Comes with 1 Gigabyte xD Picture card, original Quick Start Guide, Manual and CD
The ten times optical zoom lens has a focal length equivalent to 38-380mm in 35mm format. There is a 5.7x digital zoom feature. For close up photography the camera can focus from 10cms away from the subject.
For composing images and accessing the menu system there is a 1.8 inch LCD screen. This is made up of around 115,000 pixels. The screen has a brightness control to help you see the screen in lowlight. There is also an electronic viewfinder.
For lowlight photography the built in flash unit has a range of 4m. The flash unit pops up and this helps to reduce problems such as red eye. The flash modes available are Auto, Red-eye Reduction, Forced Flash, Suppressed Flash, Slow Synchro., Red-eye Reduction + Slow Synchro.
There are a small number of preset scene modes available. These help you to take the best possible shot in a variety of different photographic situations. The scenes available are: Portrait, Night Scene, Landscape, Natural Light and Anti-Blur.
To focus the camera you can choose either manual or auto focus. If you use auto focus you can control the focusing by selecting centre, multi point or area focusing. There is an Auto Focus (AF) Illuminator to help the camera focus in poor light. The illuminator is effective up to 2.4 m.
For when you would like to appear in the photo yourself there is a self timer. This can be set to a delay of two or ten seconds. Once a photo has been taken you can add up to thirty seconds of voice memo to it to help jog your memory at a later date.
To add something different to your photos you can add black and white or chrome colour effects. You can also adjust the sharpness of the photos you take.
You can shoot TV quality movies with the Finepix S5600. You can choose between resolutions of 640 x 480 and 320 x 240. There is a top speed of 30 frames per second. Each movie is only limited in duration by the capacity of the memory card. Zoom is disabled in movie mode.
