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.

3Close the battery cover.
!
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,
ensure that the new batteries are fitted within 60 minutes.

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.

!
When you press the shutter button, there is a very

short delay before the picture is actually taken.
!
Since the amount of image data recorded is not fixed

detail, etc.), the number of available shots may not
decrease after the image is recorded, or may
decrease by 2.

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).

■ Standard number of shots per SmartMedia™
The number of shots that can be recorded onto a SmartMedia card varies slightly depending on the type of
subject. Also, the difference between the standard number of shots and the actual number of available shots
increases for SmartMedia with a higher capacity.
