For Your Safety

Power Sup ply and Bat tery

* Confirm you r battery typ e before read-

ing the foll owing descriptio ns.

The following explains proper use of

batteries and how to prolong their

life. Incorrect use of b atteries can

cause shorter battery life, as well as

leakage, e xcessive heat,  re or exp lo-

sion.

Camera uses the Rechargeable

Lithium-ion Battery

* When shipped, the battery is not

fully charged. Always charge the

batter y before using it.

* When c arrying the bat tery, install it

in a digital camera or keep it in the

soft case.

■ Battery Features

• The bat tery gradually loses its

charge even when not used. Use

a batter y that has been charged

recently (in the last day or two) to

take pictures.

• To ma ximize the life of the battery,

turn the camera o as quickly as

possible when it is not bein g used.

• Th e number of availabl e frames will

be lower in col d locations or at low

temperatures. Take along a spare

fully charged batter y. You can also

increase the amount of power pro-

duced by put ting the battery in

your pocke t or another warm place

to heat it and then loading it into

the camera just before you take a

picture.

If you are using a heating pad, take

care not to place the batter y di-

rectly against the pad. The camera

may not operate if you use a de-

pleted bat tery in cold conditions.

■ Ch arging t he Batter y

• You can charge the batter y using

the battery charger (included).

- The battery can be charged

at ambient temperatures be-

tween 0°C and +40°C (+32°F

and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s

Manual for the time of charging

battery.

- You should charge the bat tery

at an ambient temperature be-

tween +10°C and +35°C (+50°F

and +95°F). If you charge the

batter y at a temperature outside

this range, charging takes longer

because the performance of the

batter y is impaired.

- You cannot charge the battery

at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or

below.

• The Rechargeable Lithium- ion Bat-

tery does not need to b e fully dis-

charged or exhausted  at before

being charged.

• The battery may feel warm af ter it

has been charged or immediately

after being used. This is perfe ctly

normal.

• Do not recharge a fully charged

battery.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the bat-

tery can be used at least 300 times.

If the time for which the battery

provides power shortens markedly,

this indicates that the battery has

reached the end of its e ective life

and should be replaced.

■ Notes on storage

• If a batter y is stored for lo ng periods

while charged, the performance of

the battery can be impaired. If the

batter y will not be us ed for some

time, run the battery out before

storing it .

• If you do not intend to use the

camera for a long period of time,

remove the bat tery from the cam-

era.

• Store the batter y in a cool place.

- The battery should be stored in

a dry location with an ambient

temperature b etween +15°C and

+25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

- Do not leave the batter y in hot or

extremely cold places.

■ Ha ndling th e Batter y

Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:

• Do not carry or store bat tery with

metal obje cts such as necklaces or

hairpins.

• Do not heat the batter y or throw it

into a  re.

• Do not attempt to take ap art or

change the battery.

• Do not recharge the bat tery with

chargers other those spe ci ed.

• Dispose of used batter y promptly.

• Do not drop the bat tery or other-

wise subject it to strong impacts.

• Do not expose the batter y to wa-

ter.

• Always keep the batter y terminals

clean.

• D o not store bat teries in hot plac-

es. Also, if you use the battery for

a long period, the camera body

and the battery itself will become

warm. This is normal. Use the AC

power adapter if you are taking

pictures or viewing images for a

long period of time.

Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH

(nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable

batteries

* For details on the batteries that

you can use, refer to the Owner’s

Manual of your camera.

■ C autions fo r Using Bat tery

• Do not heat the batteries or throw

them into a  re.

• Do not carr y or store batteries with

metal obje cts such as necklaces or

hairpins.

• Do not expose the batteries to wa-

ter, and keep batteries from getting

wet or stored in moist locations.

• Do not attempt to take apart or

change the batteries, including

battery casings.

• Do not subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

• D o not use bat teries that are leak-

ing, deformed, discolored.

vii

For Your Safety

• Do not store batteries in warm or

humid places .

• Keep the batteries out of reach of

babies and small children.

• Make sure that the battery polarit y

(C and D) is correct.

• D o not use new with used bat ter-

ies. Do not use charged and dis-

charged bat teries together.

• Do not use di erent types or

brands of batteries at the same

time.

• If you do not intend to use the

camera for a long period of time,

remove the bat teries from the

camera. Note if the camera is left

with the bat teries removed, the

time and date set tings are cleared.

• The batteries feel warm right af-

ter being used. Before removing

the batteries, turn the camera o

and wait for the batteries to cool

down.

• Since batteries do not work well in

cold weather or locations, warm

the batteries by placing them in-

side your garments before use.

Batteries do not work well when

cold. They will work again when

the temperat ure returns to normal.

• Soil (such as  ngerprints) on the

batter y terminals makes the bat-

teries charge less reducing the

number of images. Carefully wipe

the battery terminals with a sof t

dry cloth before loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from

the batteries, wipe the batter y

compartment thoroughly and

then load new batteries.

If any battery  uid comes into

contact with your hands or

clothing,  ush the area thor-

oughly with water. Note that

batter y  uid can cause loss

of eyesight if it gets into your

eyes. If this occurs, do not rub

your eyes. Flush the  uid out

with clean water and contact

your physician for treatment.

■ Us ing the AA- size Ni-MH b atteries

correctly

• Ni- MH batter ies left unused in

storage for long periods can be -

come “deactivated”. Also, repeat-

edly charging Ni-MH batteries

that are only par tially discharged

can cause them to su er from the

“memory e ect”. Ni-MH batteries

that are “deactivated” or a ected

by “memory” su er from the prob-

lem of only providing power for a

short time after being charged. To

prevent this problem, discharge

and recharge them several times

using the camera’s “Discharging

rechargeable batteries” function.

Deactivation and m emory are spe-

ci c to Ni- MH batteries and are not

in fact battery f aults.

See Owner’s Manual for the proce-

dure for “Discharging rechargeable

batteries”.

CAUTION

Do not use the “Discharging re -

chargeable batteries” function when

alkaline batteries being used.

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the

quick battery charger (sold sepa-

rately). Refer to the instructions

supplied with the charger to make

sure that the charger is used cor-

rectly.

• Do not use the bat tery charger to

charge other batteries.

• Note that the batteries feel warm

after being charged.

• Due to the way the camera is con-

struc ted, a small amount of current

is used even when the camera is

turned o . Note in particular that

leaving Ni- MH batter ies in the

camera for a long period will over-

discharge the batteries and may

render them unusable even after

recharging.

• Ni-MH bat teries will self-discharge

even when not us ed, and the time

for which the y can be used may be

shortened as a result.

• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate

rapidly if over-discharge d (e.g.

by discharging the batteries in a

 ashlight). Use the “Discharg ing re-

chargeable batteries” function pro-

vided in the camera to discharge

the batteries.

• Ni-MH batteries have a limited

service life. If a battery can only

be used for a short time even after

repeated discharge-charge cycles,

it may have reached the end of its

service life.

■ Disposing of Batteries

• When disposing of batteries, do

so in accordance with your local

waste disposal regulations.

Notes on both models (

)

The camera takes four AA alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. A set of four alkaline bat-

teries is supplied with the camera. Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.

Open the battery-chamber cover.

Slide the battery-cham-

ber latch in the direction

shown and open the bat-

tery-chamber cover.

1 Note

Be sure the camera is o before opening the bat-

tery-chamber cover.

3 Cautions

• Do not open the battery-chamber cover when

the camera is on. Failure to observe this pre-

caution could result in damage to image  les or

memory cards.

• Do not use excessive force when handling the

battery-chamber cover.

Insert the batteries.

Insert the batteries in the

orientation shown by the

“+“ and “–“ marks inside

the battery chamber.

3 Cautions

• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.

• Never use batteries with peel-

ing or damaged casing or mix

old and new batteries, batter-

ies with di erent charge levels,

or batteries of di erent types.

Failure to observe these

precautions could result

in the batteries leaking or

overheating.

• Neve r use manganese or Ni- Cd batteries.

• The capacity of alkaline batteries varies with the

manufacturer and drops at temperatures below

10 °C/50 °F; Ni-MH batteries are recommended.

• Fingerprints and other soil on the battery termi-

nals can shorten battery life.

Battery casing

First Steps

Inserting the Batteries

Close the battery-chamber cover.

Close the battery-cham-

ber cover and slide it in

until the latch clicks into

place.

3 Caution

Do not use force. If the battery-chamber cover

does not close, check that the batteries are in the

correct orientation and try again.

Choosing the Battery Type

After replacing the batteries with

batteries of a di erent type, se-

lect the battery type using the

2 Tip: Using an AC Power Adapter

The camera can be powered by an optional AC pow-

er adapter and DC coupler (sold separately). See the

manuals provided with the AC power adapter and DC

coupler for details.

Inserting a Memory Card

Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, optional SD memory cards (sold sepa-

rately) can be used to store additional pictures.

When no memory card is inserted, a appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording

and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become cor-

rupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and saved on

the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in internal memory

can also be copied to a memory card (see page 99). To prevent internal memory from becoming full,

be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.

When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.

■

Compatible Memory Cards

SD and SDHC memory cards manufactured by FUJIFILM and SanDisk have been approved for use in

the camera. A complete list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/

digital_cameras/index.html. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used

with xD-Picture Cards or with MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.

c Caution

SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or

delete images. Before inserting an SD memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the

unlocked position.

Inserting a Memory Card

c Cautions

• Do not turn the camera o or remove the memory card while the memory card is being format ted or data are being recorded to or

deleted fro m the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

• Format memory cards before  rst use or after using them in a computer or other device. For more information

on formatting memory cards, see page 109.

• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card,

seek medical assistance immediately.

• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject

normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly

remove the card.

• Do not a x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.

• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed

(4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.

• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the

repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.

• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do

not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image  les. Always

use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming  les,

copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
