SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

✽ See P.78-79 for information

on selecting the language.

DC IN 5V socket

Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the AC power adapter connector into the DC IN 5V socket on the camera and then plug the adapter itself into the main power outlet. The self timer lamp lights (blue) and battery charging begins. When charging is completed, the self-timer lamp switches off. A fully discharged battery takes roughly 3 hours to fully recharge (at an ambient temperature of +21°C to +25°C (+70°F to +77°F)).

Using the AC Power Adapter

Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing power at inconvenient times, such as when you are downloading photographed images to your computer. Using the AC power adapter also allows you to take pictures and play back images without worrying about depleting the battery.

hCompatible AC power adapters

AC-5VS/AC-5VHS/AC-5VH

Use only the FUJIFILM products listed above.

●

See P.94 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.

Charging times increase at low temperatures.

●

If the self-timer lamp flashes during charging, a charging

●

error has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. If this occurs, see P.100.

Switching the camera on during charging interrupts the

●

charging.

You can charge the battery more quickly by using the

●

BC-60 Battery Charger (sold separately) (➡P.89).

The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the

●

country of use.

You’ve read the chapter on getting ready and the camera is now set up and ready to take pictures. The Basic Photography section explains the three basic steps of “taking pictures”, “viewing pictures” and “erasing pictures”. Master the basic steps by actually trying them out on the camera as you go.

Set the Mode switch to “q”. When you are taking shots using the viewfinder, you can make the battery last longer by pressing the “DISP” button to switch the LCD monitor off. (Note that you cannot switch the LCD monitor off in Macro mode.)

hPhotography range: Approx. 60 cm (2 ft.) to infinity

If a “∂”, “ƒ”, “å” or

●

˙” message appears, see P.97, 98.

“

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the camera with both hands. Position the thumb of your right hand so that it is handy for using the zoom.

For subjects closer than 60 cm (2 ft.), use Macro

●

photography (➡P.31).

Use the viewfinder to take pictures (switch the LCD

●

monitor off) to make the battery last longer.

The image will be blurred if the camera moves when

●

taking the picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera shake, particularly for shots in dark locations when the flash is set to Suppressed Flash mode.

Take care to hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do not cover the lens, flash or flash control sensor. If the lens, flash or flash control sensor is obscured by your fingers or the camera strap, you may not be able to obtain the correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.

There may be some unevenness in the brightness at

●

the lower edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not indicate a fault. This does not affect the photographed image.

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the

●

lens as described on P.91.

If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when

●

it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image due to the flash reflecting off the dust particles or snowflakes. Try taking the shot with the flash switched off.

To zoom in on the subject, press “a” (PTELE). To zoom out, press “b” ({WIDE). A “zoom bar” appears on the LCD monitor when you zoom in or out.

Optical zoom focal length

Approx. 38 mm-114 mm (1.5 in. to 4.5 in.) Maximum zoom scale: 3×

AF frame

Viewfinder

Using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, frame your shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto Focus) frame.

If your subject is not in the center of the picture, use

●

AF/AE lock to take the picture (➡P.27).

When you are using the viewfinder to take a picture at a distance of 0.6 m to 1.5 m (2.0 ft. to

4.9 ft.), only the shaded area in the figure is photographed.

To center the photographed area accurately, you

●

should use the LCD monitor to take the shot.

In some conditions it may be difficult to see your

●

subject clearly on the LCD monitor (such as in sunny weather outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit scenes). In such situations, use the viewfinder to take the shot.

The image shown on the LCD monitor before you

●

take the shot may differ in its brightness, color, etc. from the image actually recorded. If necessary, play back the recorded image to check it (➡P.35).

Bebeep

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your subject (the viewfinder lamp (green) changes from blinking to steady). At that point, the AF frame on the LCD monitor becomes smaller and the camera sets the shutter speed and aperture.

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “V”

●

appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the image

●

on the screen freezes temporarily. However, this image is not the recorded image. If “V” is displayed on the screen (e.g. the shot is too dark for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.

If you press the shutter button down fully without releasing it, the camera makes a clicking noise and takes the picture. The camera then records the photographed image.

You can adjust the volume of the camera operation

●

noises (“bebeep” and “ click”) or switch them off altogether in the SET–UP menu (➡P.78, 79).

There is a slight delay between the shutter button

●

being pressed and the shot being taken. If necessary, play back the shot to check the image.

If you press the shutter button down fully in one motion,

●

the shot is taken without the AF frame changing.

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.

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.

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:

g POWER SAVE

Connection

The “Connection” section explains how to connect the camera to your computer using the special USB cable and describes the functions you can use once the camera and computer are connected. Refer

also to the Software Quick Start Guide booklet.

If the power cuts out during data transmission, the data cannot be transmitted correctly. Always use the AC power adapter when connecting the camera to a computer.

IN CONNECTION

Once you enable this function, the monitor is temporarily switched off to reduce power consumption (Sleep mode) if the camera is not used for about 30 seconds. If the camera is then left unused for a further time (2 minutes or 5 minutes), it is automatically switched off. Use this function when you want to get the maximum possible running time from the battery.

Power Save is disabled when the camera is connected

●

to a USB port.

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.108), to ensure that you use

your camera correctly.

■ Places to Avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations:

h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places. h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.

h Extremely cold places. h Places subject to strong vibration. h Places affected by smoke or steam. h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near

motors, transformers or magnets).

h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to

rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

■ Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand

The FinePix F401 is particularly adversely affected by water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to water, ensure that the camera is not exposed to water or sand. Take care also not to place the camera on a wet surface. Water or sand inside the camera can cause faults that may be irreparable.

■ Notes on Condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour before using the camera. Condensation may also form on the SmartMedia

card. In this event, remove the SmartMedia and wait a short time before using it again.

■ When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the battery and the SmartMedia card before storing the camera.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces, and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.

h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily damaged.

h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do

not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine or insecticide, as these may react with camera body and cause deformation or remove the coating.

■ Using the Camera Overseas

When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged internally even when no external damage is visible.

Notes on Using the Battery (NP-60)

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60. Note the points below when using the rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly. ✽ When shipped, the NP-60 is not fully charged. Always

charge the NP-60 before using it.

h When carrying the NP-

60, install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

h When storing the NP-60,

place it inside the special soft case provided.

■ Battery Features

h The NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when not

used. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.

h To maximize the life of the NP-60, switch the camera

off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

h The number of available shots will be lower in cold

locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged NP-60. You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the NP-60 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 NP-60 directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted NP-60 in cold conditions.

Soft case

Battery (NP-60)

■ Charging the Battery

h You can charge the NP-60 using the AC Power

Adapter AC-5VS/AC-5VHS.

• The NP-60 can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately 3 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.

• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.

• You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

h You can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Charger

to charge the NP-60.

• The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 Battery Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32° F and +104° F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately 2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.

h The NP-60 does not need to be fully discharged or

exhausted flat before being charged.

h The NP-60 may feel warm after it has been charged or

immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.

h Do not recharge a fully charged NP-60.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-60 can be used at least 300 times. If the time for which the NP-60 provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-60 has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

Notes on storage

Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60 is both compact and capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if It is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired.

h If the battery will not be used for some time, run the

battery flat before storing it.

h Always remove the battery from the camera or battery

charger when it is not being used.

h Place the battery pack inside the soft case 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:

h Do not allow the metal portions of the battery to touch

other metal objects.

h Do not bring the battery close to a flame or throw it

into a fire.

h Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.

h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those

specified.

h Dispose of used batteries promptly.

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

h Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to

strong impacts.

h Do not immerse the battery in water.

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

h Always keep the battery terminals clean. h Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the

battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten the battery life.

If you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

■SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix F401 camera is a new image recording medium developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia card contains a built-in semiconductor memory chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for storing digital image data. Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image data can be erased from the card and new data recorded.

■SmartMedia with IDs

The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia ID cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers for copyright protection or other purposes. This camera accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as conventional SmartMedia cards.

■Storing Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased (destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of recorded data. ✽ When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the

owner or a third party

✽ When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity

or electrical noise

✽ When the battery cover is opened or the SmartMedia

removed and the camera is then switched off during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back.

You should always back up important files onto another media (MO disk, CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).

■Notes on Handling SmartMedia

h Take care to hold the SmartMedia straight when you

load it into your camera.

h Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera

off during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back. These actions could result in damage to the SmartMedia.

h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the

Notes on the SmartMedia

™

Warning Displays e The table below lists the warnings that are displayed on the LCD monitor

h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a

trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the SmartMedia.

h The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed

from the camera after extended periods of picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.

h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static

electricity into your camera may result in a camera malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then on again.

h Affix the label onto the designated area of the card.

Do not use third-party labels as this can lead to problems when the card is inserted or removed.

h When you attach the label, take care that it does not

cover any of the write-protect area.

■Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

h If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that

has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on your camera.

h When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and

then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is automatically created. Image data is then recorded in this directory.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names

or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your camera.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on a

SmartMedia.

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s

hard disk and then edit the copied data.

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 Value. 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:

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera. WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software: Windows : MediaPlayer Macintosh: QuickTime Player

✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later

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.
