of exposure cannot be achieved 
for the Manual [M] mode shutter speed and 
aperture, it automatically adjusts sensitivity within 
the range of  ISO100 to 3200 for optimum exposure.  

Built- in Pop-up Flash 
with i- TTL flash control

The built - in pop -up flash features high-precision 
flash output using i -TTL flash control. Ready for

subject, it selects the corresponding focus area and 
provides optimum focus.

  

Group Dynamic-AF

Select and activate a cross-pattern group of 5 focus 
areas: the center area selected by the user, and the 
areas above, below, to the left and right. 

Metering is calculated with 75% weighting on the 
central viewfinder area. You can select the metered 
area diameter from 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, and 
Average in the setup menu.

Working together with the 11-point AF system, Spot 
Metering evaluates the optimum exposure of a spot 
with a diameter of about 3mm (approx. 2% of the 
entire screen) in the selected focus area. 

Select a single area out of the 7-point or 11-point focus 
areas to restrict focusing to only the selected area.

Even if the subject momentarily moves out of one focus 
area, other focus areas track and keep it in sharp focus.
