• 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 ofavailable 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 pro duced 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

the battery charger (included)

The battery can be charged

at ambient temperatures be

tween O°C and +40°C (+32%

and +104°F), Refer to the Owner's

Monuo/for the time of charging

battery

You should charge the battery

at an ambient temperature be

tween +10°C and +35°C (+50%

and +95%) 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%) or below

• The Rechargeable Lithium ion Bat tery does not need to be fully dis charged 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 bat tery carl 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

• Notesonstorage

• Ifa 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 cam

era,

• 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%) Do not leave the battery in hot or

extremely cold places

• Handling the Battery

CautionsforYourSafety:

• 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 other wise subject it to strong impacts

• Do not expose the battery to wa ter

• Always keep the battery terminals clean

• Do not store batteries in hot plac es. 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

For details on the batteries that

you can use, refer to the Owner's Monuol of your camera

• Cautionsfor UsingBattery

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

• Do not carry or store batteries with

metal obiects such as necklaces or hairpins

• Do not expose the batteries to wa ter, and keep batteries from getting

wet or stored in moist locations

• Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, including

• 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 f_el warm right aft

ter 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 in side 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 bat

teries charge less reducing the

number of images, Carefully wipe

the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading

z._lf any liquid at all leaks from

the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and

then load new batteries

z/_lf any battery fluid comes into

contact with your hands or clothing, flush the area thor

oughly 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 dean water and contact

your physician for treatment

• Usingthe AA-sizeNi-MHbatteries correctly

• NiMH batteries left unused in

storage for long periods can be come "deactivated" Also, repeat edly charging NiMH batteries that are only partially discharged

carl cause them to suffer from the "memory effect" Ni MH batteries

that are "deactivated" or affected

by "memory" suffer from the prob

lem 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 Monuo/for the proce

dure for "Discharging rechargeable

batteries"

_CAUTION Do not use the "Discharging re

chargeable batteries" function when alkaline batteries being used

• To charge Ni MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold sepa

rately), Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to make

sure that the charger is used cor recfly

• 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 con

strutted, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is

turned of L Note in particular that

leaving NiMH batteries in the camera for a long period will over discharge the batteries and may

render them unusable even after

recharging

• Ni MH batteries will serf 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 (eg,

by discharging the batteries in a flashlight). Use the "Discharging re chargeable battedes"function pro vided in the camera to discharge

the batteries

• Ni MH batteries have a limited service lif_, 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

• Disposingof Batteries

• When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local

waste disposal regulations

• A( Power Adapter

Always use the A( 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 Monuo/of your

camera

• Use the AC power adapter for in

door use only

• Plug the connection cord plug se

curdy into the DC input terminal,

• Turn offthe FUJIFILM Digital cam

era before disconnecting the cord from the DC input terminal To dis connect, 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.
