fuji-3d-camera FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. in last week announced the FinePix Real 3D W1 camera will become available in the U.S. Introduced globally over the summer, the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D system appears to be the world’s first 3D camera that captures 3D still photographs and movies, enables people to enjoy images special 3D video glasses.

The Fujifilm FinePix 3D camera is featuring the newly developed “FinePix Real 3D Lens System”. The Fujifilm FinePix 3D camera has dual Fujinon lenses that layer together two images. The Real Photo Processor 3D synchronizes data from the two lenses and two CCD sensors, to determine shooting conditions such as brightness, focus and tonality to instantaneously blend this information into a single symmetrical image for both still photos and movies. The Fujifilm FinePix 3D camera is also “Nvidia 3D vision-ready” which allows people to view 3D pictures and movies in full HD on a PC. An aluminium die-cast frame protects the 3X optical zoom lenses from vibration and impact for ultimate accuracy.

The 3D/2D LCD monitor features Fujifilm’s own LCD panel, exclusively made for the display of the 3D/2D images on digital cameras, allowing users to see beautiful, natural 3D images with the naked eye. As the camera performs a series of image processing steps automatically, anyone can take 3D photos and movies by just pointing the camera and pressing the shutter button.

The Fujifilm FinePix 3D camera is also featuring an “Advanced 3D Mode” which allows adjusting the settings to suit the scene being photographed and make editing; and an “Interval 3D Shooting” mode allows further flexibility, making it possible to take two shots from different viewpoints continuously while the photographer is moving such as by car, to achieve 3D images of long-distance views.

The Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D system consists of the 3D camera digital, FinePix Real 3D W1, a 3D digital viewer, FinePix Real 3D V1, and 3D prints.

The Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D V1, a digital 3D viewer, features Fujifilm’s newly developed 3D/2D display 8-inch LCD panel which allows people to enjoy and playback 3D images from the Fujifilm FinePix 3D camera without the need for special 3D glasses. With various playback functions, users can enjoy 3D and 2D slideshows, as well as a Micro Thumbnail View, and an easy-to-use “Image Search” feature. The FinePix Real 3D V1 is featuring 2D/3D playback functions with a user friendly “Image Search” feature and also enables to read stored and transfer the data image via high-speed infrared or connect to computer via USB.

Fujifilm has integrated high-precision prints with lenticular sheets, resulting in the ability to produce high-resolution 3D images. The process involves the 3D image data being integrated using highly advanced technology, and projected through a lenticular sheet lens to produce an image with binocular disparity. This then creates a special 3D print with incredible detail. Prints will only be available through SeeHere.com, Fujifilm’s photo printing, gifting, and sharing Web site.

Effective Wednesday, the FinePix Real 3D W1 Digital Camera and Real 3D V1 Digital Viewer are available through www.ShopFujifilm.com. The camera is also available through the Gear Store on www.Nvidia.com/Shop. The Fujifilm FinePix 3D camera retails for $599.95, and the viewer sells for $499.95. Prints will also be available, starting mid-October, through SeeHere.com for $6.99. Delivery on prints will take approximately 15 business days.
