development and refinement of the CCD,
with the incorporation of innovative Noise
Reduction Technology and Pixel Data
Coupling Technology utilized with an
advanced LSI algorithm.
The FinePix S602 Zoom excels at fast-
action and non-flash shooting under low-light
conditions. The higher ISO settings are also
effective at preventing camera shake, a
major source of image degradation.
Smooth ‘Motion Photo’ VGA Movie
Recording
Yet another benefit made possible by the
new Super CCD: VGA-sized (640
×
480 pix-
els) movie recording at 30 frames/second,
including sound. This is achieved through a
world-leading breakthrough in horizontal and
vertical direction Pixel-Mixing Technology,
realized by the Super CCD’s unique interwo-
ven pixel arrangement.
Four times larger than the previously avail-
able QVGA size (320
×
240 pixels), VGA video
clips fill the screen of a TV monitor during
playback. You can also enjoy QVGA-sized movie
recording at the same frame rate. Captured
video clip images are smooth and highly
detailed, and recorded in the Motion JPEG
(AVI) format, so that you can also enjoy view-
ing each frame as a high quality still image.
The World of High-Speed Shutter
Imaging
The electronic shutter in the FinePix S602
Zoom offers shutter speeds from 15 sec-
onds to an amazing 1
/
10,000-second*
when shooting manually. The combination of
extremely fast shutter speed and high sensi-
tivity setting opens a new world of creative
and technical possibilities.
* World’s fastest shutter speed in its class, as of April 2002
Super Intelligent Fast-Action Dual-
Method Auto Focusing (AF)
The Super Intelligent Fast-Action Dual-
Method Auto Focusing (AF) system devel-
oped for the FinePix S602 Zoom measures
AF data in two steps: first, the AF sensor
helps the camera to instantly measure the
distance from the subject, then CCD con-
trast focus precisely adjusts the focus. The
result: quicker and more accurate focusing
in any situation, even in low light. The cam-
era also lets you focus on specific areas in
the viewfinder using the AF Area Focus
mechanism without having to lock and
recompose the shot.
Three High-Speed Continuous
Shooting Modes
The FinePix S602 Zoom provides three high-
speed continuous shooting modes for captur-
ing quickly moving subjects. Depending on the
situation, you can choose “TOP 5-frame”
Continuous Shooting (5 frames/second for
one second when shutter button is pressed),
“Final 5-frame” Continuous Shooting (5
frames/second for one second just before
shutter button is released**) or 1280
×
960-
pixel Long-period Continuous Shooting (1.8
frames/second for up to 40 frames) mode.
** Although you can shoot up to 25 frames (5 frames/sec-
ond for 5 seconds) in this continuous mode, only the
five final frames just before the shutter button is
released are actually captured.
The 3rd-Generation Super CCD
At the heart
of the FinePix
S602 Zoom
lies the

1.7-inch
3rd-Genera-
tion Super
CCD sensor.
Boasting 3.1
million effective pixels, this system delivers
ultra-high-quality images of 2832
×
2128
(6.03 million) recording pixels, for class-
leading sensitivity, rich tonality, high S/N
ratio and natural color reproduction. In addi-
tion to superior image quality, the 3rd-
Generation Super CCD sensor offers
ultra-high sensitivity, as well as superb VGA
movie recording capabilities. Apart from the
new CCD sensor itself, the 3rd-Generation
system incorporates a newly developed LSI
image-processing algorithm for significant
improvement in overall image quality.

Pixel Mixing Technology
When recording movies, the 3rd-Generation Super CCD
combines data from each two vertical pixels into single
value, and then does the same with data from each two
horizontal pixels. This near-instantaneous processing
results in higher frame rates and brighter, clearer VGA-
sized movies. The FinePix S602 Zoom actually rivals digital
video camcorders in its ability to capture video clips with
high quality image and outstandingly smooth motion.
