For Your Safety

Power Supply and Battery

*Confirm your battery type before reading the following descriptions.

The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use of batteries can cause shorter battery life, as well as leakage, excessive heat, fire or explosion.

1Camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

* When shipped, the battery is not fully charged. Always charge the battery before using it.

*When carrying the battery, install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

■ Battery Features

•The battery gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use a battery that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.

•To maximize the life of the battery, 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 battery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the battery in your pocket or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a picture.

If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the battery directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted battery in cold conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

• 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 battery at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the battery is impaired.

-You cannot charge the battery 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 after 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 300 times. If the time for which the battery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

■ Notes on storage

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

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

•Store the battery in a cool place.

-The battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

-Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

■Handling the Battery Cautions for Your Safety:

•Do not carry or store battery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

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

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

•Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those specified.

•Dispose of used battery promptly.

•Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.

•Do not expose the battery to water.

•Always keep the battery terminals clean.

•Do not store batteries in hot places. Also, if you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal. Use the AC power adapter if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

2Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries

* For details on the batteries that you can use, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera.

■ Cautions for Using Battery

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

•Do not carry 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.

vi

For Your Safety

•Do 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 polarity (Cand D) is correct.

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

•Do not use different types or brands of batteries at the same time.

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

•The batteries feel warm right after being used. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off and wait for the batteries to cool down.

•Since batteries 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 battery terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading.

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

If any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, flush 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.

■Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly

•Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially discharged can cause them to suffer from the “memory effect”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” 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 specific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults.

See Owner’s Manual for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable batteries”.

CAUTION

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

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

•Do not use the battery charger to charge other batteries.

•Note that the batteries feel warm after being charged.

•Due to the way the camera is constructed, 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 used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result.

•Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate

rapidly if over-discharged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in a flashlight). Use the “Discharging 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.

3Notes on both models ( 1 , 2 )

■AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than FUJIFILM 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 off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before disconnecting the cord from the DC input 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 Electronic 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 TMONITOR SUNLIGHT MODE option in the setup menu (P102).

Inserting a Memory Card

■ 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.

cMemory 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 “KFORMAT” (P100).

•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 Gcard 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.
