Fujifilm Finepix HS20 Digital Camera

The Finepix HS20, the successor to the HS10, sets the bar high in terms of its features, having a truly massive 30x optical zoom (a full 10x longer than entry level zoom models), 16 megapixel resolution and continuous shooting at 8 frames per second, at the camera’s full resolution. Add to this the ability to record high quality Full HD movies and the Finepix HS20 shows itself as a credible alternative to digital SLR models.

 

16 megapixel CMOS with EXR

The CMOS image sensor on the HS20 is the first to feature EXR technology. With its so-called Backside Illumination, no light is blocked by sensor wiring arrays meaning a brighter, less noisy image.

 

With EXR technology comes 3 CMOS modes:

 

HR Mode for all round high quality in good light

DR (Dynamic Range) function (uses dual capture, technology to increase DR by up to 1600% in high contrast scenes- providing high contrast, punchy images

Signal to Noise Mode which uses “pixel fusion” to give better sensitivity with less noise in lower light conditions.

 

 

The EXR Engine image processor, as well as improving operating speed, recognises and reduces purple fringing, improving colour accuracy even at the edges of the frame.

 

30x optical zoom

Huge zoom range giving the equivalent of 24-720mm focal length, covering just about any focal length most photographers would ever need.

 

High Speed Shooting

Shoots at 8 frames per second if using the camera’s full resolution or 11fps at 8 megapixel resolution. Focusing is also lightning fast at 0.16secs using contrast autofocus.

 

Best Frame Capture Mode

Half press the shutter and the camera will store 7 images just before and 7 images just after the button is fully pressed to make sure you get the frame you want at the crucial moment.

 

Scene Recognition

Automatically selects the most appropriate scene type from an expanded list of 9. Alternatively, you can choose manually from 27 scene modes.

 

Full HD Movies

Record broadcast quality movies in Full HD (H.264, 1080p) format and also why not try slow motion recording at 320frames per second (at 320x112 resolution).

 

Three Image Stabiliser Methods

The Finepix HS20 uses the following three methods to stabilise shaky images:

 

Sensor Shift (mechanical compensation)

Pixel Fusion to increase sensitivity and allow faster shutter speeds

Anti-Blur technology (combines four images for a sharp composite)

 

 

Rich User Interface

The Finepix HS20 features clearly annotated menus and easy image sorting allowing you to search through thousands of images in just seconds. A handy “photobook” function lets you tag virtual pages and leaf through your pictures.
