LOADING THE BATTERIES AND THE MEDIA

Compatible batteries

h AA-size alkaline batteries (2) or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) (2).

Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

●

How to use the batteries

◆

h Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious

problems such as batteries fluid leakage or overheating:

1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings

2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries together

h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries. h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries can be

used. The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be

used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F to +50°F). The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason.

h Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries. h See P.70, 71 for other notes on using batteries. h When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH

batteries can be used may be shorter. See P.71 more information.

h When the surfaces of AA-size Ni-MH batteries terminals have become worn through repeated use or

the battery has been taken out of the camera and left for a long period, the battery may stop supplying power or may become usable only for shorter periods. To restore normal battery operation, open and close the battery cover several times to dislodge any soiling on the terminals.

◆

Outer casing

Check that the camera is turned off (viewfinder lamp is off) before opening the battery cover.

Opening the battery cover while the camera is on, the camera

●

is turned off.

Do not apply force to the battery cover.

●

Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on. This could damage the xD-Picture Card or ruin the image files on the xD-Picture Card.

How to replace the xD-Picture Card

◆

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check the battery charge.

Close the battery cover.

◆

Pull out the xD-Picture Card, taking care that the batteries do not fall out.

If the xD-Picture Card is difficult to remove, take out the

●

batteries first.

1There is ample battery charge. 2There is insufficient charge left in the batteries.

The batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteries ready.

3The batteries are depleted. The display will

shortly go blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or recharge the batteries.

“C” appears as a small icon on the right-hand side of the LCD monitor. “V” appears as a large icon on the LCD monitor.

Getting Ready

Load the batteries correctly as indicated by the

10 11

polarity icons.

Align the indicators on the xD-Picture Card slot and xD-Picture Card and then push the card firmly all the way into the slot.

If the xD-Picture Card is oriented incorrectly, it will not go all

●

the way into the slot. Do not apply force when inserting an xD-Picture Card.

The information above is a guide for Photography mode. Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries

●

used, the transition from “

Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold

●

locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.

✽ Battery level warning

1) The camera’s estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode. Consequently, even if “ to Photography mode.

2) Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly to happen when batteries that have run out of charge once are re-used.

In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.

Power save function

◆

When this function is active, it turns off the LCD monitor to reduce power consumption if the camera is not used for 30 seconds (➡P.47). If the camera is then left unused for 2 or 5 minutes, the Power save function turns the camera off. To restore power to the camera to take pictures, briefly close and then reopen the lens cover. To play back images, close the lens cover then hold down the “Playback” button for approx. 1 second.

Suppressed flash

Use this mode for taking pictures using indoor lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for photography in places such as theaters or at indoor sporting events where the distance is too great for the flash to be effective. In this situation, use the specified white balance (➡P.80) to take pictures that retain the atmosphere given by the ambient lighting.
