Faster Operation Speeds

Despite prioritizing the recording of large, high-resolution image files, the
FinePix 6900 Zoom does not compromise on the camera processing speed.
Operation speeds have been made faster, from the time required after switch-
ing on before being able to take a photograph to the speed of the auto focus-
ing and the interval between successive shots. Even the playback speed of
recorded images has been shortened.

At the heart of the FinePix 6900 Zoom is an ASIC (Application Specific

Integrated Circuit) chip for high-speed processing of all camera functions. In
fact, startup takes only 3 seconds and the quick shot feature enables shooting
at minimum 1 second intervals. 

Certain and Convenient High-speed AF System

The AF system utilized in the FinePix 6900 Zoom has not only been made
faster, but also incorporates audible notification that focusing has been com-
pleted, allowing users to decide the best timing for pressing the shutter but-
ton. Even during operation of the AF, the LCD monitor continues to show the
image through the lens, and it is a simple matter to take photos of swiftly
moving objects. Further, using the newly developed one-push auto focus
function, when the camera is set to manual focus mode, the AF function will
help to realize faster manual focusing.

User-friendly Electronic Viewfinder

The FinePix 6900 Zoom comes
with a user-friendly, 110,000-
pixel electronic viewfinder. This
digital viewfinder can display all
the information required for
each shot, including the current
shooting mode, the number of
shots, shutter speed, f-stop and

exposure compensation. As a result, you can confirm all the technical informa-
tion while looking through the viewfinder. You can also take advantage of the
“Picture-in-Picture” function, which doubles the size of the image in the center
of the viewfinder, enabling you to check the accuracy of focusing. 

This electronic viewfinder can be selected to display actual and playback

images instead of the LCD monitor. This feature comes in very handy when it is

Technology Refined to Perfection

hard to see the image on the monitor clearly in a bright environment. The bat-
tery will also last longer when you use the viewfinder instead of the LCD moni-
tor for displaying images. 

SLR Camera-style Operation and Handling

The FinePix 6900 Zoom is dedicated to making
high-end SLR camera enthusiasts feel totally at home
by offering handling similar to conventional TTL SLR
cameras in a design that naturally fits in your hands.
In addition to its shutter speed and aperture dials,
the FinePix 6900 Zoom provides specific buttons for
most other settings, allowing users to operate the
camera according to their creative intuition. 

Compact and Lightweight

Although the FinePix 6900 Zoom incorporates a 6

zoom lens, with the lens part

retracted, the depth of its compact body is a mere 46mm. Further, due to the
alloy exterior that uses magnesium for the body and aluminum for the lens barrel,
a lightweight body has been realized that weighs only 450g with the battery. 

Bright and Clear LCD Monitor

The FinePix 6900 Zoom has a 2-inch, low-temperature polysilicon 130,000-
pixel TFT color LCD monitor. This monitor produces crisp, detailed images
for checking your subjects both indoors and outdoors. 

Various Playback Modes

In Playback Mode, you can view captured still images and motion pictures.
Images and video are displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor. For more
impressive presentation of your still shots and videos, you can use the includ-
ed video cable to connect the camera to a TV. In addition to Auto and Single
Frame playback, you can also enlarge an image up to 18 times using
Playback Zoom and view a series of nine shots simultaneously using the
Multi-Frame function. Further, images cropped using the Playback Zoom can
be recorded as new images (minimum image size 640 

×

480 pixels). 

Other Features

A USB interface

is provided to allow high-speed

transfer of image data to PCs. 

The FinePix 6900 Zoom is powered by a 

NP-80

rechargeable lithium-ion battery

. Not only do

rechargeable batteries save money, but they also
minimize the impact on the environment. The bat-

tery is recharged without removing it from the camera using the standard
accessory AC power adapter.

The pop-up built-in flash

of the FinePix 6900 Zoom will only operate

when the flash is raised. 

The FinePix 6900 Zoom comes with conve-

nient 

FinePixViewer

software, which enables

you to check and transfer your captured images
on a PC monitor. In addition to image checking
and transfer, FinePixViewer lets you connect to
the Internet to access FinePix Internet services*. 

* The contents of this service will differ depending on the 

country in which you live.

FinePix 6900 Zoom features superior expandability with accessories.
