Featuring a 6.3 megapixel Super CCD HR imager effect inculcate of the 5.1 megapixel sensor used notoriety the previous Z3 model, the Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd retains the congener us Fujinon 3x optical surge lens and vastly the analogous styling in that its predecessor. Another important alter fix the Fuji FinePix Z5fd is the adjunct of the company's Face Detection functionality, top practical influence the FinePix S6000fd model. Achieved with a hot LSI bite power the camera, the feature can detect up to ten faces in the photo simultaneously, with Fujifilm rating the feature as capable of achieving this in just 1/20th of a second.

With the feature enabled, the camera indicates the faces detected in the scene by framing them with rectangles in the display - white for all but the top priority face, which is framed in green. The locations of faces are then used by the Fuji Z5fd to confirm the appropriate location for focus and exposure detection, so as to ensure that your subject is correctly focused even when off center. In Playback mode, the feature can be cleverly used to automatically zoom images to the primary face in an image (for confirmation of pose, focus, etc.), and can also be used to automatically crop a shot for optimum portrait framing. The face detection functionality can be disabled, as desired.

On boon of the facade detection feature, the built-in storage retentiveness supremacy the Fuji FinePix Z5fd is further than doubled over compared to the Z3, from 10MB to 26MB (and is of adventure motionless supplemented with xD-Picture Card storage). One particular royal change is that the minimum ISO sensitivity is now 100, rather than ISO 64 as in the FinePix Z3. The digital zoom has also increased in strength slightly to a maximum of 6.2x (was 5.7x), and a couple of new modes have been added - blog mode (which allows creation of a reduced size duplicate image in playback mode), and dual-shot mode (which captures two images in succession, with and without the built-in flash firing). The press release also very briefly mentions infra-red connectivity, dubbed "IR Simple". While camera size is almost identical to the Z3, the Fuji Z5fd is just a few grams heavier than that camera.
