If you want to change from its old analog camera into the digital world, will quickly cope with the S3300, because it does not just slays a with a variety, often unnecessary functions, and you can also quickly without much reading the manual simply by functions try. A prerequisite for this is that you first set the menu in German. When the camera first this calls for an automatically on it. Quick to language, date, time etc ... input and then it can go. Although the provided rechargeable battery is not empty, but should nevertheless be only partially charged. An SD card (I recommend times 8 GB or greater - because you can also record video clips [52 sec = 200 MB.]) Should either have or be ordered with it. The camera has a small built-in memory, the only 8 - fit 10 images.
The Kläppchen at the bottom of the battery cover / SD card and USB / charging cable are some getting used to and require a little practice. There is even next to a small tripod thread, which is not common in such tiny plants. So you can move the camera, for example, on a small mini tripod and sometimes come with the self-timer (2 or 10 seconds) on the picture itself.
Behind the display serves as a viewfinder, and after triggering can be seen for a few seconds, the still picture. Another button operates the zoom and a red labeled start or stop a video recording (with sound, of course). Those are actually already all controls you need for recording. Complemented be used to view or adjust the menu by 4 buttons and a Multifuntionsbutton. The menu itself is pretty self-explanatory. There is a short printed Quick Start Guide (28 pages), and a more detailed located on CDR in.
The image quality is not Outrageous but tidy, certainly better than that of most smartphones. Especially in daylight they can score with natural colors. In low light, she has her weaknesses. The built-in auto flash kills the subject often, if you're too close. Since faces are often outshined. More expensive devices fit here the flash to better. Even when shooting outdoors in hazy weather, the flash mode is switched off better, and ensures a calm attitude. Earnings without flash provides, a lot more natural. The image stabilizer is unfortunately matched the price range, so that images on the move, rarely succeed.
The video function is more likely to pay attention to as "addition". Really good this resolution is not, therefore, more likely to use for snapshots or Youtube as a serious holiday film. But who expected the in this price range already?
Speak for the camera:
