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.
