Fujifilm ‘Generation Z’ Style-Cam Gets an Upgrade New 10 MP FinePix Z20fd boasts new colours, MPEG-4 video technology and new Dual Blog Mode
Continuing the tradition started by its stylish predecessor, the
FinePix Z10fd, Fujifilm UK today unveiled the FinePix Z20fd, a stylish
new ultra-compact digital camera packed with useful features that let
you shoot it, beam it, blog it and now roll it with a new MPEG-4 movie
recording mode for the movie-crazed Generation Z.
The 10 Megapixel FinePix Z20fdcomes in five striking colours – Black,
Green, Pink, Blue and Red – features an ultra-slim design, a Fujinon 3x
optical zoom lens, 2.5" LCD screen, and is packed with innovative new
features- creating and sharing videos and images has never been so
easy. A generous 45MB of internal memory gives you some extra room when
your memory card is full.
Face Detection Technology with automatic red-eye removal
The Z20fd makes perfect portraits simple with Fujifilm's Face Detection
Technology, designed to optimise focus, white balance and exposure for
up to 10 faces in a single frame. A green square surrounds the face of
the primary subject on the camera's LCD screen, whilst white squares
identify up to nine other subjects. Movement tracking keeps the camera
'locked on' to its subjects until they move out of the picture. The
technology works irrespective of the subject's position in the frame,
and is not confused by spectacles.
After the shot is taken, each detected face is instantly checked for
red-eye; if found, it is corrected automatically, saving the time
consuming process of fixing it later. Fujifilm’s IrSimpleTM technology
allows for fast, easy wireless image transfer to any IrSimpleTM
equipped device.
Sharing made simple
There’s no fun in taking pictures if you can’t share them, and the
FinePix Z20fd makes it easier than ever with fast, easy wireless
transfer of images between cameras using IrSimple™. For users wanting
to share their creative output with a wider audience, the FinePix
Z20fd’s new Dual Blog mode automatically resizes any still image or
movie you've captured, letting you post pictures and videos to blogs,
video-sharing websites like YouTube, or e-mail to friends with ease.
The FinePix Z20fd’s impressive new full motion MPEG-4 video mode makes
capturing and sharing internet-friendly video clips easier than ever.
Using the Successive Movie mode, in-camera editing allows for the
creation of a 60 second movie clip, even when shooting in two or more
scenes is desired. Start and restart multiple times to build a
60-second compilation, and edit the start and end points.
Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilisation Technology uses higher sensitivities
and faster shutter speeds to reduce image blur caused by camera shake
or low-light conditions, ensuring users get the picture they want.

Stylish ultra compact design
Face Detection Technology with intelligent automatic red-eye removal
Dual shutter releases: One button for still capture, one for movie record, for ease of use

both. This convenient function lets the user perform an on-the-spot
picture comparison and decide whether the FinePix Z20fd produced the
best shot with or without flash

Real Photo Technology
Even the novice photographer will be ensured of bright, sharp colourful
pictures from the FinePix Z20fd thanks to Fujifilm’s unique Real Photo
Technology (RPT). The guiding principles behind RPT are simple; to set
the highest possible standards for overall image quality, to expand
digital photography opportunities and to give users fewer wasted shots.
With the human eye as the ideal, Real Photo Technology cameras are
designed from the ground up to capture ‘real’ photographs with stunning
quality - giving users the power to capture the moment exactly as the
eye sees it, no matter how challenging the shooting conditions.
Adrian Clarke, Fujifilm's Director of Digital Products, said: "The
FinePix Z10fd’s unique combination of style, colour and advanced
features proved hugely popular, and the new FinePix Z20fd builds on
this successful formula, bringing advanced movie capture and sharing
capabilities with huge appeal for the ‘Generation Z’ buyer.”
