Loading the Battery

Battery is required to operate the digital camera. At first, load the battery in the camera.

Z Compatible battery

Rechargeable Battery NP-40 (1)

Terminals

CAUTION

• The battery is not fully charged at shipment and must be fully charged before being used.

• Do not stick labels onto the battery as this could cause the battery to become jammed inside the camera.

• Any contact between the battery terminals could cause the battery to short circuit and overheat.

• See p.126-127 for information on the battery.

• Always use the Rechargeable Battery NP-40 (included). The use of other brands of rechargeable battery could cause faults or damage to the camera.

Indicator

1 Open the battery cover.

CHECK

Check that the camera is turned off before opening the battery cover.

CAUTION

• Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on. This could damage the xD-Picture Card or ruin the image files on the xD-Picture Card.

• Do not apply force to the battery cover.

2 Load the battery.

Open the battery cover, and unlock the battery release catch with your finger.

CAUTION

Make sure the camera is turned off before removing the battery.

Charging the Battery

The battery is not fully charged at shipment and must be fully charged before being used.

Connecting the AC power adapter to the camera

AConnect the AC power adapter to the camera.

BPlug the connecting

cable into the AC power adapter.

CPlug the connecting

cable into the power outlet.

CHECK

Loading the Battery (➝p.14)

CAUTION

• Always check that the camera is turned off.

• Make sure the AC power adapter is fully and securely inserted into the multi-connector adapter connection socket.

Z Using the AC power adapter

You can take pictures and play back images without worrying about depleting the battery.

CAUTION

• Always use the FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-5VZ (included).

• See p.128 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

• 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, which will stop the recording of images or movies being shot. Failing to turn the camera off before connecting/ disconnecting can also result in damage to the xD- Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

• The power outlet should be nearby the equipment and easily accessible.

• The shape of the plug and power outlet depends on the country of use.

Camera operation during charging

When connection is completed, battery charging begins. Charging ends after about 2 hours.

Indicator lamp

CHECK Indicator lamp

[During charging] Lit red [Charging completed] Off [Charging error] Blinking red (➝p.136)

Battery protection function

When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long period, 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 AC power adapter, and charging will automatically begin within 30 minutes.

CAUTION Notes on charging the battery

• Turning the camera on during charging interrupts the charging.

• Charging times increase at low temperatures.

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check the battery level indicator on the LCD monitor.

AThere is ample battery charge. (Lit white) BThe battery is almost half charged. (Lit white) CThere is insufficient charge left in the battery. The

battery will soon run out. Have a charged battery ready. (Lit red)

DThe battery is depleted. The display will shortly go

blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or recharge the battery. (Blinking red)

CAUTION

• Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level

indicator ( , , or V) may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations. Try warming the battery in your pocket or a similar location before use.

• Battery with no remaining charge (V blinking red)

may cause camera faults. Always load a fully charged battery.

• Depending on the camera mode, the transition from

to V may occur more quickly.
