Fujifilm Finepix F410

Fujifilm Finepix F410 ... xD-Picture Card, xD Type H, xD Type M / Entirely clad in metal, the FinePix F410 features a sleek, compact, stylishly square body, weighing a mere 195 grams. Its contours fit naturally in your hands, and the controls make it easy to operate with just one hand. Especially notable is the unique power switch: simply pull the sliding grip away from the lens. With a flash of blue lights, the camera instantly turns on.

Compact as it may be, the F410 packs serious optical performance: an f/2.8 Fujinon 35 zoom lens, equivalent to 38-114 mm on a 35mm camera. A smooth digital zooming function offers up to 4.45 additional magnification.

The FinePix F410 features the Photo Mode button, an entirely new concept in digital camera operation. This gives you one-button control over image quality parameters, including sensitivity (Auto/Manual, selectable from ISO equivalent 200, 400, and 800 at Manual setting), image file size, and color mode (Standard, Chrome, and B&W). The Chrome color setting, for example, slightly boosts contrast and saturation for a look that resembles color slide film. When reviewing images, this control can also be used to set DPOF for printing.

The FinePix F410 offers impressive shooting flexibility, with a range of ISO-equivalent sensitivities from 200 to 800. The higher settings enable outstanding fast-action and available-light photography, as well as helping to eliminate camera shake.

Turn on the FinePix F410 and in an instant the lens extends and the camera is ready to shoot. Precise autofocus, intelligent auto exposure, and auto white balance systems assure perfect shots indoors or out, even in low light. Major controls begin with one-touch buttons and the LCD display on the rear panel. You'll enjoy using the graphical user interface, with its clear on-screen menus that make it easy to access any features you need. Manual mode permits adjustment of white balance (7 positions), exposure compensation (-2.1 EV to +1.5 EV in 0.3 EV increments), and sensitivity (ISO 200, 400, and 800).

The FinePix F410 gives you a choice of two continuous shooting modes. With Top-4 Continuous Shooting, you can take up to four shots at intervals of 0.3 seconds. With Final-4 Continuous Shooting, the camera takes up to 25 shots at 0.3-second intervals, saving the last four the instant you release the shutter button.

The FinePix F410 lets you take QVGA-sized movies with sound (320 x 240 pixels, 10 frames/second) of up to 120 seconds long. There's also a convenient Voice Memo feature, so you can attach a sound file of up to 30 seconds to each captured image.

Playback mode allows you to review captured still images and video clips on the high-resolution 1.5-inch low-temperature polysilicon (TFT) LCD monitor. You can choose from a wide range of playback features, including Single frame with convenient 17.65 playback zoom, and 9 Multi-frame.

The FinePix F410 utilizes a rechargeable lithium- ion battery. A single charge will typically give you about 240 shots with LCD turned on, or about 550 shots with the LCD off.

The FinePix F410 is designed around the xD-Picture Card, the new standard in ultra-compact digital storage media. With the compatible USB card reader and PC/Compact Flash card adapters, xD-Picture Card can be swapped freely among a wide range of digital cameras, computers, and other devices.
