"FUJIFILM believes in bringing the latest of its technological innovations to the discerning buyers in India. In accordance with our strategy to become one of the top digital camera brands in India and acquire 15 percent market share in three years, we shall continue to introduce digital camera models that are either world's first in some aspect, are award winning or based on an innovative technology that's exclusive to FUJIFILM owing to our incessant research and development," said Kenichi Tanaka, Managing Director, Fujifilm India.
Now let us see how this camera works. To achieve a 3D image, it is necessary to layer together two images, so two Fujinon lenses are installed. While using the 'individual shutter 3D shooting' mode, the camera takes two shots, one after the other, and saves a single 3D image in the camera manually. The 3D image generated can also be edited and this is particularly useful for landscape photography where a 3D image is difficult to achieve, or conversely, macro shots, where the 3D effect can be too strong. While using the 'interval 3D shooting' mode, it is possible to take two shots from different viewpoints continuously while the photographer is moving, for example by train, airplane, or car, to achieve 3D images of long-distance views.
FinePix REAL 3D W1 has a 3x optical zoom and 2.8 inch 3D/2D LCD monitor and Fujifilm's LCD panel. This camera also brings new possibilities in 2D photography owing to the fact that it is actually two digital cameras rolled into one. Its 'advanced 2D mode' lets users take two different shots simultaneously by pressing the shutter once. With 'tele/wide simultaneous shooting' mode, it is possible to take a close-up photo (zoom) of the subject and, at the same time, a photo with a wider span (wide angle) - just by changing the settings of the two lenses.
On the occasion of the launch A. Rajkumar, Country General Manager (DSC), Fujifilm India said, "Fujifilm invented the digital camera and we continue to lead technological innovations in the imaging industry. Our latest 3D imaging system exemplifies this well enough."
Users can simply insert the SD memory card, in which 3D images (or videos) have been saved, into the 3D viewer and enjoy a 3D slideshow. They can be in complete control using the intuitive remote control. If the 'Parallax Control' is used, users can adjust the 3D effect on the viewer manually. The 3D viewer has easy-to-use features like micro thumbnail view and image search. It can also receive image data via high-speed IR (infrared) communication. Users can also directly connect it to their PC via USB and transfer stored images to the viewer for display.
