◆

Attaching the lens hood

When attaching the lens hood, it is effective for
reducing ghost images and flare in backlit scenes.
Camera provides crisp, clear shots.
1Align the indicators on the camera and lens

hood, and fit the lens hood to the lens.

!

The lens hood cannot be attached when the optional wide-

●

angle conversion lens is used.

2Turn the lens hood clockwise until it clicks.

◆

As in storing lens hood into the soft case, the lens
hood can be attached upside down.

Compatible batteries

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

!

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 they 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.

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

can be used varies depending on the brand. Some brands of 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.137-138 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.138 for more information.

■ Standard number of frames per media

The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new media formatted on the camera. The larger the media
capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also, the size of an
image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may remain the same.
For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.

PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

FOCUSING (DISTANCE

PHOTOGRAPHY FUNCTIONS

)

EXPOSURE (SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE

)

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.

■ Three focusing methods

The mechanisms for focusing are S-AF (Single AF), C-AF (Continuous AF) and MF (Manual focus).
S-AF: Use S-AF for normal photography. In this mode, the camera focuses each time the shutter

button is pressed down halfway. Select the AF mode

(➡P.68) when the Mode dial is set to

“N”, “M”, “<” or “>” mode.

The AF sensor

◆

The FinePix S9100 / FinePix S9600 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
function when Macro mode, Super macro mode, the digital zoom, AREA or C-AF focusing is used. It
may take longer to focus if the external AF sensor is soiled (➡P.145).

◆

C-AF: Use C-AF to photograph moving subjects. When this mode is set, the camera focuses

continuously on the subject in the center of the screen. See P.48 for details.

MF: The focus is adjusted by turning the focusing ring manually. See P.49 for details.

■ Causes of focusing errors and the solutions

The subject is not in the AF frame.

Cause Solution

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 )

✽1 Taking pictures using AF lock

Use AF lock (AF mode: AF (CENTER)) ✽1 or MF.
Use AF lock (AF mode: AF (CENTER)) ✽1 or MF.
Turn Macro mode on or off ✽2.

Press the shutter button down halfway to focus.

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 (Auto­exposure), the camera determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the brightness
of the subject and the sensitivity 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 aperture is decreased by one step, the shutter speed also

decreases by one step (the dot moves upper left).

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

increases by one step (the dot moves lower 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

◆

AE lock: Determines and fixes the exposure at a target level. Use the following procedure to take a

picture using AE lock:
Press the “AE-L” button (sets and locks the
exposure). ➡ Press the shutter button down
halfway (sets and fixes the focus). ➡ Press
the shutter button down fully (takes the
picture).

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 (+).

temperature rises, it will lower your image quality and streaking may also be visible in your images. If this occurs,
turn the camera off several times to prevent heating the camera. Setting High-speed shooting mode to “OFF” is
effective.

Using this mode selects a fast shutter speed that reduces
camera shake and moving-subject blurring.

This mode produces beautiful images that retain the
natural ambience when shots are taken in low-light
conditions. This mode is also ideal for shooting indoor or
situations where the flash cannot be used.

Sample uses:

• Portraits of sleeping children, pets and birthday cakes

• Candlelit services (weddings, etc.) and school concerts

• Restaurants, aquariums, museums and churches
Used for photography getting beautiful skin tones and soft

overall tone.

Used for shooting scenery in daylight and provides crisp,
clear shots of scenery such as buildings and mountains.

Used for shooting evening and night scenes. This mode
allows you to take shots where priority is given to slow
shutter speeds of up to 4 seconds. To prevent camera
shake, always use a tripod.

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

SPECIFYING DPOF SETTINGS EASILY

DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format and refers to a format that is used for
recording printing specifications for images shot using a digital camera on media such as
an xD-Picture Card and CF/Microdrive. The recorded specifications include information
on which frames are to be printed.

This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with the FinePix
S9100 / FinePix S9600.

✽ Some printers do not support date and time imprinting or specification of the number of

prints.

✽ The warnings shown below may appear while specifying the prints.

“DPOF SPECIFIED. ERASE OK ?”
“DPOF SPECIFIED. ERASE ALL OK ?” (➡P.75)
When erasing the image, the DPOF setting for that image is deleted at the same time.

“RESET DPOF OK ?” (➡P.79)
When inserting a media that contains images specified for printing on by another

camera, those print specifications are all reset and replaced by the new print
specifications.

Notes on using Microdrives for movie shooting

◆

If the camera’s internal temperature rises too high, movie shooting stops to protect the media. Because
Microdrives tend to generate heat (for mechanical reasons), long periods of continuous movie shooting
may not be possible when the ambient temperature is high. As a general guide to shooting times, you
can shoot movies for around 20 minutes at an ambient temperature of +30°C/+86°F and for around 30
minutes at +25°C/+77°F.

6.1.1 Using the AC power adapter

Always use a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-5VX (sold separately) (➡P.136).
Use the AC power adapter to prevent losing power at inconvenient times, such as when
downloading photographed images to your PC. You can take pictures and play back images without
worrying about depleting the batteries.

!

Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when the camera is off.

●

Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the camera is turned on temporarily interrupts the power supply
to the camera, so that images or movies being shot at the time are not recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first can
also result in damage to the media or malfunctions during PC connection.

Check that the camera is off. Plug the AC power
adapter connector into the “DC IN 5V” socket and
then plug the AC power adapter into the power
outlet.

!

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and

●

shall be easily accessible.

!

The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the

●

country of use.

!

See P.138 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

●

Do not connect the AC power adapter to charge the AA-size Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride)
batteries. Use the optional charger (➡P.136) to charge the Ni-MH batteries.

6.1.2 Connecting to a TV

Turn off the camera and TV. Plug the A/V cable

1

(included) into the “A/V OUT” (Audio/Visual output)
socket.

!

Plug the A/V cable (included) and the AC power adapter

●

correctly and push them in the terminals.

!

When there is a power outlet available, connect the AC

●

Power Adapter AC-5VX.

Plug the other end of the cable into the audio /

2

120 121

video input socket on the TV. Then turn the camera
and TV on and take pictures or play back images
normally.

!

When connecting the A/V cable to TV, the camera’s screen is

Refer to the instructions provided with your TV for more

information on audio/video input for your TV.

of locations:

h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places
h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in
summer

h Extremely cold places
h Places with strong vibration
h Places with smoke or steam
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as

near motors, transformers or magnets)

h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides
h Next to rubber or vinyl products

■ Damage by Water or Sand

The FinePix S9100 / FinePix S9600 can be damaged
on the inside and outside by water and sand. When
you are at the beach or close to water, make sure that
the camera is not damaged by water or sand. Take
care not to place the camera on a wet surface.

■ 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
media. In this event, remove the media 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 media.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

h Use a blower brush to remove any dust on the lens,

LCD monitor, viewfinder or external AF sensor and
then gently wipe the camera with a soft, dry cloth. If
any soil 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 to
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 Ni-MH

(nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries.
Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix S9100 / FinePix
S9600 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 them inside
your garments before use. Batteries do not work well
when 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.

Power Supply and Batteries

Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries
correctly

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

MH batteries (referred to hereafter as 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.139
for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.

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

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

charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to make sure 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 (e.g. 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-5VX with the
camera.
The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC-5VX
can be damaged 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 and

humid place.

h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong

shocks.

h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. 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 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 only last 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

■ Image Memory Card

h This Image Memory Card is a new image recording

media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital cameras.
The Image Memory Card consists of a semiconductor
memory (NAND-type flash memory) to record digital
image data.
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.

■ 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.

■ 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.

Removal of the memory card or turning the power off

1.
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 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 turn the camera off during

data recording or erasing (media formatting) as this could
be damaged to the media.

h Do not bend, drop or otherwise subject the media to

strong force or shocks.

h Do not use or store these media in places with affected

by strong static electricity or electrical noise.

h Do not use or store media in hot humid places or in

places where they are exposed to corrosive substances.

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

apply pressure, and avoid bending.
Do not use the xD-Picture Card in a hot or humid place.

h
h Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of cloth

when dirty.

h When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep it in

the special protective case.

h The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but will

sooner or later lose its ability to store and play back
images or movies. If this happens replace it with a new
xD-Picture Card.

h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with the

FinePix S9100 / FinePix S9600.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when xD-
Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.

h The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is removed

from the camera after taking pictures. This is normal.

h Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling labels

can cause the camera not to work properly.

There are two types of xD-Picture Card:
standard type and Type M (containing “M” in the model
number, such as DPC-M1GB).
FinePix S9100/ FinePix S9600 is compatible with Type
M, however they may no be compatible depending on
the device used (Image Memory Card Reader, etc.).

■ Using Microdrive

h Do not use hard-pointed pens to 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 When a Microdrive is used, vibration or impacts during

image data recording may prevent the image data from
being recorded correctly. Put the camera down carefully
when placing it on a desk or table, etc.

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

■ Using Compact Flash

Contact the CompactFlash card manufacturer for
information on the CompactFlash functions, operation
details and system requirements.
Card types approved for use with the FinePix S9100 /
FinePix S9600 are listed on the FUJIFILM website.
http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital/
h The CompactFlash card may be hot immediately after

being used in the camera and should be handled with
care.

h Do not touch the card contact area with your fingers or

metal objects.

h Unused CompactFlash cards should be formatted before

being used.

■ Using media with a PC

h When taking pictures using a media that has been used

on a PC, reformat the media using your camera for best
quality.

h When formatting a media, a directory (folder) is created.

Image data is then recorded in this directory.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file

names on the media because 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 PC and

edit the copy.

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.

EV

A number 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 Photographic 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.

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.

Do not place the camera on an
unstable surface.

This can cause the camera to fall or tip
over and cause injury.

number right away.

Do not use the charger to charge

medical attention or call an emergency
number.

distort the casing or cause a fire.

When you are cleaning the camera
or you do not plan to use the camera
for an extended period, remove the
batteries and disconnect and unplug
the AC power adapter.

Failure to do so can cause a fire or
electric shock.

When charging ends, unplug the
charger from the power socket.

Leaving the charger plugged into the
power socket can cause a fire.

Using a flash too close to a person’s
eyes may temporarily affect the
eyesight.

Take particular care when photographing
infants and young children.

When an xD-Picture Card is
removed, the card could come out of
the slot too quickly. Use your finger
to hold it and gently release the card.

Request regular internal testing and
cleaning for your camera.

Build-up of dust in your camera can
cause a fire or electric shock.

h Contact your FUJIFILM dealer to

request internal cleaning every 2 years.
