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, d appears 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 89). 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.

■ Compatible Memory Cards

SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. Use

a card with a class 4 write speed (4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies. 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

SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or

delete images. Before inserting an SD memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the

unlocked position.

Inserting a Memory Card

• miniSD or microSD 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 affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels

can cause camera malfunction.

• Movie recording may be interrupted with some

types of SD 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.

Removing Memory Cards

After confirming that the camera

is off, 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.

• 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.

C Cautions

• 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 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 97.

• 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.

K Using the Flash (Super Intelligent Flash)

When the flash is used, the camera’s Super Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based

on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the

camera. Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed

while preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the

flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.

Choose a flash mode.

Press the selector right (K). The flash mode changes each time the

selector is pressed; in modes other than 4, the current mode

is indicated by an icon in the display. Choose from the following

options:

Modde

Descrippttion

The flash fires when required. Recommended in most situations.

The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural

coloration when shooting in bright light.

monitor at slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a

tripod is recommended.

W (SUPPRESSED

Shoot.

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to shoot.

C Caution

The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is

complete.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection is active (pg. 30), and ON is selected for a RED EYE REMOVAL

in the setup menu (pg. 93), red-eye removal is available in V, U, and Z. Red-eye removal

minimizes “red-eye” caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject’s retinas as

shown in the illustration at right.

J Using the Self-Timer

The camera offers a ten-second timer that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs,

and a two-second timer that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the

J Using the Self-Timer

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink

immediately before the picture is taken. If the two-

second timer is selected, the self-timer lamp will blink

as the timer counts down.

Intelligent Face Detection

Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 30) is

recommended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with

Intelligent Face Detection, turn Intelligent Face Detection on, set the timer as described in Step 1, and then

press the shutter button all the way down to start the timer. The camera will detect faces while the timer is

counting down and adjust focus and exposure immediately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to

move until the picture has been recorded.
