Featherweight it may be in terms of physical dimensions and weight but it also featherweight in
specification. The F470 has standard 6-megapixel sensor (as opposed to a Fuji SuperCCD) at the top of its spec’ billing, 10-scene modes include the usual bits and bobs, such as portrait, landscape and sports and a flower close-up mode among others.
Unusually, a manual mode is also included within the scene modes, which affords a modicum of control over exposure compensation (to +/-2EV in 1/3rd stop steps) and white balance settings (you don’t get the former in other modes and the latter is automatic in others) but both adjustments are buried within menus, so it’s not very fast or user friendly if you need to get quick adjustments.
Each menu is contextual, providing a different set of available options depending on what mode or scene setting you’ve set the camera to use. So, while menus are too prevalent in terms of speed off use and control, they are otherwise easy to navigate. A few external controls particularly for white balance and exposure compensation would not go amiss on the handling front.
