the battery charger (included).
- The battery can be charged
at ambient temperatures be-
tween 0°C and +40°C (+32°F
and +104°F). Refer to the Owner’s
Manual for the time of charging
battery.
- You should charge the battery
at an ambient temperature be-
tween +10°C and +35°C (+50°F

■ Battery Features
* For details on the batteries that
you can use, refer to the Owner’s
Manual of your camera.
• The battery gradually loses its
charge even when not used. Use
a battery that has been charged
recently (in the last day or two) to
take pictures.
■ Cautions for Using Battery
• Do not heat the batteries or throw
them into a fire.
- Do not leave the battery in hot or
extremely cold places.
• To maximize the life of the battery,
turn the camera off as quickly as
possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available frames will
be lower in cold locations or at low
temperatures. Take along a spare
fully charged battery. You can also
increase the amount of power pro-
duced by putting the battery in
your pocket or another warm place
to heat it and then loading it into
the camera just before you take a
picture.
• Do not carry or store batteries with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not expose the batteries to wa-
ter, and keep batteries from getting
wet or stored in moist locations.
• Do not attempt to take apart or
change the batteries, including
battery casings.
• Do not subject the batteries to
strong impacts.
• Do not use batteries that are leak-
ing, deformed, discolored.
■ Handling the Battery
Cautions for Your Safety:
• Do not carry or store battery with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not heat the battery or throw it
into a fire.
• Do not attempt to take apart or
change the battery.
• Do not recharge the battery with
chargers other those specified.
• The battery may feel warm after it
has been charged or immediately
after being used. This is perfectly
normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged
battery.

For Your Safety
• Do not store batteries in warm or
humid places.
• Keep the batteries out of reach of
babies and small children.
• Make sure that the battery polarity
(C and D) is correct.
• Do not use new with used batter-
ies. Do not use charged and dis-
charged batteries together.
If any liquid at all leaks from
the batteries, wipe the battery
compartment thoroughly and
then load new batteries.
• Ni-MH batteries have
a
limited
CAUTION
service life. If a battery can only
be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge-charge cycles,
it may have reached the end of its
service life.
Do not use the “Discharging re-
chargeable batteries” function when
alkaline batteries being used.
• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the
quick battery charger (sold sepa-
rately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to make
sure that the charger is used cor-
rectly.
If any battery fluid comes into
contact with your hands or
clothing, flush the area thor-
oughly with water. Note that
battery fluid can cause loss
of eyesight if it gets into your
eyes. If this occurs, do not rub
your eyes. Flush the fluid out
with clean water and contact
your physician for treatment.
■ Disposing of Batteries
• When disposing of batteries, do
so in accordance with your local
waste disposal regulations.
• Do not use different types or
brands of batteries at the same
time.
• Do not use the battery charger to
charge other batteries.
• Note that the batteries feel warm
after being charged.

• If you do not intend to use the
camera for a long period of time,
remove the batteries from the
camera. Note if the camera is left
with the batteries removed, the
time and date settings are cleared.
• The batteries feel warm right af-
ter being used. Before removing
the batteries, turn the camera off
and wait for the batteries to cool
down.
• Since batteries do not work well in
cold weather or locations, warm
the batteries by placing them in-
side your garments before use.
Batteries do not work well when
cold. They will work again when
the temperature returns to normal.
• Soil (such as fingerprints) on the
battery terminals makes the bat-
teries charge less reducing the
number of images. Carefully wipe
the battery terminals with a soft
dry cloth before loading.
■ AC Power Adapter
Always use the AC Power Adapter
with the camera. The use of an AC
Power adapter other than FUJIFILM
AC Power Adapter can be damaged
to your digital camera.
For details on the AC power adapter,
refer to the Owner’s Manual of your
camera.
• Due to the way the camera is con-
structed, a small amount of current
is used even when the camera is
turned off. Note in particular that
leaving Ni-MH batteries in the
camera for a long period will over-
discharge the batteries and may
render them unusable even after
recharging.
• Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge
even when not used, and the time
for which they can be used may be
shortened as a result.
• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate
rapidly if over-discharged (e.g.
by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the “Discharging re-
chargeable batteries” function pro-
vided in the camera to discharge
the batteries.
■ Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries
correctly
• Ni-MH batteries left unused in
storage for long periods can be-
come “deactivated”. Also, repeat-
edly charging Ni-MH batteries
that are only partially discharged
can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effect”. Ni-MH batteries
that are “deactivated” or affected
by “memory” suffer from the prob-
lem of only providing power for a
short time after being charged. To
prevent this problem, discharge
and recharge them several times
using the camera’s “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function.
Deactivation and memory are spe-
cific to Ni-MH batteries and are not
in fact battery faults.
• Use the AC power adapter for in-
door use only.
• Plug the connection cord plug se-
curely into the DC input terminal.
• Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital cam-
era before disconnecting the cord
from the DC input terminal. To dis-
connect, pull out the plug gently.
Do not pull on the cord.
• Do not use the AC power adapter
with any device other than your
camera.
• During use, the AC power adapter
will become hot to the touch. This
is normal.
See Owner’s Manual for the proce-
dure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.

Inserting a Memory Card
3 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 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 99.
• 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 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 memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed
(4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.
• 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 from memory cards; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or re-
name the copies, not the originals.

NUsing the Flash (Intelligent Flash)
When the flash is used, the camera’s 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.
Raise the flash.
Press the flash pop-up button to raise the flash.

2 Tip
Avoiding Blurred Pictures
There is no need to keep the shutter button pressed
during recording.
If the subject is poorly lit, blurring caused by camera
shake can be reduced using the LDUAL IS MODE
option in the setup menu (pg. 97). In Bmode, blur
caused by subject movement is also reduced (dual IS
mode).
Press the shutter button halfway to

end recording. Recording ends au-
tomatically when the movie reaches
maximum length or memory is full.
Sensitivity is raised when dual IS is in effect. Note that
blurring may still occur depending on the scene. We
recommend that you turn dual IS off when using a
tripod.
3 Caution
The indicator lamp lights while movies are being re-
corded. Do not open the battery chamber during
shooting or while the indicator lamp is lit. Failure to
observe this precaution could prevent the movie from
being played back.

3 Cautions
Disconnecting the Camera
• If a memory card containing a large number of images
is inserted, there may be a delay before the software
starts and you may be unable to import or save im-
ages. Use a memory card reader to transfer pictures.
• Make sure that the computer does not display a mes-
sage stating that copying is in progress and that the
indicator lamp is out before turning the camera off or
disconnecting the USB cable (if the number of imag-
es copied is very large, the indicator lamp may remain
lit after the message has cleared from the computer
display). Failure to observe this precaution could re-
sult in loss of data or damage to the memory card.
• Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing
memory cards.
• In some cases, it may not be possible to access pictures
saved to a network server using the supplied software
in the same way as on a standalone computer.
• The user bears all applicable fees charged by the
phone company or Internet service provider when
using services that require an Internet connection.
After confirming that the indicator lamp is out, follow
the on-screen instructions to turn the camera off and
disconnect the USB cable.
Uninstalling the Supplied Software
Only uninstall the supplied software when it is no lon-
ger required or before beginning reinstallation. After
quitting the software and disconnecting the camera,
drag the “FinePixViewer” folder from “Applications”
into the Trash and select Empty Trash in the Finder
menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and use
“Programs and Features” (Windows 7/Windows Vista)
or “Add or Remove Programs” (Windows XP) to unin-
stall MyFinePix Studio. Under Windows, one or more
confirmation dialogs may be displayed; read the con-
tents carefully before clicking OK.

self in a group picture or when you want to take
a picture without pressing the shutter button and
moving the camera.
• S10 SEC: Choose for self-portraits or for group
portraits that include the photographer.
• R2 SEC: Choose to avoid blur caused by the cam-
era moving when the shutter button is pressed.
• OFF: Self-timer off.
Start the timer.

TIMAGE QUALIITY
Intelligent Face Detection
Choose how much image files are compressed.
Select FINE (low compression) for higher image
quality, NORMAL (high compression) to increase
the number of pictures that can be stored.
Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects
will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 31) is
recommended when using the self-timer for group
portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer
with Intelligent Face Detection, select S10 SEC or
R2 SEC in the self-timer menu and then press the
shutter button all the way down to start the timer.
The camera will detect faces while the timer is count-
ing down and adjust focus and exposure immedi-
ately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to
move until the picture has been recorded.
1Note
The self-timer turns off automatically when the picture
is taken, a different shooting mode is selected, play-
back mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.

tom white balance options are displayed.
If “UNDER” is displayed, raise exposure compensa-
tion (pg. 42) and try again.

To give a deliberate color cast to your photographs,
measure a value for custom white balance using a col-
ored instead of a white object.

P DISCHHAARRGGEE ((NNii--MMHH BBaattteriies Only)
The capacity of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries may be temporarily reduced when new, after long peri-
ods of disuse, or if they are repeatedly recharged before being fully discharged. Capacity can be in-
creased by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the P DISCHARGE option and recharging
them in a battery charger (sold separately). Do not use P DISCHARGE with non-rechargeable batter-
ies, and note that the batteries will not discharge if the camera is powered by an optional AC power
adapter and DC coupler.
Selecting P DISCHARGE displays a
confirmation dialog. Press MENU/OK.
Press MENU/OK to begin discharging the batter-
ies. When the batteries are fully discharged,
the battery level indicator will blink red and
the camera will turn off. To cancel the process
before the batteries are fully discharged, press
DISP/BACK.

Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.
Sttoragee andd UUsse
■ Condeennssation
If the camera will not be used for an extended pe-
riod, remove the battery 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 tempera-
tures, such as in a closed vehicle on a sunny day
• extremely cold
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 be-
fore turning it on again. If condensation forms on
the memory card, remove the card and wait for
the condensation to dissipate.
Cleaning
• subject to strong vibration
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 pa-
per 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.
• exposed to strong magnetic fields, such as near
a broadcasting antenna, power line, radar emit-
ter, motor, transformer, or magnet
• in contact with volatile chemicals such as pesti-
cides
• next to rubber or vinyl products
■ Wateerr 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.

Glossary
Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details vis-
ible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders” stored
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 for storing information with pictures for optimal color reproduction during printing.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): An interface standard for the transmission of images and sound that
adds audio input to the DVI interface used to connect computers to displays.
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 sound and JPEG images in a single file. Motion JPEG
files can be played in Windows Media Player (requires DirectX 8.0 or later) or 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.”

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 electric-
ity, or line noise).
• Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal.
