The FinePix F40fd also features a number of convenience features such as a dual memory card slot (which accepts xD-Picture Card and the popular Secure Digital (SD) card format), a Dual Shot mode that takes two pictures with one press of the shutter button (one with flash, to capture a bright, vivid image, and the other without flash, to capture the natural ambience of the shot) and a total of 14 special scene position modes (including Underwater, Snow, Night and Close-up) making the camera ideally suited to any photo opportunity. Furthermore, when a still image isn't sufficient, the camera's movie mode, captures movie clips with sound that are of broadcast quality.
