Camera Overview — Fujifilm HS30 EXR

The Fujifilm FinePix HS30 EXR is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP 1/2-inch sensor powered by the EXR CMOS II image processor. Its ISO range spans from 100 to 12800, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. The camera captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4608x3456 pixels and supports a burst mode rate of up to 8 frames per second, making it capable of keeping up with faster-moving subjects.

Image stabilization is handled via an Optical OIS system, with digital IS also available as a supplementary option. On the rear, a 3.0-inch LCD with 460,000 dots of resolution serves as the primary composition and review tool, while an electronic viewfinder with a 60Hz refresh rate and 201,600-dot resolution offers an alternative framing option. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps in 8-bit color, with Standard color profile support.

Connectivity includes USB, Mini HDMI output, and a hot shoe for external flash accessories, alongside SD, SDHC, and SDXC card compatibility.
