The following describes the proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use can shor ten battery life or cause leakag e, overheating,  re, or explosion.

Compatible Batteries

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

CAUTION

Using B atteries

For Your Safety

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

Cautions: Handling Batteries

• D o not use batterie s that are leaking, deformed, or discolored. Warning: If the batter ies leak, clean the b attery compartment thoroughly before inserting new batteries. If  uid from the batte ry comes into contac t with skin or clothing,  ush the a ected area with water. If  uid enters your eyes,

immed iately  ush the a ected area with water an d seek med ical at tention . Do not rub your ey es. Failu re to obser ve this pr ecautio n could resu lt in loss of eye sight.

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

• Do not disass emble or modify the batteries or batter y casing.

• Do not expose to strong physical shocks.

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

• Keep out of reach of infants and small children.

• Insert in the cor rect orientation.

• Do not mix old and new bat teries, batteries with di erent charge levels, or batteries of di erent 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 o and allow the batteries to cool b efore handling.

• Batter y capacity tends to decrease at low temperatures. Keep spare batteri es in a pocket or other war m 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 bat tery performance. Thoroughly clean the terminals with a sof t, dry cloth before ins erting the bat teries in the camera.

Ni-MH Ba tteries

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 malf unction. Capacity can b e increased by repeatedly discharging the bat teries using the P DISCHARGE option in the camera setup menu (pg. 107) and rechargin g them using a battery charger (sol d separately). Do not us e this option with alkaline batteries.

The camer a draws a small amount of current even when o . 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. B attery performance may also drop if th e batteries are run down in a devi ce such as a  ashli ght. Use the P DISCHARGE option in the camera setup menu to discharge NiMH batteries. Batteries that no lon-

ger hold a charge even after repeatedly being d ischarged and recharge d have reached th e end of their serv ice life and must be replaced.

Ni-MH bat teries can be recharged in a batter y charger (sold separately). Batteries may become warm to the touch af ter charging. Refer to the i nstructions provided with the charger for more information. Use the charger with compatible bat teries only.

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

Disposal

Dispose of used batteries in accord with local regulations.

AC Adapters (Available Separately)

Use only FUJIFI LM AC adapters desig nated for use wi th this camera. Oth er adapters could damage the camera.

• Th e AC adapter is for indoor us e only.

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

• Tur n the camera o before disconnectin g the adapter. Disconn ect the adapter by the p lug, 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

First Steps

Inserting a Memory Card

■■ Compatible Memory Cards

Write-protect 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, a 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 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 Memor y 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.

3 Caution

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.

• Do not turn the camera o or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted fro m the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

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