fujifilm f31fd face-detecting digital camera

Fujifilm's F31fd is the company's first compact digital camera equipped with the ability to spot faces in the frame [1] then to focus in on them and set the right exposure accordingly. The gadget can cope with up to ten mugs at once, the company claimed. It's got anti-blur technology built in too, and is ready for low-light conditions with a sensitivity rating of ISO 3200. Pictures are snapped on a six megapixel sensor through the 3x optical zoom lens then displayed on the F31fd's 2.5in LCD. Fujifilm claims a battery life of 580 shots. The F31fd ships in November. ®
