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

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.

!
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.

Scene Group Shot
Use this frame when you want to position your main subject in center of the frame or when you want to align your shot with the horizon. This is the most effective frame for monitoring the size and balance of your subject when the shot involves motion.
!
The lines in the scene frame roughly divide the
recorded pixels into three equal parts horizontally and vertically. When the image is printed, the resulting print may be shifted slightly from the
28
scene frame.
Use this frame when you are shooting groups of 2 or more people. By composing the shot so that your subjects are as large as possible within the frame, the photograph will clearly show their facial expressions.
IMPORTANT
Always use AF/AE lock to compose your shot. If you do not use AF/AE lock, your subject may be out of focus.
Portrait
(Vertical shot frame)
Use this frame for basic portrait photography. Fit the subject's face into one of the 3 frames to shoot a close-up portrait (large frame), a head and shoulders shot (middle frame), or a half-body shot (small frame).

USING THE FLASH

You can choose from 5 flash modes to suit your shot. Each time you press the “e” flash button, the flash mode shown on the LCD monitor changes from Auto flash (no icon displayed) to “
o ” to “e ” to “p ” to “m ”. The last mode
displayed is the selected mode.
!
When the flash mode is set to Suppressed Flash, the
camera becomes ready to shoot more quickly after you switch it on.
!
If you switch from Suppressed Flash mode to
another flash mode, you may find that the displayed image disappears and the screen goes dark because the flash is charging. When this happens, the viewfinder lamp flashes orange.
34

Auto Flash (no icon)

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The flash fires automatically as required by the conditions.

o Red-Eye Reduction

Use this mode to ensure that the subject's eyes appear natural when photographing people in low­light conditions. The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture is taken and then fires again to take the actual picture.

e Forced Flash

Use this flash mode to photograph backlit scenes, such as a subject against a window or in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct colors when you are shooting under lighting such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.
Red-Eye Effect
When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-Eye Reduction flash mode to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect. Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction mode more effective:
Get the subjects to look at the camera.
Get as close as possible to the subjects.

MACRO (CLOSE-UP)PHOTOGRAPHY

Macro Photography allows you to take close-up pictures of subjects as close as 10 cms from the camera. Also, set the flash functions according to the given circumstances (P.34).

p Suppressed Flash

In this mode, the flash never fires. Use this mode when you are taking pictures in indoor lighting at distances too great for the flash to have any effect, such as theater performances or indoor sporting events. When you use Suppressed Flash, the Auto White Balance function (➡P.84) operates so that natural colors are captured along with the ambience of the available light.
!
If you want to take a picture in low-light conditions
with the flash mode set to Suppressed Flash, you should use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
!
See P.23 and P.79 for information on the camera
shake warning.

m Night Scenes (Slow Synchro)

This mode allows you to use the flash with a slow shutter speed. This mode allows you to take beautiful pictures that show your subject and still capture the background.
!
Because slow shutter speeds are used, you should
use a tripod to prevent camera shake.
!
If you use the viewfinder to take a picture in Macro
Photography, the field visible through the viewfinder does not match the field actually photographed because the viewfinder and lens are in different positions. For this reason, you should use the LCD monitor to take pictures in Macro Photography. The LCD monitor does not switch off in Macro Photography.
!
When shooting in dark conditions, use a tripod to
prevent camera shake.
!
If you are using the flash, ensure that you are at
least 0.2 meters from the subject.
!
You cannot use the optical zoom in Macro Photography,
but using the digital zoom is possible (P.38).

Macro Photography is cancelled when you switch
the camera off.

eBe sure to read this information in conjunction with before you use this product “Safety Notes”
(➡P.85) to ensure that you use your camera correctly.
Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations:
Very humid, dirty or dusty places
In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer. Extremely cold places
Places subject to strong vibrations
Places affected by smoke or steam
Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as places
near motors, transformers or magnets)
For long periods in contact with chemicals such as
pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products
Do not expose the camera to sand.
The FinePix1400 ZOOM is particularly and adversely affected by sand. In sandy locations such as beaches or deserts, or in locations where there is wind borne sand, ensure that the camera is not exposed to sand. This can cause faults that may be irreparable.
Notes on Condensation
If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When the viewfinder lamp is lit orange or flashing orange, this indicates that data access is in progress. Condensation
may also form on the SmartMedia card. In this event, remove the SmartMedia and wait a short time before using it again.
When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period, of time remove the batteries and the SmartMedia card before storing the camera.
Cleaning Your Camera
Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens and
LCD surface and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of Fujifilm lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.
Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily damaged.
Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do not
use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine or insecticide, as these may react with camera body and cause deformation or remove the coating.
When travelling overseas
Do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged internally even when no external damage is visible.
73

Notes on the Power Supply

Applicable Batteries

AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride), or Ni-Cd
batteries can be used with this camera. Do not use AA-size manganese or lithium batteries in your FinePix1400 ZOOM because the heat generated by the batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunctions.
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.

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below.
Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
Do not carry or store a battery with metal objects such as
necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact with the metal positive 5 and negative 4 poles of the battery.
Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and
take particular care to keep the terminals dry.
Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the
batteries.
Do not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.
Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to
strong impacts.
74
Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,
discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.
Do not store batteries in very warm or moist locations.
Keep the batteries out of the reach of babies and small
children.
When loading the batteries in the camera, ensure that the battery polarity (
Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. In
5
and 4) is as indicated on the camera.
the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries of different types or brands together.
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of
time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared.)
The batteries may feel warm immediately after being
used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera off and wait until the batteries cool down.
When replacing the batteries, always fit 4 new batteries. Here, 'new batteries' refers to either recently purchased unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-Cd or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride) batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.
Battery performance deteriorates at low temperatures (+10°C or below) and the time for which they can be used shortens. This is particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the warmer.
If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries. I
f any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly with water. Note that battery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets in your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.
Disposing of Batteries
When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.
Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MH
or Ni-Cd batteries)
Always use the special battery charger to charge AA-size
Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries. Charge the batteries as described in the instructions provided with the battery charger.
Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other
than those specified for use with the charger.
Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after
being charged.
Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries are not charged at shipment.
Be sure to charge the batteries before using them.
The camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute
amount of current even when the camera is switched off. Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries in the camera for a long period of time as they can become excessively discharged and no longer be usable even when charged.
Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries self-discharge even when not
used. Always charge Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries before using them. If the time for which a battery provides power shortens markedly when it has been correctly charged, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

Notes on Using the AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC-5V AC Power Adapter AC-5V (sold separately) with the FinePix1400 ZOOM Digital Camera. The use of an AC power adapter other than the AC-5V could result in damage to your camera.
Ensure that you do not touch the contact areas on the
AC power adapter against any other metal object as this could cause a short circuit.
Do not plug the AC power adapter into the DIGITAL
socket as this could damage your camera.
Do not plug in the AC power adapter while you are
operating the camera using batteries. Switch the camera off first.
Do not load the batteries while you are operating the
camera using the AC power adapter. Switch the camera off first.
If you disconnect the AC power adapter when there are
no batteries in the camera, the date and time settings will be lost and must be reset.
75
Notes on the SmartMedia
SmartMedia
The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix1400 ZOOM camera is a new image recording medium developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia card contains a built-in semiconductor memory chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for storing digital image data. Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image data can be erased from the card and new data recorded.
SmartMedia with IDs
The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia ID cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers for copyright protection or other purposes. This camera accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as conventional SmartMedia cards.
Storing Data
In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased (destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of recorded data. When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the owner or
a third party
When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity or
electrical noise
76
When the SmartMedia cover is opened or the
SmartMedia removed and the camera is then switched off during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back.
Back up important data onto another medium (MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.).
Notes on Handling SmartMedia
When inserting the card into the camera, hold the
SmartMedia straight as you push it in.
Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera off
during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back. These actions could result in damage to the SmartMedia.
Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the
FinePix1400 ZOOM. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera.
SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not
bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive shocks.
Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments likely to
be affected by strong static electricity or electrical noise.
Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or
corrosive environments.
Be careful not to touch the SmartMedia’s contact area or
allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.
To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use
the special static-free case provided during transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if available.
Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser
pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, therefore damaging the SmartMedia.
The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from
the camera after extended periods of picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static
electricity into your camera may result in a camera malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then on again.
Affix the label onto the designated area of the card. Do
not use third-party labels as this can lead to problems when the card is inserted or removed.
When you attach the label, take care that it does not
cover any of the write-protect area.
Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC
If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that has
been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on your camera.
When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and then
shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is automatically created. Image data is then recorded in this directory.
Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names or
file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your camera.
Always use the camera to erase image data on a
SmartMedia.
To edit image data, copy the image data to the
computer’s hard disk and then edit the copied data.

lock). If you want to change the composition of your shot after you set the exposure, you can get excellent results by using AF/AE lock before you compose your shot and take the picture.
If the camera is not used in any way for two minutes or more, the Auto Power Off function switches the camera off. This is to prevent battery depletion and to avoid wasting power when the camera is connected to the AC power adapter. Auto Power Off does not operate when the Auto Power Off function is disabled or a USB connection is used.
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how many prints are made of each image.
sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.
On the other hand, devices such as digital still cameras register a white subject as white by first adjusting their internal color balance to match the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment process is referred to as matching the white balance. A function that automatically matches the white balance is called an auto white balance function.
