Using Your Camera Correctly

Read this information and the “Safety Notes” (➝“Notes

and Cautions”), to make sure you use your camera

correctly.

Z When the Camera is Not Used or is stored Periods

of Time

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

time, remove the battery and the Memory Card.

Z Places to Avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of

locations:

• In the rain or in very humid, dirty, or dusty places

• In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer

• Extremely cold places

• Places with strong vibration

• Places with smoke or steam

• Places subject to strong electric magnetic fields (such

as near broadcasting tower, power lines, radar, motors,

transformers, magnets, etc.)

Z Cleaning Your Camera

• Use a blower brush to remove any dust on the lens or

LCD monitor, and then gently wipe the camera with a

soft, dry cloth. If any soil remains, apply a small amount

of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens

cleaning paper and wipe gently.

• Do not scratch hard objects against the lens or LCD

monitor.

• Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do

not use volatile substances or cleaning products these

items can cause damage.

• In contact with chemicals such as pesticides

• Next to rubber or vinyl products

Z Using the Camera When Traveling

When traveling overseas, do not place your camera in the

check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected to violent

shocks, and the camera may be damaged inside or

outside.

Z Damaged by Water or Sand

FinePix J10 / FinePix J12 can be damaged on the inside

and outside by water and sand. When you are at the

beach or close to water, make sure that the camera is not

damaged by water or sand. Take care not to place the

camera on a wet surface.

Z Damaged by Condensation

If the camera is carried from a cold location into a warm

place, water droplets (condensation) may form on the

inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, turn

the camera off and wait an hour before using the camera.

Condensation may also form on the Memory Card. In this

event, remove the Memory Card and wait a short time.

105

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™, the SD Memory Card and the Internal Memory

Z Handling Memory Card

Z Internal Memory

• When inserting the Memory Card into the camera, hold

the Memory Card straight as you push it in.

• Never remove the Memory Card or turn the camera off

during data recording or erasing (Memory Card

formatting) as this could be damaged to the Memory

Card.

• Images held in the camera’s internal memory may be

corrupted or erased due to problems such as camera

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

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

• Data stored in the camera’s internal memory cannot be

guaranteed in the event that the camera is submitted for

repairs.

• The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with

FinePix J10 / FinePix J12.

• When the camera is repaired, any data stored in the

camera’s internal memory is subject to checking by the

repairer.

The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when xD-

Picture Cards other than those manufactured by

FUJIFILM are used.

• The Memory Card may feel warm when it is removed

from the camera after taking pictures. This is normal.

• Do not put labels on the Memory Card. Peeling labels

can cause the camera not to work properly.

Z Using Memory Card or Internal Memory with a PC

• When taking pictures using a Memory Card or internal

memory that has been used on a PC, reformat the

Memory Card using your camera.

• When formatting, a directory (folder) is created. Image

data is then recorded in this directory.

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

names on the Memory Card or internal memory

because this will make it impossible to use the Memory

Card or internal memory in your camera.

• Always use the camera to erase image data.

• To edit image data, copy or transfer the image data to

the PC and edit the copied or transferred data.

MEMO Type M and H of xD-Picture Card

• Type M

There are two types of Memory Card: standard type and

Type M (containing “M” in the model number, such as

DPC-M2GB).

FinePix J10 / FinePix J12 is compatible with Type M.

• Type H

Type H and M share the same compatibility.

• Usable USB drive

Type H cannot be used with xD-Picture Card USB

drive DPC-UD1, while Type M can.

122

If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model numbers containing “M” such as DPC-M2GB, movie recording time may be

reduced if you repeatedly record and erase (frame erase) image files. In such a case, erase all frames or format the xD-Picture Card

before use. Back up important frames (files) onto your PC or another media.

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.

123

Explanation of Terms

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.

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.
