Fujifilm has developed technology to automatically identify different scenes; Portrait, Night, Landscape, and Macro. Once the scene has been detected, the camera will optimize the settings accordingly to capture the photo of your chosen subject with the utmost in clarity, detail, and color.

The Fuji FinePix F60fd Pros

Excellent low light performance the 800 ISO is excellent compared to the 400 ISO settings of other camera brands. This model excels indoors without the use of the flash at the 400 ISO setting. The pictures are bright and sharp and provide quality pictures. When using the flash a touch more clarity is gained but without the pictures are not blurry or too dark.

Another exceptional feature is face detection works really well even when the subject is not looking at the camera. Another real plus is the option to turn it on or off with the touch of a button with no need to explore the menu.

Many used enjoy the white balance as it is very good indoors. It not perfect but it does not turn white into yellow or brown either. Of course many digital cameras have a lot of trouble with indoor lighting without the flash.

The Fujifilm FinePix F60fd Cons

When used in the auto mode for indoor pictures the pre-set ISO setting is not good. You must lower the setting to 800 ISO or 400 ISO and your pictures indoors turn out bright enough.

By default the camera selects the upper limit of 1600 and 800 ISO setting. This is not good as 100 or 200 would have been a better default choice. You must set manually the ISO for indoors to 400 ISO or 800 if it’s not a lit environment then you will get some really good shots.
