ISO 100-3200
You probably take more pictures than you realise in low light. And low light is exactly what conventional digital compacts can't cope with. They lack the sensitivity (a measure known in photography as ISO), and the consequence is a combination of the blur of slow shutter speeds and the rough-textured look of digital 'noise' (discoloured speckles appearing on the image).
The F30 offers an unsurpassed full-resolution performance of ISO 3200*, meaning that you can shoot with confidence in any light. What's more, the quality available at the lower sensitivities is truly staggering for such a small camera.

Real Photo Technology
Real Photo Technology is a combination of sensor, processor and lens, designed to give Fujifilm's top range of compacts the competitive edge. Not only does Real Photo Technology allow the F30 to reach its impressive ISO 3200 setting, but it also achieves colour accuracy, sharpness and tonal quality that outclass the rest of the class.
Exceptional flash capability
Despite being a camera that can operate without needing to use flash, the F30 Zoom has some impressive abilities in the lighting department. It possesses a 'flash on, flash-off' shooting mode, which takes two pictures in quick succession, enabling you to compare the same scene taken with and without flash. Furthermore, its 'Intelligent Flash' mode exploits the camera's impressive light sensitivity to achieve balanced illumination between foreground subject and the background. No longer will you have to look at photographs of bleached-out people against pitch-black backgrounds.
