IS Pro Advanced Features

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.  

11-point AF system for high-speed, 

high-precision focusing 

From IS0100 to ISO3200, select the

optimum sensitivity for any scene

Low  light  photography  is  critical  to  forensic  and 
scientific  photography,  that’s  why  the  Fujifilm  IS  Pro 
offers  selectable  1/3  EV  steps,  with  an  impressive  ISO 
range from ISO100 to ISO3200.

 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. 

White Balance Mode with 9 presets 

White balance is less critical in UV and IR Photography, 
however when shooting in visible light with a UVIR cut 
filter, it’s nice to now the IS Pro offers an “Auto” mode 
for automatic assessment of light sources

 or select one 

of  the  white  balance  presets:  Incandescent  Light, 
Fluorescent  Lamp  (1-5),  Fine,  Flash,  Shade  and  Color 
Temperature.

  For  more  accurate  white  balances  the  IS 

Pro  provides  up  to  5  Custom  white  balance  settings, 
and fine tuning for each white balance setting.

Face Zoom In

Face Zoom In function puts 

high-accuracy face detection to work

With  a  press  of  the  Face  Zoom  In  button  on  the  rear 
panel,  this  function  instantly  and  simultaneous  detects 
up to 10 faces in an image and zooms in for an enlarged 
and  sequential  display  of  each  for  easy  checking  of 
facial details, and focus on the LCD monitor. This smart 
function 

fills the gap in law enforcement surveillance and 

portrait photography workflow.

• Single-area AF

[4 Focus Modes to Match Scene Requirements]

• Dynamic-area AF
• Dynamic-area AF with Closest Subject Priority

Solid Body

Rugged magnesium-alloy body 

for extreme shooting conditions

The tough and lightweight magnesium alloy shell of the 
FinePix  IS  Pro  frees  you  to  focus  on  getting  the  photo 
and  not  worrying  about  your  equipment  under  severe 
shooting  conditions.  Every  seam  and  joint  has  been 
carefully sealed to prevent invasion of moisture and dust.    

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.

• Group Dynamic-AF

The IS Pro is a very unique DSLR as it is equipped with 
a Manual Focus mode in combination with an industry 
first Live Image CCD Preview Mode for focusing. Most 
often alternative light wavelength photography requires 
manual focusing. This is due in part to the very different 
light refraction properties of the visible and IR portions 
of the light spectrum as they pass through the lens. The 
IS Pro’s auto focusing technology is based on Nikon’s 
cutting-edge algorithms for the visible light portion of 
the spectrum, while the more complex nature of unseen 
UV and IR light is more suited to manual focusing aided 
by a FUJIFILM’S unique Live Image Preview technology.

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

When  working  with  i-TTL-compatible  outboard 
flash  equipment,  the  i-TTL  flash  system  with 
monitor  pre-flash  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

Lock the command dial and button functions with 
password protection to pre-empt workplace errors.

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. 

Bar  coded  data  from 

evidence,  forensic  ALS 
and  filter  setups, 
automotive  VIN 
tags, 

property 

tags,  mug  shots, 
and  much  more  can 
be cataloged along with
every picture.

Camera TIFF Processing and

RAW+JPEG Mode

Most  digital  SLR  cameras  no  longer  have  in-camera 
TIFF Processing, and instead have replaced it with RAW. 
However TIFF is a highly useful option for forensic finger 
print and document investigators, so the IS Pro offers an 
optional in-camera TIFF processing mode. This firmware 
update temporarily disables the RAW capture mode and 
enables  TIFF  capture  in  a  choice  of  three 
resolutions.

Simultaneously  record  both  RAW  and 

JPEG  files  of  the  same  image  for  immediate 
viewing and distribution. JPEG data can be saved 
in  either  L  (4256×2848  pixels),  M  (3024×2016 
pixels) and S (2304×1536pixels) sizes. 

Special required cable sold separately.

With  its  powerful  1,005  pixel-RGB  sensor,  3D  Color 
Matrix Metering II 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 without 

lens  filters  the  combined  effect  of  infrared  and  visible 
light  can  exceed  the  intended  visible  light  metering 
range  of  the  IS  Pro.    Slight  exposure  corrections  are 
common  place  in  alternative  light  photography  but  are 
made  easier  with  the  IS  Pro’s  digital  LCD  display  with 
histogram.    The  immediacy  of  this  feedback  makes 
corrections  and  evaluations  faster  than  film  based  UV 
and IR photography methods.

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 
advanced  wireless  lighting,  the  built-in 
Commander  function  serves  as  the  master  for 
remote  wireless  control  of  up  to  2  “slaved” 
groups.  With  a  guide  number  of  approximately 

12  (ISO100  •m,  20°C),  it  provides  view  angle 

coverage  for  an  18mm  lens.  Convenient 
functions  such  as  repeating  flash  for 
multiple-exposure  photography  and  modeling 
flash  for  assessing  overall  lighting  prior  to 
shooting are also available. 

The IS Pro is compatible with all

 D/G-type AF Nikkor 

lenses with built-in CPU including the AF-S series, 
and is also ready for manual focus Ai Nikkor lenses 
and  the  AF-VR  lenses  with  camera  shake 
correction. 

For superior UV photography, a quartz lens 

is  highly  recommended.  The  IS  Pro’s  system  has 
firmware  settings  that  can  accommodate  older  style 
non-CPU  based  lenses,  many  of  which  retain  useful 
markings for IR focusing shifts.

 

Multi-Data Display Function for a 

precise grasp of captured image data

In  addition  to  a  standard  histogram  display,  you 
can  check  color  and  brightness  for  each  RGB 
channel  with  the  RGB  histogram  or  receive 
“washout”  warnings.  You  can  also  confirm  the 
“active”  AF  focus  area  and  other  shooting  details 
for each captured image. 

 Certain lens models may not be compatible or may have restrictions on their functionality.

High-performance Viewfinder boasts 
magnification of 0.94× and 
approximately 95% coverage

The  high-magnification  viewfinder  supports 
comfortable 

viewing 

and 

composition. 

Photographic  data  and  settings  status  are  clearly 
displayed in digital readout of the viewfinder.  The 
Vari-Brite  Focus  Area  display  aids  smooth 
confirmation  of  the  selected  focus  area,  while  a 
Multi-Display  Screen  provides  a  convenient  grid 
display. 

Spacious 2.5-inch LCD with 100% coverage

With  approx.230,000  pixels  of  resolution,  the 
2.5-inch  low-temperature  polysilicon  TFT  LCD 
provides  comfortable  viewing  of  not  only  image 
data  but  also  the  large  characters  and  optimized 
color  scheme  of  the  menu  screens.  Multi-image 
playback of 9 thumbnails is just one example of its 
functional versatility.

“Live View” Function for more 
precise focusing and view angle setting 

What sets the IS Pro apart from all infrared digital SLR 
cameras is FUJIFILM’s industry first Live image preview 
function.    A  live  30  second  color  or  B&W  image  is 
displayed  on  the  LCD  direct  from  the  Super  CCD  SR 
Pro.    This  unique  feature  enables  fine  tuning  the  focus 
and  composing  the  picture  when  dark  opaque  UV  and 
IR lens filers render the optical viewfinder useless.  The 
image  can  be  magnified  in  for  to  confirm  sharp  focus 
and  the  lightness  can  be  adjusted  to  compensate  for 
extremely  low  light  forensic  photography.    Live  Image 
Preview is available on the IS Pro’s LCD, and via a USB 
connected PC or an NTSC/PAL video monitor.
