Product Tour
Overview
The FS7 has a nice brushed metal body - we handled it in silver, but it will be available in black, blue, pink, and green as well. With a 10-megapixel sensor and optical image stabilization, it presents a nice package.
 |
| Sleek and subdued in silver |
Front
Relative to the lens, the FS7's flash is at the 11 o'clock position and the auto focus assist light is at the 1 o'clock position.
 |
| A functional and not-too-busy face |
Back
The 2.7-inch display takes up most of the back of the FS7. To its right are a sliding toggle switch to change between the still image capture, video capture, and playback modes, the Mode button, 4 buttons arranged in a circular shape around a center Menu/Set button, and the display and quick menu buttons.
 |
| The large LCD is your viewfinder |
Sides
The FS7's only port, a combined USB/AV out port, is on the left side. There is nothing on the camera's right side.
 |
 |
| A little something on the left, nothing on the right | |
Top
On the top of the FS7 are the shutter button, surrounded by the rotating zoom control, the on/off switch, and a shortcut iA button to quickly access this fully-automatic mode.
 |
| The top of the FS7 |
Bottom
The battery and expansion card slot share a compartment on the bottom of the FS7. The tripod mount is offset to the left side.
