hHandling Your Digital Camera

h This camera contains precision electronic components.

To ensure that images are recorded correctly, do not
subject the camera to impact or shock while an image is
being recorded.

h Do not load or remove the SmartMedia while the camera

is switched on as this could destroy the data on the
SmartMedia. Switch the camera off before loading or
removing the SmartMedia.

hPlaces to Avoid

Do not use or store the camera in the following type of
locations:

h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
h Places subject to extreme temperature rises, such as in

direct sunlight or closed car in summer. Extremely cold
places.

Notes on the Power Supply

hApplicable Batteries

h LR6 AA-size alkaline batteries can be used with this

camera.

h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between

brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be
shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the
camera.

hNotes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,
become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions
given below.
h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that

the battery polarity (= and -) is as indicated on the
camera.

h Ensure that the camera is switched off when loading and

removing the batteries.

h Do not heat the batteries or throw into a fire.
h Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects such as

necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact with
the metal = and - poles of the batteries.

h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and

take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the batteries casing.
h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

h Do not use the batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

h Do not store the batteries in very warm or moist locations.
h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.

h Do not use new battery together with used battery. Do not

use batteries of different types or brands together.

h When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.

Here, ‘new batteries’ refers to either recently purchased
unused alkaline batteries.

h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C or below),

battery performance deteriorates and the time for which
they can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly
true of alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the
batteries in your pocket or a similar place to warm them
before loading them into the camera. If you use a body
warmer to warm the batteries, ensure that they are not in
direct contact with the warmer.

h If the battery terminals are soiled by fingerprints, etc., the

number of available shots declines markedly. Carefully
wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth before
loading them into the camera.

WARNING

Z

h If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the

battery compartment thoroughly and then load new
batteries.

h If any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or

clothing, flush 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 contact your physician for
treatment.

Notes on the SmartMedia

hSmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your camera is a new
image recording medium developed especially for use in
digital cameras. Each SmartMedia card contains a built-in
semiconductor memory chip (NAND flash memory) which is
used for storing digital image data. Because the data is
stored electronically, the stored image data can be deleted
from the card and new data recorded.

hSmartMedia with IDs

The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an individually
assigned identification number. SmartMedia ID cards can
be used with devices that use ID numbers for copyright
protection or other purposes. This camera accepts
SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as conventional
SmartMedia cards.

hStoring Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be deleted
(destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film (U.K.) Ltd.,
accepts no responsibility whatever for the loss (destruction)
of recorded data.
h When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the owner or

a third party.

h When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity or

electrical noise.

h When the SmartMedia slot cover is opened or the

SmartMedia removed and the camera is then switched off
during data recording, during data deleting (SmartMedia
formatting).

hNotes on Handling SmartMedia

h Take care to hold the SmartMedia straight when you load

it into your camera.

Camera TV Software Data

9

h Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera off

during data recording, during data deleting (SmartMedia
formatting). These actions could result in damage to the
SmartMedia.

h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the

camera. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the
camera.

h The SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not

bend, drop, or subject the SmartMedia to shocks.

h Do not use or store the SmartMedia in environment likely

to be affected by strong static electricity or electrical
noise.

h Do not use or store the SmartMedia in very hot, humid or

corrosive environment.

h Take care not to touch the SmartMedia's contact area or

allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth
to wipe away any soiling that does occur.

h To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use

the special static-free case provided during transportation
or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if
available.

h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static

electricity into your camera may result in a camera
malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then
on again.

h Do not carry the SmartMedia in locations such as a

trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to
excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the
SmartMedia.

h The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from

the camera after extended periods of picture taking or
image viewing. This is normal and does not indicate a
fault.

h SmartMedia have a limited life and it will eventually

10

become impossible to store or delete data on a
SmartMedia that has been used for a long period. When
this occurs, purchase a new SmartMedia card.

h Affix the label onto the designed area of the card. Do not

use third-party labels as this can lead to problems when
the card is inserted or removed.

h When you attach the label, take care that it does not

cover any of the write-protect area.

hNotes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

h If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that

has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia by
connecting the camera to a TV using the video cable.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names

or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this
will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your
camera.

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s

hard disk and then edit the copied data.
