Truly intelligent metering
The FinePix S2 Pro gives you a
choice of three TTL exposure
metering modes, together
designed to handle virtually any
lighting situation.
• Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering
provides
intelligent metering even in
the trickiest lighting. In addi-
tion to reading scene bright-
ness, the system analyses the
overall “atmosphere” of the
frame by comparing the
exposure information to its scene-condition database,
including brightness, contrast, subject-to-camera dis-
tance and the selected focus area. The 10-segment
3D Matrix Metering is activated when using D or G
type Nikkor lenses. The result: automatic exposure
control that is astonishingly accurate.
• Center-weighted Metering
concentrates the sens-
ing area on the center of the viewfinder. This traditional
metering mode is useful for shooting portraits and
other center-dominant subjects.
• Spot Metering
gives you true pinpoint precision,
ideal whenever you need exact exposure for a particu-
lar part of the scene.
Versatile exposure control
With four modes for controlling aperture and shutter
speed, the FinePix S2 Pro offers complete exposure
versatility, no matter what your style of shooting.
• Multi Programmed AE mode (P):
Works with
any of the FinePix S2 Pro’s metering modes,
including 3D Matrix Metering, to provide the quickest
and simplest exposure control option. Flexible Program
lets you shift aperture and shutter speed in tandem,
always maintaining the correct exposure value.
• Shutter-Priority AE mode (S):
Allows you to
select any shutter speed between 1/4000 and
30 seconds. The FinePix S2 Pro then automatically
sets the correct aperture to match. This mode makes
it easy to stop action in its tracks or blur movement for
creative effect.
• Aperture-Priority AE mode (A):
Ideal for times
when your first concern is controlling depth of
field. Choose any aperture you want, and the camera
automatically selects the correct shutter speed.
• Manual exposure mode (M):
Lets you freely
set both the shutter speed and aperture.
Wide shutter speed and ISO
equivalency
With a range of shutter speeds from 1/4000 to 30
seconds and user-selectable ISO equivalents of
100/160/200/400/800/1600, the FinePix S2 Pro is
ready for virtually any light conditions, whether in the
studio or on location.
Additional exposure features
• Exposure Compensation:
Adjustable from –2 to
+2 EV in 1/3-step increments
• Auto Exposure Bracketing:
Automatically cap-
tures three consecutive shots in 1/3, 2/3 or 1 EV
increments over and under the set exposure
• Auto Exposure Lock:
Holds the metered exposure
value as long as required
• Multiple Exposure:
Allows you to superimpose as
many images as you like on the same frame
High-resolution LCD monitor
The 1.8-inch low tem-
perature polysilicon TFT-
LCD monitor on the
back panel of the
FinePix S2 Pro delivers
crisp, clear images of
130,000 pixels.
Coverage is 100% of
the frame, as is the viewfinder. The LCD monitor can be
used to display and check images as soon as you shoot
them, and a playback zoom function allows enlargement
of any image for detailed inspection.
The camera also has a convenient backlit dot
matrix LCD display, enabling photographers to check
or change a variety of camera settings quickly.
Accurate histogram display
The LCD monitor
can be used to
display a his-
togram of any
image you take,
graphically show-
ing brightness or
RGB color distrib-
ution among pix-
els. This feature is particularly convenient for
on-the-spot confirmation of exposure, from highlights
to shadows, as well as color range, both of which can
be difficult to evaluate using an LCD monitor alone.
