For Your Safety
Power Supp ly and Batter y
* Confirm you r batter y typ e before read -
ing the foll owing description s.
The following explains proper use of
batteries and how to prolong their
life. Incorrect use of batteries can
cause shor ter battery life, as well as
leakage, e xcessive heat, fire or exp losion.
1
Camera uses the Rechargeable
Lithium-ion Battery
* When shipped, the batter y is not
fully charged. Always charge the
battery before using it.
* When carrying the bat tery, 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 batter y that has been charged
recently (in the last day or two) to
take pictures.
• To maximize the life of the batter y,
turn the camera of f as quickly as
possible when it is not being used.
• Th e number of availabl e 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 put ting the batter y 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.
■ C harging th e Batter y
• Charging times will increase at ambient temperatures below +10 °C
(+50 °F) or above +35 °C (+95 °F).
Do not attempt to charge the battery at temperatures above 40 °C
(+104 °F); at temperatures below
0 °C (+32 °F), the battery will not
charge.
• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted f lat before
being charged.
• The bat tery 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 ef fective life
and should be replaced.
■ Notes on storage
• If a batter y is stored for lo ng periods
while charge d, 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 bat tery from the camera.
• Store the batter y in a cool place.
- The battery 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
extremely cold places.
■ H andling th e Batter y
Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:
• Do not carr y or store battery 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 battery with
chargers other those specified.
• Dispose of used battery promptly.
• Do not drop the battery 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 batteries in hot places. Also, if you use the battery for
a long period, the camera body
and the bat tery 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.
2
Camera uses AA Alkaline,
Rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal
hydride) or AA lithium batteries
* For details on the batteries that
you can use, refer to the Owner’s
Manual of your camera.
■ C autions fo r Using Bat tery
• 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 bat teries from get ting
wet or stored in moist locations.
• Do not attempt to take apart or
change the batteries, including
battery casings.
• Do not subject the bat teries to
strong impacts.
• Do not use bat teries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.
• Do not store bat teries 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.

For Your Safety
• Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged batteries together.
• Do not use dif ferent types or
brands of bat teries at the same
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 lef t
with the batteries removed, the
time and date set tings are cleared.
• The bat teries feel warm right after
being used. Before removing the
batteries, turn the camera off and
wait for the batteries to cool down.
• 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 soft
dry cloth before loading.
If any liquid at all leaks from
the batteries, wipe the bat tery
compartment thoroughly and
then load new batteries.
If any battery 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 contac t
your physician for treatment.
■ Us ing the AA-s ize Ni-MH bat teries
correctly
• Ni-MH bat teries left unused in
storage for long periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH batteries
that are only par tially discharged
can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effect”. Ni-MH batteries
that are “deactivated” or af fected
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 rechargeable
batteries”.
CAUTION
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 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 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 bat teries 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 bat tery 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
CAUTION: When disp osing of batter-
ies, do so in accordance with your
local waste disposal regulations.

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 of f the FUJIFILM Digital camera before disconnec ting 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

Inserting a Memory Card
3 Cautions
• 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 fro m 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 page 91.
• 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 movies.
• Formatting a memory card 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; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
