Photo Glossaries - EXR

10/11/2012 7:45 PM

I purchased a FUJIFILM HS25 EXR camera to try out, and maybe keep. (I had been looking at dSLRs for their lens interchangeability and 35mm/2x3....4x6-prints-without-crop-loss capability. But with 30/60 zoom, optically derived 2x3/4x6 imaging/printing (without image "squeeze"), CMOS, day and night ZLR viewfinder aiming-plus overhead and shoot-from-chest (DLR emulation!) pointing, the Fujifilm HS25, as a dSLR emulator seems to provide sufficiently similar capabilities and cost benefits at a substantially better price. Now for the question...

I have tried, unsuccessfully so far, to find out the actual meaning of those 3 "letters" in its brand, EXR, as pertains to the FUJIFILM's "EXR" shooting modes and/or to its sensor.

Being a Tokyo based product, the usual, ad-speak meaning of X does not seem likely. But what else besides "you know" is there for just x, especially just capital X, to stand for?

Then, thinking more Orient-elligently, X as an upper case word (not letter) surfaced as a possibility: as in X as the word "times" or "cross product." But the only thing I could derived from that sort of EXR (and yes...complete with double entendre) is "Exposure Times [or Cross] Resolution--but that seems, well, a little obvious?

So what I am hoping, is that genuine camera aficionados on this site can reveal actual, official (or at least unimpeachable) identity of those letter words: E, X, and R.

Thank you.

I don't know what the X stand for.

The 16 Mb sensor produces 4608 pixels by 3456 pixels.

This means at 300 DPI (dots per inch) you can print up to 15.4" wide.

If you use the digital zoom you can zoom (or crop is the better word) 2.5 times before the resolution suffers on a 4" by 6" print. However, the digital zoom has a maximum of 2X on this camera, which means that even with maximum digital zoom you will still be able to print at 384 DPI on a 4" by 6" print.
