Fujifilm releases FinePix F480 firmware update version 1.03. This firmware update fixes a problem whereby after taking pictures of a scene under bright condition, such as the picture of sun, the next picture may occasionally be shot with an underexposure condition.
In case you missed or did not apply the previous F480 firmware update, version 1.02, then you will get an additional fix to improve operability for shooting with flash and updates for some other operability issues with the camera…

Alongside its announcement of the FinePix Z200fd as covered in a separate news item, the Japanese imaging company has also unveiled one new model for its FinePix A-series.The Fujifilm FinePix A850 has only been announced in Asian and European markets at this time, with no mention of plans for the North American market. The specifications point towards an affordable entry-level pricepoint, although no indication of planned pricing has yet been made by the company. Images are captured via a 1/2.5" CCD image sensor with 8.1 effective megapixel resolution, placed behind a Fujinon-branded 3x optical zoom lens that offers a rather tight 36mm-equivalent wide angle through to a 108mm telephoto. There’s 24MB of internal memory as well as an SD / MMC card slot to cater for storage, and power comes from two AA batteries with alkalines in the product bundle. Other features include a 2.5" LCD with ~154,000 dot resolution, ISO sensitivities from 100 to 800, NTSC / PAL video and USB computer connectivity, and thirteen scene modes to keep things approachable while still giving a degree of control over the look of images.
Fujifilm’s FinePix A850 is set to ship in the UK this July.
Fujifilm today announced the launch of the 10 Megapixel FinePix Z200fd, the latest addition to its popular range of ultra-slim, metal-bodied, high performance compact digital cameras.
Despite being only 19.8mm thick the FinePix Z200fd is packed with state-of-the-art technology including a 5x Fujinon optical zoom lens, Fujifilm’s acclaimed Face Detection technology, intelligent red-eye removal and Dual Image Stabilisation, as well as two brand new self-timer modes: Couple Timer and Group Timer.
It’s all about the timing
The FinePix Z200fd features two brand new self-timer modes: Couple Timer and Group Timer. Working in combination with Face Detection technology, the self-timer automatically sets off after the camera has detected faces in a frame. The camera won’t take the photo if one of the faces is out the frame, so there’s no need to worry about someone being missed out of the shot!
Cheek-to-cheek
The Couple Timer mode cleverly detects two faces in a frame and will automatically release the shutter button as the two faces come closer together. The Couple Timer mode has three settings so users can set the timer to detect faces at various distances, whether they are standing side by side, or cheek-to-cheek.

The slim, stylish FinePix J10 slips effortlessly into your purse or pocket and goes everywhere with ease. Housed in a compact chassis just 19mm thick, the FinePix J10 incorporates an 8.2-MegaPixel CCD sensor, a 2.5" LCD and a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens that captures large groups or distant subjects with ease thanks to a 38mm-113mm equivalent.The camera uses Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization Technology to reduce blurry images that can be caused by camera shake or subject movement especially in low light settings.
It also lets you shoot without the flash, for attractive, natural-looking pictures that preserve the atmosphere and colors of the scene. Picture Stabilization Anti-blur mode automatically corrects for camera shake and subject blur, helping you to capture fleeting moments in crisp stop-action with background detail intact. 2.5" LCD Monitor provides easy-to-read icon-based interface and explanations for each shooting mode, scene position, and control setting to take the guesswork out of selecting camera settings.
Available in either black or silver, the Fuji Finepix J10 makes for a compact and convenient everyday use camera. It’s a decent mid-range digital camera, with a powerful 8.2 megapixel sensor that would be more than enough for most users.
With the Finepix s8000fd, Fujifilm has officially tossed their hat into the superzoom ring, squaring off against the Olympus SP-560UZ and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18. Adopting the same “baby SLR” body style, the s8000fd is big, heavy and serious-looking. The 2.5-inch display is par for the course, but its 230,000 pixel count was impressive. We still prefer the electronic viewfinder found directly above it, a 0.24-inch display that also has 230,000 pixels. Fujifilm decided to go with four AA batteries to power the camera; whether this is a positive or a negative depends on the consumer. An infrequent photographer who uses the camera for long trips will appreciate the flexibility of disposable batteries, but a frequent photographer who takes many short trips with the camera will definitely want to spring for rechargeables.
