Fuji Finepix Tutorial

Fuji Finepix J10


The Fuji Finepix line of cameras is a very popular group of digital cameras designed primarily for the consumer market. While each one of the Fuji Finepix cameras possesses its own unique attributes, there are a few controls and operations that remain constant on all the cameras in the line.


Scene Modes


Use the scene modes. Fuji Finepix cameras come with a variety of built-in scene modes to help assist you in taking pictures under different conditions. The scene modes, which are accessed either through a small wheel on top of the camera or through the camera's menu, will automatically change the camera's settings to be optimal for the particular situation you're shooting in. Available modes vary from model to model but typically include sports, fireworks, portrait, night, and sand and snow.


Autofocus


Use the autofocus on Fuji Finepix cameras to take great pictures. All the Finepix cameras have an autofocus built in. To use the autofocus, hold the shutter button down halfway. Once your subject is in focus, press the shutter button down the remainder of the way to take a picture.


Turn Off the Digital Zoom


Unlike traditional cameras, digital pictures are made up of thousands of tiny dots called pixels. While the optical zoom on your Finepix camera uses the lens to get closer to your subject, the digital zoom merely enlarges those individual pixels, often making your pictures look blurry or out of focus as the individual pixels become more noticeable. Go into the settings menu and turn the digital zoom off to get the best quality from your pictures.
