GETTING STARTED

Loading the Batteries

Compatible batteries

Use two AA-size alkaline batteries or two AA-size nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.

Notes on Handling Batteries

It is recommended that you use the same brand of alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

Do not use different types of batteries or old and new batteries together.

You cannot use lithium, manganese or nickelcadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.

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. Note also that due to the nature of alkaline

batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (at temperatures of +10oC (+50oF)

or below). Consequently, Ni-MH batteries are recommended.

Soiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of batteries can greatly reduce the time for which the batteries

provide power.

You will need the optional charger ( p.52) to recharge Ni-MH batteries.

See p.55 for notes on using batteries.

It can shoot for almost 300 frames of pictures while using the general alkaline batteries (based on our tests).

1. Rotate the battery cover to the “UNLOCK” side.

2. Twist the battery cover switch and the battery cover will automatically

open.

Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover.

You should carry a spare set of batteries (sold separately) when taking pictures.

3. Load the batteries correctly as indicated by the polarity icons.

12

4. Close the battery cover.

5. Rotate the battery cover to the “ LOCK”side.

When you want to replace the batteries

Check that the camera is switched off, open the battery cover and then

remove the batteries.

Take care not to drop the batteries when opening and closing the battery cover.

13

Inserting an xD-Picture Card

This camera includes 8MB of internal memory, allowing you to record images and video clips in the camera.

However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an optional xD-Picture Card so that you can record

additional images and video clips.

Notes on Recording Media

If the camera is inserted an xD-Picture Card, the images and video clips will be recorded on the xD-Picture

Card. And an xD-Picture Card folder will appear on your computer when the camera is connected with your

computer.

If the camera is not inserted an xD-Picture Card, the images and video clips will be recorded on the internal

memory. And the internal memory folder will appear on your computer when the camera is connected with

your computer.

When an xD-Picture Card is fully recorded, you can not take any pictures. Even if the internal memory capacity is not full. Please
transfer the images and video clips into your computer hard disk or remove the xD-Picture Card.

xD-Picture Card (sold separately)

DPC-16 (16MB) DPC-32 (32MB) DPC-64 (64MB)

DPC-128 (128MB) DPC-256 (256MB) DPC-512 (512MB)

Operation of this camera is only guaranteed when it is used with FUJIFILM xD-Picture Card.

Because xD-Picture Cards are small, they can be accidentally swallowed by small children. Be sure to store xD-Picture Cards out of the
reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical advice immediately.

BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY

You’ve read the chapter on getting ready and the camera is now set up and ready to take pictures.The Basic

Photography section explains the three basic steps. Master the basic steps by actually trying them out on the

camera as you go.

Taking Pictures

1. Toggle the MODE button to .

2. Check that the Macro Selector Switch to “ ” Normal mode.

Photography range: About 1.2m (3.9ft.) to infinity.

For close-up shots, select the Macro mode. ( p.26).

19

3. Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the camera with both

hands.

4. Take care to hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do not

cover the lens or flash. If the lens or flash is obscured by your fingers

or the camera strap, you may not be able to obtain the correct

brightness (exposure) for your shot.

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as described on p.53.

If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image due to the flash reflecting off the
dust particles or snowflakes. Try taking the picture with the flash switched off.

5. Compose the picture by using the LCD monitor.

20

6. When you press the shutter button, the camera emits a short beep

and takes the picture.

The data is then recorded.

If the camera is inserted an xD-Picture Card, the images and video clips will be recorded on the xD-Picture

Card; otherwise, they will be recorded on the internal memory.

When you press the shutter button, there is a very short delay before the picture is actually taken.

When taking the subject with high luminance, the subject might appear a black spot.
This is the characteristic of CMOS sensor, not a malfunction.

The status LED blinks red while the flash is charging.

The flash charging time may increase when the battery charge gets lower.

USB Mode.

Blinking RED Flash charge processing.

Battery power out.

Note also that switching the camera off or opening the battery cover during image recording could corrupt the

image files.

21

Setting the Image Resolution and Quality

You can choose from 4 settings. Toggle the QUALITY button to select the desired image resolution/quality

setting.

1600F 1600N 1280 640

When you change the image resolution/quality, the number of available shots also changes.

Number of Available Shots

The number of available shots is displayed on the LCD monitor.

Standard Number of Shots

Because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available shots may not

decrease when recording ends, or may decrease by 2 frames. The discrepancy between the standard number

of available shots and the actual number of available shots increases in proportion to the capacity of internal

memory or memory card.

Image Resolution Quality Standard Number of shots on

8MB internal memory

1600 1600x1200 F Fine Approx. 10 shots

1600 1600x1200 N Normal Approx. 20 shots

1280 1280x960 - Approx. 40 shots

640 640x480 - Approx. 80 shots

22

Selecting the Flash Mode

Use the flash mode that best suits your shot. Toggle the button to select the desired the flash mode setting.

3 modes: “ ”, “ ” and “ ”

Effective flash range (in “ ”AUTO mode):

About 1.2 m (3.9ft.) to 2.0 m (6.6ft.)

If you use the flash in very dusty conditions or when it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image due to the flash reflecting off the
dust particles or snowflakes.

Try taking the shot with the flash switched off.

The flash charging time may increase if the charge remaining in the batteries is low.

The status LED blinks red while the flash is charging.

Auto Flash Mode

Use this mode for general photography. The flash fires automatically as

required by the shooting conditions.

23

Red-eye Reduction Flash Mode

Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes appear natural when

photographing people in low-light conditions. The flash fires automatically

as required by the photography conditions.

The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture is taken and then fires

again to take the actual picture.

Red-eye Effect

When you photograph a person in dim light using the flash, the eyes will appear red in the finished photo. Under

low light, the pupils of the eyes get bigger for better vision. Red-eye is caused by light from the flash entering the

eyes and being reflected back to the camera lens. Red-eye reduction causes an early flash to fire before the

actual picture is taken. This causes the eyes to get smaller, reducing the red-eye effect for the final flash.

When using red-eye reduction flash mode,

Ask your subject to look directly into the camera.

Frame your subject as closely as possible.

Flash-off Mode

Use this mode when taking pictures under normal room lighting or taking

pictures of subject beyond the flash range such as in a theater and

stadium.

24

Digital Zoom

Using digital zoom, images appear closer. Whereas digital zoom is a

compelling feature, the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more

pixilated (grainier) the image will appear.

NOTES ON USING YOUR CAMERA CORRECTLY

Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” ( p.65), to ensure that you use your

camera correctly.

Safety Notes

The enclosed disk is a computer CD-ROM. Never attempt to play this disk on an ordinary music CD player

as it may produce extremely high noise levels that could damage your hearing or your audio equipment.

The camera is precision instrument. Never attempt to take this part apart. There is serious danger of a

powerful electric shock.

Do not drape the connection cord around your neck or otherwise treat the cable carelessly as this could

result suffocation.

Do not leave the camera in locations exposed to direct sunlight as this could cause a fire due to the action of

the lens.

Ensure that batteries are stored in a safe, secure place well out of the reach of any small children.

Do not bring the camera close to a flame or throw it into the fire.

Do not drop the camera or otherwise subject it to strong impact.

Do not immerse the camera in water.

Places to Avoid

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

In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.

In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer. When

you place the camera in direct sunlight, the heat generated from the sun might burn the CMOS sensor and

damage the camera. Do not expose the camera in direct sunlight.

Extremely cold places.

Places subject to strong vibration.

Places affected by smoke or steam.

Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near motors, transformers or magnets).

In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand

This camera is particularly adversely affected by water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to water,

ensure that the camera is not exposed to water or sand. Take care also not to place the camera on a wet

surface. Water or sand inside the camera can cause faults that may be irreparable.

Notes on Condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may

form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour before

using the camera. Condensation may also form on the xD-Picture card. In this event, remove the xD-Picture

Card and wait a short time before using it again.

When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries and the xD-Picture Card

before storing the camera.

Cleaning Your Camera

Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens or LCD monitor screen and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry

53

cloth. If any soil remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning

paper and wipe gently.

Do not scratch hard objects against the lens or LCD monitor screen as these surfaces are easily damaged.

Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzene

or insecticide, as these may react with camera body and cause deformation or remove the coating.

Using the Camera Overseas

When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports

may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged internally even when no external

damage is visible.

54

Notes on the Power Supply

Applicable Batteries

AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be used with this camera.

Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your camera because the

heat generated by the batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunctions.

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.

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions

given below.

Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

Do not carry or store a batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into

contact with the metal positive “ + ” and negative “ - ” poles of the batteries.

Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries.

Do not attempt to peel off or cut the batteries casing.

Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to strong impacts.

Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.

When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the battery polarity (and ) is as indicated on the

camera.

Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. In the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use

charged and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries of different types or brands together.

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note

that if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date settings are cleared.)

The batteries may feel warm immediately after being used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera

off and wait until the batteries cool down.

When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.

Here, “new batteries” refers to either recently purchased unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal

hydride) batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.

In cold locations (at temperatures of +10oC/+50oF 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.

Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can markedly reduce the number of available shots.

Carefully wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before loading the batteries.

55

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery compartment thoroughly and then load

new batteries.

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.

Disposing of Batteries

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

Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MH batteries)

Always use the special battery charger to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described

in the instructions provided with the battery charger.

Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than those specified for use with the charger.

Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after being charged.

Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to charge the batteries before using them.

The camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute amount of current even when the camera is switched

off.

Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period of time as they can become

excessively discharged and may no longer be usable even when charged.

Ni-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used. Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If

the time for which a battery provides power shortens markedly when it has been correctly charged, this

indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH batteries can greatly reduce the number of available shots.

When this occurs, clean the terminals carefully with a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge in the

batteries and recharge them.

Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have been left unused for an extended period may not be fully

charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display of the battery low warning or a low number of available

shots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries and does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and

using the batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normal condition.

If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH batteries before it is fully discharged, it will suffer from the “memory

effect”., causing the battery low warning to appear while there is still ample charge remaining in the battery.

To restore the batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge in the batteries before recharging

them.

* Memory effect: A phenomenon affecting the battery characteristics such that the apparent battery capacity

decreases.

56

Notes on the xD-Picture Card

Image Memory Card

This Image Memory Card is a new image recording media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital cameras.

The Image Memory Card consists of a semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory) to record digital

image data.

The recording process is electrically performed and enables erasure of existing image data as well as

rerecording of new image data.

When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card that has been initialized by a PC, be sure to initialize

(format/initialize) the card with your digital camera before using it.

Protecting Your Data

Data may be lost or destroyed in the following situations. Please note that the supplier assumes no

responsibility for data that is lost or destroyed.

1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,

during record, erase, initialization, and playback operations).

2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by the user or third party.

We recommend saving your important data to another media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

Notes on Handling xD-Picture Card

Keep xD-Picture Cards out of the reach of small children. When storing xD-Picture Cards, ensure that they

are kept in a location out of the reach of small children to prevent a card being accidentally swallowed. An

xD-Picture Card could cause suffocation if accidentally swallowed.

If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical advice immediately.

Make sure that the memory card is straight when you insert into the camera etc.

The memory card is a precision electronic instrument.

Do not apply pressure or shock, and avoid bending.

Do not use the memory card in a hot, humid, or corrosive environment.

If the contact area on the card is soiled (dust, fingerprints, etc.), wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

Clean the memory card with a soft dry piece of cloth when dirty.

When you carry or store it, always keep the card in the anti-static case provided. Use a storage case if

available.

The memory card can be used reliably for a long period of time, but will eventually lose its ability to store and

play back image data. At this point, replace with a new memory card.

Never remove the xD-Picture Card or switch the camera off during data recording, during data erasing (xD-

Picture Card formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back. These actions could

result in damage to the xD-Picture Card.

The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with this camera. The camera quality cannot be guaranteed

when cards other than those manufactured by FUJIFILM are used.

The xD-Picture Card 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.

Do not affix labels to the xD-Picture Card. This could result in the label peeling off and causing a fault when

the card is inserted or removed.

Notes on Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

If you intend to take photos using an xD-Picture Card that has been used on a PC, format the xD-Picture

Card on your camera.

57

When you format an xD-Picture Card in the camera and then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is

automatically created. Image data is then recorded in this directory.

Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names or file names on the xD-Picture Card from your PC as

this will make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in your camera.

Always use the camera to erase image data on an xD-Picture Card.

To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC’s hard disk and then edit the copied data.

Do not copy files other than those that will be used by the camera.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS

DPOF: Digital Print Order Format

DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you

to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how many prints are made of each

image.

EV:

A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed)

of the film or CMOS. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of

the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CMOS at a constant level by

adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. When the amount of light striking the CMOS doubles, the EV increases

by 1.

Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.

JPEG:

Joint Photographics Experts Group

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the

higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.

Motion JPEG:

A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the

file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.

PC Card:

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.

PC Card Standard:

A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.

PCMCIA:

Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).

White Balance:

Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other

hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the

color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance. A function

that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.
