As someone with old eyes, I feel that I should discourage you from using 
"smallest" as the size for captions. That said, if you have the LaTeX 
'caption' package installed, you can put the following in your preamble:

\usepackage{caption}

\captionsetup[figure]{labelfont={scriptsize}, name={Fig.},labelsep=colon}

I think that will do what you want.
