ATTACHING THE STRAP, LENS CAP AND LENS HOOD

LOADING THE BATTERIES

Attaching the lens hood

Compatible batteries

When attaching the lens hood, it is effective for

reducing ghost images and flare in backlit scenes.

Camera provides crisp, clear shots.

h AA-size alkaline batteries (4) or AA-size Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (4) (sold separately)

Use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

●

1Align the indicators on the camera and lens

hood, and fit the lens hood to the lens.

How to use the batteries

◆

h Never use the following types of batteries, as they could cause serious

problems such as battery fluid leakage or overheating:

1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings

Outer casing

2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries

together

h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.

h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries

can be used.

h The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries)

can be used varies depending on the brand. Some brands of alkaline batteries may stop providing

power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the

time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F to

+50°F). The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason.

2Turn the lens hood clockwise until it clicks.

h Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.

h See P.125-126 for other notes on using batteries.

h When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the amount of time which AA-size

Ni-MH batteries can be used may be short. See P.126 for more information.

Check that the camera is turned off (set the Power

switch to “OFF”) before opening the battery cover.

●

If opening the battery cover while the camera is still on, the

camera will turn off.

●

Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Storing lens hood

◆

As in storing lens hood into the soft case, the lens

hood can be attached upside down.

Do not open the battery cover while the camera is

on. This could damage the media or ruin the image

files on the media.

Load the batteries correctly as indicated by the

polarity icons.

Press on the battery cover to push the batteries

down.

Slide the cover closed.

http://home.fujifilm.com/products/digital/

●

Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries used, the transition from “C” to “V” may occur more

quickly.

●

Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold

locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.

✽ Battery level warning

Insert only the appropriate media types into the xD-Picture Card and CF/Microdrive slots. Inserting the incorrect

media will damage the camera or media.

If the media is oriented incorrectly, it will not go all the way into the slot. Do not apply force when inserting an

xD-Picture Card or a CF/Microdrive.

●

1) The camera’s estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode.

Consequently, even if “C” or “V” is not displayed in Playback mode, one of them may appear when you change

to Photography mode.

2) Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first

displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly likely to happen when batteries that have run out of charge

once are re-used.

●

If the media is not fully inserted into the slot, [CARD ERROR] appears.

Close the slot cover.

In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.

◆

If the camera is left unused for 2 or 5 minutes, the Auto power off function turns the camera off (➡P.104).

FOCUSING DISTANCE

EXPOSURE SHUTTER SPEED AND APERTURE

The distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance.

Exposure refers to the light that hits the CCD or the total amount of captured light and determines

the brightness of the image.

When the shooting distance is set correctly and the image appears sharp, the image is focused.

The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (Auto-

exposure), the camera determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as the brightness

of the subject and the sensitivity setting.

■ Three focusing methods

The mechanisms for focusing are S-AF (Single AF), C-AF (Continuous AF) and MF (Manual focus).

S-AF: Use S-AF for normal photography. In this mode, the camera focuses each time the shutter

button is pressed down halfway. Select the AF mode (➡P.68) when the Mode dial is set to

“N”, “M”, “<” or “>” mode.

The graph at left shows the way the aperture and shutter speed settings can

be changed while maintaining the same exposure level.

h When the aperture is decreased by one step, the shutter speed also

decreases by one step (the dot moves upper left).

The AF sensor

◆

The FinePix S9000 / FinePix S9500 uses an external AF sensor (external-light passive phase

difference AF) that features faster AF operation than previous models. The external AF sensor does not

function when Macro mode, Super macro mode, the digital zoom, AREA or C-AF focusing is used. It

may take longer to focus if the external AF sensor is soiled (➡P.132).

h When the aperture is increased by one step, the shutter speed also

increases by one step (the dot moves lower right).

h Combinations that result in the shutter speed or aperture being outside the

available range of settings cannot be selected (white dots).

h In the “N”, “M” and “<” Photography modes, it is easy to select different

settings along this line.

C-AF: Use C-AF to photograph moving subjects. When this mode is set, the camera focuses

continuously on the subject in the center of the screen. See P.48 for details.

h Selecting settings that run parallel to this line by adjusting the brightness of

the photographed image is referred to as exposure compensation.

MF: The focus is adjusted by turning the focusing ring manually. See P.49 for details.

Suppressed flash

◆

x Auto flash

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The flash fires as

required by the shooting conditions.

Pressing the flash down changes the camera to

Suppressed flash mode.

Use this mode for taking pictures using indoor

lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for

photography in places such as theaters or at indoor

sporting events where the distance is too great for

the flash to be effective. When you use Suppressed

flash, the selected white balance function (➡P.66)

operates so that natural colors are captured along

with the ambience of the available light.

If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will

be taken without the flash.

●

Red-eye reduction

Use this mode to guarantee that the subject’s eyes appear

normal when taking pictures of people in low-light

conditions. The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture

is taken and then fires again to take the actual picture. The

flash fires as required by the shooting conditions.

Use a tripod to prevent camera shake when shooting in

Suppressed flash mode in the dark condition.

See P.130 for information on the camera shake warning.

●

If pressing the shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will

be taken without the flash.

Red-eye effect

◆

When using the flash to take a picture of people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes

appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye.

Use Red-eye reduction flash to minimize the likelihood of this effect.

Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:

h Get the subjects to look at the camera. h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

Forced flash

Use this mode in backlit scenes, such as a subject against

a window or in the shade of a tree, or to get the correct

colors when taking a picture under bright lighting. In this

mode, the flash fires in bright as well as dark conditions.

Slow synchro

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter speed. This

allows you to take pictures of people at night that clearly

show both your subjects and the night time backdrop. To

prevent camera shake, always use a tripod.

h Slowest shutter speed

“/” Night: up to 4 sec.

Red-eye reduction + Slow synchro

Use this mode for Slow synchro shots with Red-eye reduction.

●

The image may be overexposed when shooting bright scenes.

To take a picture of a main subject at night with the

background brightly lit, use the “/” Night setting in

Photography mode (➡P.40).

Notes on using Microdrives for movie shooting

◆

If the camera’s internal temperature rises too high, movie shooting stops to protect the media. Because

Microdrives tend to generate heat (for mechanical reasons), long periods of continuous movie shooting

may not be possible when the ambient temperature is high. As a general guide to shooting times, you

can shoot movies for around 20 minutes at an ambient temperature of +30°C/+86°F and for around 30

minutes at +25°C/+77°F.

1 If the camera’s internal temperature rises during shooting, “MICRODRIVE IS OVERHEATING.

MOVIE RECORDING WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP SOON” appears.

2 This then changes to “PLEASE STOP MOVIE RECORDING!”. If you continue shooting, the movie is

saved and the camera shuts down.

3 If you then immediately try to start shooting again, “MOVIE RECORDING HAS STOPPED CANNOT

RESTART A WHILE” appears and you cannot start shooting. Turn the camera off and do not use it

for roughly 30 minutes until it has cooled down. Note that you can still shoot still images during this

period.

●

Because the Microdrive is hot just after a movie is recorded, do not remove the Microdrive immediately.

Power Supply and Batteries

Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries

correctly

h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-

MH batteries (referred to hereafter as Ni-MH

batteries) are superior to alkaline batteries in several

ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with

the camera. However, care must be taken with the

way Ni-MH batteries are used if their original

performance is to be maintained.

h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long

periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly

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 problem 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. By repeating this

cycle several times, the temporary reduction in

performance caused by “memory” or “deactivation”

can be remedied and the batteries can be restored

to their original performance levels.

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter AC-5VX with the

camera.

Discharging rechargeable batteries

The “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function can only be used with Ni-MH

batteries.

The “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function should not be used with

alkaline batteries as it will completely drain the battery charge.

Use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function in the following situations:

i When the batteries only last for a short time after being charged normally

i When the batteries have not been used for a long period

i When you purchase new Ni-MH batteries

The use of an AC Power adapter other than AC-5VX

can be damaged to your digital camera.

h Use the AC power adapter for indoor use only.

h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC

input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

h Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before

disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital

camera’s DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out

the plug gently. Do not pull on the cord.

h Do not use the AC power adapter with any device

other than your camera.

h During use, the AC power adapter will become hot

to the touch. This is normal.

h Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so

could be dangerous.

h Do not use the AC power adapter in a hot and

humid place.

h Do not subject the AC power adapter to strong

shocks.

Set the Power switch to “w”.

h The AC power adapter may emit a humming. This is

normal.

h If used near a radio, the AC power adapter may

cause static. If this happens, move the camera away

from the radio.

Press the “MENU/OK” button to display the menu

on the screen.

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries”

function when alkaline batteries being used.

ERASE

h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery

charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions

supplied with the charger to make sure that the

charger is used correctly.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge other

batteries.

FRAME

ALL FRAMES

h Note that the batteries feel warm after being

charged.

●

Do not use the procedure for discharging rechargeable

batteries with alkaline batteries.

h Due to the way the camera is constructed, 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

overdischarge the batteries and may render them

unusable even after recharging.

h 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.

1Press “a” or “b” to select “˜” SET-UP.

2Press “c”.

h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if

overdischarged (e.g. by discharging the batteries in

a flashlight). Use the “Discharging rechargeable

batteries” function provided in the camera to

discharge the batteries.

h Ni-MH batteries have a limited 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.

Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot

be achieved.

Battery Type

Ni-MH batteries

Alkaline batteries

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.

According to the CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standard procedure

for measuring digital still camera battery consumption (extract):

When using alkaline batteries, use the batteries supplied with the camera. You can use

Ni-MH batteries also. The storage media should be xD-Picture Card or Microdrive.

Pictures should be taken at a temperature of +23°C (+73°F), with the LCD monitor

turned on, AF-assist illuminator off, the optical zoom moved from full wide-angle to full

telephoto (or vice-versa) and back again to its original position every 30 seconds, the

flash used at full power every second shot and the camera turned off and then on again

once every 10 shots.

h Note: Because the number of available shots varies depending on the capacity of

alkaline batteries or the level of charge in Ni-MH batteries, the figures shown

here for the number of available shots using batteries are not guaranteed.

The number of available shots will also decline at low temperatures.

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.

Memory effect

Camera dimensions (W/H/D) 128.0 mm × 93.0 mm × 129.0 mm/5.0 in. × 3.7 in. × 5.1 in.

If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its

original level. This is referred to as the “memory effect”.

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.

✽ 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.
