Insert the batteries in the camera as described below. 1 Open the battery-chamber cover. First Steps 1 Note Be sure the camera is off before opening the batterychamber cover. 3 Cautions • Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the camera is on. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to image files or memory cards. • Do not use excessive force when handling the battery-chamber cover. Insert the batteries. 2 Insert the batteries in the orientation shown by the “+“ and “–“ marks inside the battery chamber. 4 3 Close the battery-chamber cover. 3 Cautions • Insert the batteries in the correct orientation. • Never use batteries with peelBattery casing ing or damaged casing or mix old and new batteries, batteries with different charge levels, or batteries of different types. Failure to observe these precautions could result in the batteries leaking or overheating. • Never use manganese or Ni-Cd. Replace AA alkaline batteries with batteries of the same make and grade as those supplied with the camera. • If the battery-chamber cover can not be latched easily, confirm the battery orientation first. Do not use excessive force to latch it. 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. First Steps When no memory card is inserted, q 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 60). 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. 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. 3 Caution Memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting a memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked position. Write-protect switch 5 Inserting a Memory Card ■ Inserting a Memory Card 3 Close the battery-chamber cover. 1 Open the battery-chamber cover. 2 Insert the memory card. Holding the memory card in the orientation shown below, slide it all the way in. Gold contacts Be sure card is in correct orientation; do not insert at an angle or use force. 6 Removing Memory Cards After turning the camera off, press the card in and then release it slowly. The card can now be removed by hand. 3 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. Inserting a Memory Card First Steps 3 Cautions • Format memory cards before first use or after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 69. • 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. • Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. 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 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. • Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction. • Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of 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. • 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. 7 Turning the Camera on and Off Shooting Mode Playback Mode Press the F button to turn the camera on.

Instead, details visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image. Discharge: The capacity of rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will drop if they are repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged. Full capacity can be restored by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the o DISCHARGE option in the camera setup menu and recharging them using a battery charger (sold separately). DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders” stored in internal memory or 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 that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproduction during printing. 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 images and sound in a single file, with the images recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG files can be played in QuickTime 3.0 or later. Appendix 84 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. 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.” Internal Memory/Memory Card Capacity The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at different image qualities. All figures are approximate; file size varies with the scene recorded, producing wide variations in the number of files that can be stored. The number of frames or length remaining may not diminish at an even rate.

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 electricity, or line noise). • Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images. This is normal. Appendix 89 IMPORTANT NOTICE: Read Before Using the Software BEFORE OPENING THE CD-ROM PROVIDED BY FUJIFILM CORPORATION, PLEASE READ THIS END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.
