Valhalla, NY—Fujifilm North America added to its FinePix Real 3D system with the FinePix Real 3D W3 digital camera, which steps up from its predecessor with the ability to shoot high-resolution 3D photos and movies in 3D HD at 720p.
Employing a new RP (Real Photo) processor, the W3 offers a mini HDMI port, for playback on most 3D televisions, and an autostereoscopic 3D widescreen 3.5-inch LCD that displays high-contrast images and movies that can be viewed in 3D without using 3D glasses.
“Last year, Fujifilm introduced the first real, complete solution for 3D digital photography, once again showing our commitment to the evolution of imaging technology,” said Go Miyazaki, division president, Imaging and Electronic Imaging divisions, Fujifilm North America Corp. “With the new FinePix Real 3D W3 digital camera, we have made 3D imaging more accessible to all consumers, enabling them to shoot in 3D HD and making it easy to view their photos and movies on most 3D TV systems.”
The slim, stainless steel W3 has a black matte finish and is ergonomically designed, measuring 21.0 mm at its thinnest point and weighing 8.5 ounces with battery and memory card. Its horizontal lens cover with a wave detail serves as the on/off switch.
Fujifilm’s FinePix Real 3D technology was developed to capture true 3D using twin 10 megapixel CCD sensors and dual Fujinon 3x optical zoom lenses (35-105mm) that are spaced 75mm apart to create realistic images similar to how human eyes see them. The synchronized control of the twin sensors releases the left and right shutters at the same time to produce a synchronized image with a natural sense of depth. Both the camera’s 3D and 2D auto functions help enable even novices to take high-definition high-resolution movies and photos, while audio is captured in stereo.
Other features include: individual shutter 3D shooting, so users can take two shots of the same subject from different positions, and have the camera automatically merge and save the captured images as a single, enhanced 3D photo; interval 3D shooting for capturing a 3D effect in faraway subjects; tele/wide simultaneous shooting, to zoom in on a subject while taking a wide-angle shot of the same scene; two-color simultaneous shooting, so that with a press of the shutter, users can take photos of the same scene with a different color tonality; and dual-sensitivity simultaneous shooting, which allows shooters to capture high and standard sensitivity simultaneously.
Also offered by the FinePix Real 3D W3 are a switch 2D/3D button, a one-touch movie mode, MyFinePix Studio 3D movie and photo editor software, manual shooting functions, 13 scene positions that match the subject and situation with the camera automatically optimizing settings for common shooting environments, an intelligent flash system and a 3D print solution (5x7-inch 3D prints are priced at $6.99).
The FinePix Real 3D W3 digital camera will be available in early September at a retail price of $499.95.
