Manual Control Options
The Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD has a handful of manual options.You can focus manually by using the left and right 4-way controller keys. Program auto exposure mode handles shutter and aperture settings while allowing the user to manage other camera controls. There's also a shutter-priority mode, where the user sets the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture value, but oddly no aperture-priority mode. There is also a full manual mode, allowing users to set both aperture and shutter speed.
The Custom setting on the mode dial allows users to recall their own combination of settings in Program, Shutter-Priority or Manual modes.
Focus
Auto Focus
There are three types of auto focus available: area, multi, and center. There is also an option to enable auto focus in continuous shooting mode. The auto focus assist illuminator on the front of the camera lights up when shooting in low-light conditions.
ISO
Available full-resolution ISO settings range from ISO 100 - 1600. Additional settings of 3200 and 6400 are available if you drop the resolution down to 5 megapixels. Of course, without lab testing, we don't know how noisy images will look at these extended ISOs.
White Balance
If the S2000HD's automatic mode isn't fulfilling all your white balance wishes and dreams, you can either choose from a preset (fine, shade, daylight fluorescent, warm white fluorescent, cool white fluorescent, incandescent light) or create a custom white balance setting all your own.
Metering
The S2000HD features three metering modes:
- multi, which relies automatic scene recognition to set exposure
- spot, which meters only the very center of the frame
- average, which reads 256 on-screen zones and attempts to find a setting to encompass the entire area
Shutter Speed
Shutter speeds range from 1/1000 second to 4 seconds.
Aperture
At the lens' widest-angle setting, the aperture ranges from f/3.5 to f/7.0. When you crank the telephoto to its full 15x extension, the aperture range runs from f/5.4 to f/10.8
Image Stabilization
The S2000HD uses sensor-shift image stabilization, a lifesaver when trying to shoot handheld with a big telephoto zoom.
Picture Quality / Size Options
The best quality you'll get out of your S2000HD is 3,648 x 2,736 resolution, or 10-megapixel resolution. If you'd prefer something a bit smaller, there are quite a few options available. You can shoot in 3648 x 2432 if you prefer a 3:2 format. If you like the 16:9 widescreen format there are two options: 3648 x 2056 and 1920 x 1080. Other sizes include 2592 x 1944, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480, convenient for emailing or web posting.
