Inserting the Batteries
Battery casing
Battery casing
The camera takes two AA alkaline (LR6) batteries (supplied) , two lithium batteries (sold separately) or two AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (sold separately). Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.
Open the battery-chamber cover.
1
First Steps
1 Note
Be sure the camera is o before opening the battery­chamber cover.
3 Cautions
• Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the camera is on. Failure to observe this pre­caution could result in damage to image  les or memory cards.
• Do not use excessive force when handling the battery-chamber cover.
Insert the batteries.
2
Insert the batteries in the orientation shown by the “+“ and “–“ marks inside the battery chamber.
4
Close the battery-chamber cover.
3
3 Cautions
• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.
Never use batteries with peel-
ing or damaged casing or mix old and new batteries, batter­ies with di erent charge levels, or batteries of di erent types.
Failure to observe these precautions could re­sult in the batteries leaking or overheating.
Never use manganese or Ni-Cd. Replace AA alkaline batteries with batteries of the same make and grade as those supplied with the camera.
If the battery-chamber cover can not be latched easily,
con rm the battery orientation  rst. Do not use exces­sive force to latch it.

Inserting a Memory Card
■■ Compatible Memory Cards
Write-protect switch
Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) can be used to store additional pictures.
When no memory card is inserted, q 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 60). 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
SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. 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 MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture cards.
3 Caution
Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting a memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked posi­tion.

Page 13
Inserting a Memory Card
3 Cautions
• Format memory cards before  rst use or after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 69.
• 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 o 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 a x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of 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  les. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming  les, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

Autofocus
Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofocus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use focus lock (pg. 18) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.
• Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.
• Fast-moving subjects.
• Subjects photographed through a window or other re ective object.
• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than re ect light, such as hair or fur.
• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or  ame.
• Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color as the background).
• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for example, a subject photographed against a backdrop of highly contrasting elements).

To choose a  ash mode, press the selector right (T). The  ash mode changes each time the selector is pressed; in modes other than AUTO, the current mode is indi­cated by an icon in the monitor.

U (slow sync)
W (slow sync with

As above, except that red-eye reduction is used to minimize “red-eye ” caused by light from the  ash re ecting from the subject’s retinas as shown in the illustra­tion at right.
The  ash  res whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration when shooting in bright light. The  ash does not  re even when the subject is poorly lit. b will appear in the monitor at slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a tripod is recommended.
Capture both the main subject and the background when shooting at night (note that brightly lit scenes may be overexposed). W combines slow sync with red-eye reduction. If I is selected for A SHOOTING MODE, shutter speed may be slow. Use a tripod.
Description
If the  ash will  re, K will be displayed in the monitor when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink immediately before the picture is taken. If the two-second timer is selected, the self-timer lamp will blink as the timer counts down.
Intelligent Face Detection
Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 15) is recom­mended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face Detection, set the timer as described in Step 1 and then press the shutter button all the way down to start the timer. The camera will detect faces while the timer is counting down and adjust focus and exposure immedi­ately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to move until the picture has been recorded.

3 Cautions
• Use only memory cards that have been formatted in the camera and contain pictures taken with the camera. If a memory card containing a large num­ber of images is inserted, there may be a delay before FinePixViewer starts and FinePixViewer may be un­able to import or save images. Use a memory card reader to transfer pictures.
• Make sure the indicator lamp is out before turning the camera o or disconnecting the USB cable. Failure to observe this precaution could result in loss of data or damage to internal memory or the memory card.
• Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing memory cards.
• In some cases, it may not be possible to access pic­tures saved to a network server using FinePixViewer in the same way as on a standalone computer.
• The user bears all applicable fees charged by the phone company or Internet service provider when using services that require an Internet connection.
Disconnecting the Camera
After con rming that the indicator lamp is out, follow the on-screen instructions to turn the camera o and disconnect the USB cable.
Uninstalling FinePixViewer
Only uninstall FinePixViewer before reinstalling the software or when it is no longer required. After quit­ting FinePixViewer and disconnecting the camera, drag the “FinePixViewer” folder from “Applications” into the Trash and select Empty Trash in the Finder menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and use “Programs and Features” (Windows Vista) or “Add/Re­move Programs” (other versions of Windows) to un­install FinePixViewer. Under Windows, one or more con rmation dialogs may be displayed; read the con­tents carefully before clicking OK.

Caring for the Camera
Storage and Use
■■ Water and Sand
■■ Condensation
Cleaning
Travelling
To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.
Storage and Use
If the camera will not be used for an extended pe­riod, remove the batteries and memory card. Do not store or use the camera in locations that are:
• exposed to rain, steam, or smoke
• very humid or extremely dusty
• exposed to direct sunlight or very high tempera­tures, such as in a closed vehicle on a sunny day
• extremely cold
• subject to strong vibration
• exposed to strong magnetic  elds, such as near a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emit­ter, motor, transformer, or magnet
• in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesti­cides
• next to rubber or vinyl products
Water and Sand
Exposure to water and sand can also damage the camera and its internal circuitry and mechanisms. When using the camera at the beach or seaside, avoid exposing the camera to water or sand. Do not place the camera on a wet surface.
Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur when entering a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the camera. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour be­fore turning it on again. If condensation forms on the memory card, remove the card and wait for the condensation to dissipate.
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and monitor, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning pa­per to which a small amount of lens-cleaning  uid has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the lens or monitor. The camera body can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Tra vel li ng
Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage. Checked baggage may su er violent shocks that could damage the camera.

Glossary
Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details vis­ible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
Discharge: The capacity of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will drop if they are repeatedly charged without  rst be­ing fully discharged. Full capacity can be restored by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the o DIS- CHARGE option in the camera setup menu and recharging them using a battery charger (sold separately).
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders” stored in internal memory or on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to be printed and the number of copies of each picture.
EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering the camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.
Exif Print: A standard that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproduction dur­ing printing.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed  le format for color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.
Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format that stores images and sound in a single  le, with the images recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG  les can be played in QuickTime 3.0 or later.
Smear: A phenomenon speci c to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources, such
Appendix
as the sun or re ected sunlight, appear in the frame.
White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objects that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This process is known as “white balance.”
