When the battery runs flat, the “C” is displayed and the camera automatically stops operating. When this occurs, the

●

camera may continue operating if you switch it back on even if you haven’t loaded a new or fully charged battery.
However, this may cause malfunctions that could lead to camera damage, such as the camera shutting down without
retracting the lens. Always load a new or fully charged battery.

!

Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations.

●

This is normal and does not indicate a fault. We recommend that you warm the battery in your pocket or a similar
location before use.

Power Save Function

If the camera is not used in any way for approx. 30 seconds when the camera functions are enabled, this
function temporarily switches features such as the LCD monitor off to reduce power consumption
(

➡P.84). If the camera is then left unused for a further period (2 minutes or 5 minutes), the Power Save
function automatically switches the camera off. To switch the camera back on, slide the Power switch to

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

Though the FinePix F410 uses an accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty focusing or not be able
to focus at all on the types of subject and situation listed below. In such cases, the image may be out of focus.

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 When the subject is dark.
h When there is very little contrast between the subject

and the background (such as white walls or subjects
dressed in the same color as the background).

■ Standard number of shots per xD-Picture Card

This is the standard number of shots displayed for a new xD-Picture Card that was formatted on the

available shots may not decrease when recording ends, or may decrease by 2 frames. The
discrepancy between the standard number of available shots and the actual number of available shots
increases in proportion to the capacity of the xD-Picture Card.

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 :

h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

Forced Flash

Use this mode to photograph backlit scenes,
such as a subject against a window or in the
