Connectivity
Software
The Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd comes with FinePix Viewer software, which includes a RAW file converter. The CD-ROM also has Image Mixer VCD2 LE for FinePix digital cameras.
Jacks, ports, plugs
On the left side of the camera is an L-shaped door with three jacks beneath it. They include DC-in, AV-out, and USB. The power adaptor is not included with the camera and is an optional accessory. The AV cable is included and can be adjusted to output in NTSC or PAL standards for playback anywhere in the world. The USB 2.0 hi-speed cable is included and transfers pictures to the computer, printer, or other USB-enabled device.
Direct Print Options
Users can print directly from the S6000fd through the playback mode and the “F” menu. There is a DPOF option that prints with or without the date and resets print orders altogether. Users can scroll through the pictures and select the number of prints to be made from 0-99.
Battery
The camera is powered by four AA batteries, which fit in a door on the bottom of the hand grip. Ever stuffed a suitcase so full that to close it you had to sit on top of it? That’s how it is with stuffing the batteries into the compartment. You really have to apply a lot of force to close the door, then slide a tiny plastic lock so it doesn’t bust open and puke out batteries. The S6000fd comes with alkaline batteries that get 200 shots per charge, but Fuji also sells Ni-MH rechargeable batteries that are reportedly more efficient.
Memory
The Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd comes with 10 MB of internal memory, which is enough to snap three pictures at the highest resolution but not enough to snap even one RAW image. The digital camera has a door on the left side that opens to reveal the card slot. xD-Picture cards up to 2 GB function in this camera. For photographers who want to utilize the movie mode frequently, 2 GB won’t seem like much.
