Removing the Battery
Before removing the battery or memory card, turn the camera o and open the battery-chamber cover.
To remove the battery, press the battery latch to the side, and slide the battery out of the camera as shown.
The battery may become hot when used in high-temperature environ-
O
ments. Observe caution when removing the battery.

Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card
Compatible Memory Cards
The camera can be used with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory
•
cards. The camera supports UHS-I memory cards.
•
To record movies, use cards with a UHS speed class of 3 or better
•
or a video speed class of V30 or better. A list of supported memory cards is available on the Fuji lm
•
website. For details, visit:
https://fujifilm-x.com/support/compatibility/cameras/
2
First Steps
• 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.

Charging the Battery
The battery is not charged at shipment. Charge the battery before use.
• An NP-W126S rechargeable battery is supplied with the camera.
O
Turn the camera o for charging.
•
The camera can be charged via USB. USB charging is available
•
with computers with a manufacturer-approved operating sys­tem and USB interface.
Leave the computer on during charging.
• The battery will not charge while the camera is on.
O
Connect the supplied USB cable.
•
Connect the camera directly to the computer; do not use a USB hub
•
or keyboard. Charging stops if the computer enters sleep mode. To resume
•
charging, activate the computer and disconnect and reconnect the USB cable. Charging may not be supported depending on the model of com-
•
puter, computer settings, and the computer’s current state. The battery takes about 5 hours to charge with a charging input of
•
5 V/500 mA.
2
First Steps
To charge the battery from a household AC power outlet, use a
•
BC-W126S battery charger (available separately).

First Steps
Do not a x labels or other objects to the battery. Failure to observe
•
O
this precaution could make it impossible to remove the battery from the camera. Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.
•
Read the cautions in “The Battery and Power Supply”.
•
Use only genuine Fuji lm rechargeable batteries designated for use
•
in this camera. Failure to observe this precaution could result in prod­uct malfunction. Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt to split or peel
•
the outer casing. The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use. Charge the
•
battery one or two days before use. If the battery fails to hold a charge, it has reached the end of its
•
charging life and must be replaced. Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth. Failure
•
to observe this precaution could prevent the battery from charging. Note that charging times increase at low or high temperatures.
•
If the camera is turned on during charging,
•
N
charging will end and the USB connection will instead be used to power the camera. The battery level will begin to gradually decline (P 241). The camera will display a “power supply” icon when powered via USB.
