Does this camera have the option to set the aperture and/or shutter speed manually if you want to, or are you stuck with the automatic choices?

You cannot change either, however there are 14 scene modes and 2 different burst modes, pano, HD movie, lots of features. Read them all here: http://www.fujifilmusa.com/products/digital_cameras/xp/finepix_xp200/features/

Try going to the custom menu and turning on Shoot w/o Lens. The lens is manual and the camera cannot use automatic settings.

This lens is totally manual. You have to set the aperture and shutter speed manually. In fact, you have to turn off the auto focus and any other auto/electronic feature off in your camera

Yep. Manual aperture and focus. Some vignetting and hard to correct distortion but performs great for the price. The 16mm is designed for smaller sensors but the 14mm is the one you want.

you only focus manually and set the aperture. exposure time is calculated or set by the camera, depending on your shooting mode (Av / Tv etc). I have a Canon.

Yes. However it does not allow use of automatic focus or aperture settings...you must manually focus and set aperture ... Aperture priority works, or use full manual exposure.

I haven't used the manual setting alot, but yes, you can set the shutter speed to 1 second or more, also you can change the f-stop under this setting.

Hi Amazon Consumer, you cannot adjust the ISO setting when in Aperture Priority mode in this camera. The ISO can only be adjusted in Manual Exposure Shooting, Program Auto or (Advanced Sports Shooting) in Scene Selection. Thanks_Mitch

Depending on the mode you select, nightime, landscape, etc, the shutter speed adjusts. I do not know if it can be manually changed.

Nope. Once you've set it (turn it on), as I recall, everything is automatic. As with any new touch-screen device it may take awhile for you to get the hang of the menu operation but once you've played with it for a day or two you'll have it down and some of the features are not the kinda stuff that a "regular" point-and-shoot photographer should be playing with anyway....they won't help produce a better shot in the context of how I use the camera, at least. There are about ten settings I even care about and once I've set them, I pretty much forget about them. Hope this is useful to you.

Hello Sr's.I have just bought this camera, been playing around with the settings for a coupple of days, its just GREAT. Its not the fastest camera out there, it DOES have a slight delay from PRESS to SHOT, dont know exacly how long, but its noticeable.However this camera, on auto mode, allows you to set an option ON to "fast capture" this will make the Shutter speed way faster... Intented for use to take a pic on a racing event or sports event. I think with this setting ON might be sufficient to capture that lil' angel smile just fine!

Yes, you can select different shutter speeds with this camera. Also, on automatic, the shutter speed will change depending on the need. For example, low light the camera will slow down the shutter speed tremendously.

You can set the aperture to be as fast or pretty much as slow as you want it with this camera. No delay that I can tell, when you have a fast shutter speed set.

If it can, I have not found that setting yet. I recommend the Cannon Rebel Xti. I use it at work and it is amazing. I set it on action mode and you can snap away, just hold the button! And it has settings to change the aperture for different lighting.

It can be set in manual mode or by using shutter preferred setting which allows aperture to be set with auto shutter

Yes, this lens does have the option for auto focusing. But I clearly find that manual focusing is the better of the two choices. Unlike some lens, this option to change from manual to auto focusing is done by sliding the forward most ring, the one closest to the len's end back and forth. No switch. There is no automatic zoom option. You have to rotate the ring closest to the camera body to zoom in and out. I guess that is why I prefer the manual focusing. But either way, I am very happy with the photos I have taken with this lens. Hope this helps

yes. there is a manual focus option. I played with a couple times but don't love it (but I'm used to a DSLR and manual focus)
