Using the AC Power Adapter

Use the AC power adapter to avoid losing
power at inconvenient times, such as when
downloading photographed images to the
computer. You can take pictures and play back
images without worrying about depleting the
battery.

h Compatible AC power adapters

AC-5VW (included)
AC-5VH (sold separately)

!

Always use the FUJIFILM products listed on the left.

●

!

See P.116 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

●

!

Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when

●

the camera is off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter
while the camera is on temporarily interrupts the power
supply to the camera, so that images or movies being
shot are not recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first
can also result in damage to the xD-Picture Card or
malfunctions during PC connection.

long period with the batteries removed, settings such as the
date and time are cleared. Once the AC power adapter has
been connected or the battery has been fitted for 2 hours or
more, the camera settings will be retained for roughly 6 hours
even if both sources of camera power are removed.

As well as taking pictures in the
STD aspect ratio of 4:3, WIDE
shooting also provides an aspect
ratio of 16:9.
Images with a 16:9 aspect ratio
are obtained by trimming the top
and bottom edges off a STD
image. As a result, the quality
setting automatically changes
when WIDE shots are taken.

Subjects not suitable for autofocus

The FinePix F710 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have AF frame
difficulty focusing on the following:

h Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body
h Subjects photographed through glass
h Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
h Dark subjects
h Fast moving subjects
h Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject

and the background (such as white walls or subjects
dressed in the same color as the background)

subject fills the entire AF (Autofocus) frame.

!

The image on the LCD monitor before the picture is taken

●

may differ in brightness, color, etc. from the image actually
recorded. Play back the recorded image to check it (➡P.29).

!

The subject may sometimes be difficult to see clearly on the

●

LCD monitor (in bright sunlight or dimly lit scenes, etc.). If so,
use the viewfinder to take the picture.

Press the Shutter button down halfway. The
camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on
your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor
becomes smaller and the camera sets the shutter
speed and aperture (the viewfinder lamp (green)
stops blinking and remains lit).

!

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and “{”

●

appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.

!

Pressing the Shutter button down halfway freezes the image

on the LCD monitor briefly. This is not the recorded image.

!

If “{” appears on the LCD monitor (e.g. the shot is too dark

●

for the camera to focus), stand about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from your
subject to take the picture.

When the flash will fire, “¨” appears on the LCD
monitor.

To take the picture, press the Shutter button down
fully without lifting your finger off. The camera clicks
and takes the picture. The data is then recorded.

!

There is a slight delay between the Shutter button being

●

pressed and the picture being taken. Playback the shot to
check the image.

!

When pressing the Shutter button down fully in one motion,

●

the camera takes the shot without the AF frame changing.

!

When the camera takes the picture, the viewfinder lamp lights

orange (shooting disabled). The viewfinder lamp then turns
green and the next picture can be taken.

!

The viewfinder lamp blinks orange while the flash is charging.

■ Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card

The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The larger the
xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also,

the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may
remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.

STILL PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

FOCUSING (DISTANCE

STILL PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

)

EXPOSURE (SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE

)

The distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance.
When the shooting distance is set correctly and the image appears sharp, the image is focused.

■ Two Focusing Methods: AF and MF.

The mechanisms for focusing are AF (Autofocus) and MF (manual focus).
AF: In this mode, the camera automatically focuses on the subject in the AF frame or the subject

at or near the center of the image. The camera focuses when the Shutter button is pressed
down halfway.

MF: The focus is set manually. See P.62 for details.

■ Causes of focusing errors and the solutions

The subject is not in the AF frame.

Cause Solution

The subject is not suited to AF.
The subject is outside the shooting range.
The subject is moving too quickly. Use MF (pre-setting the shooting distance for a shot )

✽1 Taking pictures using AF lock

halfway to focus.

Recompose the shot and take the picture.Capture the subject

7.5 cm-80 cm
(3.0 in.-2.6 ft.)

Exposure refers to the light that hits the CCD or the total amount of captured light and determines
the brightness of the image.
The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (Auto­exposure), the camera determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the brightness
of the subject and the sensitivity setting.

The graph at left shows the way the aperture and shutter speed settings can
be changed while maintaining the same exposure level.

h When the aperture is decreased by one step, the shutter speed also

decreases by one step (the dot moves upper left).

h When the aperture is increased by one step, the shutter speed also

increases by one step (the dot moves lower right).

h Combinations that result in the shutter speed or aperture being outside the

available range of settings cannot be selected (white dots).

N”, “M” and “<” photography modes, it is easy to select different

h In the “

settings along this line.

h Selecting settings that run parallel to this line by adjusting the brightness of

the photographed image is referred to as exposure compensation.

When you cannot get the correct exposure

◆

Exposure compensation:

This function uses the exposure level set by the AE
function as a reference (0) and then brightens (+) or
darkens (–) the image. By selecting Auto bracketing,
you can shoot 3 frames, one underexposed (–), one at
the reference exposure (0) and one overexposed (+).

◆

(–) (0) (+)

Shutter speed

When shooting a moving subject, you can either “freeze the motion” or “capture the sense of
movement” by adjusting the shutter speed.

You can use the menus for more detailed settings (➡P.53-63, 82).

The table below provides a number of sample settings. You can achieve any number of other
effects by using the settings effectively. Try changing different settings to see what kind of shots you
can take.
