SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

Using Batteries

Use 4 AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. Do not use different types of batteries together.
Number of available shots (with fully charged batteries)
The table below provides a guide to the number of shots that can be taken at normal temperature with 50% flash use. Note that these figures may vary depending on the camera’s ambient temperature and the level of battery charge.
Battery type
Alkaline batteries Ni-MH battery
HR-3UF Ni-Cd battery
KR-3UF
Important Battery Information
Because different brands of alkaline batteries have
different capacities, the life of some batteries (the length of time for which they can be used) may be considerably shorter than that of the alkaline batteries supplied with this camera.
It is a characteristic of alkaline batteries in particular that
the life of the battery is shorter at low temperatures (+10°C or below).
Do not use lithium or manganese batteries in your
FinePix1400 ZOOM because the heat generated by the batteries could damage the camera.

Slide the battery cover in the direction of the arrow and open the cover.
!
Do not use new and used batteries together.
!
Always switch the camera off when replacing the
batteries. If the camera is left on, the camera settings may revert to the factory default settings.
!
Install replacement batteries within 5 minutes, since
the camera settings are only retained for 5 minutes once the batteries are removed.
!
The Quick Battery Charger (sold separately) is needed
to recharge AA-size Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries (P.71).
2
Install the batteries with the correct polarity as
shown. Close the battery cover as indicated by the
arrow.
When opening and closing the battery cover
Do not use excessive force on the battery
cover.
Take care not to drop the batteries when you
open or close the battery cover.

Using the AC Power Adapter

DC IN 5V socket
To shoot or play back images without depleting the battery charge, use the special AC Power Adapter AC-5V (sold separately). Check that the camera is switched off and then plug the AC power adapter connector into the “DC IN 5V socket” on the camera. Then plug the AC power adapter into the power outlet.
!
You cannot charge the batteries by connecting the
AC power adapter.
!
The shapes of the plug and socket-outlet depends
on the country of use.
!
Using AC power adapters other than the AC-5V
could damage the camera.
!
See P.75 for more information on the AC power adapter.

LOADING AND REMOVING THE SmartMedia
SmartMedia
Only use 3.3V SmartMedia.
MG-4S (4MB), MG-8S (8MB), MG-16S (16MB), MG-32S (32MB), MG-64S (64MB)
!
If images are shot in 640480 pixel mode, it is
sometimes possible to record more than 1,000 frames on a 64MB SmartMedia. However, this camera will only be able to play back and specify DPOF settings for 1,000 frames, starting from the highest frame number. Erasing playback frames allows you to play back subsequent frames you could not previously view. Either limit your recorded frames to 1,000 or erase your unwanted images until there are 1,000 or fewer frames remaining on the SmartMedia. Note that formatting the SmartMedia erases the images in all the frames.
!
Images cannot be recorded or erased if a write-
protect sticker is affixed to the SmartMedia.
!
Operation of this camera is only guaranteed when it
is used with Fujifilm SmartMedia.
!
Some 3.3V SmartMedia are labelled as “3V” cards.

Loding the SmartMedia
TM
Check that the camera is switched off and then open
the slot cover in the direction of the arrow. Push the SmartMedia firmly into the SmartMedia slot
as far as it will go. Close the slot cover.
!
If you open the slot cover while the camera is switched
on, the camera is automatically switched off to protect the SmartMedia.
!
The SmartMedia will not slide fully into the slot if it is
inserted facing the wrong way. Be careful not to apply undue force to the SmartMedia.
Removing the SmartMedia
