For Your Safety

Power S upply and Bat tery

* Confi rm your bat tery ty pe before r ead-

ing the follo wing descriptions .

The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use of batteries can cause shor ter batter y life, as well as leakage, e xcessive heat, fire or expl osion.

Camera uses the Rechargeable

Lithium-ion Battery

* When shipped, the bat tery is not

fully charged. Always charge the battery before using it .

* When c arrying the bat tery, install it

in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

■ Battery Features

• The bat tery gr adually loses its charge even when not used. Use a batter y that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.

• To maximize the life of the bat tery, turn the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

• The number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged bat tery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by put ting the battery in your pocket or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a pic ture.

If you are using a heating pad, take

care not to place th e batter y directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted bat tery in cold conditions.

■ Ch arging th e Batter y

• You can charge the battery using the battery charger (included ).

- The battery can be charged

at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the time of charging battery.

- You should charge the battery

at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the batter y at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the battery is impaired.

- You cannot charge the b attery

at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.

• The battery may feel warm af ter it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.

• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the battery can be used at least 30 0 times. If the time for which the bat tery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its ef fective life and should be replaced.

■ Notes on storage

• If a battery is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the batter y can be impaired. If the battery will not be used for som e time, run the batter y out before storing it.

• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the bat tery from the camera.

• Store the batter y in a cool place.

- The batter y should be stored in

a dry location with an ambient temperature b etween +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

- Do not leave the batter y in hot or

extrem ely cold places.

■ Ha ndling th e Battery

Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:

• Do not carr y or store bat tery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not heat the batter y or throw it into a fire.

• Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery.

• Do not recharge the bat tery with chargers other those specified.

• Dispose of used battery promptly.

• Do not drop the bat tery or otherwise subjec t it to strong impacts.

• Do not expose the battery to water.

• Always keep the batter y terminals clean.

• Do not store bat teries in hot places. Also, if you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the bat tery it self will b ecome warm. This is n ormal. Use the AC power adapter if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH

(nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries

* For details on the b atteries that

you can use, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camer a.

■ C autions fo r Using Batt ery

• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

• Do not carr y or store batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations.

• Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, including battery casings.

• Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts.

Page 7

For Your Safety

CAUTION

• D o not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.

• Do not store batteries in warm or humid places.

• Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.

• Make sure that the battery polarit y (C and D) is correct.

• Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged bat teries together.

• Do not use different types or brands of bat teries at the s ame time.

• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the bat teries from the camera. Note if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date set tings are cleared.

• The batteries feel warm right af ter being used. B efore removing the batteries, turn the camera of f and wait for the b atteries to cool dow n.

• Since bat teries do not work well in cold weather or locations, warm the batteries by placing them inside your garments before use. Batteries do not work well when cold. They will work again when the temperature returns to normal.

• Soil (such as fingerprints) on the batter y terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a sof t dry cloth b efore loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wip e the battery compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

If any batter y fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, f lush the area thoroughly with water. Note that battery fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.

■ Us ing the AA-s ize Ni-MH bat teries

correctly

• Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can be come “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH bat teries that are only par tially discharged can cause them to suffer from the “memory effec t”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivate d” or affected by “memory” suffer from the problem of only providing power for a short time after being charged. To prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them several times using the camera’s “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function.

Deactivation and memory are spe-

cific to Ni- MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults.

See Owner’s Manual for the proce-

dure for “Discharging rechargea ble batteries”.

CAUTION

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function when alkaline bat teries being used.

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to th e instruc tions supplied with the charger to make sure that the charger is used correctly.

• Do not use the bat tery charger to charge other batteries.

• Note that the batteries feel warm after being charged.

• Due to the way the camera is construc ted, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.

• Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not use d, and the time for which they can be used may b e shortened as a result.

• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharge d (e.g. by discharging th e batteries in a flashlig ht). Use the “D ischarging rechargeable batteries” function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

• Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a battery can only be used for a short time even after repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have reached the end of its service life.

■ Disposing of Batteries

• When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

Notes on both models (1, 2)

■ AC Pow er Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than FUJIFIL M AC Power Adapter can be damaged to your digital camera. For details on the AC power adapter, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera.

• Use the AC power adapter for indoor use only.

• Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input terminal.

• Turn of f the FUJIFILM Digital camera before dis connecting the cord from the DC inp ut terminal. To disconnect, pull out the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.

• Do not use the AC power adapter with any device other than your camera.

• During use, the AC power adapter will become hot to the touch. This is normal.

Introduction

The Electro nic Viewfinder (EVF)

The electronic viewfinder provides the same information as the monitor, and can be used when bright lighting conditions make the display in the monitor difficult to see. Press EVF/LCD button to select from the auto switch, monitor, or electric view finder mode. When the auto switch mode is set, the electric view finder turns on automatically when you put your eye to the view finder, and the monitor turns on when you take your eye away (note that the eye sensor may not respond if you are wearing glasses or your head is an angle to the camera).

Eye sensor

The camera is equipped with diopter adjustment to accommodate individual differences in vision. Slide the diopter adjustment control up and down until the viewfinder display is in sharp focus.

Bright Ambient Lighting

Reflections and glare caused by bright ambient lighting may make it hard to see the display in the monitor, particularly when the camera is used outdoors. This can be addressed by holding the EVF/LCD button to trigger outdoor mode. Outdoor mode can also be enabled using the T MONITOR SUNLIGHT MODE option in the setup menu (P 102).

Page 28

Inserting a Memory Card

■ ■ Compatible Memory Cards

Compatible Memory Cards

FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards have been approved for use in the camera. A complete list of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/ digital_cameras/compatibility/. Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used with xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.

c Memory Cards

• Do not turn the camera off 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.

• Format SD/SDHC/SDXC 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 “K FORMAT” (P 100 ).

• 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.

• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD/SDHC/SDXC 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/SDHC/SDXC memory card. Use a G card or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.

• 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.

PRO FOCUS

The camera takes up to three shots each time the shutter button is pressed, softening the background to emphasize the main subject. The amount of softening can be adjusted before shooting by rotating the command dial. Use for portraits or photos of flowers similar to those produced by SLR cameras.

Softening can not be applied to background objects that are too close to the main subject. If a message stating that the camera can not create the effect is displayed when the camera focuses, try backing away from your subject and zooming in. The camera may also be unable to soften the background if the subject is moving; if prompted, check the results and try again.

PRO LOW-LIGHT

Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera makes four exposures and combines them into a single photograph. Use to reduce noise and blur when photographing poorly lit subjects or static subjects at high zoom ratios.

A single combined photograph may not be created with some scenes or if the subject or camera moves during shooting. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.
