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

!

Failure to attach the strap correctly can result in the camera

●

being dropped.

Pull the lens cap cord through the strap.

!

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

●

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.

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.

Compatible batteries

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

!

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

●

How to use the battery

◆

h Never use the following types of battery, 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 significantly reduce the amount of time

for which the batteries can be used.

h The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries)

can be used varies depending on the brand, and 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). The
use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is recommended for this reason.

h Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
h See P.97-99 for other notes on using batteries.
h When first purchased or if left unused for a log period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH

batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.98 for details.

When this function is active, it also switches off the LCD monitor to reduce power consumption if the
camera is not used for 30 seconds (See P.75 for details). If the camera is then left unused for a further
period (2 minutes or 5 minutes), the Power save function automatically switches the camera off. To
switch the camera back on, turn the Power switch to turn the camera off briefly and then turn it back on.

■ Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card

The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The
larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available frames and the
number shown here. Also, because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available
frames may not decrease or may decrease by 2 when a frame is taken. Consequently, the actual number of available frames
may be more or less than what is displayed.

In a shot with this type of composition, the subjects
(two people in this case) are not in the AF frame. If
the shot is taken at this point, the subjects will not
be in focus.

Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.

When you press the Shutter button down halfway,
the camera emits a short double-beep and focuses
on your subject. At that point, the AF frame on the
screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture (the indicator lamp
(green) changes from blinking to lit.).

Continue to hold the Shutter button down halfway
(AF/AE lock). Move the camera back to the original
image and then fully press down on the Shutter
button.

!

You can reapply the AF/AE lock as many times as you like

●

before releasing the shutter.

!

The AF/AE lock operates in all Photography modes and can

●

be used to ensure excellent results.

AF-ASSIST ILLUMINATOR

When the Shutter button is pressed down halfway
in dimly lit conditions, the camera fires the AF­Assist Illuminator (green) to allow easier focusing at
shooting distances of up to roughly 2 m depending
on subject.
However, the AF-Assist Illuminator is not effective
when the zoom is set to telephoto (high
magnification : 6× or more). Wherever possible,
pictures should be taken using a wide-angle zoom
setting (low magnification).

!

When “{” is displayed even with the AF-Assist Illuminator

used, the camera cannot focus. When this occurs, take the
picture at a distance of around 2 m from the subject.

USING THE ZOOM (OPTICAL ZOOM/DIGITAL ZOOM

Press the “T” or “W ” button to zoom in and out.
The digital zoom can be used with the “3”, “2”

When zooming switches between optical and digital,

FOCUSING

The distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance.
The image is said to be focused when the image appears sharp at the correct shooting distance.

■ Three focusing methods

The FinePix S5000 now offers a choice of 3 focusing mechanisms : Auto focus (S-AF),
Continuous AF (C-AF) and Manual focus (M-AF).

S-AF : Allows the camera to focus on the subject automatically. The camera focuses when the

Shutter button is pressed down halfway.

C-AF : The camera focuses continuously on the main subject in the AF frame. Use this mode to

photograph moving subjects. See P.51 for details.

MF : With the “

details.

■ Causes of focusing errors and the solutions

The subject is not suited to AF.
The subject is outside the shooting range.
The subject is moving too quickly. Use MF (pre-setting the shooting distance for a shot (lock pin))

Press the Shutter button down
halfway to focus.

Recompose the shot and take the picture.

0.1 m to 2.0 m (0.3 ft. t o 6.6 ft.)

EXPOSURE

Exposure refers to the light that hits the CCD or the total amount of captured light and determines
the brightness of the image.
The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (automatic
exposure), the camera automatically determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as
the brightness of the subject and the ISO setting.

The graph at left shows the way the aperture and shutter speed settings can
be changed while maintaining the same exposure level.

h When the exposure is decreased by one step, the shutter speed also

decreases by one step (the dot moves up and left).

h When the exposure is increased by one step, the shutter speed also

increases by one step (the dot moves down and right).

h Combinations that result in the shutter speed or aperture being outside the

available range of settings cannot be selected (white dots).

N”, “M” and “<” photography modes, it is easy to select different

h In the “

settings along this line.

h Selecting settings that run parallel to this line by adjusting the brightness of

the photographed image is referred to as exposure compensation.

When you cannot get the correct exposure

◆

–0+

Exposure compensation :

This function uses the exposure level set by the AE
function as a reference (0) and then brightens (+) or
darkens (–) the image. By selecting Auto bracketing,
you can shoot 3 frames, one underexposed (–), one
at the reference exposure (0) and one overexposed
(+).

◆

Shutter speed

When you are shooting a moving subject, you can either “freeze the motion” or “capture the sense
of movement” by adjusting the shutter speed.

Fast Slow

Freezes the motion of the
subject.

Photographs the traces left
by the subject's movement.

than the main subject at or near the center of
the image and that subject is closer to or further
from the camera than the main subject (as
when you photograph someone against a
background with strongly contrasting elements).

By adjusting the aperture, you can change the depth of focus (depth of field).
