The Fujifilm FinePix HS10 (in some countries sold as Fujifilm FinePix HS11) is an ultrazoom bridge camera from Fujifilm that was announced in February 2010. It is the first model of the Fujifilm FinePix HS series.

• Shutter speed: 30 – 1/4000 s (extremes depending on exposure mode)
• Fujinon 30x optical zoom lens, manually actuated (no motor delay), f/2.8 (Wide) – f/5.6 (Telephoto)
  • Focal length: f=4.2–126.0 mm, equivalent to 24–720 mm on a 35 mm camera
  • Aperture: f/2.8–11 (wide) f/5.6–11 (long)
  • Min Focus distance:
    • 50 cm (wide) – 3 m (Tele)
    • High speed 2 m (wide) – 5 m (Tele)
    • Macro 10 cm – 3 m (wide) – 2 m–5 m (Tele)
    • Super Macro 1 cm – 1 m
• Still images: RAW (.raf) size=px size of sensor(2,048×1,536 / 3 MP-this is shown in Windows Explorer, etc., in RAW converters it is shown real px size) or jpeg images (3,648×2,736 / 9.98 MP), and RAW+JPG. The raf file specifications differ from earlier versions of Fuji .raf files meaning that older software can not read HS10 raw files. For example, Adobe Photoshop versions prior to CS5 cannot read the new format. The Raw converter that comes with the camera does not save in TIF file format.
