◆

When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the self-timer lamp does not turn red). This is not a camera fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Battery may degrade when charged at high temperatures. Leave the camera connected to the AC power adapter, and charging will automatically begin within 30 minutes.

when the camera is off. Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the camera is on temporarily interrupts the power supply to the camera, so that images or movies being shot are not recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first can also result in damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment

Subjects not suitable for autofocus

◆

FinePix F11 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing on the following:

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 Dark subjects h Fast moving subjects h Subjects with little or no contrast between the

subject and the background (such as white

Use the LCD monitor to frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Autofocus) frame.

The image shown on the LCD monitor before the picture is

●

taken may differ in brightness, color, etc. from the image actually recorded. Play back the recorded image to check it (➡P.27).

Press the shutter button down halfway. When a short double-beep is heard, the camera focuses on your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor becomes smaller and the camera sets the shutter speed and aperture. The indicator lamp (green) changes from blinking to lit.

When a short double-beep is not heard and “{” appears on

the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

Pressing the shutter button down halfway freezes the image

When “{” appears on the LCD monitor (the shooting

condition is too dark to focus on the subjects etc.), press again the shutter button down halfway or try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.

Press the shutter button down fully. When a clicking sound is heard, the camera records the image.

There is a slight delay between the shutter button being

the camera takes the picture without the AF frame changing.

Press the shutter button down halfway in dimly lit conditions. The camera fires the AF-assist illuminator (green) to allow easier focusing. Note that the effective range decreases for telephoto shots.

Even when the AF-assist illuminator fires, the camera may

The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also,

the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.
