See the vivid improvement made by 1600% dynamic range in the
detail revealed in both the highlights and shadows. Using Dual
Capture technology, the DR capture mode eliminates washout in
bright areas and brings out
subtleties in dark areas when
shooting high-contrast scenes.
C a p t u r e e v e r y d e t a i l in full 16-megapixel resolution. Even
poster-size prints come out smooth and clearly defined. Just as
your eye can see every detail in bright conditions, HR capture mode
fully uses the pixel and color
arrays of the new EXR CMOS

% Dynamic Range
With the new BSI EXR CMOS sensor and
Pixel Fusion technology, low-light photographs
shot in SN capture mode will come out bright
and beautiful with less noise than ever before.
Even full 1080p HD movies captured with
e n h a n c e d E X R s e n s i t i v i t y a n d n o i s e
reduction display noticeably less noise.
In as little as 0.16 seconds, ultra-fast Auto
Focus brings your subject into razor sharp
focus. Even a spur of the moment shot of a
moving subject at the maximum 15x zoom is
never blurry or out of focus.
No matter where you are, the compact F500EXR will be at the ready with its 15x zoom and
versatile 24mm super-wide angle lens. Smoothly telescoping out of the slim stylish body and
shifting 12 lens elements into position, the double sliding structured lens technology lets you
zoom in to capture distant subjects in stunning detail.
The F500EXR with hi-speed AF keeps the subject in
perfect focus even at the maximum zoom.

Dual Image Stabilization
This not only improves correction for “quick and short” vibrations caused by shaky hands, but also “big
and slow” movement like body sway. Dual Image Stabilization uses CMOS Shift to compensate for camera
shake while high sensitivity lets the camera shoot at a faster shutter speed to freeze subject movement.
Conventional sensitivity produces dark and grainy results.
Conventional dynamic range
produces "washout" and

16-Megapixel BSI EXR CMOS Sensor
– Ultimate Image Quality and Performance
Harnessing the high-speed performance of the BSI EXR CMOS sensor, the Dual
CPU, EXR Core and Reconfigurable Processor power a host of functions
including high-sensitivity HD movies and continuous shooting as well as
expanded scene recognition and Pro Modes while the new Vector Graphics
Accelerator drives the enhanced image quality of the rich GUI.
Acclaimed by imaging professionals, Fujinon molds its high-precision aspheric lenses from extra-low dispersion
glass to deliver superior resolution and low color aberration, and applies an originally developed Super
Electronic Beam Coating to minimize ghosting, flare and purple fringing. Using these high-quality lens elements
and "Double Sliding Structured Lens" engineering, the class-leading 15x zoom lens and 24mm wide-angle fold
away neatly into the super-slim body of the F500EXR.
The new BSI (Back Side Illuminated) EXR CMOS sensor is a ground-breaking breakthrough in image quality.
16 million pixels is impressive and delivers a leap in resolution, but the real difference is in the technology.
HR (High Resolution)
In bright even lighting, HR uses Fine
Capture technology employing all 16
million pixels to capture superb detail
and astonishing image quality.
DR (Wide Dynamic Range)
In high contrast scenes, DR mode
restores blown out highlights and the
detail to shadows by using its Dual
Capture technology.
SN (High Sensitivity and Low Noise)
In low-light and evening photos, SN
mode doubles sensitivity using Pixel
Fusion technology while keeping noise
extremely low and preventing "false
color" generation.

High Speed Transfer Circuit
The unique EXR pixel and color arrays are the key to image quality. Rotated by 45 degrees, the EXR pixel array increases both horizontal and vertical
resolution. By using the diagonally-aligned twin pixels of the same color, the sensor can switch between HR (High Resolution), SN (High Sensitivity and Low
Noise) and DR (Wide Dynamic Range) modes depending on the scene, ensuring that every moment is captured with the highest image quality.

The BSI (Back Side Illuminated) sensor structure moves the wiring to the back side of the sensor, vastly improving sensitivity and reducing
noise by adopting a hi-speed transfer circuit enabling fast data signal readout, which in-turn makes the new hi-speed movie possible
along with the hi-speed Continuous shooting functions.
