Loading the Batteries

Batteries are required to operate the digital camera. At first, load the batteries in the camera.

Z Compatible batteries

AA-size alkaline batteries (2) or AA-size Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (2) (sold separately)

CAUTION

• Never use the following types of batteries, as they could cause serious problems such as battery fluid leakage or overheating:

1.Batteries with split or peeling

outer casings

2.Combinations of different types

of batteries or new and used batteries together

• Do not use manganese, Ni-Cd or lithium batteries.

• Use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

Outer casing

1 Open the battery cover.

CHECK

Check that the camera is turned off before opening the battery cover.

CAUTION

• Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on. This could damage the Memory Card or ruin the image files on the Memory Card.

• Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Page 19

2 Load the batteries correctly as indicated by

the polarity icons.

CAUTION

Match the polarity icons (+ and ,) of the batteries to those on the inside of the battery cover.

3 Close the battery cover.

Getting Ready

Page 20

Loading the Batteries

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check the battery level indicator on the LCD monitor.

AThere is ample battery charge. (Not displayed) BThere is insufficient charge left in the batteries. The

batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteries ready. (Lit red)

CThe batteries are depleted. The display will shortly go

blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or recharge the batteries. (Blinking red)

CAUTION

• Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries, can shorten time for which the batteries can be used.

• The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used varies depending on the brand. Some brands of alkaline batteries may stop providing power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to + 10°C/+32°F to +50°F). For this reason, it is better to use AA-size NiMH batteries.

• Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level indicator ( , or V) may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations. Try warming the battery in your pocket or a similar location before use.

• Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly likely to happen when batteries that have run out of charge once are re-used.

• Depending on the camera mode, the transition from

to V may occur more quickly.

• See p.118-119 for information on the batteries.

• When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the amount of time which AA-size Ni-MH batteries can be used may be short. See p.119 for more information.

• Battery power consumption varies greatly depending on use. When you change to Playback mode from Photography mode, may not occur, however,

may suddenly blink red and the camera may stop

operation.

as a mirror or car body

• Subjects photographed through glass

• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur

• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames

• Dark subjects

• Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and the background (such as subjects dressed in the same color as the background)

• Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a background with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects use AF/AE lock (➝p.33).

CHECK

Flash cannot be used in the Baby mode.

[ PICTURE STABILIZATION]

(except FinePix A610)

This function is suitable for taking a pictures of moving subjects such as children or pets. Use this mode to select a fast shutter speed that reduces camera shake and moving-subject blurring.

d Setting the Flash (Intelligent Flash)

Flash photography is useful for taking pictures at night or indoor dark locations. Choose from 6 flash modes according to the type of shot. See p.55 for information on the available Photography modes.

MEMO

By calculating subject distance and brightness, the camera automatically adjusts the flash amount to suit shooting conditions. This maintains consistent balance of bright/dark areas across the image in low-light conditions (dimly-lit room, etc). The Intelligent Flash feature guarantees consistent results when using the flash.

The flash setting changes each time you press d(q).

MEMO

When pressing the shutter button down halfway, b appears on the LCD monitor before the flash fires.

[ AUTO FLASH] (not displayed)

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

[b RED EYE REDUCTION]

This mode is suitable for shooting portraits in low-light conditions. Use this mode to minimize red-eye (eyes appear in red in the finished photo). On the FinePix A920/FinePix A900/FinePix A825/FinePix A820/FinePix A800, you can set this mode as a shooting mode (p.48).

MEMO Red-eye effect

When using the flash to take a picture of people in lowlight conditions, eyes may sometimes appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye.

[d FORCED FLASH]

Use this mode in backlit scenes, or to get the correct colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

[C SUPPRESSED FLASH]

This mode is suitab le for situations where the flash ca nnot be used. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake when shooting in Suppressed flash mode in the dark condition. Any time, flash does not fire.

[c SLOW SYNCHRO], [n RED EYE & SLOW]

This mode allows you to take pictures of people at night that clearly show both your subjects and the night time backdrop. To prevent camera shake, always use a tripod. Using n synchronizes Red-eye reduction mode. Using 8 selects slow shutter speeds of up to 3 seconds.

Page 55

CAUTION

In bright scenes, overexposure may occur.

CHECK

Effective flash range ( : [AUTO])

Wide-angle: Approx. 60 cm to 3.9 m (2.0 ft. to 12.8 ft.) Telephoto: Approx. 60 cm to 1.8 m (2.0 ft. to 5.9 ft.)

Wide-angle: Approx. 50 cm to 3.8 m (1.6 ft. to 12.5 ft.) Telephoto: Approx. 60 cm to 2.0 m (2.0 ft. to 6.6 ft.)

CAUTION Notes on using flash

• If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging

(indicator lamp blinking orange), the picture will be taken without the flash (when using [AUTO] and b).

• The flash charging time may increase when the

batteries are low on charge.

• When taking a picture using the flash, the image may

disappear and go dark briefly due to flash charging. The indicator lamp blinks orange during charging.
