If you’ve ever wondered whether a digital camera can combine quality and simplicity,
the DS-330 has all the right answers. In a moment, you’ll discover that it couldn’t be
easier to use. And a glance at the image quality will tell you that the performance and
resolution are comparable to those of our most advanced digital SLRs.

Check the resolution of an image taken with the DS-330, and examine the color reproduction. You’ll be pleasantly
surprised to find the image quality is close to the results you get with silver-halide film. Until you see it for yourself,
that might sound impossible, but the DS-330 was created to make you a believer.
EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Perfect vision
If you’re wondering how the DS-330’s images can approach photographic quality, think of the 2/3-inch CCD as a “digital eye.” It’s the same one used in our top-of-the-line DS­560/565 digital SLRs, and it has 1.4 million pixels (effec­tively 1.3 million in an array of 1,280
× 1,000 pixels). This
integration is so advanced that the resolution is almost four times higher than the 640
×
480 pixels of a VGA.
The number of pixels is a sign of image quality, but their proportions are just as impor­tant. With square pixels special­ly for a digital camera, there’s no need to adjust the horizon­tal/vertical ratio when data are input to a PC. That means data transfer is faster and image quality isn’t affected.
The DS-330 also has an RGB filter which reproduces colors much more accurately than a conventional comple­mentary-color filter. The differ­ence this primary-color filter makes is particularly noticeable with high saturation and gray tones—areas where other digital cameras usually fall short.

An exact balance
Whether you’re shooting at midday or in the soft light at the end of day, you can opti­mize the exposure with the DS-330’s three-step White Balance system. Fixed at 5500K, the Standard setting is suited to daylight. Option 1 is specially for the continuous light including artificial light­ing as well as low light at sunset and nighttime. And Option 2 adjusts the white bal­ance for flash photography in a studio.

The professional’s choice
Whether you’re using a 35 mm camera or a digital model, no image can be better than your lens. That’s why the DS-330 has a Super EBC Fujinon Lens—a highly regarded design that’s even used in professional broadcast cameras. To eliminate ghosting and flare, it has an exclusive EBC multi-coating.
To cover focal lengths equivalent to the 35–105 mm range of a 35 mm camera, sim­ply press the electronic Zoom Button. The Optical 3
× Mode is
always ready for wide-angle and telephoto shots.
When a subject is unusually far away, just switch to the Digital 2
× Mode for a 6× tele-
photo setting comparable to a conventional camera’s 210 mm focal length. There’s also a Macro function for images in full A5 size (half of letter size) shot from as close as 20 cm (7.8 in.).
The mind’s eye
The DS-330 has five exposure modes. In the Auto Mode, optimal shooting settings are determined automatically for the aperture, shutter speed, focusing and more. Choose the Programmed AE Mode, and the camera will determine the optimal combination of aper­ture and shutter speed. For greater creative control, use the Aperture-Priority Mode, Shutter Speed-Priority Mode or even Manual Mode. Capable of handling the most complicated lighting, it also has a TTL Intelligent AE sys­tem that reads the lighting at nine points in the frame and calculates the appropriate exposure automatically.
You’ll find some extras as well. If you decide to capture a scene in an expressive gray­scale image, use the B/W Mode to be sure that you record all the gradations.
When you want to accentu­ate the contrast and sharpen the edges, the Clear Mode will create a dramatic effect.

Sophisticated functions and the easy operation of a point-and-shoot camera are only some of the DS-330’s handling
advantages. Its digital capabilities open up almost limitless possibilities.
And you’ll quickly discover they’re only the beginning.
A NEW DEPARTURE
Integration means innovation
The DS-330’s high-precision Super Hybrid Autofocus system makes focusing incredibly fast and absolutely accurate. It’s based on an integration of active and passive AF as well as CCD AF. Of course, you can also control the focus manually just by turning the Up/Down Dial to the appropriate setting.
Friendly formats
The DS-330 records images in Fujifilm’s original Exif (JPEG) format* on an ATA-compliant PC Card. The widely used inter­national JPEG standard elimi­nates any worries about PC compatibility, while the Exif format automatically records information such as thumbnail images, the date, aperture, shut­ter speed and other shooting data.
*
In the Hi Mode, the TIFF-YC format is used for recording. Fujifilm’s optional software is required to open the images.
Both practical and elegant
The DS-330 is the first digital camera with a body made from a corrosion-resistant, high-purity magnesium compound. Created with a special Thixomolding process, it has the unmistakable look and feel of quality. Even more important, it offers the durability, precision and light weight that are impossible to achieve with plastic. There’s also an aluminum lens barrel that’s exceptionally strong and finished to exacting tolerances.
The creative edge
For all its sophistication, the DS-330 simplifies creativity at every step.
Just add the optional LV-D3 LCD Viewfinder, and you’ll have a real image of your sub­ject, without any worries about parallax distortion. During cap­ture, you can see the image through the lens, then review it afterwards. Since the viewfinder can be turned to any angle, it’s always easy to compose, even when the camera is held very low. The LCD Viewfinder also gives you a display of essential information including the aper­ture setting, shutter speed and exposure compensation.
To use an external flash, simply attach it to the hot shoe on top of the camera.
For fast and simple data transfer to a com­puter, input image files directly
from the PC Card or connect the DS-330 with an RS-232C cable. You can also speed up transfers by adding an optional Extension Unit with a SCSI connection that will move your image files almost before you know it.
A free hand
The DS-330 gives you both freedom and control. Use the Mode Dial and the Up/Down Dial to set the combination you want, from the exposure, manual focus and autofocus to the ISO sensitivity and more. Checking your settings is as easy as glancing at the large, easy-to-read LCD Panel. And Quick Select simplifies han­dling further by letting you pro­gram Custom Ready with the settings you use most often.

T o maximize the DS-330’s performance (and get more out of your photography), add an optional Extension Unit.
Whether you want to expand your creative opportunities or handle data more efficiently,
it will give you all the tools you need. Very , very quickly.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS
Move into action
Unless you have the right equipment, action photography takes luck as well as skill. That’s why you’ll welcome the ways that the DS-330’s Extension Units’ Continuous Mode can open up new sub­jects and approaches.
Both the EU-D3 and EU­D3A Extension Units can record up to 4.5 frames per second. The EU-D3 can cap­ture three frames in succes­sion, while the EU-D3A can shoot a sequence of 12 frames.

System configuration
The SCSI connection
The Extension Units have the answer when you want to move files faster than a serial port connection allows. Just connect a cable to a PC from the SCSI port for superhigh­speed data transfers.
You can also use the Extension Units to control the camera from a PC during shooting, and then record the data on your PC.
Take the direct approach
When you add an Extension Unit, you can also use the SCSI port for direct output to a digital color printer such as the Fujifilm Digital Color Printer NC-300D or Pictrography 3000. Simple and fast, this solution avoids the bother of transfer­ring data to your PC before you can print an image. Not only for full-frame images, the Extension Unit can also output an Index Print with reduced images of the shots you’ve recorded on the PC Card.
