Introduction

Before You Begin

The Mode Dial

To select a shooting mode, align the mode icon with the mark next to the mode dial.

Introduction

A (NATURAL & K): Helps ensure good results in situations with difficult lighting. Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes two shots: one shot without the flash to preserve natural lighting, followed immediately by a second shot with the flash (pg. 33).

(AUTO): A simple “point-andshoot” mode recommended for firsttime users of digital cameras (pg. 15).

(SCENE RECOGNITION): Simply by pointing the camera at the subject, the camera analyzes the scene (using scene recognition), and automatically sele cts the appropriate mode (pg.32).

M (MANUAL ): Choose this mode for manual control over a wide variety of camera settings (pg. 37).

B (NATURAL LIGHT): Capture natural light indoors, under low light, or where the flash can not be used (pg. 34).

F (Aperture-Priority/Shutter-Priority Auto): Adjust shutter speed or aperture

manually to freeze or blur motion or control depth of field (pg. 37).

A (MOVIE): Record short movies with sound (pg. 47).

(Scene Position): Choose a scene suited to the subject or shooting conditions and let the camera do the rest (pg. 34).

• Do not affix stickers or other objects to the battery. Failure to observe this precaution could make it impossible to remove the battery from the camera.

• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.

• Read the cautions on page v.

• Use only NP-50 batteries. Failure to observe this precaution could result in product malfunction.

• Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt to split or peel the outer casing.

• The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use. Charge the battery one or two days before use.

• Do not use NP-50 batteries in devices designed for NP-40 batteries. You will not be able to remove the battery from the device.

C Cautions: Using the Battery Charger

• Unplug the charger when it is not in use.

• Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth. Failure to observe this precaution could prevent the battery from charging.

• Charging times increase at low temperatures.

• Use with a UL-certified SPT-2 AWG 18 power cable rated for 300V/10A with a molded non-polarized parallelbladed NEMA 1-15 plug rated for 125V/7 A. The cable should be no less than 1.2m (4ft.) and no more than 3m (10ft.) in length.

C Caution

Turn the camera off before removing the battery.

B Tip: Using an AC Adapter

The camera can be powered by an optional AC-5VX AC adapter equipped with a CP-50 DC coupler (available separately). See the AC-5VX and CP-50 manuals for details.

Inserting a Memory Card

Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, optional xD-Picture Cards or SD memory cards can be used to store additional pictures.

When no memory card is inserted, d appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become corrupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and saved on the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in internal memory can also be copied to a memory card (see page 80). To prevent internal memory from becoming full, be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.

When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.

■ Compatible Memory Cards

xD-Picture Cards and SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the F60fd. A complete list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/ digital_cameras/index.html. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used with multimedia cards.

C Caution

SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting an SD memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked position.

• Memory cards may be warm to the touch after being removed from the camera. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Inserting a Memory Card

C Cautions

• Format SD memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 90.

• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical assistance immediately.

• Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.

•FUJIFILM xD-Picture Cards are recommended. Results can not be guaranteed with xD-Picture Cards from other manufacturers. The camera can be used with type M, type M+ or type H xD-Picture Cards; note, however, that type H cards are not compatible with the optional DPC-UD1 xD-Picture Card USB drive. The card type can be determined from the model number: for example, “DPC-M2GB” indicates a type M card.

• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD memory card.

• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.

• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename image files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
