For Your Safety

Power Suppl y and Batter y

* Confi rm your bat tery ty pe before r ead-

ing the follo wing descriptions .

The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use of batteries can cause shor ter batter y life, as well as leakage, e xcessive heat, fire or expl osion.

Camera uses the Rechargeable

Lithium-ion Battery

* When shipped, the b attery is not

fully charged. Always charge the battery before using it .

* When c arrying the bat tery, install it

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

■ Battery Features

• The bat tery gr adually loses its charge even when not used. Use a batter y that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.

• To maximize the life of the battery, turn the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

• The number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged bat tery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by put ting the battery in your pocket or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a pic ture.

If you are using a heating pad, take

care not to place th e batter y directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted bat tery in cold conditions.

■ Charg ing the Bat tery

• You can charge the battery using the battery charger (included ).

- The battery can be charged

at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s Manual for the time of charging battery.

- You should charge the batter y

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

- You cannot charge the batter y

at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.

• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.

• The battery may feel warm af ter it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.

• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the battery can be used at least 30 0 times. If the time for which the bat tery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its ef fective life and should be replaced.

■ Notes on storage

• If a battery is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the batter y can be impaired. If the battery will not be used for som e time, run the batter y out before storing it.

• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the bat tery from the camera.

• Store the batter y in a cool place.

- The batter y should be stored in

a dry location with an ambient temperature b etween +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

- Do not leave the batter y in hot or

extrem ely cold places.

■ Ha ndling th e Battery

Cauti ons for Your Sa fety:

• Do not carr y or store bat tery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not heat the batter y or throw it into a fire.

• Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery.

• Do not recharge the bat tery with chargers other those specified.

• Dispose of used battery promptly.

• Do not drop the bat tery or otherwise subjec t it to strong impacts.

• Do not expose the battery to water.

• Always keep the batter y terminals clean.

• Do not store bat teries in hot places. Also, if you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the bat tery it self will b ecome warm. This is n ormal. Use the AC power adapter if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Camera uses AA-size alkaline or

lithium batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries

* For details on the batteries that

you can use, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camer a.

■ C autions fo r Using Batt ery

• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

• Do not carr y or store batteries with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Do not expose the bat teries to water, and keep batteries from getting wet or stored in moist locations.

• Do not attempt to take apart or change the batteries, including battery casings.

• Do not subject the bat teries to strong impacts.

For Your Safety

CAUTION

• D o not use batteries that are leaking, deformed, discolored.

• Do not store batteries in warm or humid places.

• Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.

• Make sure that the battery polarit y (C and D) is correct.

• Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged bat teries together.

• Do not use different types or brands of bat teries at the s ame time.

• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the bat teries from the camera. Note if the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time and date set tings are cleared.

• The batteries feel warm right af ter being used. B efore removing the batteries, turn the camera of f and wait for the b atteries to cool dow n.

• Since bat teries 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.

• Soil (such as fingerprints) on the batter y terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images. Carefully wipe the battery terminals with a sof t dry cloth b efore loading.

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

If any batter y fluid comes into contact with your hands or clothing, f lush 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.

■ Us ing the AA-s ize Ni-MH bat teries

correctly

• Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can be come “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly charging Ni-MH bat teries that are only par tially discharged can cause them to suffer from the “memory effec t”. Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivate d” 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.

Deactivation and memory are spe-

cific to Ni- MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults.

See Owner’s Manual for the proce-

dure for “Discharging rechargea ble batteries”.

CAUTION

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

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to th e instruc tions supplied with the charger to make sure that the charger is used correctly.

• Do not use the bat tery charger to charge other batteries.

• Note that the batteries feel warm after being charged.

• Due to the way the camera is construc ted, 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.

• Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not use d, and the time for which they can be used may b e shortened as a result.

• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharge d (e.g. by discharging th e batteries in a flashlig ht). Use the “ Discharging rechargeable batteries” function provided in the camera to discharge the batteries.

• 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 disp osing of bat teries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

Notes on both models (1, 2)

■ AC Pow er Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than FUJIFIL M AC Power Adapter can be damaged to your digital camera. For details on the AC power adapter, refer to the Owner’s Manual of your camera.

• Use the AC power adapter for indoor use only.

• Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input terminal.

• Turn of f the FUJIFILM Digital camera before dis connecting the cord from the DC inp ut terminal. To disconnect, pull out the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.

• Do not use the AC power adapter with any device other than your camera.

• During use, the AC power adapter will become hot to the touch. This is normal.

vii

For Your Safety

• Do not take apar t the AC power adapter. Doing so could be dangerous.

• Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot and humid place.

• Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong shock s.

• The AC power adapter may emit a humming. This is normal.

• If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may cause s tatic. If this happens, move the camera away from the radio.

Introduction

Optical Viewfinder

This display is immune from digital video effects and allows the subject to be viewed directly with no display

lag. Subjects are always in focus, allowing you to check their expression at any time.

• The viewfinder focus frame indicates the approximate focus point for photographs taken using the optical viewfinder.

• The display in the viewfinder may differ slightly from the final photograph due to parallax.

• Frame coverage is approximately 85% (at an aspect ratio of 4 : 3).

• Portions of the lens may be visible in the viewfinder at some zoom positions.

• The viewfinder incorporates a special display panel that dims if the battery is not inserted. A trickle of current (too low to have any affect on battery life) keeps the display clear while the battery is inserted.

Icons and Text in the Optical View finder

The display in the viewfinder may be difficult to read in bright sunlight. Normally black, the icons and text in the viewfinder turn green in dark surroundings or to show that the camera has successfully focused, red to warn that the camera has failed to focus or that the subject will be under- or over-exposed, and blue when exposure and/or focus is locked.
