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, d 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 67). 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

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 MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture cards.

C 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.

First Steps

Page 16

Inserting a Memory Card

C Cautions

• 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 76.

• 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 turn the camera o or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage 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.

Autofocus

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofocus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use focus lock (pg. 21) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.

• Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.

• Fast-moving subjects.

• Subjects photographed through a window or other re ective object.

• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than re ect light, such as hair or fur.

• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or  ame.

• Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color as the background).

• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for example, a subject photographed against a backdrop of highly contrasting elements).

Viewing Pictures on a Computer

C Cautions

• Use only memory cards that have been formatted in the camera and contain pictures taken with the camera. If a memory card containing a large number of images is inserted, there may be a delay before FinePixViewer starts and FinePixViewer may be unable to import or save images. Use a memory card reader to transfer pictures.

• Make sure the indicator lamp is out before turning the camera o , disconnecting the USB cable or pulling the memory card out. Failure to observe this precaution could result in loss of data or damage to internal memory or the memory card.

• Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing memory cards.

• In some cases, it may not be possible to access pictures saved to a network server using FinePixViewer in the same way as on a standalone computer.

• The user bears all applicable fees charged by the phone company or Internet service provider when using services that require an Internet connection.

Disconnec ting the Camera

After con rming that the indicator lamp is out, follow the on-screen instructions to turn the camera o and disconnect the USB cable.

Uninstalling FinePixViewer

Only uninstall FinePixViewer before reinstalling the software or when it is no longer required. After quitting FinePixViewer and disconnecting the camera, drag the “FinePixViewer” folder from “Applications” into the Trash and select Empty Trash in the Finder menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and use “Programs and Features” (Windows Vista) or “Add/Remove Programs” (other versions of Windows) to uninstall FinePixViewer. Under Windows, one or more con rmation dialogs may be displayed; read the contents carefully before clicking OK.

Glossary

Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders” stored in internal memory or on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to be printed and the number of copies of each picture.

EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering the camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.

Exif Print: A standard that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproduction during printing.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed  le format for color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.

Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format that stores images and sound in a single  le, with the images recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG  les can be played in QuickTime 3.0 or later.

Smear: A phenomenon speci c to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources, such as the sun or re ected sunlight, appear in the frame.

WAV (Waveform Audio Format): A standard Windows audio  le format. WAV  les have the extension “*.WAV” and may be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV  les can be played using

Appendix

Windows Media Player or QuickTime 3.0 or later.

White bala nce: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objects that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This process is known as “white balance.”
