Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals, which could discolor or deform the leather on the camera body. Any liquid on the camera should be removed immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Use a blower to remove dust from the monitor, taking care to avoid scratches, and then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small amount of lens-cleaning  uid has been applied. To prevent dust entering the camera, replace the body cap when no lens is in place.

Image sensor: Dust can be removed from the image sensor using the V SENSOR CLEANING option in the setup menu (P 110).

Interchangeable lenses: Use a blower to remove dust, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to which a small amount of lens-cleaning  uid has been applied. Replace the front and rear caps when the lens is not use.

“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between 200 and 6400, or select low-gain (L (100)) or high-gain (H (12800), H (25600), or H (51200)) options for special situations. Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while lower values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at higher gains, while choosing the low-gain option reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations. If AUTO1, AUTO2, or AUTO3 is selected, the camera will adjust sensitivity automatically in response to shooting conditions.

Press MENU/OK in shooting mode to display the shooting menu. Press the selector up or down to

highlight N ISO and press MENU/OK.

Press the selector up or down to highlight the desired option and press MENU/OK to select.

R Sensitivity is not reset when the camera is turned o . R The low-gain option reset to ISO 200 and the high-gain options to ISO 6400 when RAW, FINE+RAW, or

NORMAL+RAW is selected for image quality (P 93). For more information on the settings available with low- and high-gain options, see page 151.

The camera automatically chooses a sensitivity between the default and maximum values. Sensitivity is only raised above the default value if the shutter speed required for optimal exposure would be slower than the value selected for MIN. SHUTTER SPEED.

R If the value selected for DEFAULT SENSITIVITY is higher than that selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY, DEFAULT

SENSITIVITY will be set to the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.

R The camera may select shutter speeds slower than MIN. SHUTTER SPEED if pictures would still be underex-

posed at the value selected for MAX. SENSITIVITY.

: 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 as shown in the following table, or choose options that di er sharply from the color of the light source to make pictures “warmer” or “colder.”

Choose for redder light sources or “colder” pictures

Choose for bluer light sources
