With Real Photo Technology, the FinePix V10 generates less noise than similar digital cameras and can therefore take pictures at light sensitivities as high as 1600 ISO at full resolution. Higher sensitivities open the door to a host of user benefits when combined with quicker shutter speeds. Those benefits include less shake and blur due to hand and subject movement as well as more detailed and natural-looking pictures taken in low-light environments. With the FinePix V10 and Real Photo Technology users can keep the lights off during the "Happy Birthday" song and still capture a clear picture without disrupting the mood with a camera flash. To help determine whether or not to use flash for a particular scene, the FinePix V10 has a "Natural Light & With Flash" function. This mode shoots two images in succession, first without and then with flash. This convenient function provides an on-the-spot comparison that helps the user decide whether the FinePix V10 will produce the highest quality photo with flash or without. The most noticeable physical feature of the FinePix V10 is the camera's enormous LCD. At 3-inches, the FinePix V10's LCD is one of largest in the ultra-compact camera category. It gives the user an ideal platform for framing subjects or for sharing just-taken photos. Plus, the LCD has a number of features that ensure peak viewing performance regardless of scene lighting. The LCD employs a special amplification layer that boosts the strength of the LCD and making it easier to see. The LCD is also very "smart", as it automatically "gains up" or brightens in dimly lit environments. And with a stout 230,000 pixels, this re-enforced LCD is not short on resolution.
The high resolution of the FinePix V10's LCD comes in handy when the user selects one of the
four, fun video games available on the camera. A nice secondary feature for a camera whose
focus is on taking great pictures, the games - Number Puzzle, Break Out, Shooting Game and
Maze - are ideal diversions for a traveler during a long layover, a passenger on an
interstate road trip or a weary driver stuck in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The FinePix V10 is available now for about US$349.00 Physical Views![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The FinePix V10 and a standard CD for size comparison. ![]() ![]() The FinePix V10 and the 6-megapixel FinePix F470. |
