Finepix s6000fd software

The Sfd provides the full complement of exposure modes, from fully automatic, to full manual control. On the mode dial you have the following options:.

You can shoot in RAW mode with the camera. The focus system on the camera is also quite capable. At wide angle and normal focus mode, you can focus on subjects between 1. If you zoom all the way in, you can focus as close as 6. If you want to get a little closer, the Macro Mode lets you get has close as 3. An additional Super Macro Mode lets you get as close as 0. A focus assist light helps in low light conditions to get an accurate focus.

The camera has a couple focus modes. As far as auto focus, you can choose single AF, which focuses when you partially depress the shutter button. Continuous AF tries to obtain focus all the time, at the expense of battery life. Continuous AF can come in handy though to decrease the time needed to capture an image with a full press of the shutter.

You can also use manual focus on the camera by using the manual focus ring on the lens. When you press this button, the camera does a quick auto focus and then you can use the manual focus ring to tweak the focus the way you want it.

The LCD also shows which direction you need to turn the focus ring for the subject to be in focus. The Sfd is equipped with a 2 second and 10 second timer.

For continuous shooting, there are several modes. The Top 3 mode captures up to 3 frames at 2. The Final 3 mode captures the last 3 images taken before releasing the shutter button — again at 2. If you use auto ISO, the flash range is 2 ft — At telephoto, the range is 6. We often use ACR to get a more 'honest' indication of the noisiness of camera sensors - it doesn't have the strong NR routines used in-camera or in manufacturers own raw converters. Here, with both Luminance and Chroma noise reduction their defaults, you can see just how noisy the output from the chip is, and just how much work Fuji is doing on the files to produce the final image.

In a new series about composition, landscape and nature photographer Erez Marom develops an idea about viewing compositional elements as masses and lines, and challenges the viewer to determine what the elements of an image are, as an exercise in photographic vision.

Overall, the design of this camera should please photographers, because it mimics how an SLR looks, feels, and responds. Beginning users, on the other hand, might be scared off by its professional appearance, which would be a shame since the Fuji Sfd is very easy to use with lots of helpful, automatic features. No Optical Viewfinder, but a Super Screen. While it may help when bright conditions prevent you from seeing the LCD screen on the back, shooting with an EVF is still not my cup of tea.

If only they could have figured out how to put an optical viewfinder on this baby! Playback on the screen is quite clear, with images rendered accurately. My only gripe is that scrolling is slow when moving through large groups of shots, most likely because the screen's high resolution takes a split second to fully res up. Very Responsive. For a such a feature-packed big camera, the Fuji Sfd was a fairly nimble performer, powering on and ready for first shot in just 1. Shutter lag was also not an issue, able to focus and fire off a shot in 0.

In the full autofocus tele setting, it was even quicker, taking a picture in just 0. When prefocused, it was very fast, with the Fuji Sfd able to capture a shot in 0. A Classic Look. Shot-to-shot the camera lagged slightly however, capturing an image every 1. If you're looking for a fast professional camera, this is definitely an area where you would want to turn to a digital SLR. Adding to the overall responsiveness of the Fujifilm S is its manual zoom ring. Many competing superzoom models have electronic zoom control, which I've always found dodgy at best.

You're confined to how quickly and precisely the camera can react to the pressure you put on the zoom rocker. On compact cameras with just 3x or 4x zoom, this is not usually a problem because there's so little travel to the zoom. On cameras with zooms of 10x and higher, my experience with electronic zoom has been hit or miss, with some cameras zooming too slowly, and several models zooming too loudly.

The manual zoom on the lens barrel of the Fuji Sfd -- which extends the lens as you twist -- was as quiet and quick as I wanted it. A nice throwback that still performs well. The added benefit is the ability to zoom quietly in movie mode.

That subhead says it all for how I felt about image quality on the Fuji Sfd. The Sfd took 1. When shooting raw, the time between shots slowed to 5. Shutter lag measured 0. In the Long Period continuous shooting mode, we were able to capture VGA-sized images at an average of approximately 0. Image quality from the Sfd was good, with well-saturated, accurate colors and tons of fine detail, likely a pleasant side effect of its nice lens.

Fuji likes to tout the dynamic range offered by its Super CCD sensors, and indeed, we saw lots of shadow and highlight detail. For instance, the face of the plush ape in our test scene often plunges into muddy darkness, but the Sfd managed to bring out the texture in this challenging object.

The camera's automatic white balance yielded very warm images with our lab's tungsten lights. The camera's tungsten preset proved much more neutral, though it did show a very slight greenish cast.

The manual white balance we set gave us the most neutral results. The Sfd did an excellent job of balancing its fill flash with the light from the lamp in our test scene. We saw virtually no noise with the Sfd set to ISO , and while we saw a minute amount of noise at ISO when viewing on our monitors, the noise didn't show up in prints.

Though we saw slightly more noise on our monitors at ISO , it still wasn't very noticeable in prints. By ISO , Fuji's noise suppression obviously kicked in, so while noise was kept largely under control, significant amounts of finer detail was lost. At ISO , noise was very noticeable despite noise suppression, though images were still usable if printed at smaller sizes, such as 4x6 inches.

By ISO noise was overwhelming. All finer detail was obliterated and images took on a look similar to a sloppy pointillist painting. Overall, the Fujifilm FinePix Sfd is a capable superzoom. Its biggest drawback is that it doesn't include optical or mechanical image stabilization to make its zoom lens more useful.

Its high ISOs are helpful, but also come with unwanted noise.
