I got this digital camera as a present not that long ago and have not been disappointed since. I have used it on holiday and at home and it proved a great product.
MAIN SPECIFICATIONS
Name-Fujifilm Finepix F30 Megapixels-6.3 Screen Size-2.5 inch Dimensions-9.1 x 2.8 x 5.6cm, 155g ISO-Up to 3200 Video Capture-Yes Optical Zoom-3x Digital Zoom-6x Internal Memory-Not large get an xd card
FEATURES IN DEPTH
This camera comes with many modes accessable via a rolling wheel on top of the device. The first I would like to mention is the automatic function. If you are not looking to tweak your settings and wish to just take quick snaps then this is the function for you. It automatically selects all the settings for you and you just point and shoot.
Next in ease of use is the anti-shake mode. This ensures your pictures do not blur because of camera movement and has worked quite well when I have used it.
After this there is manual mode where more of the settings are available. You can select ISO for different levels of sensitivity-this camera has excellent sensitivity for low light; forced flash, supressed flash, red eye removal; megapixels-6,5,4 etc. ; colour, black and white, chrome; whether to shoot ccontinuously using the first 3 pictures, last 3 or just plain continuous; high-speed shooting; and close-up settings.
Following, there is the natural light or scene position mode allowning you to shoot for a natural feel or letting you select landscape mode, text mode, beach mode and many more for better automatic settings in different scenery.
Penultimately there is a mode where you can select aperture or shutter speed settings from 3 settings to 1/1000 sceond...
...and finally, the video mode shooting movies
LAYOUT OF BUTTONS
The buttons on this great camera fall right under the fingers where you want them with zoom easily controllable by the thumb when shooting and other buttons for menus and displays also thumb controllable before or after taking a shot. The shooting button is in the usual place obviously since this is the best place for it.
OTHER USEFUL FUNCTIONS
There is also a timer mode on the F30 for counting down 2 or 10 seconds before taking a shot and after taking a photo this camera has useful on-screen editing functions like cropping, voice memo, protection to avoid deletion, image rotation and copying between the xd card and internal memory.
OTHER ALL ROUND THINGS
This cameras battery lasts well and has never run out at a bad time for me and the device is supplied with a charging cable, a USB connector and A/V out cable for viewing pictures on a TV.
USE WITH COMPUTER
The FInepix F30 comes with a free program for the computer to copy pictures from the cameras internal memory or a purchased xd card. This program edits the pictures as well. The camera connects to the computer via a USB connector. When pictures have been copied over, you can edit them as you wish- removing red eye, improving sharpness, cropping, rotating etc.
Other programs I would recommend for editing the photos are Adobe's PaintShop Pro Studio and Paintshop Photo Album. These offer an expert range of editing tools for the fine details and effects you may want to apply to your photos.
FINALLY
This camera has won best camera awards and you will not be disappointed. It is well worth the money you spend on it and I thoroughly recommend it.
