For Your Safety

Power Sup ply and Bat tery

* Confirm you r battery typ e before read-

ing the foll owing descriptio ns.

The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use of b atteries can cause shorter battery life, as well as leakage, e xcessive heat,  re or exp losion.

Camera uses the Rechargeable

Lithium-ion Battery

* When shipped, the battery is not

fully charged. Always charge the batter y before using it.

* When c arrying the bat tery, install it

in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

■ Battery Features

• The bat tery 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 ma ximize the life of the battery, turn the camera o as quickly as possible when it is not bein g used.

• Th e number of availabl e frames will be lower in col d locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged batter y. You can also increase the amount of power produced by put ting the battery in your pocke t 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 batter y directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted bat tery in cold conditions.

■ Ch arging t he Batter y

• You can charge the batter y using the battery charger (included).

- The battery can be charged

at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the time of charging battery.

- You should charge the bat tery

at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the batter y at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the batter y is impaired.

- You cannot charge the battery

at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

• The Rechargeable Lithium- ion Battery does not need to b e fully discharged or exhausted  at before being charged.

• The battery may feel warm af ter it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfe ctly 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 e ective life and should be replaced.

■ Notes on storage

• If a batter y is stored for lo ng periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired. If the batter y will not be us ed 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.

■ Ha ndling th e Batter y

Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:

• Do not carry or store bat tery with metal obje cts such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not heat the batter y or throw it into a  re.

• Do not attempt to take ap art or change the battery.

• Do not recharge the bat tery with chargers other those spe ci ed.

• Dispose of used batter y promptly.

• Do not drop the bat tery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.

• Do not expose the batter y to water.

• Always keep the batter y terminals clean.

• D o not store bat teries in hot places. 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.

Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH

(nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable 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  re.

• Do not carr y or store batteries with metal obje cts such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations.

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

• Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts.

• D o not use bat teries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.

For Your Safety

CAUTION

• Do not store batteries 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.

• D o not use new with used bat teries. Do not use charged and discharged bat teries together.

• Do not use di erent types or brands of batteries 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 left with the bat teries removed, the time and date set tings are cleared.

• The batteries feel warm right after being used. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera o 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 inside your garments before use. Batteries do not work well when cold. They will work again when the temperat ure returns to normal.

• Soil (such as  ngerprints) on the batter y terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a sof t dry cloth before loading.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the batter y compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

If any battery  uid comes into contact with your hands or clothing,  ush the area thoroughly with water. Note that batter y  uid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the  uid out with clean water and contact your physician for treatment.

■ Us ing the AA- size Ni-MH b atteries

correctly

• Ni- MH batter ies left unused in storage for long periods can be come “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH batteries that are only par tially discharged can cause them to su er from the “memory e ect”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or a ected by “memory” su er 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 m emory are spe-

ci c to Ni- MH batteries and are not in fact battery f aults.

See Owner’s Manual 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 separately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to make sure that the charger is used correctly.

• Do not use the bat tery 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 o . Note in particular that leaving Ni- MH batter ies 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 us ed, and the time for which the y can be used may be shortened as a result.

• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharge d (e.g. by discharging the batteries in a  ashlight). Use the “Discharg ing rechargeable batteries” function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

• Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. 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.

■ Disposing of Batteries

• When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

Notes on both models (1, 2)

■ AC Pow er Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter with the cam era. The use of an AC Power adapter other than FUJIFIL M 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 o the FUJIFILM Digital camera before disconnecting 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.

First Steps

Inserting a Memory Card

■■ Compatible Memory Cards

Write-protect switch

Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, optional 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 99). 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

SD and SDHC memory cards manufactured by FUJIFILM and SanDisk have been 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 xD-Picture Cards or with MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.

c Caution

SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting an SD 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 format ted 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 or after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 109.

• 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 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 SD memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed (4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.

• 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.
