Rapid Tuning Technology (RTUNE)
With Rapid Tuning Technology you will be able to take images with the
Finecam S5R that were missed before. Imagine being able to capture the
very moment the flame is extinguished on your daughter's first birthday cake
or your son sliding into home plate with the winning run! Any action
sequence can now be captured, printed and shared with the Finecam S5R
featuring Rapid Tuning Technology.
The Rapid Tuning Technology high-speed imaging processor provides the world’s
fastest full-memory consecutive shooting of any digital camera. Incorporated into
the Finecam S5R, Rapid Tuning Technology provides the combined features of full-
memory successive shooting at approximately 3 frames per second and improved
image quality and dynamic range. In addition, the “DayFine” LCD Monitor displays
the subject in real time during consecutive shooting. Rapid Tuning is the perfect
solution for subjects on the move such as pets, children and sporting events.
With conventional digital cameras, the level of each RGB color in captured images
is controlled by adjusting the white balance after converting the analog image infor-
mation from the CCD to the digital signal processor. However, this method requires
compensating an uneven signal level for each RGB color at the analog stage with
the digital signal processor, so if the signal levels in the shadow areas are not suffi-
cient, the result is poor image quality.
The Rapid Tuning Technology image processor incorporated into the Finecam S5R
adjusts the output level for each RGB color at the analog signal stage before it is
converted into a digital signal. Then the image processor converts it into a digital
signal to provide fine detail that faithfully reproduces the original image.
Thanks to Rapid Tuning Technology, color noise is reduced in 16-bit A/D
calculations. The A/D conversion of analog image information into digital signals is
performed with accuracy of 16 bits internally, and outputted as 12 bits. Since
detailed resolution reduces color noise, which tends to occur in a single color or in
a dark area of an image, it faithfully reproduces subtle darkness and lightness as
well as shade and shadows of color.
Movie Mode
The Finecam S5R enables you to easily shoot movies with
audio at 30 frames/second up to the maximum capacity of
the memory card. The recorded file is in AVI format and
can be played back easily on the “DayFine” LCD monitor, a
television or a personal computer. When the Finecam S5R
is connected to a television, you can watch a movie at
30fps/VGA full screen.

Conveniences
The customized start-up screen allows
the Finecam S5R user to select a favorite
image as the start-up screen. The image
appears whenever the camera is turned
on for a personalized experience.
It is easy to resize captured images with
the Finecam S5R down to 320 x 240 or
160 x 120 pixels after being captured.
This is ideal for emailing images. From
the menu selection, you can select from
three image resize options: whole, quar-
ter and one-sixteenth area. The area to
be resized can be selected via the selec-
tion button. This unique function in
combination with a PDA incorporating
an SD memory card slot, allows you to
easily create an image size suitable for
display.
When it comes to navigating the menus,
the Finecam S5R makes it easy from
setup to capture to playback. To make
it intuitive, the camera offers an easy to
use control button that works on the
principal of a joystick. Along with the
logical screen selections and functions,
the camera is easy for anyone to use.
