1 Getting Ready

ATTACHING THE LENS CAP / STRAP / ADAPTER RING

LOADING THE BATTERIES

Pull the lens cap cord through a strap mount.

Attach the lens cap cord to avoid losing the lens cap.

●

Attach the strap to the strap mounts on the camera. Once you have attached both ends of the strap, check carefully to make sure that the strap is firmly secured.

Failure to attach the strap correctly can result in the camera

●

being dropped.

Screw the adapter ring in the direction of the arrow to mount it on the camera.

Mounting the adapter ring on the camera not only blocks unwanted external light but also protects the lens and allows the optional conversion lens to be attached. Mount the adapter ring on the camera at all times.

Compatible batteries

h AA-size alkaline batteries (4), or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) (4).

Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

●

How to use the batteries

◆

h Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious problems

such as battery fluid leakage or overheating:

1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings

2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries together

h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries. h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries can be

used. The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used

varies depending on the brand. Some alkaline batteries may stop providing power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F to +50°F). The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason.

h Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries. h See P.85, 86 for other notes on using batteries. h When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the amount of time which AA-size Ni-MH

batteries can be used may be short. See P.86 more information for recovering performance of NiMH batteries.

◆

Outer casing

Check that the camera is turned off (indicator lamp is off) before opening the battery cover.

If opening the battery cover while the camera is still on, the

●

camera will turn off.

Do not apply force to the battery cover.

●

Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on. This could damage the xD-Picture Card or ruin the image files on the xD-Picture Card.

Getting Ready

Attaching the lens cap

To prevent the lens cap from appearing in the shot when you take pictures, attach the lens cap to the strap.

Red-eye effect

◆

When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-eye reduction flash to minimize the likelihood of this effect. Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:

h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

◆

Forced flash

Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

Suppressed flash

■ Damage by Condensation

If the camera is carried 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, turn 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 xDPicture Card and wait a short time.

■ When the Camera is Not Used or is stored Periods of Time

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

■ Cleaning Your Camera

h Use a blower brush to brush away any dust on the

lens, LCD monitor or viewfinder and then gently wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains, apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.

h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor or viewfinder.

h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products these items can cause damage.

■ Using the Camera When Traveling

When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged inside or outside.

Power Supply and Batteries

Applicable Batteries

h In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or nickel-metal

hydride (Ni-MH) batteries. Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix S3100 / FinePix S3500 because the heat created by the batteries could damage the camera or cause it not to work.

h The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands.

The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than those 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.

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

such as necklaces or hairpins.

h Do not expose the batteries to water, and keep

batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations.

h Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries,

including battery casings.

h Do not subject the batteries to strong impacts. h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored.

h Do not store batteries in warm or humid places. h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.

h Make sure that the battery polarity (

correct.

≠ and –) is

h Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use

charged and discharged batteries together.

h Do not use different types or brands of batteries at

the same time.

h 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.)

h The batteries feel warm right after being used.

Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off and wait for the batteries to cool down.

h Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or

locations, warm the batteries by placing it inside your garments before use. Batteries do not work well in the cold. They will work again when the temperature returns to normal.

h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals

makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a soft dry cloth before loading.

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.

Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly

h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-

MH batteries are superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera. However, care must be taken with the way Ni-MH batteries are used if their original performance is to be maintained.

h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long

periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially discharged can cause them to suffer from the “memory effect”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or affected by “memory” suffer 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. By repeating this cycle several times, the temporary reduction in performance caused by “memory” or “deactivation” can be remedied and the batteries can be restored to their original performance levels. Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.87 for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable batteries”.

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function when alkaline batteries are being used.

h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery

charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to ensure that the charger is used correctly.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge other

batteries.

h Note that the batteries feel warm after being

charged.

h Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small

amount of current is used even when the camera is turned off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.

h Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not

used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result.

h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if

overdischarged (eg. by discharging the batteries in a flashlight). Use the "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

h 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.

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-5VH/AC-5VHS with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC5VH/AC-5VHS can cause damage to your digital camera.

h Use the AC power adapter for indoor use only. h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC

input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

h Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before

disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital camera’s DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.

h Do not use the AC power adapter with any device

other than your camera.

h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot

to the touch. This is normal.

h Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so

could be dangerous.

h Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot humid

place.

h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong

shocks.

h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. But

this is normal.

h If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may

cause static. If this happens, move the camera away from the radio.

Discharging rechargeable Ni-MH batteries

The “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function can only be used with Ni-MH batteries. The “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function should not be used with alkaline batteries as it will completely drain the battery charge.

Use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function in the following situations:

i When the batteries can only be used for a short time after being charged normally i When the batteries have not been used for a long period i When you purchase new Ni-MH batteries

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function while using the AC power adapter. In these situations, the Ni-MH batteries will not be discharged due to the external power supply.

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

h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card

that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format the card with your digital camera before using it.

■ Protecting Your Data

h Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the

following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM 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.

h Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO

disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

■ Handling xD-Picture Card

h When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that

they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD- Picture Card could be swallowed cause suffocation. If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical attention or call emergency number right away.

h When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the

camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you push it in.

h Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not

AF/AE Lock

On the FinePix S3100 / FinePix S3500, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure settings (AF and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change the picture composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.

Auto power save function

If the camera is not used in any way for 60 seconds, this function turns features such as the LCD monitor off (sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused for a further period, the Auto power save function turns the camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera. h The Auto power off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is disabled during setup.

Deactivated batteries

Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated. Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery's original level of performance cannot be achieved.

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 to be printed and how many prints are made of each image.

A number that denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. 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 CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed. When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.

Frame rate (fps)

The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps. For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).

JPEG

Joint Photographics Experts Group A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.

Memory effect

If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its original level. This is referred to as the “memory effect”.

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).

Smear

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

WAVE

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera. WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software: Windows: MediaPlayer Macintosh: QuickTime Player

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.

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for optimal printing.
