Camera Overview — Fujifilm FinePix IS-1

The Fujifilm FinePix IS-1 is a specialized point-and-shoot style camera built on a 1/1.7-inch sensor with 9MP resolution, powered by Fujifilm's proprietary Super CCD HR imaging processor. Designed for niche imaging applications, it offers an ISO range of 80 to 1600 and captures stills at a maximum resolution of 3488x2616 pixels. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with a single focus point, keeping things straightforward for deliberate, methodical shooting scenarios.

For video, the IS-1 tops out at 640x480 resolution at up to 30fps, recorded in 8-bit color with sRGB color profile support. Image stabilization is handled digitally rather than optically or in-body. The camera features both a 2.0-inch TFT LCD display and an electronic viewfinder, each resolving 235,000 dots, giving shooters two framing options in the field.

Storage is via CompactFlash cards, and the camera draws power from four AA batteries — rated for approximately 300 shots on alkaline or 500 shots on NiMH cells, making it easy to keep powered anywhere. The body is constructed from plastic with a metal chassis, measuring 128 x 93 x 129 mm and weighing 750g. A built-in pop-up flash and hot shoe for external flash units round out the feature set.

No weather sealing is present, and there is no WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity.
