The following describes the proper use of batteries and how to prolong
their life. Incorrect use can shor ten battery life or cause leakage, overheating, re, or exp losion.
Compatible Batteries
The camera takes AA alk aline, rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride),
or UL-certi ed lithium batteries. Do not use manganese, nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd), or non-UL certi ed lithium batteries, as the heat generated by these
batteries could damage the camera or cause malf unction.
CAUTION
Using Ba tteries

Page 5
For Your Safety
Batter y capacit y varies with make
and storage conditions. Some commercially-available batteries may
have less capacity than the batteries
provided with the camera.
Cautions: Handling Batteries
• D o not use batterie s that are leaking,
deformed, or discolored. Warning : If
the batter ies leak, clean the ba ttery
compar tment thoroughl y before inserting new batteries. If uid from
the batte ry comes into contac t with
skin or clothing, ush the a ected
area with water. If uid enters your eyes,
immediately ush the a ected area with
water an d seek med ical at tention . Do not
rub your ey es. Failu re to obser ve this pre cautio n could resu lt in loss of eye sight.
• Do not transport or store with
metal obje cts such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not disass emble or modify the
batteries or battery casing.
• Do not expose to strong physical
shocks.
• Do not expose to water, ame, or
heat, or store in warm or humid
conditions.
• Keep out of reach of infants and
small children.
• Insert in the cor rect orientation.
• Do not mix old and new bat teries,
batteries with di erent charge levels, or batteries of di erent types.
• If the camera will not be used for
an extended period, remove the
batteries. Note that the camera
clock will be reset (pg. 14).
• The batteries may be warm to the
touch immediately after use. Turn
the camera o and allow the batteries to cool b efore handling.
• Batter y capacity tends to decrease
at low temperatures. Keep spare
batteri es in a pocket or other war m
place and exchange as necessary.
Cold batteries may recover some
of their charge when warmed.
• Fingerprints and other foreign
matter on the battery terminals
can reduce battery performance.
Thoroughly clean the terminals
with a sof t, dry cloth before ins erting the bat teries in the camera.
Ni-MH Ba tteries
The capacity of Ni -MH batteries may
be temporarily reduced when new,
after lon g periods of disuse, or if t hey
are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunction. Capacity can b e increased by
repeatedly discharging the batteries
using the P DISCHARGE option in
the camera setup menu (pg. 100)
and rechargin g them using a batter y
charger (sol d separately). Do not us e
this option with alkaline batteries.
The camer a draws a small amount of
current even when o . Ni -MH batteries that have been left in the camera
for an extended period may be drawn
down to the point that they no longer
hold a charge. Battery performance
may also drop if the batteri es are run
down in a devi ce such as a ashli ght.
Use the P DISCHARGE option in the
camera setup menu to discharge NiMH batteries. Batteries that no lon-
ger hold a charge even after repeatedly being discharged and recharged
have reached the e nd of their servi ce
life and must be replaced.
Ni-MH bat teries can be recharged in
a batter y charger (so ld separately).
Batteries may become warm to the
touch af ter charging. Refer to the i nstructions provided with the charger
for more infor mation. Use the charger with compatible batteries only.
Ni-MH batteries gr adually lose their
charge when not in use.
Disposal
Dispose of used batteries in accord
with local regulations.
AC Power Adapter s (Available Sep arately)
Use only FUJIFILM AC power adapters designate d for use with this camera. Other adapters could damage
the camera.
• The a dapter is for indoor use o nly.
• Be sure the DC plug is securely
connected to the camera.
• Tur n the camera o before disconnectin g the adapter. Disconn ect the
adapter by the p lug, not the cable.
• Do not use with other devices.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not expose to high heat and
humidity.
• Do not subject to strong physical
shocks.
• T he adapter may hum o r become hot to
the touch duri ng use. This is normal.
• If the adapter causes radio interference, reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
Using the Camera
To ensure that images are recorde d
correctly, do not subject the camera
to impact or physical shocks while
images are being recorded.
Electrical Interference
This camera may interfere with hospital
or aviation equipment. Consult with
hospital or airline sta before using the
camera in a hospital or on an aircraft.
Liquid Crystal
In the event that t he monitor or electronic view nder is damaged, care
should be taken to avoid contact
with liquid crystal. Take the urgent
action indicated should any of the
following situations arise:
• If liquid c rystal comes in cont act wi th
your skin, clean the a rea with a cloth
and then wash thoroughly with
soap and running water.
• If liquid c rystal ent ers your eyes, ush
the a ected eye with clean water
for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical assistance.
• If liquid c rystal is sw allowe d, rinse
your mouth thoroughly with water.
Drink large quantities of water and
induce vomiting, then seek medical assistance.

Inserting a Memory Card
■■ Compatible Memory Cards
Write-protect
switch
Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) can be
used to store additional pictures.
When no memory card is inserted, a appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording
and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become corrupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and saved on
the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in internal memory
can also be copied to a memory card (see page 87). To prevent internal memory from becoming full,
be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.
When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.
Compatible Memory Cards
SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been approved for use in the camera. A complete list
of approved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/index.html.
Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used with xD-Picture Cards or
MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.
3 Caution
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.

Inserting a Memory Card
3 Cautions
• Do not turn the camera o or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or
deleted fro m the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.
• Format memory cards before rst use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer
or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 98.
• 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 the standard dimensions of an SD card 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 to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed
(4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.
• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the
repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.
• Formatting a memory card or internal memory 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 from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming les,
copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
