1. High-Magnification Zoom and Powerful Optical Image Stabilisation

The SL1000 incorporates a newly-developed 50 optical FUJINON zoom lens (24mm-1200mm*1) with fast apertures of f/2.9 to f/6.5 and powerful new Optical Image Stabilisation, to reduce the effect of blurring at longer zoom lengths. With 17 elements in 12 groups, the lens combines aspherical and ED elements for reduced aberration and superior image quality. FUJINON's unique Super EBC coating technology is employed to reduce ghosting and flare for sharp results with backlit subjects in challenging situations. Capable of super-macro photography at distances as close as 1cm, this is a camera that is flexible enough to be used in any situation.

2. Fast AF and High speed responses

The SL1000 uses a 16 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with the ability to shoot at sensitivities as high as ISO 12800*2, ensuring you capture high quality images even in low light conditions. With autofocus speeds as fast as 0.2 seconds*3, a startup time of 0.9 seconds, and continuous shooting mode at 10 fps at full resolution (max 9 frames), the SL1000 ensures you'll never miss a shot.

3. Full HD Video 60p/fps with stereo sound

Thanks to the CMOS sensor, the SL1000 is capable of 1080i Full HD video capture at 60 frames per second, with stereo sound. Just press the dedicated video button on the back of the camera and you will be on your way to becoming your very own film director. With a number of advanced video-editing features, including Movie Trimming to cut unwanted video footage, and Movie Join to join multiple separate clips into a single movie.

Additionally, FUJIFILM's Scene Recognition technology works when recording videos and will recognise up to 6 types of scene, to ensure picture quality is always optimised. You can get even more creative and shoot an incredible 480fps*4 for incredible slow motion capture.

4. Hassle free image composition with Tilting LCD screen

With its highly detailed (920K dot) Electronic Viewfinder, the SL1000 is perfect for helping you frame your composition in bright sunshine. Thanks to an eye sensor, the SL1000 is able to switch automatically between the EVF and the 3.0-inch Tilting LCD (920K dot) screen by sensing whenever your eye is near. This saves you the trouble of adjusting camera settings when you want to be framing photographs and guarantees stress-free operation, whichever display you use.

5. Handy controls so you never miss that crucial shot

In addition to the standard zoom toggle controls on the top of the camera, a second zoom lever is placed on the side of the lens barrel, allowing you to adjust the zoom range with your left hand, while your right index finger rests on the shutter button, ready to take the shot. Choose from three zoom speeds or use the Auto Return Zoom for long zoom photography. The mode dial makes choosing a shooting mode easy - P, S, A, and M modes can be selected at the twist of a dial for sophisticated photographic techniques using manual exposure control.

6. Creative expression made easy

The Advanced Filter functions allow you to indulge your artistic expression in-camera. The FinePix SL1000 users can choose from up to 8 different artistic effects:

Pop Colour - emphasises contrast and colour saturation

Toy Camera - creates shaded borders as if you were taking a photo on a toy camera

Miniature - adds top and bottom blur for a diorama or miniature effect

Partial Colour captures a black and white image but retains one of 6 additional colours (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple)

High Key - enhances brightness and reduces contrast to lighten tonal reproduction.

Cross screen (NEW) creates starbursts around bright objects

Soft Focus (NEW) blur the focus of the image's edges to create a softer effect

In addition to these creative effects, the SL1000 offers Panoramic shooting just by pressing the shutter and spinning on the spot, whether the camera is in portrait or landscape orientation, the results are great. You can also create 3D shots by combining two separate shots, taken from slightly different angles for a fun effect. And Instant zoom, which shows your composition and includes a view of the area outside of the frame, letting you concentrate on composing the shot without losing sight of the big picture.
