What it is
How it works
The FE-300 uses a 1/1.72-inch CCD sensor and a 3x optical zoom lens with a 35-105 mm equivalent range and an f/2.8-4.7 aperture. The camera also includes face detection and an automatic mode set for simplified operation.[2][3][1]
Compact digital cameras form an image on the sensor, process exposure and focus internally, and save the result to removable storage or internal memory. The FE-300 uses xD-Picture Card storage and internal memory.[2]
Compact cameras of this class typically rely on a rear display for composition and review, because many models omit an optical viewfinder. The FE-300 uses a 2.5-inch LCD monitor for composition and playback.[3]
Applications
The FE-300 is suited to everyday snapshot photography, portrait capture, and general casual use. The camera includes face detection and scene-oriented automatic operation for simple picture taking.[1][3]
The FE-300 also supports close-up use through macro settings. The camera's compact body and moderate zoom make it a general-purpose consumer camera rather than a specialized imaging instrument.[3][2]
