Fujifilm FinePix S5000

Control OptionsNext: Page 8
Connectivity / ExtrasPicture Quality /Size Options (6.5)
The S5000 offers three image sharpness settings: Hard, Normal, and Soft. These refer to the sharpness of the lines within the image. For instance, if you are shooting a person or a building that you want to clearly delineated from the background, select the Hard setting. This will ensure that each line is as crisp as the camera is capable of and will accent the outline of the form. To blend the form or subject into the image, use Normal sharpness mode. In normal mode, the lines surrounding the subject are apparent but not emphasized. This works to differentiate forms and create layers within the image without appearing too formal or rigid. For those shots where you want a softer feel, use Soft mode. This is often ideal for portraits, creating forms that blend into the background. Many formal portraits and paintings have soft edges that give the image a warmer feel and more humanized look.
The image size options available on the FinePix S5000:
2816 x 2120 pixels (6M)
2048 x 1536 pixels (3M)
1600 x 1200 pixels (2M)
1280 x 960 pixels (1M)
Picture Effects Options (7.0)
The Fujifilm FinePix S5000 has three picture effect settings that alter color hue and saturation. There is a Standard setting in which color values, saturation, and contrast are all evenly set. There is also a Chrome setting which elevates the contrast and color saturation to exaggerate tone and differentiate color values, as well as a Black & White setting. These are all standard settings and are nice to have on a camera, but if quality is a priority, I would recommend seeking these options (and many more) out in some form of external software.
