• Do not expose to water.  
• Keep the terminals clean.  
• The battery and camera body may become  
warm to the touch after extended use. This  
is normal.  
Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged  
battery. The battery does not however need  
to be fully discharged before charging.  
Li-ion Batteries  
Read this section if your camera uses a  
rechargeable Li-ion battery.  
The battery may be warm to the touch imme-  
diately after charging or use. This is normal.  
The battery is not charged at shipment.  
Charge the battery before use. Keep the bat-  
tery in its case when not in use.  
AA Alkalline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries  
Read this section if your camera uses AA  
alkaline or rechargeable AA Ni-MH bat-  
teries. Information on compatible battery  
types may be found elsewhere in the camera  
manual.  
Battery Life  
At normal temperatures, the battery can be  
recharged about 300 times. A noticeable de-  
crease in the length of time the battery will  
hold a charge indicates that it has reached  
the end of its service life and should be re-  
placed.  
Notes on the Battery  
The battery gradually loses its charge when  
not in use. Charge the battery one or two  
days before use.  
Cautions: Handling the Batteries  
• Do not expose to water, flame, or heat, or  
store in warm or humid conditions.  
• Do not transport or store with metal objects  
such as necklaces or hairpins.  
• Do not disassemble or modify the batteries  
or battery casing.  
• Do not subject to strong physical shocks.  
• Do not use batteries that are leaking, de-  
formed, or discolored.  
Battery life can be extended by turning the  
camera off when not in use.  
Storage  
Performance may be impaired if the battery is  
left unused for extended periods when fully  
charged. Run the battery flat before storing it.  
Battery capacity decreases at low tempera-  
tures; a depleted battery may not function at  
when cold. Keep a fully charged spare bat-  
tery in a warm place and exchange as nec-  
essary, or keep the battery in your pocket or  
other warm place and insert it in the camera  
only when shooting. Do not place the bat-  
tery in direct contact with hand warmers or  
other heating devices.  
If the camera will not be used for an extended  
period, remove the battery and store it in a  
dry place with an ambient temperature of  
from +15 °C to +25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F). Do  
not store in locations exposed to extremes of  
temperature.  
• Keep out of reach of infants and small chil-  
dren.  
• Insert in the correct orientation.

The camera draws a small amount of current  
even when off. Ni-MH batteries that have  
been left in the camera for an extended pe-  
riod may be drawn down to the point that  
they no longer hold a charge. Battery perfor-  
mance may also drop if the batteries are run  
down in a device such as a flashlight. Use the  
discharge option in the camera setup menu  
to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that  
no longer hold a charge even after repeat-  
edly being discharged and recharged have  
reached the end of their service life and must  
be replaced.

If the batteries leak, clean the battery  
compartment thoroughly before in-  
serting new batteries.  
If fluid from the battery comes into  
contact with skin or clothing, flush  
the affected area with water. If fluid  
enters your eyes, immediately flush the  
affected area with water and seek  
medical attention. Do not rub your eyes.  
Failure to observe this precaution could  
result in permanent visual impairment.  
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a bat-  
tery charger (sold separately). Batteries may  
become warm to the touch after charging.

Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card  
Compatible Memory Cards  
FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards have been ap-  
proved for use in the camera. A complete list of approved memory cards  
is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/compatibility/.  
Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used  
with xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.  
Q Memory Caarrds  
Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted  
or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution  
could damage the card.  
• Format SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards before first 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, seeKFORMAT” (P76).  
• 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/SDHC/SDXC memory 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 affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.  
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD/SDHC/SDXC memory  
card. Use a Gcard or better when shooting HD.  
• 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 files. Always use the camera to delete pictures; before  
editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies,  
not the originals.
