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.73). If the camera is then left unused for a further period (2 minutes or 5 minutes), the Auto Power
Save function automatically switches the camera off. To switch the camera back on, set the Power
switch to “OFF” briefly and then back to “

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 playback
images without worrying about depleting the
battery.

h Compatible AC power adapters

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

!

Use only the FUJIFILM products listed on the left.

●

!

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 xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC
connection.

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

The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The
larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available frames and the
number shown here. Also, the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject so that the number of available
shots may not decrease when a shot is taken, or may decrease by 2. Consequently, the actual number of shots that can be
recorded may be higher or lower than the figure shown.

On the FinePix F610, when you press the Shutter button down half way, the focus and exposure
settings are fixed (AF/AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is off to one side of the image or if
you want to set the exposure before you compose the final shot, lock the AF and AE settings and then
compose and shoot your picture to get the best results.

The AF/AE lock operates in all photography modes and can

●

be used to ensure excellent results.

◆

Use this frame with the main subject positioned at
the intersection of two lines or align one of the
horizontal lines with the horizon.
This frame allows you to compose your own
shots while remaining aware of the subject's size
and the balance of the shot.
