FinePix REAL 3D Technology Debut

FinePix REAL 3D Technology pioneers a new dimension in imaging.

Welcome to the Future of Imaging

From the advanced 3D digital camera to the stunning 3D digital viewer and breakthrough 3D printing technology, this total 3D imaging system will change the way you take and enjoy photos. Viewed with just the naked eye, 3D images come alive with breathtaking reality and natural beauty. Images that once were only a dream are now a reality.

FinePix REAL 3D Lens System

High-precision Lens Alignment Technology for High-quality 3D Image Capture

Acclaimed for superb resolution and definition, Fujinon lenses are the choice of professional cameramen and a key component of many professional imaging devices. For the FinePix REAL 3D W1, Fujifilm has developed a groundbreaking image capture system comprising two Fujinon lenses and two CCDs, and the system is integrated in the compact body with high-precision engineering. An aluminum die-cast frame provides the solid platform for the precision alignment of the left and right lenses so you can take 3D images with an unprecedented quality of reality.

RP (Real Photo) Processor 3D

Instant and Simultaneous Processing of Image Data Captured by the Twin Lens-CCD System

Image data captured by the twin lens-CCD system is processed by the RP (Real Photo) Processor 3D - a newly developed processor that evaluates all photographic factors from focus and brightness to color tonality, and then merges the left and right images in a single 3D image. It is also the power behind 3D Auto - the function that makes point-and-shoot 3D photography a reality! This processor also controls the two capture systems independently to shoot two different images of the same subject simultaneously - each with different photographic settings.

3D LCD Monitor System

Original Technology Displays 3D Images that Jump Out of the Screen

Our ability to perceive depth comes from viewing an object along two different lines of sight. This phenomenon is called parallax. The monitor on the 3D digital camera uses an originally developed “Light Direction Control System”, and the 3D digital viewer adopts a “Parallax Barrier System” to precisely direct light to the right and left eyes in a way that simulates parallax. Both enable easy and natural viewing of 3D images with just the naked eye.

Enjoy 3D Playback on the Rear Camera Monitor and Viewer

With the FinePix REAL 3D system, you can review images in 3D on the camera's LCD monitor and also on the large LCD monitor of the 3D digital viewer. Frame your shot in 3D and play it back in 3D on the spot with the camera's monitor. On the large-screen 3D digital viewer, you can enjoy and share the full impact and presence of your 3D photos.

High-resolution 3D Print System

Advanced Printing Technology for Production of Quality 3D Prints

Fujifilm has succeeded in the precision lamination of high-resolution, low-halation prints with lenticular sheets that create the 3D effect. Advanced technology encodes and aligns the captured 3D image according to the pitch of micro lenses arranged in parallel rows on the lenticular sheet. Seen through the sheet, image data is perceived with a parallax effect. The result is a natural and beautiful 3D print that preserves and breathes life into the moment forever.

3D Printing Principles

4. Lenticular sheet

Step 1
When passing through the lenticular sheet (sheet with cylindrical parallel lenses), interlaced image data are separated into left and right images.

Step 2
The left and right eyes see the respective images.

Step 3
Parallax interprets the disparity between the images as a sense of depth.

3D File Format

For 3D image recording, the FinePix REAL 3D system adopts the MP format for stills and 3D-AVI format for movies. MP format is the “multi-picture format” standardized by CIPA*. FinePix REAL 3D W1 can also simultaneously record still images in both MP format (3D) and JPEG (2D). 3D-AVI adopts the widely used AVI multimedia container format. Adoption of these formats enables 2D playback of recorded images on the user's current personal computer. With the bundled FinePix Viewer image viewing software, users can also convert MP format and 3D-AVI to conventional 2D formats.

3D Shooting

Shooting 3D images with an unprecedented “real feel” is simple and automatic with the built-in 3D Auto function of the FinePix REAL 3D W1 digital camera.

3D Auto Shooting

3D Still and Movie Shooting with Double 10 megapixels CCD Plus 3x Optical Zoom

Frame your subject, press the shutter, and the scene is captured in a high-quality 3D image. Not only stills but also movie shooting recorded with sound can be taken effortlessly. Featuring an innovative 3D viewing LCD monitor, you can playback the results in 3D right on the spot.

Advanced 3D Modes

Individual Shutter 3D Shooting

With Individual Shutter 3D Shooting, you can take two shots of the same subject from different positions, and the camera automatically merges and saves the captured images as a single enhanced 3D photo. After the first image is taken, it appears as a transparent overlay on the monitor to help you align and frame the second shot. Photos of distant subjects like mountains and skyscrapers look amazing in enhanced 3D, while close-up subjects like flowers come to life in natural 3D.

Macro Photography

Shoot 3D photos with a more natural sense of depth.

2D Shooting

FinePix REAL 3D system opens new frontiers in 2D shooting. Two 3x optical zoom Fujinon lenses and two CCDs let you capture versatile styles of simultaneous shooting possible.

Twin FUJINON Lens & RP (Real Photo) Processor 3D

Two built-in Fujinon 3x optical zoom lenses and two CCDs, each with 10 megapixel resolution, comprise the hardware platform for the image capture system. In addition, the advanced image processing of the newly developed RP (Real Photo) Processor 3D enhances the resolution of 2D images, reproducing the subject in every detail.

Advanced 2D Mode

The Advanced 2D Modes let users use the two image capture systems independently. Just like shooting with 2 digital cameras, the user can choose different zoom, sensitivity and color settings for each image capture system and take 2 photos of the same scene at the same instant.

Tele/Wide Simultaneous Shooting

Zoom in on your subject and also take a wide-angle shot of the same scene at the same time. The twin-lens system lets you freely set the zoom magnification for one lens while the other is set to wide angle, letting you capture the exact same instant with totally different angles of view.

• * With Tele/Wide Simultaneous Shooting, the left lens can zoom while the right lens is fixed in a wide angle setting.

Wide Angle                                       3x Optical Zoom

2-Color Simultaneous Shooting

Change the settings and with one press of the shutter, you can take two photos of the same scene with a different color tonality. Set one lens system to Standard and the other to the vivid colors of Chrome. You can also capture the scene in both Standard and vintage Black & White or shoot simultaneously with Chrome and Black & White. Fujifilm doubles your enjoyment of every moment.

Standard                                          Black & White

2-Sensitivity Simultaneous Shooting

Take two photos of the same instant - one at high sensitivity and one at low sensitivity. For example, you can take panned shots of a moving subject at the exact same instant with different degrees of background motion blur. In dark scenes, you can prioritize blur reduction for one shot, and image quality for the other. For times when you are not sure which sensitivity setting is best, you can shoot the moment at two settings and later pick the image to keep during playback.
