The Ideal:
The Evolution of a New Standard in Digital Quality
No other camera has anything like it: the
FinePix S3 Pro is equipped with the newly devel-
oped 23.0
×
15.5mm-format Super CCD SR
II
.
With a remarkable 12.34 million effective pixels
(S-pixel: 6.17 million, R-pixel: 6.17 million), the
FinePix S3 Pro delivers an obvious difference in
image quality. With an ultra-high resolution maxi-
mum image size of 12.1 million recording pixels,
detail is astonishing. In addition to this striking
image resolution, the image quality of Super
CCD SR
II
evolves to the next level. It yields an
improved signal-to-noise ratio and consistently
natural color reproduction. It’s the perfect digital
solution for studio and wedding photographers
– or for anyone who demands the highest possi-
ble image quality and detail from their DSLR.
The unique Super CCD SR
II
sensor mimics
the structure of photographic film by using a
combination of low-sensitivity R-pixels and
high-sensitivity S-pixels, employing extremely
precise design and construction for each pixel.
This dramatically broadens dynamic range,
assuring exceptionally faithful rendition from
highest light to deepest shadows. In short:
digital photography with the rich tonality of film.
New image processor
boosts image quality
Wider dynamic range
for richer tonality
Extended ISO sensitivity range
for shooting versatility
With a selection of ISO-equivalent sensitivities
of 100/160/200/400/800/1600, the FinePix S3 Pro
is ready for virtually any light conditions. And
thanks to its new-generation sensor and proc-
essing technology, noise is not a significant
concern at any ISO setting. The FinePix S3 Pro
handles a wide range of ISO sensitivity with ease,
making it a natural for any type of photography,
from nature-in-the-wild to studio portraits.
Contributing both to image quality and exceptional
shooting speed is the FinePix S3 Pro’s state-of-art
image processor. It blazes through even the larg-
est image files, making operation quicker and
more responsive than ever before. At the same
time, the new image processor boosts total image
quality by increasing resolution, reducing noise,
and improving color reproduction.
Equipped with the Super CCD SR ,
the FinePix S3 Pro delivers
super image quality of an amazing
12.34 million effective pixels
(S-pixel: 6.17 million, R-pixel: 6.17 million)
