MP3 Music Playback Function

Completing its lineup of functions, the FinePix 50i is also an MP3 player allowing up to four hours of listening with a fully charged battery.

You can listen to your favorite songs anytime, anywhere simply by storing music data from CDs or from the Internet via your computer onto a SmartMedia™ card (with ID protection)* that you can insert into your camera. Up to 160 minutes of MP3 music may be stored on a 128 MB SmartMedia™ card. The FinePix 50i is capable of displaying the titles of music stored on SmartMedia™ cards on the camera’s LCD. It is also possible to delete all the stored music tracks at once or one track at a time.

*The use of SmartMedia™ with InfoBind (a copyright protection system) and a unique ID effectively protects copyrights by encrypting music data to prevent unauthorized copying.

web sites. The applications convert MP3 files to encrypted files before recording them on the SmartMedia™ card.

Superb Image Quality and Quick Response

Outstanding Image Quality Using the Fujifilm Super CCD

Fujifilm incorporates a 1/1.7-inch 2.4-million pixel Super CCD in the FinePix 50i that realizes high-resolution image files with 4.3 million pixels (2400 × 1800 pixels). Compared with conventional CCDs, Fujifilm’s Super CCD offers higher image quality with nat- ural, clear and sharp images.

The FinePix 50i uses a Super EBC Fujinon lens that is equivalent to 36mm on a 35mm camera. This high-performance, multi-coated lens with low chromatic aberration and a large aperture of f2.8 maxi- mizes the potential of the Super CCD to deliver excellent images.

Ultra-slim and Stylish

World’s Slimmest*

Extremely slim and highly compact, the FinePix 50i’s small dimen- sions of 85.5 (W) × 71.0 (H) × 23.5 (D) mm (3.4 × 2.8 × 0.9 inches) easily slip into a jacket pocket and fit nicely into your hand. Weighing- in at only 160g (5.6oz) without the battery pack, the FinePix 50i is very lightweight. In order to realize this world’s slimmest digital cam- era in its class, the internal structure of the camera was revised and a new original slim lithium-ion battery was developed.
