Variety of Shooting modes
Simply turning the exposure
mode dial located on top of
the camera enables you to
easily set ten different expo-
sure modes to fit your subject and intend-
ed outcome.
[ A u t o m o d e ]
The camera performs all exposure
control. This is a convenient setting
when you have to be ready to shoot at any
time.
[ P o r t r a i t m o d e ]
Allows for special effects in your
shots with your subject sharply
focused against a soft background.
[ L a n d s c a p e m o d e ]
Captures both near and distant por-
tions of the image sharply and clearly.
[ C l o s e - u p m o d e ]
Focuses on the subject while leaving
the background slightly out-of-focus.
[ S p o r t m o d e ]
Captures the motion of action shots
by using a fast shutter speed.
[ N i g h t S c e n e m o d e ]
Provides beautiful shots of twilight
scenes and city lights by using expo-
sure control optimized for dark subjects.
3D-Matrix Metering
FinePix S1
Pro features
3D-Matrix
Metering to
achieve
superior
metering
results even in complex lighting by using a 6-
segment sensor. 3D 6-Segment Multi-
Pattern Metering enables the brightness
seen by the naked eye to be faithfully reflect-
ed in your shots by separating the image into
six segments, measuring the light in each
one, and then adding distance information to
perform precision exposure control. FinePix
S1 Pro also features Center-weighted
Metering to obtain correct exposure with
excellent overall balance.
* 3D 6-Segment Multi-Pattern Metering is only available when
using a D-type AF Nikkor lens. 6-Segment Multi-Pattern
Metering is used with other types of lenses.
Flexible exposure modes
[ P r o g r a m m e d A u t o ]
The camera controls exposure, but
you make your own adjustments
such as exposure compensation.
[ S h u t t e r - P r i o r i t y A u t o ]
The camera controls the aperture as
long as a shutter speed has been set.
Best used when shooting moving subjects.
[ A p e r t u r e - P r i o r i t y A u t o ]
The camera controls shutter speed
as long as an aperture value has
been set. Best used for shooting that
takes into account depth of field.
[ M a n u a l ]
Allows you to freely set the shutter
speed and aperture value.
Advanced Autofocus System
The FinePix S1 Pro’s Auto-Servo AF is so
advanced that it can detect whether a
subject is stationary or moving, and also
detects direction. According to the detect-
ed information, it automatically chooses to
lock focus or activate focus tracking.
Either way, you’re assured autofocusing
that works fast, accurately, and easily.
TTL Flash Control
FinePix S1 Pro
provides a
manually oper-
ated built-in
pop-up flash
(Guide No. 15).
The camera
also includes an accessory shoe for when
additional lighting is required. A TTL exter-
nal flash can also be used.
Multiple and Long Exposure
A simple press of the function button
allows you to experiment with multiple
exposure shots. And with its slowest shut-
ter speed of 30 seconds, you can take
long exposures of celestial objects and
other such subjects.
Batteries
FinePix S1 Pro
can take
approximately
650 shots
when powered
by AA alkaline
batteries or the
more economi-
cal AA rechargeable Ni-MH/NiCd batteries.
F-Mount Enables Use of a
Wide Range of Nikkor Lenses
Nikkor lenses have been continually evolving
and receiving overwhelming support from
professional photographers. FinePix S1 Pro
lets you use almost any lens* from the
extensive Nikkor lineup so that your images
will come out exactly how you intended.
* Please note that there are some incompatible lenses.
