Inserting a Memory Card

■■ Compatible Memory Cards

Write-protect switch

Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, optional xD-Picture Cards and SD memory cards (sold separately) can be used to store additional pictures.

When no memory card is inserted, a 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 78). 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 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).

3 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.

Write -prote ct switch

■■ Inserting a Memory Card

Inserting a Me mory Card

Open the battery-chamber cover.

1 Note

Be sure the camera is o before opening the battery-chamber cover.

Insert the memory card.

Holding the memory card in the orientation shown below, slide it all the way in.

Gold contacts

Be sure card is in correct orientation; do not insert at an angle or use force.

Inserting a Memory Card

Close the battery-chamber cover.

Removing Memory Cards

After con rming that the camera is o , press the card in and then release it slowly. The card can now be removed by hand.

3 Cautions

• The memory card may spring out if you remove your  nger immediately after pushing the card in.

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

First Steps

Page 24

Inserting a Memory Card

3 Cautions

• 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 fro m the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

• Format SD memory cards before  rst 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 88.

• 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 a x 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 both type M and 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  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.

• 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 , 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.

• Use FinePixViewer to copy voice memos.

• 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.

Disconnec ting 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.

Updating FinePixViewer

The latest version of FinePixViewer can be downloaded from http://www.fujifilm.com/.

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 Tra sh in the Finder menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and use “Programs and Features” (Windows Vista) or “Add or Remove Programs” (other versions of Windows) to uninstall FinePixViewer, FinePix Resource, and FinePix Studio. Under Windows, one or more con rmation dialogs may be displayed; read the contents carefully before clicking OK.

ISO

Control the camera’s sensitivity to light. Higher values can be used to re duce blur when lighting is poor; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at settings above 1600. If AUTO or an option such as AUTO (3200) is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions. In the case of AUTO (3200), AUTO (160 0), AUTO (800), and AUTO (400), the value in parentheses is the maximum sensitivity that will be selected when the subject is poorly lit.

Settings other than AUTO are

DYNAMIC RANGE

Control contrast. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and deep shade or for increased contrast when photographing such subjects as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves, and portraits taken against a blue sky; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at higher values. If AUTO is selected, the camera will automatically select values between 100% and 400% in response to shooting conditions.
