Face the black side of the cover towards the camera and attach the strap by threading the strap through the strap clip, starting from the notched side. Repeat steps 1 to 4 to attach the other end of the strap.
Hook the open metal strap clip through the strap mount on the camera. Once the clip is securely hooked through the strap mount, hold the clip in place as you remove the clip attaching tool.
Turn the metal strap clip around once until it clicks closed and is fully threaded onto the strap mount.
Checking that the metal strap clip is facing the right way, slide the clip fully into the clip attaching tool and open up the gap in the strap clip.
!
Keep the clip attaching tool in a safe place as you will also need it for removing the metal strap clip from the camera.
When attaching the strap to the camera, attach the metal strap clip to the camera before threading the strap through the clip. This description explains how to attach the strap using the clip attaching tool provided to make attaching the metal strap clip easier. (Numbers
1 to 8 refer to the illustrations.)

2Attach the lens cap by pressing in on each
side of the cap.
Thread the strap through the protective cover and metal strap clip.
Thread the strap through the buckle and retainer. Repeat steps
7 to 8 to attach the other end of
the strap.
Remove fasteners A and B from only one side of the shoulder strap. Then pass the shoulder strap through the lens cap holder and then back through fasteners A and B.
!
The lens cap cord should be attached to the camera to avoid losing the lens cap.

LOADING THE BATTERIES
12
Compatible Batteries
AA-size alkaline batteries (4) or AA-size Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries (4, sold separately)
About the Batteries
When Using AA-size Ni-MH Batteries
h Never use a battery when the outer casing is split or peeling as
this could result in a short-circuit and cause major problems due to battery fluid leakage or overheating.
h Do not use lithium, manganese or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd)
batteries.
h Do not use batteries of different types or brands together and
do not use new batteries together with used batteries.
h The useful life of alkaline batteries varies depending on the brand. The life of some batteries may
be considerably shorter than the batteries supplied with the camera. Due to the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (+10°C (+50°F) or below).
h Soiling such as fingermarks or grease on the poles of batteries can significantly reduce the
number of shots that can be taken.
h See P.82 for other precautions concerning the use of batteries.
Outer casing
To charge Ni-MH batteries, the optional charger (P.80) is required. h Always use the specified FUJIFILM batteries. Attempting to recharge other types of battery
(manganese, alkaline or lithium batteries) could cause the batteries to burst or leak fluid, causing a fire or injury or damage to surroundings.
h Soiling on the poles of Ni-MH batteries may prevent successful charging. It is recommended that
you make a practice of wiping the battery poles and charger terminals with a clean dry cloth before charging. (In particular, the first time you charge the batteries, you should clean the poles and terminals and then load the batteries into the charger and remove them again several times before you begin charging.)
h Do not use new batteries together with used batteries. h Always charge batteries before using them. Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have not
been used for a long period may not contain sufficient charge (so that the battery low warning appears immediately or the available shots/time displayed for the battery is low). This is a characteristic of the batteries and does not indicate a fault. Once the batteries have been charged and used 3 or 4 times, it will be possible to charge them fully and they will supply power for longer.
h If you charge Ni-MH batteries before they are fully depleted, this results in the “memory effect,
which causes the battery low warning to appear sooner. To restore the batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge in the batteries before recharging them. Memory effect: A phenomenon whereby the battery capacity appears to be lower than the
nominal amount.

1Close the battery cover. 2While pressing on the battery cover to push
the batteries down, 3 slide the cover closed.
Insert the batteries correctly as indicated by the polarity icons.
Never open the battery cover while the camera is switched on as this could damage the media or the image files.

LOADING THE MEDIA
14
You can use either SmartMedia or Microdrive as recording media in the FinePix S602 ZOOM. h If you load a SmartMedia and a Microdrive at the same time, images will be recorded onto the
media selected as the Primary media (Settings P.68).
h Data cannot be copied between the two media types on the FinePix S602 ZOOM.

Images cannot be recorded or erased if a write­protect sticker is affixed to the SmartMedia.
!
Operation of this camera is only guaranteed when it is used with FUJIFILM SmartMedia.
!
Some 3.3V SmartMedia are labeled as 3V or ID cards.
!
See P.83 for more information on using SmartMedia.
Always use 3.3-volt SmartMedia.

Microdrive
(
optional: supplied by another manufacturers)
!
Microdrives are actually very small and light hard disks. Because they are a spinning storage medium, they are less resistant to vibration and impacts than SmartMedia. If you are using a Microdrive, take great care not to expose the camera to vibration or impacts (particularly during recording or playback).
!
The use of Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries is recommended when using as Microdrive.

Standard Number of Shots for the Media
Because the amount of data needed to record an image varies slightly depending on the type of subject, the number of available shots may not decrease after an image is recorded, or may decrease by 2 in some cases. Also, the difference between the standard number of shots and the actual number of available shots increases for media with a higher capacity.

If the camera is not used in any way for approx. 30 seconds when the camera functions are enabled, this function temporarily switches features such as the LCD monitor off to reduce power consumption (P.73). If the camera is then left unused for a further period (2 or 5 minutes), the Auto Power Off function automatically switches the camera off. To switch the camera back on, set the Power switch to OFF briefly and then back to
U” or Q”.
Switch the camera on and check that no battery level icon (X or C) is displayed. If no icon is displayed, the battery has sufficient remaining charge.
h X Lit red : The batteries are low on charge. Replace the batteries as they will run out
shortly.

If the C icon starts flashing red while a movie is being shot, shooting automatically stops.
!
Do not reuse batteries that have no remaining charge (C blinking red) as this can result in faults such as the camera switching off without retracting the lens.
