Picture Quality / Size Options (7.0)
While other manufacturers seem to be constantly vying for more and more megapixels on smaller and smaller cameras, the FinePix F31fd, like its predecessors, has 6.3 megapixels on its Super CCD. It offers the following image sizes: 2848 x 2136 (offered in fine and normal compression), 3024 x 2016 (3:2 format), 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480. The JPEG image sizes can be chosen in the “F” menu. When users scroll through these options, they can see exactly how many pictures can be taken with the inserted card or internal memory. This is very helpful.
Picture Effects Mode (7.0)
This Fujifilm doesn’t have many picture effects, especially when compared to such cameras as the Canon PowerShots with their My Colors modes. The F31fd has standard, chrome, and black & white color modes in the “F” menu. The standard mode is the default, and it is the only mode available in the movie mode. The chrome mode messes up with the saturation and isn’t available in the scene modes. These color modes are no replacement for good editing software. Color modes are only available while shooting and not in the playback mode.
