Camera Overview — Fujifilm FinePix F601 Zoom
Key Features — Fujifilm FinePix F601 Zoom
3.1MP Super CCD Sensor: Fujifilm's 1/1.7-inch 3rd Generation Super CCD delivers a maximum resolution of 2832x2128 pixels, with the honeycomb pixel arrangement designed to extract more detail than conventional sensors of the same megapixel count.
ISO 160–1600 Range: A relatively wide sensitivity range for a compact of this era, giving shooters some flexibility in lower-light environments without always relying on flash.
5fps Burst Shooting: Capable of capturing up to 5 frames per second, an unusually fast burst rate for a consumer compact camera at the time of release.
Optical Real-Image Zoom Viewfinder: Provides an alternative to the LCD for composing shots, useful for conserving battery or shooting in bright sunlight.
Movable Single AF Point: The contrast detection autofocus point can be repositioned within the frame, allowing off-center subjects to be focused without recomposing.
Five-Mode Built-In Flash: The pop-up flash supports Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Forced, Suppressed, and Slow Synchro modes to cover a broad range of everyday shooting scenarios.

Description — Fujifilm FinePix F601 Zoom
The Fujifilm FinePix F601 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 1/1.7-inch sensor resolving 3.1MP, processed by an Advanced LSI 3rd Generation Super CCD engine. It captures stills at up to 2832x2128 pixels with sRGB color output, and supports an ISO range of 160–1600. The autofocus system uses contrast detection with a single movable focus point, and manual focus is also available for precise control.
A 1.5-inch TFT LCD with 110,000 dots handles image review and composition, while an optical real-image zoom viewfinder offers an alternative framing method. The built-in pop-up flash covers five modes: Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, Forced, Suppressed, and Slow Synchro. Burst shooting reaches 5fps, and video records at 640x480 at 15fps.
The alloy-construction body measures 92 x 75 x 56 mm and weighs just 220g, running on an NP-60 Li-ion battery for approximately 150 shots per charge. Connectivity is handled via USB.
