Inserting a Memory Card

■

Compatible Memory Cards

Write -prote ct 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, d 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 81). 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.

C 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.

First Steps

Page 18

Inserting a Memory Card

C Cautions

• Do no t turn the camera off or remo ve the memory card

while the memo ry card is being format ted or data are being recorded to or del eted from the card. Failure to observe

this precaution could damage the card.

• Format SD memory cards before first 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 89.

• 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 affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.

• 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 files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming files, 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. 22) 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 reflective object.

• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than reflect light, such as hair or fur.

• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.

• 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).

K Using the Flash (Super Intelligent Flash)

Mode

Description

When the flash is used, the camera’s Super Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the camera. Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed while preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.

Choose a flash mode.

Press the selector right (K). The flash mode changes each time the selector is pressed; in modes other than 4, the current mode is indicated by an icon in the display. Choose from the following options:

Mode

4 (AUTO FLASH)

K (FORCED FLASH)

W (SUPPRESSED

FLASH)

T (SLOW SYNCHRO)

Description

The flash fires when required. Recommended in most situations. The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration when shooting in bright light. The flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit. 0 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 under low light (note that brightly lit scenes may be overexposed).

Page 37

K Using the Flash (Super Intelligent Flash)

Focus.

Press the shutter button halfway to focus. If the flash will fire, X will be displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. At slow shutter speeds, 0 will appear in the display to warn that pictures may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

Shoot.

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to shoot.

C Caution

The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection is active (pg. 20), and ON is selected for a RED EYE REMOVAL in the setup menu (pg. 87), red-eye removal is available in V, U, and Z. Red-eye removal minimizes “red-eye” caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject’s retinas as shown in the illustration at right.

J Using the Self-Timer

The camera offers a ten-second timer that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs, and a two-second timer that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed. The self-timer is available in all shooting modes.

Focus.

Press the shutter button halfway to focus.

C Caution

Page 39

J Using the Self-Timer

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink immediately before the picture is taken. If the twosecond 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. 20) is recommended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face Detection, turn Intelligent Face Detection on, 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.

A Note

The self-timer turns off automatically when the picture is taken, a different shooting mode is selected, playback mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.
