PREFACE

LOADING THE BATTERIES

2

Attach the shoulder strap to the strap mounts on
the camera. Once you have attached both ends
of the strap, check carefully to ensure that the
strap is firmly secured.

!

Failure to attach the shoulder strap correctly can

●

result in the camera being dropped.

12

Attach the Lens Cap

To prevent the lens cap from appearing in the
shot when you take pictures, attach the lens cap
to the shoulder strap.

Compatible batteries

Use AA-size alkaline batteries (4 pcs.) or AA-size
nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries (4 pcs.).

✽ You cannot use lithium, manganese or nickel-

cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.

Notes on Handling Batteries

◆

h Do not use different types of batteries or old

and new batteries together.

h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary

between brands and the life of the batteries
may be shorter than the alkaline batteries
provided with the camera. Note also that due to
the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for
which they can be used is shorter in cold
locations (at temperatures of +10°C or below),
so the use of Ni-MH batteries is recommended.

h Soiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of

batteries can greatly reduce the time for
which the batteries provide power.

h You will need the optional battery charger

(➡P.75) to recharge Ni-MH batteries.

h See P.78 for notes on using batteries.

◆

Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover.

●

!

Take care not to drop the batteries when you open or

●

close the battery cover.

!

The settings are retained for approximately 60 minutes after

●

the batteries are removed. To keep the current settings,

AC power adapter (optional)

Always use a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-5V.
Use the AC power adapter in situations when a loss
of power will cause problems, such as during file
downloading (via the USB connection). Using the
AC power adapter also allows you to take pictures
and play back images without worrying about
depleting the batteries.

h Compatible AC power adapters

Model: AC-5VH/AC-5VHS

AC-5VH

!

See P.80 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

●

!

Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter

●

when the camera is switched off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter
while the camera is switched on temporarily
interrupts the power supply to the camera, so that
images or movies being shot at the time are not
recorded. Failing to switch the camera off first can
also result in damage to the SmartMedia or
malfunctions during PC connection.

Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the
AC power adapter connector into the “DC IN 5V”
socket and then plug the AC power adapter into
the power outlet.

!

Install the equipment near a socket outlet for easy

●

accessibility.

!

The shapes of the AC power adapter, the plug and

●

socket-outlet depend on the country.

Connecting the AC power adapter does not
allow you to charge the Ni-MH batteries. Use the
optional battery charger (➡P.75) to charge the
Ni-MH batteries.

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

◆

◆

Though the FinePix2800 ZOOM uses an accurate
autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty
focusing or not be able to focus at all for the types
of subject and situation listed below. In such
cases, the image may be out of focus.

h Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body.
h Subjects photographed through glass.
h Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair

or fur.

h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or

flames.

h When the subject is distant and dark.
h When there is very little contrast between the

subject and the background (such as white
walls or subjects dressed in the same color as
the background).

h When a subject other than your main subject

is close to the AF frame, has good contrast
and is in front of or behind your main subject
(such as a strongly contrasting person
standing out against the background).

h Subjects moving at high speed.

In situations of this sort, use the AF/AE lock
(➡P.26).

Auto Flash Mode

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The

Red-Eye Reduction

:

Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes
appear natural when photographing people in
low-light conditions. The flash fires automatically
as required by the photography conditions.
The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture
is taken and then fires again to take the actual
picture.

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 to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.
Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective :

●

Get the subjects to look at the camera.

DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format and refers to a format that is used for
recording printing specifications for images shot using a digital camera on media such as
SmartMedia. The recorded specifications include information on which frames are to be
printed and how many prints of each frame are required.

This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with the FinePix2800
ZOOM. On the FinePix2800 ZOOM, you can specify only one print per image in the
DPOF settings.

✽ Note that some printers do not support date and time imprinting or specification of the

number of prints.

✽ Note that the warnings shown below may be displayed while you are specifying the

prints.

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

e

Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.92), to ensure that you use
your camera correctly.

■ Places to Avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of
locations:

h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.

h Extremely cold places.
h Places subject to strong vibration.
h Places affected by smoke or steam.
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near

motors, transformers or magnets).

h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to

rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

■ Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand

The FinePix2800 ZOOM is particularly adversely affected
by water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to
water, ensure that the camera is not exposed to water or
sand. Take care also not to place the camera on a wet
surface. Water or sand inside the camera 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 this occurs,
switch the camera off and wait an hour before using the
camera. 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

h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces, 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.

h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily
damaged.

h 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.

■ Using the Camera Overseas

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.

Notes on the Power Supply

Applicable Batteries

h AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be

used with this camera.
Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium batteries in your
FinePix2800 ZOOM because the heat generated by the
batteries could damage the camera or cause
malfunctions.

h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between

brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be

shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the

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.

h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
h Do not carry or store the batteries with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into

contact with the metal positive = and negative - poles

of the battery.

h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and

take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.
h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

h Do not use the batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

h Do not store the batteries in very warm or moist locations.
h Keep the batteries out of reach of infant and young

children.
When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the

h

battery polarity (

h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. In

the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged
and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries
of different types or brands together.

h 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.)

h 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.

h

Here, 'new batteries' refers to either recently purchased
unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride)
batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.

h

In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below),
battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they
can be used shortens markedly. 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.

=

and -) is as indicated on the camera.

h

Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can
markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully
wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before
loading the batteries.

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 into 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

batteries)

h Always use the special battery charger to charge AA-size

Ni-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described in the
instructions provided with the battery charger.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other

than those specified for use with the charger.

h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after

being charged.

h Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to

charge the batteries before using them.

h 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 batteries in the
camera for a long period of time as they can become

excessively discharged and may no longer be usable
even when charged.

h Ni-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used.

Always charge Ni-MH 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.

h Soiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH

batteries can greatly reduce the number of available
shots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefully
with a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge in
the batteries and recharge them.

h Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have been

left unused for an extended period may not be fully
charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display of
the battery low warning or a low number of available
shots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries and
does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and using
the batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normal
condition.

h If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH battery before it is fully

discharged, it will suffer from the "memory effect"*,
causing the battery low warning to appear while there is
still ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore the
batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge
in the batteries before recharging them.

✽ Memory effect: A phenomenon affecting the battery

characteristics such that the apparent
battery capacity decreases.

Notes on Using the AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC-5VH/AC-5VHS AC Power Adapter with
the FinePix2800 ZOOM Camera.
The use of an AC power adapter other than the AC-5VH/
AC-5VHS could result in damage to your FinePix2800
ZOOM Digital Camera.
h This AC power adapter is designed exclusively for indoor

use.

h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input

terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

h Turn off the power switch of the FUJIFILM Digital camera

before disconnecting the connection cord from the
FUJIFILM Digital camera’s DC input terminal. To
disconnect, take hold of the plug and pull it out (do not
disconnect it by pulling on the cord).

h Do not use this AC power adapter with any device except

■SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix2800
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

✽ When the SmartMedia cover is opened or the

SmartMedia removed, or when the camera is
switched off during data recording, during data
erasing/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

h Take care to hold the SmartMedia straight when you

load it into your camera.

h 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.

h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the

FinePix2800 ZOOM. The use of other SmartMedia
could damage the camera.

h SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not

bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive
shocks.

h Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments

likely to be affected by strong static electricity or
electrical noise.

h Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or

corrosive environments.

h Take care 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.

h 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.

Notes on the SmartMedia

™

Warning Displays eThe table below lists the warnings that are displayed on the screen

h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a

trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to
excessive force when you sit down, thereby
damaging the SmartMedia.

h 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.

h 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.

h 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.

h 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

h If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that

has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on
your camera.

h 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.

h 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.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on a

SmartMedia.

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s

hard disk and then edit the copied data.

Be sure to use your PC’s disk eject function
(right-click the removable disk icon in the “My
Computer” window and then click “Eject”) when
you eject a SmartMedia from the PC card reader
or PC card adapter.
When you are using a USB connection, you
should also select and left-click the eject button
for “USB disc/mass storage” in the taskbar.
If you do not use the correct eject procedure,
the SmartMedia may be damaged due to write­behind caching.

DPOF: Digital Print Order Format
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.

EV:

A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and 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.

JPEG:

Joint Photographics Experts Group
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.

Motion JPEG:

A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in
the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.

PC Card:

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.

PC Card Standard:

A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.

PCMCIA:

Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).

White Balance:

Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other
hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit
the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance. A
function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.
