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.
