FinePix S100FS : Features - The Extended Dynamic Range

The great attractiveness of the FinePix S100FS is the extended Dynamic Range. Dynamic Range for digital cameras means the expression domain between bright areas and dark areas. In nature photography, there are many subjects with great difference between brightness and darkness, such as a bright sky against the dark sea. Such variation is difficult to express without an extended Dynamic Range. A narrow range causes over exposure or under exposure. The FinePix S100FS is the first digital camera with a closed-unit design to have an extended Dynamic Range (100%, 200%, 400%) similar to that of negative film, thanks to the newly developed 2/3-inch 11.1 megapixel Super CCD VIII "HR" and the new image processor "RP (Real Photo ) ProcessorIII". This camera prevents over exposure and under exposure, regardless of whether the subject is a landscape or a portrait. Take the beautiful photos you desire, from shots with clear modulation to those deep, fine photos. This is a function that nature photographers, who really need tonal expression more than anybody, simply cannot afford to miss.
