See Things Differently

The photographic creative process requires light. Yet the minds eye is not limited to what we see with our own

eyes, but digital cameras have little inherent inability to see past the spectrum of creativity. That is until now!

The IS-1 neo-SLR and IS Pro DSLR are the worlds first production professional digital cameras that can see

from the ultraviolet (UVB) through the visible and into the near infrared portion of the light spectrum. The

advanced ultraviolet and Infrared film technologies and techniques were pioneered by and once limited to

scientific and law enforcement professionals. Now these two new cameras open a new era that unleashes the

creative potential that embodies FUJIFILM’s passion for photography.

Fujifilm is proud to introduce the world’s first

professional digital cameras that see past the limits

of the human eye.

IS Pro Real Photo Technology Pro

The next stage in the evolution of advanced digital image processing technology

In many scientific applications involving alternative light source (ALS) photography, quite often there are very limited amounts of available UV or IR light
reflecting from the subject. Therefore, higher ISO’s in combination with low noise CCD signal processing is critical. Fujifilm has introduced “Real Photo
Technology Pro” to overcome signal to noise limitations that plague many third party IR camera conversions. It fuses our new wide spectrum sensitive Super
CCD SR Pro and RP(Real Photo) Processor Pro to realize ultrahigh resolution with superb S/N ratios. The twin pixel array of Super CCD SR Pro provides a
wider dynamic range and rich tonality for performance and image quality beyond imagination.

Super CCD SR Pro
High Sensitivity ISO3200 & High S/N Ratio

NEW

RP (REAL PHOTO) PROCESSOR Pro
Exhaustive Noise Reduction & Smoother Tonality

Emulating the composition of negative film, the unique double-photodiode matrix of

Super CCD SR Pro consists of 6.17 million high-sensitivity S-pixels with large light

reception surface area and 6.17 million R-pixels for wide dynamic range with small

light receptor area. The large 23.0mm × 15.5mm CCD with its high resolution canvas

of 12.3 million effective pixels also achieves a dynamic range of 400%, approaching

that of negative film. It’s sensitive to a spectrum capture range between 380nm and

1000nm. Also its newly optimized protective glass filter reduces problematic dust

cleaning, yet enables maximum UV and IR penetration with limited moiré pattern

effects. Achieving both high resolution and high S/N ratio.

Freedom to customize
the extended dynamic range

The extended dynamic range setting can be precisely and optimally

set according to subject and scene conditions. In addition to Auto

for automatic range selection, there is a Manual mode offering a

selection of 6 steps: 100% (STD), 130%, 170%, 230% (W1), 300%

and 400% (W2). Select 400% (W2) and get maximum performance

of both “S” and “R” pixels for an exposure level equivalent to +2EV

and cap ability to capt ure out standing photos in high -contrast

scenes.

Extended dynamic range image formation

This newly developed processor features the very latest in digital image
processing technology. Using “Double Noise Reduction” and a unique
advanced algorithm, RP
Processor Pro accurately
identifies, separates and
eliminates virtually only noise
from the image data signal.

Even at the highest sensitivity

of ISO3200, the clarity is

amazing.

“Face Detection Technology” based on FUJIFILM “Image Intelligence™”

“Image Intelligence™”–the distillation of the vast image processing technology and know-how of FUJIFILM into a database for application in

diverse domains from printing industry to the medical field. In the case of the FinePix IS Pro, high-accuracy face analysis and detection

technology has been integrated in a custom IC chip that can analyze a captured image in an instant and simultaneously detect up to 10 faces. It

is a powerful new solution to meet the high quality demands of photography.
