Picture Quality / Size Options (7.5)
The Fuji FinePix S7000 has six image size options accessed through the Function button on the back of the digital camera: 1280 x 960 (1 MP), 1600 x 1200 (2 MP), 2016 x 1512 (3 MP), 2848 x 2136 (6 MP), 4048 x 3040 Normal (12 MP), and 4048 x 3040 Fine (12 MP) for better image quality. The Fuji FinePix S7000 does its users a service by indicating how many more images can be taken with the particular card inserted at the chosen file size.

 Picture Effects Mode (7.0)
The Fuji FinePix S7000 allows users to adjust its color and sharpness settings to enhance their pictures and add a little more creativity. Within the menu accessed through the Function button, there are three FinePix color options: Standard, Chrome, and Black and White. Standard is the default and all around smooth color setting, Chrome sets contrast and color saturation to higher levels to achieve vivid color tones similar to slide film, and Black and White converts all color tones into black and white tones.

There are also three options for Sharpness located through the Menu button: Hard, Soft, and Normal. These allow the user to adjust the emphasis of the image depending on your subject. For subjects with a hard edge, such as a building, the Hard option would work best. For images of people, the Soft sharpness would work well. I was quite pleased with the default level of sharpness, and wouldn’t be surprised if most people didn’t touch this function.
