The right choice for any light

Truly intelligent metering

The FinePix S2 Pro gives you a choice of three TTL exposure metering modes, together designed to handle virtually any lighting situation.

•Matrix Metering/3D Matrix Metering provides intelligent metering even in the trickiest lighting. In addi- tion to reading scene bright-

ness, the system analyses the overall “atmosphere” of the frame by comparing the

exposure information to its scene-condition database, including brightness, contrast, subject-to-camera dis- tance and the selected focus area. The 10-segment 3D Matrix Metering is activated when using D or G type Nikkor lenses. The result: automatic exposure control that is astonishingly accurate.

•Center-weighted Metering concentrates the sens- ing area on the center of the viewfinder. This traditional metering mode is useful for shooting portraits and other center-dominant subjects.

•Spot Metering gives you true pinpoint precision, ideal whenever you need exact exposure for a particu- lar part of the scene.

Versatile exposure control

With four modes for controlling aperture and shutter speed, the FinePix S2 Pro offers complete exposure versatility, no matter what your style of shooting.

P	• Multi Programmed AE mode (P): Works with
	any of the FinePix S2 Pro’s metering modes,

including 3D Matrix Metering, to provide the quickest and simplest exposure control option. Flexible Program lets you shift aperture and shutter speed in tandem, always maintaining the correct exposure value.

S	• Shutter-Priority AE mode (S): Allows you to
	select any shutter speed between 1/4000 and

30 seconds. The FinePix S2 Pro then automatically sets the correct aperture to match. This mode makes

100/160/200/400/800/1600, the FinePix S2 Pro is ready for virtually any light conditions, whether in the studio or on location.

Additional exposure features

•Exposure Compensation: Adjustable from –2 to +2 EV in 1/3-step increments

•Auto Exposure Bracketing: Automatically cap- tures three consecutive shots in 1/3, 2/3 or 1 EV increments over and under the set exposure

•Auto Exposure Lock: Holds the metered exposure value as long as required

•Multiple Exposure: Allows you to superimpose as many images as you like on the same frame

High-resolution LCD monitor

The 1.8-inch low tem- perature polysilicon TFT- LCD monitor on the back panel of the FinePix S2 Pro delivers crisp, clear images of 130,000 pixels. Coverage is 100% of

the frame, as is the viewfinder. The LCD monitor can be used to display and check images as soon as you shoot them, and a playback zoom function allows enlargement of any image for detailed inspection.

The camera also has a convenient backlit dot matrix LCD display, enabling photographers to check or change a variety of camera settings quickly.

A	• Aperture-Priority AE mode (A): Ideal for times
	when your first concern is controlling depth of

field. Choose any aperture you want, and the camera automatically selects the correct shutter speed.

• Manual exposure mode (M): Lets you freely M set both the shutter speed and aperture.

Wide shutter speed and ISO equivalency

With a range of shutter speeds from 1/4000 to 30 seconds and user-selectable ISO equivalents of

els. This feature is particularly convenient for on-the-spot confirmation of exposure, from highlights to shadows, as well as color range, both of which can be difficult to evaluate using an LCD monitor alone.
