A7Auto Flash Mode

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The flash fires automatically as required by the shooting 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 to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect. Take the following measures to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective :

●

Get the subjects to look at the camera.

◆

●

Get as close as possible to the subjects.

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 a pre-flash just before the picture is taken and then fires again to take the actual picture.

Page 28

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

Slow Synchro

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter speed. This allows you to take pictures of people at night that clearly show both your subjects and the nighttime backdrop.

The image may be overexposed when you shoot

●

bright scenes.

Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod

●

should be used to prevent camera shake.

To take a picture of a main subject with night scene in background, please use the “y” (Night Scene) settings (➡ P.44) in “4 ” mode.

Suppressed Flash

]

Pressing the flash down switches the camera to Suppressed Flash mode. Use this mode for photography using indoor lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for photography in venues such as theaters or at indoor sporting events where the distance is too great for the flash to be effective. When you use Suppressed Flash, the Auto White Balance function (➡P.126) operates so that natural colors are captured along with the ambience of the available light.

If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark

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 FinePix4800 ZOOM.

Cap

Battery

Terminal

■Battery Features

●

The battery gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use a battery that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.

●

To maximize the battery life, switch the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

●

The number of available shots will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged battery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the battery in your pocket or another warm

place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a picture. If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the battery directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted battery in cold conditions.

■Charging the Battery

●

The battery can be charged using the AC-5V/AC-5VH (provided as an accessory or sold separately) AC Power Adapter supplied with the FinePix4800 ZOOM. The battery takes approximately 5 hours to charge. If you use the BC-80 Battery Charger (sold separately), the battery can be charged in approximately 70 minutes.

●

This rechargeable battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.

●

The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.

●

The battery can be charged at temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F), but should be charged between +10°C and +30°C (+50°F and +86°F) to obtain maximum battery performance.

●

Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

■

Battery Life

At normal temperatures, this battery can be used at least 300 times. If the time for which the battery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

Notes on storage

Lithium ion batteries are both compact and capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if they are stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired.

●

If the battery will not be used for some time, run the battery flat before storing it.

●

If the battery is kept in storage for a long period, charge the battery and then run it flat again at least once a year.

●

Always remove the battery from the digital camera or battery charger when it is not being used. Left installed, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become excessively drained and no longer function.

●

Attach the cap and store in a cool place.

✽ The battery should be stored in a dry location with an

ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

✽ Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

■Handling the Battery

To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:

●

Do not allow the metal portions of the battery to touch other metal objects.

●

Do not bring the battery close to a flame or throw it into a fire.

●

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.

To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its life, observe the following:

●

Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.

●

Do not immerse the battery in water.

To ensure that you obtain optimum battery performance, observe the following:

●

Always keep the battery terminals clean.

●

Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten the battery life.

✽

These specifications are subject to change without notice.

FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this Owner’s Manual.

✽

The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, small bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the monitor. These are normal display characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor. This phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image.

✽ The operation error may be caused in a digital camera

by the strong radio interference (i. e. electric fields, static electricity, line noise, etc.).

Explanation of Terms

Safety Notes

AF/AE Lock:

On the FinePix4800 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.

Auto Power Save Function:

If the camera is not used in any way for 15 seconds, this function switches features such as the LCD monitor off (Sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused for a further period, the Auto Power Save function switches the camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera.

●

Auto Power Save does not operate during automatic playback, when a USB connection is being used or if the Auto Power Save function is disabled during setup.

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).

WAVE:

This is the standard Windows file format for recording sound. The file extension is “WAV”, and the data itself is recorded either as PCM or as a compressed recording. This camera uses PCM recording. The files can be played back as follows: Windows: Use the accessories supplied with the operating

Macintosh: Use the applications supplied with the operating

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.
