Fujifilm India Pvt. Ltd., has announced the launch and availability of two new “A” Series compact cameras: the A170 and the A220.

Kenichi Tanaka, Managing Director, Fujifilm India, said, “Just because these cameras are affordable, this doesn't mean that compromises have been made on functionality or quality. As with other A series models, the cameras are packed full of the technology you need to take a good picture.  The 10 mega pixel sensor on the A170 and the 12 mega pixel sensor of the A220 produce bright, detailed pictures of extraordinary high resolution and clarity.”


A. Rajkumar, Country General Manager (DSC), Fujifilm India, said, "Both cameras perform well in low light and can shoot at up to ISO 1600.  So if it's dull and dark, the smiles on your friends and families' faces will still dazzle! Remarkably thin at 21.9 mm, the new 10 and 12 mega pixel models are finished with a double coated veneer to impart them outstanding good looks."

The A220 and the A170 both have Scene Recognition AUTO, the first A series models to have this feature. Both the models detect a scene without needing to pre-select the mode on the camera. Fujifilm has developed proprietary technology which intelligently identifies and recognises 6 different scenes – Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Backlit Portrait, Night and Night Portrait.  Once the scene in the frame has been detected, the camera will optimise the settings. Portrait Mode works in conjunction with Face Detection technology to get the best possible results.


Both cameras also feature Fujifilm's Picture Stabilization Mode that enables taking sharper pictures. Operating on two standard AA batteries, both cameras have low power consumption.
