FUJIFILM SX1600Featuring the world’s longest 1600mm telephoto lens and 40x optical zoom, it can be used in a wide variety of applications including surveillance and inspections. Instantly capture a sharp image of a target subject thanks to the newly developed image stabilization system and fast and accurate AF. The April 12ththe device will officially join the range of long-range cameras with integrated lens of the SX Series.

FUJIFILM SX1600, the long-range camera for long-distance surveillance

FUJIFILM SX1600 it is a long range camera equipped with a FUJINON lens. has one zoom 40x covering a range of focal lengths from the wide angle of 40mm to the world’s longest telephoto focal length of 1600mm. It features a newly developed image stabilization system. But also fast and accurate AF to capture a distant subject clearly and instantly. It can be used for a wide range of applications including international border controls, port surveillance and remote inspection of large infrastructures.

Long range cameras are used in long distance surveillance applications on international borders, in ports, airports, etc. Furthermore, they are starting to be used for remote inspection purposes, considering the shortage of workers in surveillance services for outdated public infrastructure.

Fujifilm has developed its own optical technology and image processing technology in parallel over many years. Up to market from 2019 the SX series of long-range cameras with integrated lens.

With the FUJIFILM SX800’s 40x optical zoom covering the focal length range from 20mm to 800mm. By integrating it into an IP-controllable all-weather swivel base and dedicated video management software, today the company satisfies a wide variety of needs, from surveillance to inspections.

The new SX1600 is a long-range camera with an integrated lens that supports the effective image size of 1/1.8” and boasts twice the focal length of the SX800, from 40mm wide angle to the world’s longest 1600mm telephoto lens. The use of a newly developed sensor control technology expands the effective image size and extends the focal length to the equivalent of 20mm.

Digital zoom

Also, you can apply one digital zoom up to 2x to achieve the equivalent focal length of 3200mm. This means that the camera offers a 160x zoom covering focal lengths from 20mm to 3200mm, capable of capturing the license plate of a car approximately 1.6km away or even a person standing approximately 3.5km away. km away.

SX1600 is equipped with a newly developed image stabilization system that enables the cooperative control of optical stabilization (OIS) and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) to accurately correct image shake.

Equipped with High-precision AF and high-speed to achieve focus in just 0.1 second and with the excellent fog and heat haze reduction function, the SX1600 can instantly capture the target subject and record it with incredible clarity.

Fujifilm will continue to develop innovative products that meet the needs of customers and markets, using proprietary optical technology matured through the development of various types of optics, including compatible 4K/8K broadcast lenses and cinema camera lenses, as well as processing technology image quality adopted by GFX and X-Series digital cameras.

Main features of the FUJIFILM SX1600 camera

  • Equipped with an ultra-telephoto zoom lens with 40x optical zoom and the world’s longest 1600mm telephoto focal length.
  • This is a long range camera integrated with the lens supporting 1/1.8” effective image size. It features an ultra-telephoto zoom lens that offers 40x optical zoom and covers the focal length range from 40mm wide angle to the world’s longest 1600mm telephoto.
  • New sensor control technology expands the effective image size from 1/1.8” to 1.1”, achieving a focal length equivalent to 20mm. When combined with up to 2x digital zoom, the camera can pan to the equivalent focal length of 3200 and thus achieves the performance of the 160x zoom system covering the equivalent focal length from 20mm to 3200mm.
  • At an effective image size of 1.1”, Full HD video is generated from a data volume equivalent to 4K, thus ensuring a sharp, high-quality result.
    • Newly developed high-performance image stabilization system for advanced shake control
    • The SX1600 is equipped with a newly developed image stabilization system that enables cooperative control of optical image stabilization (OIS) and electronic image stabilization (EIS). The angle of correction has been expanded by up to 1.5 times compared to the SX800, so that the camera can be used with complete peace of mind even for long-distance shooting, where strong vibrations are more likely to occur due to the platform and wind vibrations.
