This compact, only 19.7mm thick, has a distinctive appearance thanks to its innovative design. Incorporating a raised side grip that sits comfortably in the palm of the hand, the FinePix F470 Zoom allows the user to hold it securely, without compromising the slimline look of the camera's stylish body.
The FinePix F470 Zoom is also host to a high resolution, extremely clear 2.5" LCD screen for framing and viewing shots. Furthermore, the FinePix F470 Zoom comes with a TV-quality VGA movie mode that can capture up to 30 frames per second with sound.
Equipped to handle a variety of shooting conditions, this easy-to-operate camera allows users to select from ten automatic scene settings. These include a 'Sunset mode' to emphasis vivid colours, a 'Beach and Snow mode' for minimising glare in bright situations, and a 'Party mode' for indoor settings, allowing images to retain the natural ambience of the scene in low-light conditions.
