At the heart of the FinePix F500EXR is a revolutionary 16-megapixel sensor and a brand-new EXR image processor. Together they deliver photographic images measuring up to 4608x3456 pixels that are packed with detail, tone and colour. Or why not complete the story with Full-HD video at 1080p resolution?
New electronic architecture delivers finer resolution, lower noise and a wider dynamic range. The FinePix F500EXR is a camera that will perform in any situation, recording your memories in great-quality images.
EXR technology: three steps to better image quality
An EXR sensor is special. From the way that pixels are arranged on its surface to the newly developed high-speed electronics that transport data to the processor.
Unique EXR pixel pattern
Compared to conventional digital-camera sensors, the array of red, green and blue pixels in an EXR sensor is rotated by 45˚. This increases horizontal and vertical resolution, for extra fine detail, and enables switching into other sensor modes to broaden dynamic range and increase low-light sensitivity.
High-resolution (HR)
In bright conditions the FinePix F500EXR’s sensor uses its full 16-megapixel resolution to capture every last detail projected onto it by the high-quality Fujinon lens. Even the smallest details are reproduced accurately and colours are bright and vivid.
Wide dynamic range (DR)
In wide dynamic range mode (DR) the FinePix F500EXR takes two exposures – one exposed for highlights, the other for shadows – and combines them to give a single 8-megapixel image that retains detail in both areas.
High sensitivity, low noise (SN)
In SN mode sensitivity to light is increased, giving you the opportunity to shoot hand-held in dim conditions without the need for long shutter speeds or flash. EXR technology means that digital noise is minimised and image quality is preserved.
The CMOS advantage
The faster electronics of a CMOS sensor sensor give the FinePix F500 a speed boost over digital cameras using CCD sensors. This means faster frame rates when shooting continuously, and the ability to shoot video clips at Full-HD and 30fps.
EXR Processor
Complementing the FinePix F500EXR's processor is a brand new EXR image processor. Alongside processing image data the EXR processor also controls all aspects of the camera's operation, from autofocus and exposure metering to the graphical user interface (GUI) used to navigate the camera’s menu options.
Dual CPUs and a reconfigurable processor work alongside the core electronics. A dedicated vector graphics processor improves the quality of the GUI, making the F500EXR a joy to use.
Image stabilisation
The F500EXR detects any vibrations and moves the sensor by tiny increments to counteracts them. Perfect for long-lens shooting, or photography in low light where camera shake can spoil images.
Dual-image stabilisation: sensor shift and ISO boost
Small movements from the photographer when hand holding a camera at long shutter speeds or telephoto zoom settings can result in blur – an effect known as camera shake. The F500EXR tackles camera shake with its dual image stabilisation system: sensors detect vibrations and move the sensor slightly in response to counteract any effect on image quality. An automatic boost in ISO sensitivity keeps shutter speeds high, avoiding the effect of motion blur in the first place.
High-speed autofocus
The Fuji FinePix F500EXR’s autofocus locks on swiftly and accurately. No more missed opportunities while you wait for your camera to focus.
High-speed shooting functions
Keep up with the action and never miss that decisive moment with the FinePix F500’s range of high speed continuous shooting features.
High-speed continuous shooting
Shoot full resolution 16-megapixel still images at 3fps for up to three frames. Or shoot at 12fps for up to 32 frames by decreasing the resolution to 4 megapixels.
High Speed Movie
With High Speed Movie you’ll be able to shoot fast-moving subjects at incredible frame rates – up to 320fps, in fact! Watch every minute detail in glorious slow motion.
- * High Speed Movie can be recorded at the following speeds and sizes: 320fps (320 x 112 pixels), 160fps (320 x 240 pixels), 80fps (VGA 640 x 480 pixels).
Super Intelligent Flash
Enjoy even flash exposure throughout the frame, even at the edges. Fuji’s Super Intelligent Flash system ensures pictures taken with flash are not over exposed or ‘washed out’, even when shooting close-up in macro mode.
27 scene modes, and EXR Auto
Let the FinePix F500 pick the correct camera settings and sensor mode by analysing each scene as you are composing it. Free yourself from the technical side of photography and enjoy taking pictures.
Advanced scene recognition
When analysing a composition the FinePix F500EXR first decides which of ten basic types of scene your subject falls into. It then looks for the presence of faces and decides how much light is available, optimising exposure, white balance, focus, saturation, and tonality accordingly.
This data is recorded in the image files, and can be used to find files quickly by scene type with the F500EXR’s search facility.
Three sensors; one camera
One of the unique properties of the EXR sensor is its ability to work in one of three distinct modes: High resolution (HR), high sensitivity/low noise (SN) and wide dynamic range (DR).
In HR mode all of the 16-megapixel resolution goes towards capturing as much detail as possible. SN mode kicks in when light levels get low: pixels are combined to make 8-million double size photosites that capture more light. In high-contrast conditions DR mode combines two exposures (one for highlights, the other for shadows) into a single 8-megapixel image.
15x optical zoom
Equivalent to a 24-360mm zoom on a full-frame camera, a 15x optical zoom provides wide angles of view for landscapes and street photography, as well as telephoto settings for wildlife, sport and action.
A 15x optical zoom gives the FinePix F500EXR the equivalent view to a 24-360mm zoom on a full-frame DSLR – though at a fraction of the size and weight. Perfect for those who don't want to compromise on features but are looking for a lightweight camera to travel with.
At its most wide-angle 24mm setting the F500EXR takes in much more than many other cameras at their widest zoom setting – great for shooting interiors and group shots when space is limited, or sweeping landscapes and big skies.
When zoomed in you’ll find yourself close to the action, and shooting with a flattering telephoto perspective.
Superb optical performance
The F500EXR’s zoom lens isn’t just convenient, it’s a great performer too. Cutting-edge optical design and construction techniques mean images are sharp from edge to edge. Distortion at wide angles is reduced and optical coatings reduce flare and ghosting caused by light reflecting between the rear lens element and the sensor.
Extra-low dispersion (ED) glass lens
Chromatic aberrations – which commonly appear as coloured fringing around high-contrast edges – are a common problem in digital photography, but not for the F500EXR. The extra-low dispersion glass used in the camera’s lens tackles the problem head-on, as well as boosting colour saturation and sharpness.
Space-saving design
A double-structured lens design allows Fuji's engineers to squeeze a 15x optical zoom into a compact camera body that you'll never want to leave behind. No fewer than 12 glass elements slide smoothly into position as you zoom from wide-angle to telephoto with a flick of a switch
Full-HD movies
Capture video footage at 1080p resolution, along with stereo sound, using the same camera you use for still photography. Use stills and video to tell a complete story.
The FinePix F500EXR is at home capturing video as it is shooting still images. What’s more it can do both in high-definition 16:9 format – perfect for playing back on your home HDTV, or editing together into a full-length movie on your home PC or Mac
The FinePix F500EXR uses all of its high sensitivity technology to shoot crisp, colourful HD video, even in dim light. Movies are captured at 1080p resolution and 30fps with stunning digital stereo sound.
H.264 file format
The FinePix F500 EXR uses the H.264 file format to save video footage. Quality is preserved while the size of movies files is drastically reduced.
Film simulation modes
Choose between ASTIA for accurate skin tones, Velvia for bold colours, and PROVIA for good all-round performance.
One-touch movie button
One-touch video capture means you can shoot movie clips with just a single press, even when the camera is shooting stills
Built-in social networking
Tag your favourite images and movie clips in-camera and they’ll be uploaded for you to Facebook or YouTube when you next connect your camera to your home computer
Built-in picture editing
Rank your images by awarding them a star rating between one and five. You'll be able to search later for those pictures you like the most - both in-camera and on your PC or Mac.
Photobook Assist
Printed photobooks are a great way to collect memories of that special trip, or just show off your photographic creations to friends and family. Begin your photobook right in the camera with the FinePix F500's Photobook Assist feature.
Create a Photobook folder where photobook-tagged images will be stored and organised. When you connect the camera to a PC running My FinePix Studio you'll be able to create and order a photobook on line in moments. Or why not take your camera into your local high street minilab to order a photobook in store?

Motion Panorama 360
Shoot stunning panoramic images by simply pressing the F500EXR’s shutter button then sweeping the camera around in a circle. A single long, thin image is created from the view that is recorded, and saved to memory card as a conventional JPEG file. Angles of view up to 360˚ can be covered.
Advanced multi-frame functions
Pro Focus Mode with Face Detection
Pro Focus mode emulates the shallow depth of field of a DSLR camera – great for isolating subjects like portraits and macro subjects against a blurred soft background. A single press of the shutter button first takes an exposure that is correctly focussed on the subject, followed by additional exposures at different focus points. The result: a sharp subject against a blurred background.
*1 There must be sufficient distance between the subject and the background for this function to work properly.
*2 Except for subjects where focus bracketing is unable to produce sufficient defocus
