Getting Ready

Charging the battery

◆

When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long
period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the self-timer lamp
does not light).
This is not a camera fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Battery
may degrade when charged at high temperatures.
Leave the camera connected to the AC power adapter, and charging will automatically begin within 30
minutes.

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.

ambience when shots are taken in low-light conditions. This
mode is also ideal for 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

This mode shoots 2 images continuously without flash and with

When pressing the shutter button, first picture is taken without
flash and next picture is taken with flash.
Always 2 pictures are taken per 1 shot.
Do not move the camera until the shooting ended.

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. 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 FinePix V10.
✽ 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 ?”

When erasing the image, the DPOF setting for that image is deleted at the same time.

“RESET DPOF OK ?”
When inserting an xD-Picture Card that contains images specified for printing by

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

[DPOF FILE ERROR]
Up to 999 images can be specified on the same xD-Picture Card.

Notes on the Power Supply

Notes on the Battery (NP-40)

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion
Battery NP-40. Note the points below when using the
rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the
Safety Notes to make sure that you use the battery
correctly.
✽ When shipped, the NP-40

is not fully charged. Always
charge the NP-40 before
using it.

h When carrying the NP-40,

install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft
case.

h When storing the NP-40, place it inside the special

soft case provided.

■ Battery Features

h The NP-40 gradually loses its charge even when not

used. Use a NP-40 that has been charged recently
(in the last day or two) to take pictures.

h To maximize the life of the NP-40, turn the camera

off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

h The number of available frames will be lower in cold

locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-40.
You can also increase the amount of power
produced by putting the NP-40 in your pocket or
another warm place to heat it and then loading it into
the camera just before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place
the NP-40 directly against the pad. The camera may

Soft case

Battery

(NP-40)

not operate if you use a depleted NP-40 in cold
conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

h You can charge the battery using the camera and

the AC power adapter (included).
i The NP-40 can be charged at ambient

temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and
+104°F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C
(+73°F), it takes approx. 2 hours to charge a fully
depleted NP-40 battery.

i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient

temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F
and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a
temperature outside this range, charging takes
longer because the performance of the NP-40 is
impaired.

i You cannot charge the NP-40 at temperatures of

0°C (+32°F) or below.

h You can also use the optional Battery Charger BC-

65 to charge the NP-40. When charging, use the
NP-40 battery adapter supplied with the BC-65
(Refer to the Owner’s Manual for details).
i The NP-40 can be charged using the BC-65

Battery Charger at ambient temperatures between
0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes
approx. 95 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP­40 battery.

i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient

temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F
and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a
temperature outside this range, charging takes
longer because the performance of the NP-40 is
impaired.

h The NP-40 does not need to be fully discharged or

exhausted flat before being charged.

h The NP-40 may feel warm after it has been charged

or immediately after being used. This is perfectly
normal.

h Do not recharge a fully charged NP-40.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-40 can be used at
least 300 times.
If the time for which the NP-40 provides power
shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-40 has
reached the end of its effective life and should be
replaced.

Notes on storage

The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40 is both
compact and capable of storing large quantities of
power. However, if it is stored for long periods while
charged, the performance of the battery can be
impaired.
h If the battery will not be used for some time, run the

battery out before storing it.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the battery from the camera.

h Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store

in a cool place.

✽ The battery should be stored in a dry location with

an ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C
(+59°F and +77°F).

✽ Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold

places.

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-5VW with the
camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than
AC-5VW 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, 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.

■ Handling the Battery

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

Warning Displays eThe table below lists the warnings that are displayed on the LCD monitor.

■ 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 re-recording 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.

■ 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.

1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power
off 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 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.

back images or movies. If this happens replace it
with a new xD-Picture Card.

h Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the

camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-
Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged
to the xD-Picture Card.

h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with

FinePix V10.
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.

type and Type M (containing “M” in the model
number, such as DPC-M1GB).
FinePix V10 is compatible with Type M, however it
may not be compatible depending on the device
used (Image Memory Card Reader, etc.).

■ Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

h When taking pictures using an xD-Picture Card that

has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-Picture
Card using your camera for best quality.

h When formatting an xD-Picture Card, 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 xD-Picture Card because this will
make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in
your camera.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on an

xD-Picture Card.

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC

and edit the copy.

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.

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.

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

✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later

If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model numbers containing “>” such as “DPC-M1GB”,
movie recording time may be reduced if you repeatedly record and erase (frame erase) image files. In
such a case, erase all frames or format the picture card before use. Back up important frames (files)
onto your PC or another media.

✽ These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting

from errors in this Owner’s Manual.

✽ The LCD monitor 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. 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.).

✽ Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of images may appear distorted. This is normal.
