Inserting the Batteries

The camera takes two AA alkaline (LR6) batteries (supplied) or two AA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries

(sold separately). Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.

Open the battery-chamber cover.

Close the battery-chamber cover.

ANote

Be sure the camera is

off before opening the

battery-chamber cover.

C Cautions

• Do not open the battery-

chamber cover when

the camera is on. Failure to observe this

precaution could result in damage to image

files or memory cards.

C Cautions

• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.

• Never use batteries with

Batteryy caassiinngg

peeling or damaged casing

or mix old and new batteries,

batteries with different charge

levels, or batteries of different

types. Failure to observe these precautions

could result in the batteries leaking or

overheating.

• Never use manganese or Ni-Cd. Replace AA alkaline

batteries with batteries of the same make and

grade as those supplied with the camera.

• If the battery-chamber cover can not be latched easily,

confirm the battery orientation first. Do not use

excessive force to latch it.

• Do not use excessive force when handling the

battery-chamber cover.

Insert the batteries.

Insert the batteries in the

orientation shown by the

“E” and “F” marks inside

the battery chamber.

Inserting a Memory Card

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, dappears 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 65). 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.

■ Compatiibbllee MMeemmoorryy CCaarrddss

SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and 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

MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture cards.

C 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.

Write-prooteecctt sswwiittcch

Inserting a Memory Card

■ Inserting aa MMeemoorryy CCaarrd

Inserting a Memory Card

Removing Memory Cards

Be sure the camera is off before opening the

battery-chamber cover. Press the card in and then

release it slowly. The card can now be removed by

hand.

C Cautions

• The memory card may spring out if you remove

your finger immediately after pushing the card in.

• Memory cards may be warm to the touch after

being removed from the camera. This is normal

and does not indicate a malfunction.

Inserting a Memory Card

C Cautions

• Format 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, see page 73.

• 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.

• Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe

this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. 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 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.

• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.

• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card.

• 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

files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or

renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

picture in a format not supported by the

printer.

CAN NOT BE PRINTED

Glossary

Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details

visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.

Discharge: The capacity of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will drop if they are repeatedly charged without first being

fully discharged. Full capacity can be restored by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the

option in the camera setup menu and recharging them using a battery charger (sold separately).

DISCHARGE

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders”

stored in internal memory or on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to

be printed and the number of copies of each picture.

EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount

of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV

increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering

the camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.

Exif Print: A standard that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproduction

during printing.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed file format for color images. The higher the compression

rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.

Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format that stores images and sound in a single file, with the images

recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG files can be played in QuickTime 3.0 or later.

Smear: A phenomenon specific to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources,

such as the sun or reflected sunlight, appear in the frame.

WAV (Waveform Audio Format): A standard Windows audio file format. WAV files have the extension “*.WAV” and

may be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV files can be played using

Windows Media Player or QuickTime 3.0 or later.

White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objects

that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital

cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This

process is known as “white balance.”

Internal Memory/Memory Card Capacity

The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at different image

qualities. All figures are approximate; file size varies with the scene recorded, producing wide

variations in the number of files that can be stored. The number of exposures or length remaining

may not diminish at an even rate.

Notices

• Specifications subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from

errors in this manual.

• Although the monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology, small bright points and

anomalous colors (particularly in the vicinity of text) may appear. This is normal for this type of monitor and

does not indicate a malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.

• Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g., electric fields, static

electricity, or line noise).

• Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.

Sttooraagee anndd Use

■Conddeennssaattiioonn

If the camera will not be used for an extended

period, remove the batteries and memory card.

Do not store or use the camera in locations that

are:

• exposed to rain, steam, or smoke

• very humid or extremely dusty

• exposed to direct sunlight or very high

temperatures, such as in a closed vehicle on a

sunny day

Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur

when entering a heated building on a cold day,

can cause condensation inside the camera. If

this occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour

before turning it on again. If condensation forms

on the memory card, remove the card and wait

for the condensation to dissipate.

Cleaning

Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and

monitor, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Any remaining stains can be removed by wiping

gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning

paper to which a small amount of lens-cleaning

fluid has been applied. Care should be taken to

avoid scratching the lens or monitor. The camera

body can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile

chemicals.

• extremely cold

• subject to strong vibration

• exposed to strong magnetic fields, such as

near a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar

emitter, motor, transformer, or magnet

• in contact with volatile chemicals such as

pesticides

• next to rubber or vinyl products

■Watteerr aanndd SSaannd

Exposure to water and sand can also damage the

camera and its internal circuitry and mechanisms.

When using the camera at the beach or seaside,

avoid exposing the camera to water or sand. Do

not place the camera on a wet surface.

Traveling

Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage.

Checked baggage may suffer violent shocks that

could damage the camera.
