The rear LCD, although small is larger than that found on the Canon Digital IXUS (a comparable size digicam), Fujifilm had a little more height in the body and space to put the 1.8" LCD. It has a good range (ten) of brightness levels (accessed by holding the DISP button for more than 4 seconds) and was on the whole relatively good for the size of camera. |
Viewfinder
 |
As the 40i is so small, so is its viewfinder, almost like peering through the viewfinder of a disposable camera... The green light next to the viewfinder indicates power-on and camera "ready", when focusing it will blink and continuing blinking if it cannot get a good focus lock. It's a criticism I level at most compact digital cameras and it's about time manufacturers started to consider putting better (read larger) viewfinders on their cameras(or better still mini-LCD TTL). |
Battery / SmartMedia Compartment
 |
|
| The 40i takes just two AA batteries (like its bigger brother the 4700Z) which reside in the same compartment as the SmartMedia card. The door opens on a slide and flip-out mechanism (metal hinge I should add), all in all a fairly straightforward setup. | Note the little gold marker to indicate "contact side this way up". Also, you'll need an ID SmartMedia card (ID simply means the card has a unique serial number which can be associated with the device), an 8 or 16 MB ID SmartMedia card is supplied with the camera. |
Internal Flash
 |
The flash built into the 40i is smaller and not as powerful as that found in the 4700Z, this flash has an output rating of 0.4 - 2.5 m (1.3 - 8.2 ft) it should be fine for taking portraits but not quite enough for group shots... |
