Fujifilm SX1600 Long Range Multi-Purpose Camera with 40-1600mm Lens

FUJINON Long Range Multi-Purpose Camera
The fusion of our vast lens manufacturing technology and our cutting edge image processing technology cultivated in our digital cameras has resulted in our new SX camera series.

Wide range of uses

Border and port surveillance, construction site surveillance, etc.
The SX series allows for long range surveillance of many vital areas such as borders, harbors, maritime, airports and vital infrastructure facilities. In addition it is also possible to shoot small and fast moving targets such as drones using the ultra high speed AF.

Detecting disasters such as forest fires, flood, and eruptions
The SX series allows you to take advantage of the telephoto performance to quickly confirm and monitor disasters such as forest fires, flood & eruptions from a safe & remote location. This could prove vital when human lives may be in harms way.

Wind turbine inspection & Transmission line inspection, etc.
Thanks to high operational accuracy the inspection of objects can be made quickly & reliably. Our SX series gives a greater advantage to "visual inspection." This cuts down on man hours and improves safety of employees in some cases.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of the SX, a new image expression
The long range capabilities of the SX series can provide a new expressive style in a wide range of "entertainment" fields such as long-range photography, astronomical observation, sports & sightseeing spots that are limited by conventional cameras.

FUJINON lens technology
Since their development in 1962 FUJINON lenses offer more than a half a century of technological development while earning an Emmy Award for Technology, one of the most prestigious awards given in the broadcast industry. The advanced lens manufacturing technology cultivated in that process is applied to the SX series.

By making full use of precision processing technology that polishes the lens surface with nano-level accuracy. Mechanical design and assembly technology precisely arranges multiple lens groups and incorporates them into housings which produce ultra high definition images that have super telephoto range.

X series superior imaging & processing technology
Fujifilm's X Series digital cameras have provided the path for the way a digital camera should perform in order to achieve the highest image quality without missing a decisive moment. The advanced imaging and processing technology created in this series has been integrated into the SX series.

This combination of technological advancements helps the SX series provide clear images in a wide range of environments required by industrial cameras. Shooting at telephoto ranges often provide challenges such as vibration on high altitude installations and atmospheric conditions such as heat haze or fog. The SX series corrects these conditions in real time using the most advanced correction algorithms and high speed processing engine.

Features

Optical telephoto range 1600mm (with digital zoom up to 3200mm, 160x zoom)
The SX1600 is equipped with a 40x optical zoom lens that covers a broad range of focal lengths from 40mm on the wide angle end to 1600mm on the super-telephoto end. The effective area of the image on the sensor can be extended to 1.1" and widened to 20mm, a focal length similar to that of the SX800. Combined with a digital zoom of up to 2x, this enables a zoom range from a wide angle of 20mm to a telephoto of 3200mm equivalent (160x zoom). When the effective area is extended, higher resolution images over Full HD (1920x1080) can be resized and processed to provide higher quality, clearer images.

High-performance image stabilization
The combination of optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS) helps accurately compensate for image blur caused by the wind or vibration. The SX1600 coordinates and controls these to help compensate for a wider range of vibration frequencies.

Shooting in the dark
The high-sensitivity sensor and high noise reduction effect enable you to shoot clear images with little noise even in low-light shooting environments.

High speed AF system
The "rear focus system" that drives the small-diameter lens in the rear lens group at high speed is adopted, realizing high-speed AF with a minimum autofocus time of about 0.1 seconds. By combining the "image plane phase detection AF" and "contrast AF" methods, it automatically switches to the optimal AF setting.

Fog reduction
Image processing technology compensates for heat haze caused by temperature differences in the air as well as fog caused by water droplets and dust floating in the air. This helps mitigate these atmospheric conditions to help achieve clearer images. The built-in visible cut filter "black glass" makes it possible to shoot with near-infrared light that travels in a straight line so you can achieve better images in the most challenging environments.
