Description — Fujifilm FinePix F30 Zoom
The Fujifilm FinePix F30 is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 1/1.7-inch sensor with 6MP resolution, processed by the Fujifilm Real Photo Processor II. Its ISO 100–3200 range provides notable versatility across lighting conditions. The camera body measures 93 x 57 x 28 mm and weighs 155g, constructed from plastic with metal accents — compact enough for daily carry.
The 2.5-inch TFT LCD with 230,000 dots is the sole composition tool, as no viewfinder is included. Autofocus uses contrast detection with one movable AF area, while image stabilization is handled via Digital/Electronic IS. Shooters can choose from five color profiles — Standard, Chrome, B&W, Fujifilm Color, and Custom — and take advantage of burst shooting at 3fps.
A built-in pop-up flash with multiple modes is included. Video recording reaches 480p at 30fps in 8-bit. The NP-95 Li-ion battery delivers approximately 580 shots per charge (CIPA).
Connectivity is via USB, with no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth support.
