Fujifilm FinePix A303 Review




Record Mode Screens & Menus
The LCD screens that you see in this review had to be photographed as there is no video out-
port that we normally use to capture the displays with. LCD monitors on any camera were
never designed with enough resolution to be photographed. So we hope you understand why these
screen captures are not up to standard with our usual high-res direct output method.
This is the typical record screen that appears at power up. The "M" in the upper left
indicates some manual record functions are available(see setup menu below.) The Auto record
screen is identical only with an "A" in the corner. The "12" refers to the number of pictures
that will fit in remaining free space on the Xd card. Below the "12" is the image size and
quality settings. The brackets in the center indicate where focus will be determined. For the
first few seconds after power up the date appears across the bottom of the display.

The Movie Record screen is also very simple, the Movie camera Icon is self explanatory as is
the "standby" awaiting a push of the shutter release to start the recording. The "60S"
indicates the 60 second max record time per movie in the "320" x 240 size movie.
