The FinePix S9500 has a start-up time of just 0.8 seconds and claims a shutter lag time of just 0.01 seconds. The camera also offers RAW mode. A tilting 1.8-inch LCD screen allows images to be viewed at a range of angles. Other features include a manual twist barrel zoom control; VGA movie capture of 30 frames per second with zoom capability and sound; a hotshoe attachment and PC sync terminal for external flash; a wide range of focal range, exposure and flash mode dials; and a real-time histogram to assist exposure settings before shooting.
