Battery

Inserting a Memory Card C Cautions Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card. Format SD memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 89. Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical assistance immediately. Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card. Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction. Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD memory card. The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory. Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

B Tip: The Camera Clock If the battery is removed for an extended period, the camera clock will be reset and the languageselection dialog will be displayed when the camera is turned on. If the battery is left in the camera or an optional AC adapter connected for about four days, the battery can be removed for about seven days without resetting clock, language selection, or power management options.

Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR digital camera
Does a three-way sensor mean three times the fun?
by Gavin Stoker published on 20 October 2009
Joining Fujifilm's current F200EXR and S200EXR models comes an attractive, largely metal build, pocket compact incorporating the same innovative "switchable" Super CCD EXR sensor and, for the first time in the series, marrying it to a 10x optical zoom (27-270mm equivalent in 35mm terms). It does this whilst maintaining a depth of a relatively slender-for-the-spec 22.7mm, and all for a price that, on initial inspection, suggests very good value. Aimed, apparently, at "the gadget lover who likes to be in control", as we noted in our review of the DSLR-styled S200EXR, Fujifilm's unique EXR sensor technology allows the user to utilise the F70EXR's chip in three different ways. To kick off, photographers can shoot maximum resolution JPEGs - here 10 effective megapixels - or, secondly, capture images with increased dynamic range. The camera does this by taking two shots in quick succession - one at a high ISO (light sensitivity) setting, the other at a low ISO setting combining them as a single 5 megapixel image. The third user-selectable EXR option aims for high sensitivity but low noise; achieved by coupling together same colour pixels to achieve larger light gathering pixels. Again final resolution is 5 megapixels. Can't decide which setting best suits? Well, in addition there's an auto EXR option that allows for point-and-shoot operation, the camera comparing the scene before it with six pre -programmed settings and deciding which EXR mode fits. Like rival intelligent auto modes, Fujifilm's offering gets it right most of the time, allowing the user to concentrate on subject rather than settings if so desired. Anti-shake is offered in the form of CCD shift to cancel out any effects of hand wobble shooting in low light or maximum zoom.

With the camera powering up in 2 seconds, in the main, the F70EXR's buttons and controls are of a decent size and similarly responsive, though we found the zoom lever a tad loose. Images are composed via an adequate 2.7-inch, 230k dot resolution LCD monitor at the rear, while EXR and regular auto shooting modes are selected via a dime-sized mode wheel set into the top right hand corner of the camera's back plate, where it naturally falls under the thumb. Other options include the more regular program AE and manual modes, plus video capture (disappointingly at a standard definition 640 x 480 pixels, whereas HD would have really helped this camera to shine), scene modes (including pro focus and pro low light modes alongside the regular pre-optimised beach, snow and firework settings), along with Fujifilm's separate natural light and natural light with flash modes. Take a shot and the camera commits a full resolution image to memory - here a 47MB internal cache or removable SH/SDHC media - in less than 2 seconds. Worth singling out for further attention are those pro focus and pro light options, as Fujifilm is claiming the F70EXR can deliver a "DSLR-like" performance in these modes. The first is, effectively, a focus bracketing mode that takes several images and combines them into a single shot to deliver a shallow depth of field effect, blurring distracting background detail and therefore making it best suited to portraits. To get it to work properly you need both subject and camera to stay completely still, therefore use of a steady surface or tripod is a must. Ditto when selecting pro low light mode, which itself combines four frames taken at high ISO. As on the S200EXR, helping the F70EXR to stand further apart from the pack - and make the most of its manufacturer's analogue heritage - are additional eccentricities such a trio of film simulation modes located by pressing the quick

.cont. -access "F" (for "Foto") at the rear, as are the essentials of image quality and ISO settings here up to a whopping ISO 12800 equivalent on offer. With an identical range of offerings to its sibling, F70EXR photographers can aim to match the look of shooting with the naturalistic Provia (the camera's default setting), the warmer, flattering Velvia, or smoother, softer Astia film (Slightly wishy-washy for our tastes), plus more commonly found black and white or sepia colour effect options. Use of the F70EXR will be intuitive for anyone who has previously handled a Fujifilm compact there are many common family traits - whilst, for new converts, point and shoot operation will ease them in gently. To our eyes, images straight out of the camera were naturally coloured if a little flat looking when left on default Provia setting. We welcomed the in -camera Velvia setting therefore for capturing the first colours of autumn. If, inevitably, the lower resolution shots look a little soft and almost painterly in comparison when downloaded and viewed on the desktop, a subtle application of Unsharp Mask in Photoshop can add the missing crispness. Shooting at top ISO 12800 equivalent setting similarly delivers results more closely resembling a watercolour than photograph, but that said cheaper digital compacts deliver comparable results at a much lower ISO 1600. On this Fujifilm, users can shoot up to that ISO 1600 setting with surprisingly minimal amounts of noise. Plus you have all the additional features to tailor your images in camera we've already outlined.

VERDICT

More than most of its ilk, the F70EXR suggests itself as an ideal travel companion best suited to spur of the moment snaps. That said the broad
.cont. focal range and EXR and film simulation modes do provide a wealth of creative possibilities, ably allowing the photographer to take in everything from landscapes to candid close ups. With the F70EXR suggesting excellent value even at its top UK recommended price of 260, the ultimate winner here is the consumer.
