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.
02
h Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
h See P.137-138 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.138 for more information.
Check that the camera is turned off (set the Power
switch to “OFF”) before opening the battery cover.

●
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.

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 S9100 / FinePix S9600 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.145).
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.

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.

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

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.

When used media is 4GB or more, a movie up to 60 minutes long (at the “%” setting) or 120 minutes
long (at the “$” setting) can be recorded.
Visit website for information on available Microdrive / CompactFlash card:
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.

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.

●
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.

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.

Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that
inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as
deactivated.
Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot
be achieved.

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.

Memory effect
✽ Number of recorded pixel is 4864 × 3648 when displaying images on PC by using FinePixViewer.
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”.
If you shoot using the xD-Picture Cards with model numbers containing “M” such as DPC-M1GB, 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.
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.
✽ These specifications are subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting
from errors in this Owner’s Manual.
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.
✽ 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.).
WAVE
A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and
the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this
camera.
✽ Due to the nature of the lens, the edges of images may appear distorted. This is normal.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player
✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later
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.
