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.

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.
●

LOADING THE BATTERIES

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
