The Fuji A800 is a compact and lightweight eight megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom. It runs on two AA batteries, and has 19 different picture modes, including an image stabilization mode, to assure that you get a good shot. The limited ISO range means that you need to be creative when shooting in low light, but the camera does have limited exposure compensation modes. The A800 was introduced in March 2007.
Instructions
1. Turn on the camera and press menu, then use the up/down arrows to scroll the quality and select "F," for fine, which is the highest picture quality setting.
2. Turn the mode dial on the upper right side of the camera to "SP" or scene position and press menu to access the scene modes.
3. Choose one of the 19 scene modes to tell the camera what type of shot you are taking and have it adjust the settings for you. The A800 offers modes for baby mode, red eye reduction, picture stabilization, portrait, landscape, sport, night, natural light, beach, snow, fireworks, sunset, underwater, flower, party, museum, text, manual and macro.
