The device itself is compact — 1.1 pounds and 3.2 by 3 by 5.1 inches, but with a 2.7-inch screen that has a wide angle view.
Among other things, the size difference alters the angle of view of the lenses so that a lens that offers a wide angle view when attached to a film camera gives a normal perspective on a digital.
The grabbed images provide meaningful identification imagery of distant targets which are not recognizable in a wide angle view.
The equatorial visible/infrared Wide Angle Viewing System (WAVS) is one of the ITER key diagnostics for machine protection.
A pinprick in a false wall has a fish-eye lens on the reverse side, offering a remarkably wide angle view into a neighbouring room.
Combining a 12-MegaPixel, 8th Generation Super CCD with a powerful Fujinon 5.0x wide angle optical zoom lens and a 2.7" high-resolution 230,000 pixel wide angle view LCD, the FinePix F100fd is among Fujifilm's finest compact digital cameras.
The Equatorial Visible/Infra-Red Wide Angle Viewing System (WAVS) is one of the ITER key diagnostics owing to its role in machine investment protection through the monitoring of Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) by Infra-Red thermography and visible imaging.
