Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Feb. 17, 2009 – Fujifilm today announces the new ultra-stylish FinePix Z33WP Water, Sand and Snow proof digital camera for the young-at-heart, active consumer. Designed for those who love the great outdoors, the 10 Megapixel FinePix Z33WP is an affordable camera that can withstand the elements.

Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP

Combined in a 20mm thin, colourful body, the FinePix Z33WP comes with a 3x Fujinon Optical Zoom Lens for getting closer shots, a 2.7 inch High Resolution LCD Screen for easy viewing of pictures, Picture Stabilization for blur-free photos, High Sensitivity up to ISO 1600 for low light shooting, Face Detection technology, Intelligent Scene Recognition and in-camera editing functions.

Water, Sand and Snow Proof
Weather you’re hanging out at the pool, playing at the beach or heading down the slopes, the FinePix Z33WP will be ready. Take cool underwater pictures or videos of your friends or kids as the FinePix Z33WP is guaranteed to be waterproof to a depth of 3M. You never have to worry about dropping it in the sand, mud or dirt because you can simply rinse it off.

High Quality Features
To get the best possible action shots, the FinePix Z33WP features Picture Stabilization (Anti-blur) and Face Detection technology. Picture Stabilization uses high sensitivity to help reduce camera shake, freeze subject movement and improve low-light background detail to deliver virtually blur free images. Meanwhile, Face Detection can detect up to 10 faces in a frame, optimize focus and exposure, and automatically reduce red-eye – perfect for those shots of family and friends.

High Sensitivity
With High Sensitivity and Low Noise up to ISO 1600, the Z33WP lets you capture subjects under low-light conditions to produce high quality pictures with minimal noise and grain.

Intelligent Scene Recognition (SR Auto)
The FinePix Z33WP features Intelligent Scene Recognition (SR Auto). This clever technology automatically detects the scene you’re shooting – Portrait, Landscape, Night, Macro, Backlit Portrait and night Portrait – and optimizes the camera’s settings automatically to produce clear, properly exposed photos.

Couple timer and Group timer
The FinePix Z33WP features two NEW self-timer modes: Couple Timer and Group Timer. Working in combination with Face Detection technology, the Couple/Group timer automatically activates the shutter button after the camera has detected faces in a frame. 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. It can be set a various distances, whether they are standing side by side, or cheek-to-cheek. The Group Timer mode can detect up to four faces in a frame, and automatically sets the timer to take the shot and will only fire when all faces are fully in the frame, so there’s no danger of anyone being chopped out!

Blog Mode with 12 “In-camera” editing functions
There’s no fun in taking pictures if you can’t edit and share them with your friends. For users wanting to share their creative output with a wider audience, the FinePix Z33WP has new Blog mode with 12 “In-Camera” editing functions. You can easily change the size, color and contrast and use special effects like illustration, painting, or zooming to create cool looking photos that you can quickly and easily upload onto Facebook or other social networking sites. Additionally, In-Camera Movie Editing allows you to shoot multiple videos and piece them together into a 60 second movie clip. Simply pick the start and end points and you’ve created your own movie. Now that’s creative.

Perfect for ski trips, vacations or hanging out in your own pool, the FinePix Z33WP has the latest cool high tech features AND is extremely”lifeproof”. The FinePix Z33WP is expected to be available to Canadian consumers in April 2009 at a suggested retail price of CDN $229.99. The camera will be offered in Black, Blue, Green, Yellow and Pink and comes with a 2 Year Canadian Manufacturer’s Warranty.

Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP

Valhalla, NY, February 17, 2009 – Expanding the popular Z-series digital cameras for young-at-heart, trend-savvy consumers, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. delivers flexible functionality and form to active and hip users with the launch of the FinePix Z33WP digital camera. Perfect for budding photographers who want to experience life to the fullest, the FinePix Z33WP enables users to capture those precious moments, regardless of the conditions and share them easily with their extended network of friends and family members.

Life-Proof

The 10-Megapixel FinePix Z33WP is available in three striking colors – green, pink and black – and is ready for any adventure including underwater activity up to approximately 10 feet (3M)! A 2.7”, 230,000 dots resolution LCD screen – the largest of any Z-series camera yet – and Fujinon 3x Optical Zoom lens allows for a clearer view of those not-to-be-missed moments on the beach, on the ski slopes, hiking in the mountains or boating at the lake. It’s also perfect for everyday activities in the rain, the pool or any other place you might think twice about taking a conventional digital camera.

Intelligent Scene Recognition

Adding ease to outdoor navigation, the FinePix Z33WP is equipped with a new SR Auto (Automatic Scene Recognition) mode that enables the camera to intelligently recognize six types of scenes automatically. For each picture taken in this mode, the Z33WP will optimize the ideal exposure, focus, white balance and ISO for the scene to ensure the best quality picture is captured with ease. In addition, Fujifilm’s Picture Stabilization is powered by high sensitivity for faster shutter and operational speeds to help reduce camera shake, keeping real life moments as true to form as possible.

Easy Sharing

The family-friendly Z33WP also features Fujifilm’s handy Blog Mode which allows for easier sharing with friends and family members. The Blog mode automatically resizes a photo to a standard 640×480 pixels (VGA) or 320×240 pixels (QVGA) image size and enables 12 in-camera editing features such as Zooming, Miniature effect, Illustration and Painting, cutting the need for extra time with home editing.

In addition to these innovations, the FinePix Z33WP is loaded with the following handy features:

• Face Detection Technology: Operating in tandem with automatic red-eye removal, the FinePix Z33WP identifies up to 10 human faces in a scene, and sets the correct focus and exposure, regardless of where subjects are located within the frame.
• Automatic Red Eye Removal accents the aforementioned features by lending an extra touch to that group shot. The Z33WP automatically checks for red eye and self-corrects it in each and every person in the photo, saving time on post-editing.
• Couple and Group Timer Modes: Working in conjunction with Face Detection technology detects two faces in ‘Couple Timer Mode’ and up to four faces in ‘Group Timer Mode’ in a frame.
• One Touch MOVIE Button: Capture VGA quality movie clips at 30 frames per second with sound to capture all of those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
• Battery Life: The long-life rechargeable Li-ion battery (up to 200 shots) allows for extended use without worrying if the camera is going to last for the duration of the trip.

“With the success of the FinePix Z20fd for the Gen Y crowd, it is only a natural progression for Fujifilm to provide active, technology-savvy families with the unparalleled style and function that everyone demands in the 21st century,” said David Troy, marketing manager, Consumer Digital Cameras, Electronic Imaging Division, FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. “Today’s users not only want to experience everything life has to offer, but they also want their camera to be able to experience and capture it with them.”

The FinePix Z33WP will debut in late March at a retail price of US $199.95.
