Before You Begin

The Mode Dial

Introduction

O: Improve clarity, reduce noise, increase dynamic range, or let the camera automatically adjust settings to suit the scene (pg. 32).

k (AUTO): A simple “point-and-shoot” mode recommended for first-time users of digital cameras (pg. 14).

A (NATURAL & K): Helps ensure good results in situations with difficult lighting. Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes two shots: one shot without the flash to preserve natural lighting, followed immediately by a second shot with the flash (pg. 34).

P (PROGRAM AE): Select for full control over all camera settings except shutter speed (pg. 39). Choose between program and aperture-priority AE.

M (MANUAL): Select for full control over camera settings, including shutter speed and aperture (pg. 38).

A (MOVIE) : Record movies with sound (pg. 47).

SP (SCENE POSITION): Choose a scene suited to the subject or shooting conditions and let the camera do the rest (pg. 35).

B (NATURAL LIGHT): Capture natural light indoors, under low light, or where the flash can not be used (pg. 35).

B Tips: Using an AC Adapter

• The camera can be powered by an optional AC adapter and DC coupler (sold separately). See manuals provided with the AC adapter and DC coupler for details.

• If the camera is powered by an AC adapter, demo mode instructions will be displayed when the camera is turned on. Selecting this option starts a slide show. To cancel, press the shutter button.

C Cautions

• Do not affix stickers or other objects to the battery. Failure to observe this precaution could make it impossible to remove the battery from the camera.

• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.

• Use only battery chargers designated for use with the battery. Failure to observe this precaution could result in product malfunction.

• Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt to split or peel the outer casing.

• The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use. Charge the battery one or two days before use.

First Steps

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.

Write -prote ct switch

■■ Inserting a Me mory Card

Inserting a Me mory Card

Open the battery-chamber cover.

A Note

Inserting a Memory Card

C Caution

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

Close the battery-chamber cover.

Removing Memory Cards

After confirming that the camera is off, press the card in and then release it slowly. The card can now be removed by hand.

C Cautions

• The memory card may spring out if you remove your finger 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

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.
