Camera Overview — Fujifilm FinePix S3500 Zoom

The Fujifilm FinePix S3500 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 4MP sensor capable of capturing images at a maximum resolution of 2272x1704 pixels. Designed for casual, everyday photography, it features a fixed lens and a contrast detection autofocus system with a single focus point. The camera uses four AA batteries, offering approximately 350 shots per charge under CIPA standards when using NiMH cells — a practical choice for photographers who prefer widely available power sources over proprietary battery packs.

For composing and reviewing shots, the S3500 provides both an electronic viewfinder and a 1.5-inch fixed LCD display with 62,000 dots of resolution. A built-in pop-up flash covers a range of 0.3–3.5m at wide angle and 0.8–3.5m at telephoto, with selectable modes including Auto, On, Red-eye reduction, Slow, and Off. The ISO sensitivity range runs from 64 to 250, keeping noise low in well-lit conditions while limiting flexibility in dim environments.

Video capture tops out at 640x480 resolution. The plastic body measures 100 x 77 x 69 mm and weighs 385g, offering no weather sealing. Connectivity includes USB, though no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is present.

There is no image stabilization of any kind.
