!

Always use the FUJIFILM products listed on the above.

●

!

See P.99 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

●

!

Do not connect the AC power adapter directly to the camera

●

to charge the battery.

!

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and

●

shall be easily accessible.

country of use.

Check that the camera is turned off. Set the
camera in the cradle.

!

Only connect and disconnect the AC power adapter when the

●

camera is off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the
camera is on temporarily interrupts the power supply to the
camera, so that images or movies being shot are not
recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first can also result in
damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC
connection.

Charging the battery

◆

When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long
period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the indicator lamp
does not turn red).
This is not a camera fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Battery
may degrade when charged at high temperatures.
Leave the camera connected to the cradle, and charging will automatically begin within 30 minutes.

the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may
remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.

EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

¨

To obtain the optimum brightness

◆

Adjust the exposure compensation according to the level of brightness or darkness in the image.
h When the subject appears too bright

Try a negative (–) compensation setting.
This will make the overall image darker.

■ Guide to compensation

i Backlit portraits: +2 steps to +4 steps (+
i Very bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjects: +3 steps (+1 EV)
i Shots made up predominantly of sky: +3 steps (+1 EV)
i Spotlit subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds: –2 steps (–
i Scenes with low reflectivity, such as shots of pine trees or dark foliage: –2 steps (–

46

Sets the “Exposure compensation” (➡P.46), “White balance”
(➡P.47) and “AF mode” (➡P.48) to manual to easily control
yourself.

Used in a wide range of conditions. This is the easiest mode for
taking pictures.

This mode produces beautiful images that retain the natural
ambience when shots are taken in low-light conditions. This
mode is also ideal for situations where the flash cannot be
used.
Sample uses:

• Portraits of sleeping children, pets and birthday cakes

• Candlelit services (weddings, etc.) and school concerts

• Restaurants, aquariums, museums and churches

Used for photography getting beautiful skin tones and soft
overall tone.

Used for shooting scenery in daylight and provides crisp, clear
shots of scenery such as buildings and mountains.

Used for shooting sporting events. This mode gives priority to
faster shutter speeds.

Used for shooting evening and night scenes. This mode allows
you to take shots where priority is given to slow shutter speeds
of up to 4 seconds. Place the camera on a stable surface to
prevent camera shake.

Available Photography mode: s

Use this function for shots to get the correct
brightness (exposure), such as shots with
extremely high contrast between the subject and
the background.

h Compensation range

–2 EV to +2 EV (13 steps in 1/3 EV increments)
See P.107 for more information on EV.

!

Any of the following disables exposure compensation:

●

i Using the flash in Auto or Red-eye reduction mode
i Shooting dark scenes in Forced flash mode

◆

h When the subject appears too dark

Try a positive (+) compensation setting.
This will make the overall image brighter.

SPECIFYING DPOF SETTINGS EASILY

DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format and refers to a format that is used for
recording printing specifications for images shot using a digital camera on media such as
an xD-Picture Card. The recorded specifications include information on which frames
are to be printed.

This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with the FinePix Z1.

✽ Some printers do not support date and time imprinting or specification of the number of

prints.

✽ The warnings shown below may appear while specifying the prints.

“DPOF SPECIFIED. ERASE OK ?”
“DPOF SPECIFIED. ERASE ALL OK ?”

When erasing the image, the DPOF setting for that image is deleted at the same time.

“RESET DPOF OK ?”

When inserting an xD-Picture Card that contains images specified for printing by
another camera, those print specifications are all reset and replaced by the new print
specifications.

[DPOF FILE ERROR]

Up to 999 images can be specified on the same xD-Picture Card.

off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.

h The number of available frames will be lower in cold

locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged NP-40.
You can also increase the amount of power
produced by putting the NP-40 in your pocket or
another warm place to heat it and then loading it into
the camera just before you take a picture.
If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place
the NP-40 directly against the pad. The camera may

Soft case

Battery

(NP-40)

not operate if you use a depleted NP-40 in cold
conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

h You can charge the battery using the camera, cradle

and the AC power adapter (included).
i The NP-40 can be charged at ambient

temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and
+104°F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C
(+73°F), it takes approx. 2 hours to charge a fully
depleted NP-40 battery.

i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient

temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F
and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a
temperature outside this range, charging takes
longer because the performance of the NP-40 is
impaired.

i You cannot charge the NP-40 at temperatures of

0°C (+32°F) or below.

h You can also use the optional Battery Charger BC-

65 to charge the NP-40. When charging, use the
NP-40 battery adapter supplied with the BC-65
(Refer to the Owner’s Manual for details).
i The NP-40 can be charged using the BC-65

Battery Charger at ambient temperatures between
0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an
ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes
approx. 95 minutes to charge a fully depleted NP­40 battery.

i You should charge the NP-40 at an ambient

temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F
and +95°F). If you charge the NP-40 at a
temperature outside this range, charging takes
longer because the performance of the NP-40 is
impaired.

h The NP-40 does not need to be fully discharged or

exhausted flat before being charged.

h The NP-40 may feel warm after it has been charged

or immediately after being used. This is perfectly
normal.

h Do not recharge a fully charged NP-40.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-40 can be used at
least 300 times.
If the time for which the NP-40 provides power
shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-40 has
reached the end of its effective life and should be
replaced.

Notes on storage

The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery NP-40 is both
compact and capable of storing large quantities of
power. However, if it is stored for long periods while
charged, the performance of the battery can be
impaired.
h If the battery will not be used for some time, run the

battery out before storing it.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the battery from the camera.

h Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store

in a cool place.

✽ The battery should be stored in a dry location with

an ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C
(+59°F and +77°F).

✽ Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold

places.

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-5VW with the
camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than
AC-5VW can be damaged to your digital camera.

h Use the AC Power Adapter for indoor use only.
h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC

input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

h

Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before
disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital
camera’s DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out
the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.

h Do not use the AC power adapter with any device

other than your camera.

h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot

to the touch. This is normal.

h Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so

could be dangerous.

h Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot and

humid place.

h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong

shocks.

h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. This is

normal.

■ Handling the Battery

To avoid injury or damage, observe the
following:

h Do not carry or store battery with metal objects such

as necklaces or hairpins.

h Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.
h Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery.
h Do not recharge the battery with chargers other

those specified.

h Dispose of used battery promptly.

To avoid damaging the battery or shortening
its life, observe the following:

h Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to

strong impacts.

h Do not expose the battery to water.

To make sure that you obtain optimum battery
performance, observe the following:

h Always keep the battery terminals clean.
h Do not store battery in warm or humid places.

Storing the battery for long periods in a hot location
can shorten the battery life.

If you use the battery for a long period, the camera
body and the battery itself will become warm. This
is normal. Use the AC power adapter supplied with
the camera if you are taking pictures or viewing
images for a long period of time.

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

Warning Displays eThe table below lists the warnings that are displayed on the LCD monitor.

■ Image Memory Card

h This Image Memory Card is a new image

recording media (xD-Picture Card) developed for
digital cameras. The Image Memory Card consists
of a semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash
memory) to record digital image data.
The recording process is electrically performed
and enables erasure of existing image data as well
as re-recording of new image data.

h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory

Card that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to
format the card with your digital camera before
using it.

■ Protecting Your Data

h Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the

following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM
assumes no responsibility for data that is lost or
destroyed.

1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power
off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,
during record, erase, initialization, and playback
operations).

2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by
the user or third party.

h Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO

disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

■ Handling xD-Picture Card

h When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that

they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-
Picture Card could be swallowed cause suffocation.
If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek
medical attention or call emergency number right
away.

h When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the

camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you
push it in.

h Do not expose an xD-Picture Card to shock. Do not

apply pressure, and avoid bending.

h Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot and

humid places.

h Clean the xD-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of

cloth when dirty.

h When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep

it in the special protective case.

h The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but

will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play
back images or movies. If this happens replace it
with a new xD-Picture Card.

h Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the

camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-
Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged
to the xD-Picture Card.

h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with

the FinePix Z1.
The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when
xD-Picture Cards other than those manufactured by
FUJIFILM are used.

h The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is

removed from the camera after taking pictures. This
is normal.

h Do not put labels on the xD-Picture Card. Peeling

labels can cause the camera not to work properly.

100

■ Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

h When taking pictures using an xD-Picture Card that

has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-Picture
Card using your camera for best quality.

h When formatting an xD-Picture Card, a directory

(folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in
this directory.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file

names on the xD-Picture Card because this will
make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in
your camera.

h Always use the camera to erase image data on an

xD-Picture Card.

h To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC

and edit the copy.

EV

A number denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed)
of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the
subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the
aperture and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the
EV decreases by 1.

Frame rate (fps)

The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For
example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10
fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).

JPEG

Joint Photographic Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss
of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.

Motion JPEG

A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file
are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.

Smear

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light
source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

WAVE

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and
the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this
camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player

White Balance

Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand,
devices such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of
the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance.

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for
optimal printing.

✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later

✽ These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting

from errors in this Owner’s Manual.

✽ The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, small

bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the monitor. These are normal display
characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor. This phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image.

✽ The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by the strong radio interference (i. e. electric fields, static

electricity, line noise, etc.).

✽ Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of images may appear distorted. This is normal.
