Six megapixel, user-friendly addition to Fujifilm's ultra-smart 'F' range of digital cameras
Fujifilm today announced the launch of the FinePix F470 Zoom – a pocket-sized, silver compact with user-friendly controls and multiple scene positions for ultimate ease-of-use. Hidden within this camera's individual body design are 16MB of internal memory, a 3x optical zoom lens and a sensor delivering six megapixels. Combining strength and elegance in a neat package, the FinePix F470 Zoom is both stylish and functional, and perfect for anyone new to digital photography.
This chic compact, only 19.7mm thick, has a distinctive appearance thanks to its innovative design. Incorporating a raised side grip that sits comfortably in the palm of the hand, the FinePix F470 Zoom allows the user to hold it securely, without compromising the slimline look of the camera's stylish body.
The FinePix F470 Zoom is also host to a high resolution, extremely clear 2.5" LCD screen for framing and viewing shots. Furthermore, the FinePix F470 Zoom comes with a TV-quality VGA movie mode that can capture up to 30 frames per second with sound.
Equipped to handle a variety of shooting conditions, this easy-to-operate camera allows users to select from ten automatic scene settings. These include a 'Sunset mode' to emphasis vivid colours, a 'Beach and Snow mode' for minimising glare in bright situations, and a 'Party mode' for indoor settings, allowing images to retain the natural ambience of the scene in low-light conditions.
