Compatible Memory Cards
The camera can be used with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory
cards. The camera supports UHS-I memory cards.
Use a memory card with a UHS speed class of 3 or better when
recording movies. A list of supported memory cards is available on the Fuji lm
website. For details, visit: http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/compatibility/.
• Do not turn the camera o or remove the memory card while the memo-
O
ry card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.
Memory cards can be locked, making it
impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting a mem­ory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked position. Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of
children. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical assistance immediately. miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than memory
cards may not eject normally; if the card does not eject, take the cam­era to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card. Do not a x labels or other objects to memory cards. Peeling labels
can cause camera malfunction. Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory
card. Formatting a memory card in the camera creates a folder in which
pictures are stored. Do not rename or delete this folder or use a com­puter or other device to edit, delete, or rename image  les. Always use the camera to delete pictures; before editing or renaming  les, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals. Renaming the  les on the camera can cause problems during playback.

For Best Results
For best results, use a lens with a focal length of 35 mm or less (50 mm or less in 35 mm format). Prop your elbows against your sides and move the camera slowly in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the camera par­allel or at right angles to the horizon and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the guides. Use a tripod for best results. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a di erent speed.

before the panorama is complete. Panoramas are created from multiple frames, and the camera may in
some cases be unable to stitch the frames together perfectly. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.
Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or
too slowly. Panning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting. The camera may in some cases record a greater or lesser angle than
selected. The desired results may not be achieved with:

-
Unvarying subjects such as the sky or a  eld of grass
-
Subjects that are in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls
-

Color Temperature
Color temperature is an objective measure of the color of a light source, expressed in Kelvin (K). Light sources with a color temperature close to that of direct sunlight appear white; light sources with a lower color tempera­ture have a yellow or red cast, while those with a higher color temperature are tinged with blue. You can match color temperature to the light source, or choose options that di er sharply from the color of the light source to make pictures “warmer” or “colder.”
