Compatible batteries
Use AA-size alkaline batteries (2) or AA-size
nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries (2).
Notes on Handling Batteries
◆
hIt is recommended that you use same brand
of alkaline batteries as those supplied with the
camera.
Do not use different types of batteries or old
h
and new batteries together.
You cannot use lithium, manganese or nickel-
h
cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.
The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary
h
between brands and the life of batteries you
purchase may be shorter than the alkaline
batteries provided with the camera. Note also
that due to the nature of alkaline batteries, the
time for which they can be used is shorter in cold
locations (at temperatures of +10°C (+50°F) or
below). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries are
recommended.
Soiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of
h
batteries can greatly reduce the time for which
the batteries provide power.
You will need the optional charger (➡P.65) to
h
recharge Ni-MH batteries.
See P.68 for notes on using batteries.

Always use a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC3V (➡P.65).
Use the AC power adapter in situations when a
loss of power will cause problems, such as
during file downloading (via the USB

See P.70 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter
