Design

Ready when you are...

Available in a choice of either Pink or Blue, the slim, stylish FinePix J12 slips effortlessly into your purse or pocket and goes everywhere with ease.

On screen shooting guide

No fuss controls

The layout of buttons has been designed so that the camera body remains uncluttered and can be operated easily with one hand. Featuring explanations for each shooting mode, scene position, and control setting, the interface is designed to take the guesswork out of selecting camera settings.

All-in-all the FinePix J12 is so easy to operate that even the youngest members of the family will be able to use it with minimal instruction.

Wide angle

3x Optical zoom + 5.1x Digital zoom

3x Optical zoom

The camera's 3x optical zoom has been especially developed by Fujinon, the division of Fujifilm responsible for lens manufacture, which is also a leading provider of broadcast-grade television lenses.

The FinePix J12 lets you enjoy a range of picture-taking options, from atmospheric wide-angle scenes to dramatic close-ups.

High resolution 2.5-inch LCD screen

The FinePix J12 features a large high-resolution 2.5-inch, 235,000 pixel LCD screen, which has a reinforced glass coating for scratch-free durability. In addition, the LCD screen is coated with anti-glare materials to increase visibility when framing or reviewing images in bright sunlight, which means that sharing your images with others is easier than ever before.

Convenient xD and SD compatibility

If you already own a camera, but are thinking of upgrading to this model, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to consider any additional expense of replacing a perfectly good memory card.

The FinePix J12 features an xD/SD compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD Picture Card, SD or SDHC media to store and transfer your photos.

This will give you the flexibility to buy the card you want, use cards from previous cameras, or choose the media that fits with your other desktop devices like laptops, PDAs or card readers.

Internal memory

The FinePix J12 makes it possible for you to get that picture even if your memory card is full. The 12MB internal memory built into this compact ensures that you will never have to miss that special shot.

Think of it as your internal insurance policy for photo opportunities. With that said, the main storage for images on the FinePix J12 should be an additional xD card, which will allow you to accommodate almost as many images as you like.

Conventional camera

No blur - no 'noise'

A low light marvel

Photos taken in low light are the ones that are most likely to produce disappointing results. Limited flash range and direct light can mean the foreground is harshly lit and the background lost all together. If the flash isn't used at all, the image can suffer from digital interference called 'noise' as the sensor struggles to pick up all of the detail in the scene.

Moving images can be blurred as the camera keeps the shutter open for longer to allow as much light in as possible.

Fujifilm has put 70 years of experience in imaging into fine-tuning the light sensitivity and flash systems of its cameras and you perhaps wouldn’t normally expect a camera placed at such an affordable price point, to house such technology – but we can assure you - it does.

Capture the action

Anti blur

The camera's Anti-blur system increases its ISO setting and associated shutter speed, so that the shutter can open and close much more quickly, thereby freezing moving action without blur - perfect for school sports fields.

When a still image isn't sufficient, the FinePix J12 movie mode, at 30 frames per second, captures movie clips with sound that are limited in length only by the size of memory card used.

Baby mode

'Flower' mode

Ease of use

The camera is preset with an extensive selection of scene modes which make it ready to shoot anything from nightscapes, to portraits or ski slopes in an instant. These include 'beach', 'party' and 'fireworks' for optimum photography, no matter what the event. There's even a 'Baby' mode to ensure those all important pictures of baby's first years look spot-on, with skin tones faithfully reproduced.

Simply select a Scene Position that suits your situation and the FinePix J12 automatically selects the appropriate shutter speed, exposure and white balance to ensure that you get the most of your photography; more stunning pictures, less hassle.

Create your own slideshow

Create your own 'Slideshow'

The FinePix J12 features a multitude of options for sharing images once they've been taken, enabling you to share your precious moments again and again with Fujifilms new in-camera ‘Slideshow’ function, which displays images one-by-one.
