SELECTING THE POWER SUPPLY

●

!

Use only the designated batteries. Batteries other than
AA-size Ni-MH or Ni-Cd batteries cannot be recharged
in the BC-NH.

●

!

Attempting to charge batteries other than those specified
for use with the charger (such as manganese, alkaline or
lithium batteries) can cause the batteries to burst or leak.
This could result in a fire or injury and consequent
damage to the surroundings.

Load the rechargeable batteries into the battery
charger as indicated on the label.

● AA-size Ni-MH batteries

Fujifilm HR-3UF : 2 (supplied with the camera
or sold separately)

● AA-size Ni-Cd batteries

Fujifilm KR-3UF: 4 (sold separately)

◆Batteries that Can Be Charged◆

Using Batteries

● It is also possible to take some shots using

alkaline batteries if you use the viewfinder
(➡P.24). However, due to the nature of
alkaline batteries, they can only be used for
extremely short periods and they may not
work at all in cold conditions.

● Lithium or manganese batteries should not be

used at all as they emit heat and can damage
the camera.

● Do not use old and new batteries together.

TAKING PICTURES (AUTO MODE)

Press the shutter button down half way. The
image is focused when the AF frame on the LCD
monitor becomes smaller and the shutter speed
and aperture setting appear (and the green
viewfinder lamp stops blinking and remains lit).

●

!

When you press the shutter button down halfway,
the video image on the LCD monitor freezes briefly.
However, this is not the image that is recorded.

●

To take the picture, press the shutter button
down fully without lifting your finger off it. The
camera beeps and takes the picture, and the
data is then recorded.

When you take a picture, the viewfinder lamp lights
orange (camera not ready) before switching back to
green to indicate that the camera is again ready for
shooting.

●

!

The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while the flash is
charging.

●

!

Since the amount of image data recorded is not fixed
and varies depending on the subject (level of image
detail, etc.), the number of available shots may not
decrease after the image is recorded, or may
decrease by 2.

AF (AUTOFOCUS) /AE (AUTOEXPOSURE) LOCK

◆

On the FinePix4700 ZOOM, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and
exposure settings (AF and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the
frame or change the picture composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by
changing the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.

Keep the shutter button held down half way (AF
and AE locked) and check that the AF frame is
smaller and that the shutter speed and aperture
settings are displayed (and that the green
viewfinder lamp has stopped blinking and
remains lit).

●

!

You can reapply the AF/AE lock as many times as
you like before releasing the shutter.

●

!

The AF/AE lock operates in all photography modes
and can be used to ensure excellent results.

With the shutter button still held down halfway
(AF lock), move the camera back to the original
image and press the shutter button down fully.

Important

◆

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.

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.

Use this frame for 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).

●

!

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 scene frame.
