The Fujifilm FinePix F30 was announced at the Photo Marketing Association Trade Show, nearly a year after the F10 that it replaces. The new F30 has the same 6.3 megapixels of resolution, but has it on a sixth generation 1/1.7-inch Super CCD and pairs it with a second generation RP Processor.
Picture Quality / Size Options
The F30’s image quality can be selected in the ‘F’ menu. The following options are available: 6 M Fine (2848 x 2136), 6 M Normal (2848 x 2136), 3:2 (3024 x 2016), 3 M (2048 x 1536), 2 M (1600 x 1200), and 03 M (640 x 480). The screen shows how many pictures each setting can take, which is very helpful as it is often the determining factor in which image size to choose.
Picture Effects Mode
The following color modes can be found in the ‘F’ menu: Black & White, Chrome and Standard. This leaves out a traditional sepia mode, but keeps the ever-popular black & white. This is nice for when photographers want dramatic effects without the hassle of editing software.
