Getting Ready

Charging the battery

◆

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 viewfinder lamp
does not turn red).
This is not a fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Batteries may
degrade when charged at high temperatures.
Leave the camera connected to the AC power adapter or set in its cradle, and charging will
automatically begin within 20 minutes.

Using the AC Power Adapter

Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing
power at inconvenient times, such as when
downloading photographed images to the
computer. You can take pictures and play back
images without worrying about depleting the
battery.

can also result in damage to the xD-Picture Card or
malfunctions during PC connection.

or fur

h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or

flames

h Dark subjects

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.

Red-eye effect

◆

When using the flash to take a picture of 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 minimize the likelihood of this 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.

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
an xD-Picture Card. The recorded specifications include information on which frames
are to be printed.

This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with the FinePix F450.
On the FinePix F450, you can specify only one print per image in the DPOF settings.

✽ Note that some printers do not support date and time imprinting or specification of the

number of prints.

✽ Note that the warnings shown below may be displayed while you are specifying the

prints.

When inserting an xD-Picture Card that contains images specified for printing by
another camera, those print specifications are all reset and replaced by the new print
specifications.

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.

close to water, make sure that the camera is not damaged
by water or sand. Take care not to place the camera on a
wet surface.

■ Damaged by Condensation

If the camera is carried 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, turn
the camera off and wait an hour before using the camera.

Condensation may also form on the xD-Picture card. In
this event, remove the xD-Picture card and wait a short
time.

■ When the Camera is Not Used or is
stored Periods of Time

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of
time, remove the battery and the xD-Picture card.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

h

Notes on the Power Supply

Notes on the Battery (NP-30

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery
NP-30. Note the points below when using the rechargeable
battery. Take particular care to read the Safety Notes to
make sure that you use the battery correctly.
✽ When shipped, the NP-30 is not fully charged. Always

charge the NP-30 before using it.

h When carrying the NP-30,

install it in a digital camera or
keep it in the hard case.

h When storing the NP-30,

place it inside the special
hard case provided.

■ Battery Features

h The NP-30 gradually loses its charge even when not

used. Use a NP-30 that has been charged recently (in
the last day or two) to take pictures.

h To maximize the life of the NP-30, turn the camera off as

quickly as possible when it is not being used.

h The number of available frames will be lower in cold

locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-30.
You can also increase the amount of power produced by
putting the NP-30 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-30 directly against the pad. The camera may not
operate if you use a depleted NP-30 in cold conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

h You can charge the battery using the camera and the AC

power adapter (included).
i The NP-30 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 2 hours to charge a fully depleted
NP-30 battery.

i You should charge the NP-30 at an ambient

temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and
+95°F). If you charge the NP-30 at a temperature
outside this range, charging takes longer because the
performance of the NP-30 is impaired.

)

Hard case

battery
(NP-30)

i You cannot charge the NP-30 at temperatures of 0°C

(+32°F) or below.

h The NP-30 does not need to be fully discharged or

exhausted flat before being charged.

h The NP-30 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-30.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-30 can be used at least
300 times.
If the time for which the NP-30 provides power shortens
markedly, this indicates that the NP-30 has reached the
end of its effective life and should be replaced.

Notes on storage

The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-30 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 out before storing it.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the batteries from the camera.

h Place the battery pack inside the hard 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 carry or store battery with metal objects such as

necklaces or hairpins.

h Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.
h Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery.
h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those

specified.

h Dispose of used battery 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 expose the battery to water.

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

h Always keep the battery terminals clean.
h Do not store battery in warm or humid places. 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. Use the AC power adapter supplied with the
camera if you are taking pictures or viewing images for
a long period of time.

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

Warning Displays eThe table below lists the warnings that are displayed on the LCD monitor.

■ Image Memory Card

h This Image Memory Card is a new image recording

media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital
cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a
semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory)
to record digital image data.
The recording process is electrically performed and
enables erasure of existing image data as well as re­recording of new image data.

h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card

that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format
the card with your digital camera before using it.

■ Protecting Your Data

h Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the

following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM
assumes no responsibility for data that is lost or
destroyed.

1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power
off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,
during record, erase, initialization, and playback
operations).

2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by
the user or third party.

h Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO

disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

■ Handling xD-Picture Card

h When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that

they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-
Picture Card could be swallowed cause suffocation.
If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek
medical attention or call emergency number right
away.

h When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the

camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you
push it in.

h Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not

apply pressure, and avoid bending.

h Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot humid

places.

h Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of

cloth when dirty.

h When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep

it in the special protective case.

h The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but

will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play
back images or movies. If this happens replace it
with a new xD-Picture Card.

h Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the

camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-
Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged
to the xD-Picture Card.

h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with

the FinePix F450.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
xD-Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.

h The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is

removed from the camera after taking pictures. This
is normal.

h Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling

labels can cause the camera not to work properly.

■ Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

h When taking pictures using an xD-Picture Card that

has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-Picture
Card using your camera for best quality.

h When formatting an xD-Picture Card, a directory

(folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.

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

names on the xD-Picture Card because this will
make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in
your camera.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on an

xD-Picture Card.

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

and edit the copy.

h Do not copy files other than those that will be used

by the camera.

AF/AE Lock

On the FinePix F450, 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 30 seconds, this function turns 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 turns the camera off. This period can be set to
2 or 5 minutes on this camera.
h The Auto power off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it 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 to be 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.

Frame rate (fps)

The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For
example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10
fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).

JPEG

Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss
of quality in the decompressed (restored) 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).

Smear

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light
source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

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

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.

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for
optimal printing.
