The Fuji FinePix 6800 Digital Camera

Fuji FinePix 6800 Digital Camera3x Optical Zoom and Maximum 4.4x Digital Zoom
The Fuji FinePix 6800 Zoom features the 3x Super EBC (Electronic Beam Coating) Fujinon (equivalent to 36-108mm on a 35mm camera) with a large aperture of f/2.8. The lens maximizes the power of the Super CCD and delivers excellent images without aberrations, even with the optical zoom fully extended, giving 3x enlargement. The smooth digital zoom adds an additional enlarging effect up to 4.4x (in 640 x 480 pixels mode) in the FinePix 6800 Zoom.

Super CCDs Realize New Dimensions in Image Quality
The Super CCDs mounted in the Fuji FinePix 6800 Zoom have been further improved in resolution and color reproduction. Super CCDs achieve higher sensitivity, a wider dynamic range, higher S/N ratios, and faithful color reproduction, improving total image quality compared to conventional CCDs. As a result, Super CCDs let you enjoy natural, clear and sharp images.

Along with the Super CCD, the ASIC chip for high-speed processing of all camera functions offer both fast start-up and shooting interval times. The newly developed Super CCD with 3.3 million pixels mounted in a FinePix 6800 Zoom creates ultra high-resolution image files with 6.0 million pixels (2,832 x 2,128), the first model to provide 6 megapixel high-resolution image files for the non-professional users.

One Hand Operation
Porsche Design has refined the vertically shaped design of the FinePix 6800 Zoom camera, ensuring improved grip for safer and more comfortable handling. Switches and other operational buttons are also clearly laid out on the back of the camera body, enabling all operations to be carried out using one hand in a truly user-friendly design. Other design improvements are apparent, too. For example, the small dot matrix LCD inside the four-direction button is brighter and thus easier to use than those in earlier models.

Enhanced Versatility
By changing the settings using the mode dial in combination with the four-direction button, you can access all the functions that the cameras offer, ranging from simple automatic point-and-shooting, creative manual shooting and continuous shooting to motion picture recording (320 x 240 pixel AVI video with sound), audio recording, playback and other standard features.

In manual mode, you can demonstrate your creativity to the fullest extent, supported by adjusted ISO, manual focus, EV exposure compensation, white balance override, metering mode, sharpness setting, flash intensity, black and white shooting and others.

Committed to the evolution of digital cameras, Fujifilm has added new features to the new camera, such as voice captioning that can be attached to captured images.

PictureCradle
The Fuji FinePix 6800 digital camera comes with the innovative addition of the PictureCradle that enables the camera to communicate with a PC and recharges the camera battery. It's a snap to use. After shooting pictures, just set the camera in the cradle to supply power and begin automatic recharging. To transfer images to the PC, simply push the button on the cradle. This will remotely start up the FinePixViewer software installed in your PC, allowing you to check and transfer the images on the PC display.

FinePixViewer
In addition to image checking and transfer, the FinePixViewer lets you connect to the Internet to access Fujifilm's Internet Services. The software also offers PictureHello, a live video image transfer between FinePix owners over the Internet, when their cameras are connected with a PC.
