They look flat and desaturated because the idea is that you do it all. RAW files are therefore bigger and have no manipulation to them.

This frees up more space on the memory card to take more pictures. If you record in JPEG, the images are adjusted for colour saturation, contrast and sharpness then compressed to make them smaller by removing unnecessary data from the image. When the camera takes a picture, no adjustments are made to the photograph. RAW is a type of file that the Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 records in. The flash will then reduce output to avoid bleaching. It will also communicate if a subject is nearby. For example, the camera will tell the flash if the zoom is out and that it should increase power output. Using a dedicated flash will allow the two units to talk to each other. The three smaller pins are what makes the flash РІР‚СљdedicatedРІР‚Сњ to the camera. The centre metal point fires an electrical current that tells the flash that the camera is taking a picture and that it should make a bright light. If you're unfamiliar with a hot-shoe, it's designed to attach external flash units to the camera. Look on top of the Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 at the flash that sits over the lens and you'll see the hot-shoe just behind it.

The camera also controls the Aperture and Shutter speed in Auto mode, but in Program, the Main menu has more options open such as ISO and white-balance.

They stand for Program (camera controls shutter speed and aperture), Shutter priority (you control shutter speed, camera controls aperture), Aperture priority (as with Shutter priority, but reversed) and Manual (you control both Aperture and Shutter speed). The manual controls are the options on the command dial designated PASM. Let's take a closer look at these modes for a moment. Typical modes that the SL1000 has to offer for the learning photographer include manual controls on the command dial that sits on top of the body, an external flash hot-shoe and RAW recording. Don't take that the wrong way, it certainly has functions for the novice, but this is a camera that will be favoured by someone looking to increase their knowledge in photography. The rest of the Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 is set up for the more advanced user. The 50x optical zoom starts at 24mm (in 35mm terms) and finally stops at a nostril flaring 1200mm. Add a 50x optical zoom to that and you're going to be taking pictures of your favourite pop artists from seven rows back. It does flip down and up, making macro or gig photography easier to shoot. The articulation isn't fully manoeuvrable, it won't twist from side to side. What do you get for the extra Р’Р€200? Well, for a start, externally there's the flip out LCD screen. The brand new SL1000 also has interesting features, but has a Р’Р€200 price increase on its little brother. Ease of UseР”Р„round a month ago, we published our review of the Fujifilm FinePix SL240 which we found to be an interesting camera because of the features it has for the price.

How will this line-up of features square up in our test? The Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 costs around Р’Р€335 / $399.95 and is available in any colour as long as it's black. Other highlights include a 1cm Super Macro mode, a 3-level zoom switch, a flash hot-shoe, and a customisable Function button.
