The New Fuji IS-1 IR-UV Camera

The IS-1 is a specially modified Neo-SLR digital camera with a built-in 10.7X zoom that helps reduce dust common in interchangeable lens SLR's. This camera is more suited to the point and shoot needs of of forensic or scientific photographers, yet retains some of the basic features that made the S3 Pro UVIR so popular. The technology designed into the Fujifilm IS-1 was initially designed for traditional visible wavelength imagery. However, the natural low noise signature of the Fujifilm Super CCD produces high quality high resolution images within a limited band of Visual to Infrared. Because of the wide range of light spectrums captured, focusing and exposure are often done manually. However if enough visible light is available auto focusing will work.

Unfiltered color images will retain a pink hue due to the added presence of increased red and infrared light captured. A great deal of this cast can be eliminated by adding a hot mirror filter or UVIR cut filter to remove the presence of IR light.

Lens Filtration

Live Preview Mode

Specific wavelengths can be isolated and captured from daylight or artificial light sources via lens filtering using the PECA IR-UV Filters and by use of an Alternative Light Source (ALS).
 
Due to the wide range of light spectrums captured, focusing and exposure may need to be done manually. The IS-1's live CCD preview mode from the cameras LCD monitor is helpful when focusing. The 10X focus zoom in feature provides an extreme close-up that you can use to fine tune your focus.

Tilting LCD Display

Picture Stabilization Technology

The IS-1 has all its angles covered with a tilting 2" LCD making it easy to frame your shot from a variety of shooting positions. And thanks to the LCD gain up control, you'll be able to view the LCD in bright and low light conditions even when the lens is filtered with opaque IR filters. Sharp fine focus using manual focusing via the LCD viewfinder is assisted by a 10X center point zoom feature. The viewfinder is electronic with 235,000 pixel resolution and provides approximately 100% coverage. Fast moving subject? No problem. Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization technology utilizes the heightened sensitivity of the Fujifilm IS-1 at ISO1600 and high-speed shutter settings to prevent camera shake or freeze subject movement, keeping blur to a minimum. This easy to access feature (selectable on the mode dial) lets the Fujifilm IS-1 choose the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed automatically, for the highest quality digital pictures.
