The Fujifilm Natura S is a 35mm auto focus compact camera designed by Fujifilm. This camera was only available in the Japanese market; so the settings printed beside the LCD are in Japanese only. The camera was designed for photography using natural light, although it does include an electronic flash. To accomplish this, the camera is fitted with a fast, very wide angle f/1.9 lens. (The tradeoff is that this lens does not zoom, unlike the other Fujifilm Natura models.) The camera at only 37mm thick, can barely fit the the lens. The back element of the lens fills the entire 35mm frame area, it also sits extremely close to the film, almost touching.
This camera was designed to use a special Natura film, which was a 1600-ISO color film, in what Fuji called NP mode. The NP mode can be used with other types of 1600 ISO or 800 ISO films, in colour or black and white. NP mode was designed to automatically compensate exposure when using faster films. Many situations that ordinarily require flash can be photographed without it when using the Natura and a high-ISO film in NP mode. The camera was offered in pastel colours: aqua, pink and purple. A special Black Edition of the camera is also available, having minor design difference like a vertical Natura emblem and a small patch of leather for a grip.
