The Fuji FinePix 3800 expands your digital photography horizons with a range of advanced options, including manual mode with aperture control and exposure compensation. It features 3-megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom, and movie mode. The FinePix 3800 is also one of the first digital cameras to utilize the tiny XD memory card.
Optics and Resolution
Featuring a CCD sensor with 3.24 million effective pixels, the FinePix 3800 delivers a wide range of detail and color (with images up to 2,048 x 1,536 pixels) and prints up to 11 by 14 inches. The FinePix 3800 features a fast f/2.8 Fujinon lens with a 6x optical zoom and a variable digital zoom: 3.2x (at the 640 x 480 setting) or 1.6x (at the 1,280 x 960 setting). Its lens focal length is equivalent to 38-114mm on a 35mm camera.
Storage and Transfer
The FinePix 3800 is one of the first digital cameras to be compatible with the new XD memory card. Comparable in size to a penny and weighing less than one-tenth of an ounce, the new XD memory card is not only the smallest storage medium, it also uses less power for better battery performance and has faster data transfer rates than other memory cards. The included 16 MB XD card will store approximately 12 images at fine mode and 26 images at normal mode.
To transfer images to your computer, simply attach the included USB cable between your PC and your camera--your computer should automatically recognize the camera and let you move the pictures to your hard drive.
Movie Mode
In movie mode, the FinePix 3800 produces digital videos (with sound) in QVGA (320 x 240) format for movies approximately 60 seconds in length at 10 frames per second. The limited resolution of your movies guarantees that this feature won't replace your camcorder, but it's perfect for when you just want to capture a quick movie and e-mail it to a friend or relative.
More Features
- 1.8-inch LCD monitor
- White balance: auto, plus six selectable positions in manual mode
- Flash modes: auto, red-eye reduction, forced flash, suppressed flash, and slow synchro

Power
The FinePix 3800 is powered by four AA batteries (alkalines are included). We recommend getting a set or two of rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and a charger. A digital camera will kill a set of alkaline batteries extremely quickly, especially if you're using the camera's LCD display, so they aren't recommended except in a pinch.Size
The FinePix 3800 measures at 3.9 by 3.0 by 2.7 inches and 10 ounces.Contents
This package includes the FinePix 3800 digital camera, a 16 MB XD memory card, four AA alkaline batteries, a USB cable, a shoulder strap, an adapter ring, a lens cap, and a CD-ROM with software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.
