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.

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.

Slide the battery cover out and lift it open.

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.

◆

When the Battery Cover Will Not Close

◆

Pull on the battery cover to close it.

●

!

Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover.

●

!

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

●

!

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 distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance.
When the shooting distance is set correctly and the image appears sharp, the image is focused.

■Two Focusing Methods: AF and MF.

The mechanisms for focusing are AF (auto focus) and MF (manual focus).
AF: The camera automatically focuses on the subject in the AF frame. The camera focuses

when you press the shutter button down halfway.

■Causes of Focusing Errors and the Solutions

Cause Solution

The subject is not in the AF frame.
The subject is not suited to AF.
The subject is outside the shooting range.
The subject is moving too quickly.

Use AF lock (✽1) or MF.
Use AF lock (✽1) or MF.
Switch Macro mode on or off (✽2).
Use MF (pre-setting the shooting distance for a shot (lock pin))

The FinePix S602 ZOOM uses an external AF sensor (external-light passive phase difference AF)
that features faster AF operation than previous models. The external AF sensor does not operate in
Macro or Super Macro mode, when the digital zoom or AREA AF is used, or when “SET ADAPTER
RING - YES” is specified. Focusing may take longer if the external AF sensor is soiled (➡P.86).

h Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car

body.

h Subjects photographed through glass.
h Subjects that do not reflect well, such as

hair or fur.

h Subjects with no substance, such as smoke

or flames.

h When the subject is dark.
h When there is very little contrast between

the subject and the background (such as

white walls or subjects dressed in the same
color as the background).

h Subjects moving at high speed.
h When something other than your subject is

close to the AF frame, has contrasting areas
of light and dark and is either closer or
further away than your subject (as when you
photograph someone against a background
with strongly contrasting elements).

EXPOSURE (APERTURE AND SHUTTER SPEED

)

31

Advanced Features Photography

3

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).

h In the P, S and A photography modes, it is easy to select

different 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.

You can Use the Menus for More Detailed Settings (➡P.49-58).

To achieve this result Sample settings

Set the Mode dial to “M” and select a slow shutter speed.
(Use a tripod to avoid camera shake.)

To express the motion of the subject (the flow of time)

Set the Mode dial to “

M

” and select a fast shutter speed.

To freeze the subject's movement

Set the Mode dial to “

N

” and select a wide aperture

setting.

To make the subject stand out by having the background
out of focus

Set the Mode dial to “

N

” and select a narrow aperture

setting.

To get a very large depth of focus

Change the “White balance” setting in the photography
menu.

To prevent the image having a red or blue cast due to
the light source

Take pictures in AUTO mode (see “Basic Photography”).

To avoid missing snapshot opportunities

Use exposure compensation.
Select (+) if the background is pale and (–) if the
background is dark.

To prevent the subject from being overexposed or
underexposed and to show the substance and textures
of the subject clearly.

Use multiple exposures. For multiple exposures,
exposure compensation is generally set to a negative
value depending on the number of exposures.
2 exposures: –1.0 EV; 3 exposures: –1.5 EV; 4
exposures: –2.0 EV

To merge multiple images in an artistic composition

The table below provides a number of sample settings. You can achieve any number of other effects
by using the settings effectively. Try changing different settings to see what kind of shots you can take.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes
appear natural when photographing people in
low-light conditions.
The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture
is taken and then fires again to take the actual
picture.

●

!

In the “R” and “>” modes, the flash fires automatically
according to the photography conditions.

n

Red-Eye Reduction

Use this flash mode to photograph backlit
scenes, such as a subject against a window or
in the shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct
colors when you are shooting under lighting
such as fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the
flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter
speed. This allows you to take pictures of people
at night that clearly show both your subjects and
the nighttime backdrop.

Use this mode for slow synchro shots with red­eye reduction.

●

!

The image may be overexposed when you shoot bright
scenes.

●

!

Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod should be
used to prevent camera shake.

To take a picture of a main subject at night with
the background brightly lit, please use the “>”
mode “/” (Night Scene) settings (➡P.34).

◆

Red-Eye Effect

◆

When you use the flash to photograph 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 effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye 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.

h AVERAGE

The advantage of this mode is that the exposure tends not to change for different compositions
or subjects. This mode is particularly effective for shots of people wearing black or white clothing
and shots of scenery.

h SPOT

This mode is useful for subjects with strongly contrasting light and dark areas where you want to
achieve the correct exposure for a particular feature.

h MULTI

In this mode, the camera uses automatic scene recognition to analyze the subject and provide
optimum exposure in a wide range of shooting conditions. This mode should be used for
everyday photography.

Use this mode for scenes where the brightness
of the subject and background differ markedly so
that the Multi setting is unlikely to achieve the
desired result.
AVERAGE: Light metering where an average

value for the entire image is used.

SPOT : Light metering where the exposure

is optimized for the center of the
image.

MULTI : Light metering where the camera

automatically assesses the scene
and selects the optimum exposure.

■ 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 media. In this event, remove the
media 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 battery and the media
card before storing the camera.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

h Use a blower brush to brush away any dust on

the lens, LCD monitor surface, viewfinder or
external AF sensor 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 screen or viewfinder as these surfaces
are easily damaged.

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

cloth. Do not use volatile substances such as
thinners, benzine or insecticide, as these may
react with camera body and cause deformation or
remove the coating.

■ Using the Camera Overseas

When travelling 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.

Notes on the Power Supply

h 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 FinePix S602 ZOOM because the
heat generated by the batteries could damage the camera

or cause malfunctions.

h 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.

Applicable 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 the batteries with metal objects such

as necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact with
the metal positive Ω and negative ≈ poles of the battery.

h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and take

particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the batteries.
h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.
h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

h Do not use the batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

h Do not store the batteries in very warm or moist locations.
h Keep the batteries out of reach of infant and young children.
h

When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the
battery polarity (

Ω

and ≈) is as indicated on the camera.

h 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.

h 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).

h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being used.

Before removing the batteries, switch the camera off and
wait until the batteries cool down.

h

When replacing the batteries, always fit 4 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.

h

In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F 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.

h

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.

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

f 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)

h 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.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other

than those specified for use with the charger.

h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after

being charged.

h Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to

charge the batteries before using them.

h 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.

h 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.

h Soiling (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.

h 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.

h 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.

Notes on the Batteries

Notes on Using the AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC-5VH/AC-5VHS AC Power Adapter with
the camera.
The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC-5VH/AC-5VHS
could result in damage to your digital camera.
h This AC power adapter is designed exclusively for indoor

use.

h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input

terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

h Turn off the power switch of the FUJIFILM Digital camera

before disconnecting the connection cord from the
FUJIFILM Digital camera’s DC input terminal. To
disconnect, take hold of the plug and pull it out (do not
disconnect it by pulling on the cord).

h Do not use this AC power adapter with any device except

the specified device.

h During use, this AC power adapter will become hot to

touch, but this is normal.

h Do not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so could

be dangerous.

h Do not use this device in a place with high temperature

and high humidity.

h Do not drop or subject this device to strong shocks.
h This device may emit a humming noise, but this is normal.
h If used near a radio, this device may cause static, so play

the radio in a distant place.

Notes on the Media (SmartMedia™and Microdrives)

■ SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card is a new image recording medium
developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each
SmartMedia card contains a built-in semiconductor memory
chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for storing image
data files in digital form.
Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image
data can be erased from the card and new data recorded.

■ SmartMedia with ID

A SmartMedia with ID is a SmartMedia that has an
individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia ID
cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers for
copyright protection or other purposes. This camera accepts
SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as conventional
SmartMedia cards.

■ Microdrives

Microdrives are compact, lightweight hard disk drives that
conform to the CF+ Type II standard. Due to their ample
capacity for large image data files and their low per­megabyte recording cost, Microdrives provide a more
economical way to save high-resolution image files.

■ Storing Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased
(destroyed). Please note that FUJIFILM accepts no
responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of
recorded data.
✽ When the media is used incorrectly by the owner or a third

party

✽ When the media is exposed to static electricity or electrical

noise

✽ When the media is removed or the camera is switched off

during data recording or erasing (media formatting)

✽ When the media is bent, dropped or otherwise subjected

to a strong force or impact
Important data should be backed up onto another medium.

(MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.)

■ General Notes on Handling Media (all types)

h When inserting the media into the camera, hold the media

straight as you push it in.

h Never remove the media or switch the camera off during

data recording or erasing (media formatting) as this could
result in damage to the media.

h Data storage media are precision electronic devices. Do

not bend, drop or otherwise subject the media to strong
force or shocks.

h Do not use or store these media in environments likely to

be affected by strong static electricity or electrical noise.

h Do not use or store media in locations subject to high

temperatures and humidity or in environments where they
are exposed to corrosive substances.

■ Notes on Handling SmartMedia

h Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the

camera. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the
camera.

h Take care not to touch the SmartMedia’s contact area (the

gold-colored area) or allow the area to become soiled. Use
a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any soiling that does occur.

h To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use

the special static-free case provided when carrying or
storing the media. Alternatively, keep the SmartMedia in a
storage case if available.

h Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static

electricity into your camera may result in a camera
malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then
on again.

h Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser

pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive
force when you sit down, thereby damaging the

SmartMedia.

h The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from

the camera after extended periods of use. This is normal
and does not indicate a fault.

h SmartMedia have a limited life and it may become

impossible to record or erase data on a SmartMedia that
has been used for a long time. When this happens,
purchase a new SmartMedia.

h Affix the index labels supplied with the SmartMedia onto

the designated area of the card. Do not use third-party
labels as this can lead to problems when the card is
inserted or removed.

h When you attach the index label to a SmartMedia, take

care that it does not cover any part of the write-protect
area.

■ Notes on using Microdrive

h Do not write on the Microdrive label.
h Do not peel off the Microdrive label.
h Do not stick additional labels onto a Microdrive.
h When carrying or storing a Microdrive, keep it in the

protective case provided.

h Do not use Microdrive in CF+ Type II slots that do not

have an eject function.

h Take care when handling Microdrive that have been used

for long periods as they may become hot.

h Do not place Microdrive close to strong magnetic fields.
h Keep Microdrive dry.
h Do not apply strong pressure to the Microdrive cover.

■ Notes on using media with a computer

h If you intend to take photos using a media that has been

used on a personal computer, first format the media on
your camera.

h When you format a media in the camera and then

photograph and record images, a folder is automatically
created on the media. Image data is then recorded in this
folder.

h Do not change or delete the folder names or file names on

the media from your computer as this will make it
impossible to use the media in your camera.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on a media.
h To edit image data, copy the image data to the computer's

hard disk and then edit the copied data.

✽ These specifications are subject to change without notice.
✽ The LCD monitor and viewfinder on your digital camera is

manufactured using advanced high-precision technology.
Even so, small bright points and anomalous colors
(particularly around text) may appear on the monitor and
viewfinder. These are normal display characteristics and do
not indicate a fault with the monitor. This phenomenon will
not appear on the recorded image.

✽ The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by

the strong radio interference (i. e. electric fields, static
electricity, line noise, etc.).

Explanation of Terms

AF/AE Lock:

On the FinePix S602 ZOOM, 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 30 seconds, this function switches 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 switches 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.

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 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.

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).

VGA/QVGA:

Graphics standards for PCs. Images are displayed at 640 × 480 and 320 × 240 pixels respectively.

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. This camera use PCM
recording.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows : MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player

✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later

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.

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.

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