Using Batteries

The following describes the proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use can shorten battery life or cause leakage, overheating, fi re, or explosion.

Compatible Batteries

The camera takes AA alkaline, rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride), or UL-certifi ed lithium batteries. Do not use manganese, nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), or non-UL certifi ed lithium batteries, as the heat generated by these batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunction.

iv

For Your Safety

Battery capacity varies with make and storage conditions. Some com- mercially-available batteries may have less capacity than the batteries provided with the camera.

Cautions: Handling Batteries

•Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, or discolored. Warning: If the batteries leak, clean the battery compartment thoroughly before inserting new batteries. If fl uid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothing, fl ush the affected area with water. Iffluidentersyoureyes, immediately flush the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes. Failure to observe this precaution could result in loss of eyesight.

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

•Do not disassemble or modify the batteries or battery casing.

•Do not expose to strong physical shocks.

•Do not expose to water, fl ame, or heat, or store in warm or humid conditions.

•Keep out of reach of infants and small children.

•Insert in the correct orientation.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, batteries with different charge levels, or batteries of different types.

•If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries. Note that the camera clock will be reset (pg. 14).

•The batteries may be warm to the touch immediately after use. Turn

the camera off and allow the batteries to cool before handling.

•Battery capacity tends to decrease at low temperatures. Keep spare batteries in a pocket or other warm place and exchange as necessary. Cold batteries may recover some of their charge when warmed.

•Fingerprints and other foreign matter on the battery terminals can reduce battery performance. Thoroughly clean the terminals with a soft, dry cloth before inserting the batteries in the camera.

Ni-MH Batteries

The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced when new, after long periods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Capacity can be increased by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the PDISCHARGE option in the camera setup menu (pg. 107) and recharging them using a battery charger (sold separately). Do not use this option with alkaline batteries.

The camera draws a small amount of current even when off. Ni-MH batteries that have been left in the camera for an extended period may be drawn down to the point that they no longer hold a charge. Battery performance may also drop if the batteries are run down in a device such as a fl ashlight. Use the PDISCHARGE option in the camera setup menu to discharge NiMH batteries. Batteries that no lon-

ger hold a charge even after repeatedly being discharged and recharged have reached the end of their service life and must be replaced.

Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery charger (sold separately). Batteries may become warm to the touch after charging. Refer to the instructions provided with the charger for more information. Use the charger with compatible batteries only.

Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their charge when not in use.

Disposal

Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulations.

AC Adapters (Available Separately)

Use only FUJIFILM AC adapters designated for use with this camera. Other adapters could damage the camera.

•The AC adapter is for indoor use only.

•Be sure the DC plug is securely connected to the camera.

•Turn the camera off before disconnecting the adapter. Disconnect the adapter by the plug, not the cable.

•Do not use with other devices.

•Do not disassemble.

•Do not expose to high heat and humidity.

•Do not subject to strong physical shocks.

•The AC adapter may hum or become hot to the touch during use. This is normal.

•If the AC adapter causes radio interference, reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Using the Camera

To ensure that images are recorded correctly, do not subject the camera to impact or physical shocks while images are being recorded.

Electrical Interference

This camera may interfere with hospital or aviation equipment. Consult with hospital or airline staff before using the camera in a hospital or on an aircraft.

Liquid Crystal

In the event that the monitor or electronic viewfi nder is damaged, care should be taken to avoid contact with liquid crystal. Take the urgent action indicated should any of the following situations arise:

•If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin, clean the area with a cloth and then wash thoroughly with soap and running water.

•If liquid crystal enters your eyes, fl ush the affected eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical assistance.

•If liquid crystal is swallowed, rinse your mouth thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting, then seek medical assistance.

Take Test Shots

Before taking photographs on important occasions (such as at weddings or before taking the camera on a trip), take a test shot and view the result to ensure that the camera is functioning normally. FUJIFILM Corporation can not accept liability for damages or lost profi ts incurred as a result of product malfunction.

Battery casing

Inserting the Batteries

The camera takes four AA alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. A set of four alkaline batteries is supplied with the camera. Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.

1 Open the battery-chamber cover.

Slide the battery-cham- ber latch in the direction shown and open the bat- tery-chamber cover.

1Note

Be sure the camera is off be-

fore opening the battery-chamber cover.

3Cautions

•Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the camera is on. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to image fi les or memory cards.

•Do not use excessive force when handling the battery-chamber cover.

2 Insert the batteries.

Insert the batteries in the orientation shown by the “+“ and “–“ marks inside the battery chamber.

3Cautions

• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.

• Never use batteries with peeling or damaged casing or mix old and new batteries, batter- ies with different charge levels,

or batteries of different types. Failure to observe these precautions could result in the batteries leaking or overheating.

•Never use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.

•The capacity of alkaline batteries varies with the manufacturer and drops at temperatures below 10 °C/32 °F; Ni-MH batteries are recommended.

•Fingerprints and other soil on the battery terminals can shorten battery life.

Inserting a Memory Card

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, aappears 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 94). 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 multimedia or xD-Picture cards.

3Caution

Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting a memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked position.

Inserting a Memory Card

3Cautions

•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 memory cards before fi rst 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 105.

•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 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 fi les. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming fi les, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
