in to your bag or will hang comfortably round your neck, all ready for
an action-packed day out.
The 10 Megapixel CCD sensor produces

Wide-angle 5x Optical zoom 12x Optical zoom
High-resolution 2.7inch LCD screen
With a large, clear 2.7" screen it is easy to compose & look
back at the photos you've taken. Fujifilm have incorporated some useful
play-back modes into this camera allowing you to preview up to 100
microthumbnails of your photos on-screen at any one time.
Long lasting energy
4 x AA batteries will last for a fantastic 300 shots in the FinePix
S1500 - enough to last you all day long without having to carry around
spare batteries.
Memory card compatiblity
The FinePix S1500 is compatible with SD & SDHC memory cards, available up to a massive 32GB.
Instant zoom
Instant zoom makes it easy to frame and compose shots of moving
subjects at high zoom settings. A selectable frame on the LCD screen
lets you track your subject & when the shutter is released,
Instant zoom boosts the zoom ratio and captures only the selected area as a full sized image.
Instant Zoom OFF Instant Zoom ON
NEW Tracking Auto Focus
Normally only found on digital SLRs, the Tracking Auto Focus
function tracks the subject automatically for as long as the shutter is
half-pressed and the subject is kept inside the frame. This ensures
your subject is kept in Focus even when the zoom range is fully
extended.
Impressive Panoramas
To capture sweeping scenery or large groups of people, the new
Panoramic Shooting Mode makes it very easy to create impressive
panoramic shots. Panorama Shooting captures and combines a maximum of
three consecutive shots at 3 Megapixel resolution, which are saved to
the memory card as one panoramic picture.
Continuous Shooting & High Speed image playback
Continuous Shooting makes it easy to capture sporting events or
other action scenes at 13.5 frames per second in a burst. Once you’ve
taken your shots, High Speed Playback lets you view them as a streaming
sequence (10 frames per second) that resembles a video.
This function also lets you scroll through the content of your memory card for quick and easy image retrieval.
Automatic Scene Detection
Now it's easier than ever to get stunning shots. Scene Recognition
AUTO cleverly detects the scene being photographed and the camera
automatically chooses the best focus and exposure for the scene to
reveal stunning photos. The six scene modes are Landscape, Macro,
Portrait, Night, Backlit Portrait and Night Portrait.
Portrait
Recognises portrait shots by detecting that there are faces in the
frame and optimising focus, brightness and white balance accordingly.
Landscape
Automatically recognises scenic shots such as mountains and buildings.
Ensures that vivid colours are captured & adds depth to your
pictures.
Night
For
low-light and night time scenarios, shutter speed and sensitivity are
automatically adjusted, producing blur-free pictures with minimal noise.
Conventional digital camera FinePix S1500
Macro
Macro mode sets the focusing position of the details of small flowers or tiny subjects accurately.
Conventional digital camera FinePix S1500
Backlit Portrait
Optimises
the brightness of the faces in the picture (that would usually end up
in shadow) and compensates for the underexposure caused by the light
behind.
Conventional digital camera FinePix S1500
Night Portrait
When
photographing people at night or in low light, SR Auto optimises flash
range, shutter speed, and the exposure of the portrait, whilst
capturing a smooth and noiseless background.

Anti-blur technology
The FinePix S1500 features Fujifilm's Dual Image Stabilisation,
which combines a mechanically stabilised Super CCD sensor with high ISO
sensitivities, (up to ISO6400), for total anti-blur protection.
The
combination of these technologies reduces the blurring effects of both
hand-shake and subject movement (which often occur when shooting at
full zoom ranges) even further to provide the highest quality digital
pictures, with sharp, clean results no matter what the shooting
conditions.
Conventional digital camera FinePix S1500
Great Low-light Photos
Shooting in low-light conditions is always challenging, and when
using a flash can often result in over-highlighted, washed-out
subjects. This is where a camera’s sensitivity to light becomes key.
The
FinePix S1500 reaches a maximum ISO of 6400 at 3MP resolution which
means it’s capable of detecting and recording even more detail in low
light. It enables you to take natural, lifelike photos in limited light
conditions, without the need for flash. (*at 3MP resolution)
Face Detection
Instantly identifies faces and automatically optimises focus and exposure to ensure attractive portraits every time.

Ban Red-eye for good!
Automatic red-eye removal boosts your reputation for great indoor
portraits and party pictures by detecting and correction the unsightly
red-eye reflections that can often spoil flash photos.
