Fujifilm is pleased to announce the launch of the FinePix Big Job HD-3W the first camera of its kind to be released by Fujifilm in the UK. It is a heavy-duty and highly practical digital camera designed to be used in the most challenging of environments.
Having withstood a drop test to 70cm and featuring a rubber grip and big buttons, this waterproof, dust proof and shockproof camera can endure what other cameras only dream of.
The FinePix Big Job HD-3W is perfect for the construction, engineering, health and safety and manufacturing industries, or any environment where it is likely to get knocked around.
Ergonomic design
The FinePix Big Job HD-3W has a very tough exterior. It is waterproof and can withstand being submerged for up to 30 minutes in depths of up to 1 metre.
In addition, the layout of the big, easy-to-use buttons allows the camera to be used whilst wearing gloves, will helps to ensure that the camera it will not be dropped at the most crucial moment.
However, the FinePix Big Job is also shockproof, so in the unlikely event of an accidental drop, (up to 70cm) your camera and images will be protected.
Wide angle zoom lens
The FinePix Big Job HD-3W features many improvements over its predecessor resulting from customer feedback in Japan. The new model combines a wide-angle 3x (28-84mm) optical zoom lens with a large, scratch resistant 3" LCD screen so images can be viewed on the back of the camera more clearly.
Low light - no limits
The camera also features a 6 Megapixel CCD sensor and ISO sensitivity of up to 1600, so detailed; low noise images can be captured in low light levels, such as dark construction sites, without the need for flash.
However, for times when flash is needed, the powerful built in strobe enables longer flash distance of up to 10 meters.
Breaking boundries....
In two world firsts for the FinePix range the Big Job HD-3W features 'Detection of Manipulation' and 'CALS' modes.
The first highlights any tampering that has occurred to images after the photo has been taken. Using the FinePix viewer software on a computer, it is possible to check whether the image has been processed or edited to ensure the integrity of all images.
The CALS mode takes photos at 1MP an ideal size for attaching and distributing via email. These unique features, along with the Shot Date function, which records the time and date that the photo was taken, make monitoring and reporting the progress of work highly reliable and as simple as possible.
