Fast moving subject? No problem. Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization technology utilizes the heightened sensitivity of the FinePix S9600 at ISO1600 and high-speed shutter settings to prevent camera shake or freeze subject movement, keeping blur to a minimum. This easy to access feature (selectable on the mode dial) lets the FinePix S9600 choose the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed automatically, for the highest quality digital pictures.
Real Photo Technology captures treasured moments just as your eye sees them. Combining the new RP Processor, 5th Generation Super CCD-HR Sensor and Fujinon Lens Optics, the S9600 delivers ultra-high sensitivity with low noise, faster operational speeds and reduced power consumption. This allows you to capture priceless memories of photographs with every nuance of light and color, even in low light situations without a flash.
The S9600 features a 10.7x Wide Angle Optical Zoom with a focal range equivalentof 28mm - 300mm compared to 35mm film. With Super Macro mode, the S9600 can focus clearly as close up as 0.4". With the addition of a beam assist, the S9600will be able to automatically focus even in low light conditions.
i-Flash fine-tunes flash output for shooting with high sensitivity settings. It recognizes scene conditions and determines the optimum flash output to ensure superb results. Subjects in the foreground appear natural, and background detailis bright and clear. The difference is especially noticeable in the natural facial tones of people in your pictures, in close-ups and group photos alike.
The S9600 has all its angles covered with a tilting 2" LCD making it easy to frame your shot from a variety of shooting positions. And thanks to the LCD gainup control, you'll be able to view the LCD in bright and low light conditions. The viewfinder is electronic with 235,000 pixel resolution and provides approximately 100% coverage.
Equipped with dual media slots for handling of xD-Picture Cards and Compact Flash/Microdrives, the S9600 lets you concentrate on shooting without worrying about storage space. You can even insert different types of media in each slot and then select which one you want to use to store each image as you shoot.
