15x Zoom Lens: The Fujifilm FinePix F600EXR is equipped with f/3.3-5.3 Fujinon lens with a 15x optical zoom to let you get close to your subject. It has a focal length of 4.4-66mm (35mm equivalent: 24-360mm). The digital zoom is approximately 2x. With the digital zoom activated, the maximum total zoom is 30x.

LCD Monitor: The F600EXR has a 3" color LCD monitor featuring approximately 460,000 dots and approximately 100% horizontal and vertical coverage. The camera does not have a separate viewfinder.

EXR CMOS Image Sensor: The FinePix F600EXR features a 1/2" EXR CMOS image sensor. The EXR Auto mode instantly recognizes up to 54 scene types, automatically optimizes every setting, and switches to one of the following sensor modes, for a total of 99 shooting patterns:

• HR High Resolution: In bright conditions, the EXR sensor selects the HR High Resolution mode to employ all 16 megapixels to record maximum detail.
• SN High Sensitivity/Low Noise: In low light, the SN High Sensitivity & Low Noise mode couples up the same color pixels to create larger, light-absorbing pixels to produce crisp low-light shots with minimal noise.
• DR Dynamic Range: In scenes of high contrast, the DR Dynamic Range mode captures two images at different exposures simultaneously and merges them together to create a perfectly balanced image with detail in the highlights and shadows.

Recording Media: Still images and movies are recorded onto the camera's 33 MB internal memory or optional SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards.

Global Positioning System (GPS): The F600EXR is equipped with a GPS receiver. When activated, global positioning data is recorded with each photograph taken. You can set the GPS Location Search to Permanently On (continually updating data, even when camera is turned off), or When Switched On (GPS data updated only when the camera is turned on).

You can set the camera to RAW+JPEG to record both RAW and JPEG images simultaneously.

Shooting Modes: Using the rotary mode dial, you can set the camera to suit your level and style of photography. The shooting mode choices include:

• EXR Mode: You can choose one of the following EXR modes in the shooting menu:
  • EXR Auto: The camera automatically recognizes the scene and selects the ideal shooting mode, plus switches the sensor to the perfect capture mode for the conditions.
  • EXR Priority: You can manually select the capture mode from the following options: Resolution Priority, High ISO and Low Noise, and D-range Priority (set to 800% or 1600%).
• Program AE: The camera sets the shutter speed and aperture according to shooting conditions.
• Aperture Priority: You select the aperture to capture the depth of field you desire, and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed according to shooting conditions.
• Shutter Priority: You select the shutter speed to freeze action or blur subjects to indicate motion, and the camera automatically sets the aperture according to shooting conditions.
• Manual: You manually set both the shutter speed and aperture for full control over the camera settings.
• Scene Position: You can select a scene suited to the subject or shooting conditions, and save it for quick recall. Available scenes include Natural Light, Natural + Flash, Portrait, Portrait Enhancer, Dog, Cat, Landscape, Sport, Night, Night (Tripod), Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Underwater, Party, Flower, and Text.
• Advanced: This mode combines point and shoot photography with more advanced techniques. The advanced shooting modes include:
  • Motion Panorama 360: You can take photos that will automatically be joined to form a panorama. You can select several angles to pan the camera, vertical or horizontal panorama shooting, and direction of shooting. Directions to guide you appear on the monitor.
  • Pro Focus Mode: This mode lets you create professional looking effects, such as soft focusing the background for a portrait. The camera takes up to 3 pictures and creates one image with a sharp focused subject and a soft focused background like an SLR.
  • Pro Low Light Mode: For shooting a subject under low lighting or a still subject with a telephoto lens. The camera automatically takes up to 4 pictures and merges them together.
• Auto: A simple point and shoot mode recommended for first time users of digital cameras.

ISO Sensitivity: You can manually set the camera's sensitivity to ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, or 12800. The Auto settings will adjust the sensitivity settings according to the shooting conditions. There are 4 automatic settings with a preset maximum sensitivity: Auto 3200, Auto 1600, Auto 800, and Auto 400. The higher the sensitivity setting, the better the camera is at reducing blur in poor lighting conditions, however, high settings can result in more noise in the recorded images.

Film Simulation: The Film Simulation settings allows you to control the color saturation of the recorded image, simulating the effects of different types of film. The camera gives you the following choices:

• Provia/Standard: Standard color reproduction--suited to a wide range of subjects, from portraits to landscapes.
• Velvia/Vivid: A high-contrast palette of saturated colors, suited to nature photographs.
• Astia/Soft: A soft-toned palette of less saturated colors.
• B&W: takes pictures in black and white for dramatic and artistic images
• Sepia: takes pictures in sepia to simulate old photographs

White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of lighting. You can select Auto, Direct Sunlight, Shade, "Daylight" fluorescent lamps, "Warm White" fluorescent lamps, "Cool White" fluorescent lamps, Incandescent light, Underwater,  and Custom (set by the camera for the specific lighting for the shot).

Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure a total of 13 steps from -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps.

Continuous Shooting: You can capture motion in a series of pictures taken as long as you press and hold the shutter button. There are five options for continuous shooting:

• Top n: The camera captures photos while the shutter button is pressed. You can choose the frame rate and maximum number of shots per burst (options depend upon the image size).
• Best Frame Capture: The camera captures a series of pictures, starting before and ending after the shutter button is pressed. The camera saves 8 or 16 shots, some before the shutter button was pressed, and some after.
• AE Bracketing: Each time the shutter button is pressed the camera takes three shots; one using the metered value for exposure, the second overexposed by the step selected (1/3, 2/3, or 1 EV), and the third underexposed by the same amount.
• Film Simulation Bracketing: Each time the shutter button is pressed the camera takes three shots at different film simulation settings: Provia/Standard for the first, Velvia/Vivid for the second, and Astia/Soft for the third.
• Dynamic Range Bracketing: Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes three shots at different dynamic range settings: 100% for the first, 200% for the second, and 400% for the third.

Self-timer: The camera gives you the choice of a 10-second or 2-second self timer.

Auto Focus Modes: You can choose from the following focus modes:

• Center: The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
• Multi: When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera detects high-contrast subjects near the center of the frame and selects the focus area automatically.
• Continuous: When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera continuously adjusts focus to reflect changes in the distance to the main subject in the focus frame.
• Tracking: The focus frame is displayed in the center of the monitor, and once set, will track the moving subject, keeping it in focus.

Focus Range: The focus ranges according to shooting mode are as follows:

• Normal:
  • 1.4' to infinity (wide angle)
  • 8.2' to infinity (telephoto)
• Macro:
  • 1.9" to 9.8' (wide angle)
  • 3.9' to 9.8' (telephoto)

Super Intelligent Flash: The FinePix F600EXR has a built-in, motorized pop-up/retracting flash with a range of 0.4' to 10.4' (Wide) and 2.9' to 6.2' (Telephoto) with sensitivity set to  Auto. This Super Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based on the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the camera. The flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to make sure the exposure is correct. Red-eye removal minimizes the "red-eye" effect, and is available for each flash mode. You can choose from the following flash modes:

• Auto: flash fires automatically as required by the shooting conditions
• Fill Flash: flash will fire whenever a picture is taken
• Slow Synchro: auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds (tripod recommended)
• Flash Off: You can close the pop-up flash when flash photography is prohibited, or to capture natural lighting under dim light.

Intelligent Face Detection: When Face Detection is On, the camera automatically detects human faces anywhere in the frame and sets the focus and exposure for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. This mode will prevent the camera from focusing on the background when taking group portraits or self portraits.

Light Metering: When Face Detection is off, you can select one of three Metering modes:

• Multi: light metering where the camera automatically assesses the scene and selects the optimum exposure.
• Spot: light metering where the exposure is optimized for the center of the image
• Average: light metering where an average value for the entire image is used.

Voice Memos: You can add voice memos of up to 30 seconds each to still images. The voice memos are recorded in the WAV format. During playback, you can pause/resume, stop, fast-forward and rewind the voice memos.

Rating Pictures: As you view your pictures, you can rate them from zero to five stars. These ratings can later be used for image search by their ratings.

Viewing Images: Images can be played back one-at-a-time or in a variety of multi-frame views. Multi-frame options include a 5-frame cascading display (two previous and two following frames cascaded behind the highlighted image), a side-by-side two-frame display (with smaller thumbnails of the previous and next frames, 9-image grid (3 x 3) and a 100-image grid (10 x 10) of micro-thumbnails. In the 9- and 100-image grid views, the highlighted image is slightly enlarged.

Photobook Assist: You can create books from your favorite photos. You can select individual photos or all available photos to put into a photobook. You can also use the criteria from the image search categories (date, face, favorites, scene, or type of data) to choose which photos to put into the photobook.

Playback Zoom/Cropping: You can enlarge a still image in the monitor according to the image quality (size). After you have zoomed in and scrolled the picture to the desired composition, you can create a cropped image of a picture. Copies are saved at Medium, Small, or 640, depending upon the size of the original, and will have an aspect ratio of 4:3. The cropped copy will be saved as a separate file.

Photo Information: Detailed photo information can be viewed with each frame, if desired. The following information is displayed when Detailed Information is selected: Dynamic range, Image size and quality, sensitivity, shutter speed/aperture, film simulation, flash mode, white balance, exposure compensation, frame number, picture (overexposed areas blink on and off), and histogram.

Printing Pictures: Using DPOF (Digital Print Order Form), you can designate which images to print, and whether to print them with or without date. Pictures can be printed as followed:

• Printer or Photo Lab: plug the camera into a Pictbridge-compatible printer, insert the memory card into a compatible printer, or take the memory card to a digital photo lab
• Transferring to Computer: transfer the images to a computer before printing them
