왘 2✕ optical zoom + 4.4✕digital zoom
The FinePix M603 features a fast, responsive
Super EBC Fujinon
zoom lens with a focal
length equivalent to 3876mm on a 35mm
camera. This professional-quality, high-precision optic boasts
extremely low chromatic aberration and multilayer coating. Smooth digital zooming of up to
4.4✕* helps bring the action right in front of
your eyes. Combined with the 2✕optical zoom,
the FinePix M603 can effectively magnify
images up to approximately 8.8✕* – equivalent
to a 334mm lens in the 35mm format.
* In 640 ×480-pixel mode
왘 Super intelligent camera controls
Intelligent
automation
of focusing,
exposure,
and white
balance makes the FinePix M603 a snap to use.
The Intelligent High-Precision Auto Focus sys tem assures quicker and more accurate focusing.
The sophisticated Programmed Auto Exposure
mode automatically sets exposure using a precise
64-zone TTLmetering system. And the advanced
Super Intelligent Auto White Balance system
accurately determines light conditions for beautifully natural color reproduction. If you prefer
more hands-on control, the FinePix M603 also
offers manual white balance (six modes), sensitivity settings (ISO 160, 200, 400, 800 and
1600), and exposure compensation (13 levels in
0.3 EV steps).
왘 High-speed continuous shooting
Even in its still-camera mode, the FinePix M603
provides high-speed “T op-4 frame” Continuous
Shooting for capturing quick sequences up to 4
frames at 0.2 seconds intervals. Depending on
your needs, you can choose “Final 4-frame”
Continuous Shooting (5 frames/second just
before shutter button is released, up to 4
frames), or 1280 × 960-pixel Long-period
Continuous Shooting (1.8 frames/second for up
to 40 frames).
왘 xD-Picture Card support
The FinePix M603 is
designed around the xD-
Picture Card, the new standard in ultra-compact digital storage media.
With the introduction of the compatible USB
card reader and PC/
CompactFlash™ card
adapters, xD-Picture Cards
can be swapped freely
among a wide variety of
digital cameras, computers, and other devices.
왘 Dual media slots
Convenient dual media slots accept both xDPicture Cards and Microdrives™, letting you
concentrate on photos or movies requiring large
memory capacity, without worrying about stor-
왘 Versatile playback features
Captured movie clip images are smooth and
highly detailed, and recorded in the Motion
JPEG (AVI) format, so that you can also enjoy
viewing each frame as a high-quality still
image. Adding to the convenience are a variety
of playback modes. “Repeat Play”, for example, allows looped playback of any part of a
movie clip. “Quick Playback” enables highspeed playback of up to 60✕ the normal playback speed. “Zoom Play” lets you zoom in on
any part of the movie frame, while “Easy Edit”
allows you to delete unwanted scenes and
insert new material.
왘 Movie editing and DVD authoring
The included Image Mixer software lets you edit
your movies on your PC and easily produce
video CDs. The commercially available
“ImageMixer DVD” (DVD writing software)
converts movie files to MPEG files, and then
writes them onto DVD-R disks*. You’ll enjoy
building a library of your own movies – and
DVD videos make a great gift for family
or friends.
* PC internal or external DVD-R drive requir ed.
왘 2.5-inch large LCD monitor
and convenient handgrip
The oversize 2.5-inch LCD monitor
boasts 118,000 pixels for high-resolution viewing during both shooting and playback. Included with
the FinePix M603 is a detachable monitor hood that increases screen visibility in daylight
as well as protecting the
monitor. Also provided is a
removable handgrip for comfortable, secure camera holding.
왘 Advanced “Motion Photo” VGA-
sized full-frame movie recording
In addition to its outstanding still photography
capabilities, the FinePix M603 offers the most
advanced “Motion Photo” VGA-size full-frame
movie recording and playback capabilities of any
digital camera to date. Fujifilm’s world-class
breakthrough in horizontal/vertical Pixel Mixing
Technology, made possible by the 3rdGeneration Super CCD’s unique interwoven
pixel arrangement, enables VGA-size (640 ×480
pixels) movie recording at 30 frames/second,
including sound.
Other video options include VGA-size
movie recording at 15 frames/second or QVGAsize (320 × 240 pixels) movie recording at 15
frames/second. Using a 1GB Microdrive™, the
camera can record approximately 15 minutes of
640 × 480-pixel video at 30 frames/second, or
approximately 30 minutes at 15 frames/second.
The FinePix M603 offers full zoom functions and continuous autofocus on moving subjects during recording, giving you the same kind
of freedom and creative control as you’d enjoy
with a DV camcorder.

Pixel-Mixing
The Super CCD combines data of each two vertical pixels into single
data, and then similarly combines data of each two horizontal pixels
into single data.
This near-instantaneous processing allows reading of most pixel information, resulting in higher frame rates and high-quality VGA-sized
movies with enhanced brightness in the captured movie images.

Fujifilm’s
unique
1/1.7-inch
3rd-Generation
Super CCD
sensor.
Employing 3.1
million
effective
pixels, this
sensor delivers
an ultra-high-
quality 2832 × 2128 (6.03 million) recording pixels for classleading sensitivity, rich tonality, high signal/noise ratio, and
natural color reproduction. Anewly developed LSI imageprocessing algorithm further contributes to superb image quality,
whether shooting still photographs or VGA movies.
Ultra-high ISO 1600 maximum
sensitivity
While Fujifilm’s Super CCDs have always achieved higher
sensitivity than conventional CCDs, the 3rd-Generation Super
CCD system goes even further. It incorporates innovative Noise
Reduction and Pixel Data Coupling Technologies to offer ultrahigh ISO sensitivity. The FinePix M603 allows you to select any
sensitivity from ISO-equivalent 160 to an ultra-high ISO 800* and
1600*, ideal for freezing fast action or for non-flash availablelight shooting.
