A glance at the display then says something. It is integrated and does not swivel and is 3 inches, although a good size, but the resolution of only 230,000 pixels but somewhat unclear. I find now not so bad, you can see everything well and in the end it comes down to the result.
An optical viewfinder, it has not, what I miss, especially in summer when very bright light.
The Fujifilm is not only for beginners, but also well suited. It has an Intelligent Auto that performs all of the settings independently and bring really good results.
But for the more ambitious photographer she also offers a full range of manual controls that are needed for good photos.
The command dial on top of the camera offers the classic PSAM arrangement above can be the automatic or manual programs set. A private program mode can be storing. For more detailed settings in each program you have to go to the menu, however, the button is on the back. This is something fimmelig a knurled wheel for easier and faster navigation lacks.
The flash will fire only when it is opened.
With a shutter lag of just 2-3 seconds it is not Snapshot Suitable for me. Those who want to mainly children or animals photograph who wants the camera ready quickly. Although the results are really well exposed and sharp-knack, it simply takes too long for spontaneous snapshots.
Takes you (without flash), zoom series, 3D (2 shots each with manual release), text, macro, party, beach, landscape, snow, sunset, sports and night with shooting modes like Portrait, Smile Detection, Baby mode. In macro mode you can take up to 1 cm to the subject, as you can see then, the last flowers grain in the flower bed.
You have the possibility of continuous shots (here it creates 1.2 to 8 frames per second, depending on the resolution), self-timer, white balance settings, ISO sensitivity and the brightness measurement select a scene.
Anyone who wants to can play around with it, but it does not.
In the Panorama shooting mode 3 consecutive shots to chain together.
The large zoom has a large lens, so the handle fits well in its entire design. For the right thumb there is a dimpled recess on the menu wheel, the and the rubber of the handle ensure a good grip when taking pictures. Whether this size no longer fits the camera naturally in shirt or trouser pocket, but requires backpack or own pocket.
The 30x optical zoom lets the hackles of sparrow on the steeple recognize. When fully occupied zoom the lens has a thickness of 720mm, since the built-in image stabilizer helps nothing. A tripod or a wall should be used because, otherwise blurred everything.
The photosensitivity with F3.1 to f5,9 is average and just fine.
The ISO-areas (sensitivity to light) can be adjusted 64-6400, the automatic knippst with ISO 400. The images are stored in JPEG format on a memory card not included. The lossless RAW format is not available.
Beside the low screen there is the low price even in chromatic aberrations again. These are colorful fringing / gradients at the edges darker Objekter in the picture. The love occur when photographed from the shadows into the light and dark objects in the foreground (eg tree in the foreground and the real motive in the bright background). These irritations can be seen, although only at high magnification and a close look and they can also be while eliminating rework, but they are there. The typical holiday- and leisure photographers they will not interfere, because in the normal photo for the album or photobook these margins can not be identified. These aberrations are not on appearance but on the sensor.
Of course you can also shoot and she films HD video !! And during filming, you can also zoom! I've been through much worse in other cameras in this price segment. Photos can not do, however, during filming.
Your power she gets on 4 AA batteries. Is environmental technically a disadvantage, but has the advantage that you can get anywhere easily spare batteries.
Conclusion: A camera with a lot of zoom and many configuration options, which is very interesting especially due to their price.
