 nger to hold it and gently release the card.

Request regular internal testing and cleaning for your camera. Build-up of dust in your

camera can cause a  re or electric shock. Contact your FUJIFILM dealer to

request internal cleaning every two years. Please note that this service is not

free of charge.

Using Batteries

The following describes the proper use of batteries and how to prolong

their life. Incorrect use can shorten battery life or cause leakage, overheat-

ing,  re, or explosion.

Compatible Batteries

The camera takes AA alkaline, rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride),

or UL-certi ed lithium batteries. Do not use manganese, nickel-cadmium

(Ni-Cd), or non-UL certi ed lithium batteries, as the heat generated by these

batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunction.

For Your Safety

Battery capacity varies with make

and storage conditions. Some com-

mercially-available batteries may

have less capacity than the batteries

provided with the camera.

Cautions: Handling Batteries

• Do not use batteries that are leaking,

deformed, or discolored. Warning: If

the batteries leak, clean the battery

compartment thoroughly before in-

serting new batteries. If  uid from

the battery comes into contact with

skin or clothing,  ush the a ected

area with water. If  uid enters your eyes,

immediately  ush the a ected area with

water and seek medical attention. Do not

rub your eyes. Failure to observe this pre-

caution could result in loss of eyesight.

• Do not transport or store with

metal objects such as necklaces or

hairpins.

• Do not disassemble or modify the

batteries or battery casing.

• Do not expose to strong physical

shocks.

• Do not expose to water,  ame, or

heat, or store in warm or humid

conditions.

• Keep out of reach of infants and

small children.

• Insert in the correct orientation.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,

batteries with di erent charge lev-

els, or batteries of di erent types.

• If the camera will not be used for

an extended period, remove the

batteries. Note that the camera

clock will be reset (pg. 14).

• The batteries may be warm to the

touch immediately after use. Turn

the camera o and allow the bat-

teries to cool before handling.

• Battery capacity tends to decrease

at low temperatures. Keep spare

batteries in a pocket or other warm

place and exchange as necessary.

Cold batteries may recover some

of their charge when warmed.

• Fingerprints and other foreign

matter on the battery terminals

can reduce battery performance.

Thoroughly clean the terminals

with a soft, dry cloth before insert-

ing the batteries in the camera.

Ni-MH Batteries

The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may

be temporarily reduced when new,

after long periods of disuse, or if they

are repeatedly recharged before be-

ing fully discharged. This is normal

and does not indicate a malfunction.

Capacity can be increased by repeat-

edly discharging the batteries using

the P DISCHARGE option in the

camera setup menu (pg. 94) and re-

charging them using a battery char-

ger (sold separately). Do not use this

option with alkaline batteries.

The camera draws a small amount of

current even when o . Ni-MH batter-

ies that have been left in the camera

for an extended period may be drawn

down to the point that they no longer

hold a charge. Battery performance

may also drop if the batteries are run

down in a device such as a  ashlight.

Use the P DISCHARGE option in the

camera setup menu to discharge Ni-

MH batteries. Batteries that no lon-

ger hold a charge even after repeat-

edly being discharged and recharged

have reached the end of their service

life and must be replaced.

Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in

a battery charger (sold separately).

Batteries may become warm to the

touch after charging. Refer to the in-

structions provided with the charger

for more information. Use the char-

ger with compatible batteries only.

Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their

charge when not in use.

Disposal

Dispose of used batteries in accord

with local regulations.

AC Adapters (Available Separately)

Use only FUJIFILM AC adapters desig-

nated for use with this camera. Other

adapters could damage the camera.

• The AC adapter is for indoor use only.

• Be sure the DC plug is securely

connected to the camera.

• Turn the camera o before discon-

necting the adapter. Disconnect the

adapter by the plug, not the cable.

• Do not use with other devices.

• Do not disassemble.

• Do not expose to high heat and

humidity.

• Do not subject to strong physical

shocks.

• The AC adapter may hum or be-

come hot to the touch during use.

This is normal.

• If the AC adapter causes radio in-

terference, reorient or relocate the

receiving antenna.

Using the Camera

To ensure that images are recorded

correctly, do not subject the camera

to impact or physical shocks while

images are being recorded.

Electrical Interference

This camera may interfere with hospital

or aviation equipment. Consult with

hospital or airline sta before using the

camera in a hospital or on an aircraft.

Liquid Crystal

In the event that the monitor or elec-

tronic view nder is damaged, care

should be taken to avoid contact

with liquid crystal. Take the urgent

action indicated should any of the

following situations arise:

• If liquid crystal comes in contact with

your skin, clean the area with a cloth

and then wash thoroughly with

soap and running water.

• If liquid crystal enters your eyes,  ush

the a ected eye with clean water

for at least 15 minutes and then

seek medical assistance.

• If liquid crystal is swallowed, rinse

your mouth thoroughly with water.

Drink large quantities of water and

induce vomiting, then seek medi-

cal assistance.

Take Test Shots

Before taking photographs on impor-

tant occasions (such as at weddings

or before taking the camera on a trip),

take a test shot and view the result to

ensure that the camera is function-

ing normally. FUJIFILM Corporation

can not accept liability for damages

or lost pro ts incurred as a result of

product malfunction.

tographs and combine them to form a

panorama (pg. 34).

B (AUTO): A simple “point-and-shoot”

mode recommended for  rst-time users

of digital cameras (pg. 15).

SP (SCENE POSITION): Choose a scene suit-

ed to the subject or shooting conditions

and let the camera do the rest (pg. 32).

and-shoot” mode in which the camera

automatically adjusts settings to suit the

scene (pg. 32).

First Steps

The Strap and Lens Cap

Attaching the Strap

Attach the strap to the two strap eyelets as shown

below.

3 Caution

To avoid dropping the camera, be sure the strap is cor-

rectly secured.

The Lens Cap

Attach the lens cap as shown.

To avoid losing the lens cap, pass the supplied

string through the eyelet (q) and secure the lens

cap to the strap (w).

Inserting the Batteries

The camera takes four AA alkaline, lithium, or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. A set of four alkaline bat-

teries is supplied with the camera. Insert the batteries in the camera as described below.

Open the battery-chamber cover.

Slide the battery-cham-

ber latch in the direction

shown and open the bat-

tery-chamber cover.

1 Note

Be sure the camera is o before opening the bat-

tery-chamber cover.

3 Cautions

• Do not open the battery-chamber cover when

the camera is on. Failure to observe this pre-

caution could result in damage to image  les or

memory cards.

• Do not use excessive force when handling the

battery-chamber cover.

Insert the batteries.

Insert the batteries in the

orientation shown by the

“+“ and “–“ marks inside

the battery chamber.

3 Cautions

• Insert the batteries in the correct orientation.

• Never use batteries with peel-

ing or damaged casing or mix

old and new batteries, batter-

ies with di erent charge levels,

or batteries of di erent types.

Failure to observe these

precautions could result

in the batteries leaking or

overheating.

• Never use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.

• The capacity of alkaline batteries varies with the

manufacturer and drops at temperatures below

10 °C/32 °F; Ni-MH batteries are recommended.

• Fingerprints and other soil on the battery termi-

nals can shorten battery life.

Battery casing

First Steps

Inserting the Batteries

Close the battery-chamber cover.

Close the battery-cham-

ber cover and slide it in

until the latch clicks into

place.

3 Caution

Do not use force. If the battery-chamber cover

does not close, check that the batteries are in the

correct orientation and try again.

2 Tip: Using an AC Adapter

The camera can be powered by an optional AC

adapter and DC coupler (sold separately).

Choosing the Battery Type

After replacing the batteries

with batteries of a di erent

type, select the battery type

using the T BATTERY TYPE

option in the setup menu (pg.

88) to ensure that the battery level is displayed correct-

ly and the camera does not turn o unexpectedly.

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, a appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording

and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become cor-

rupted, 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 82). 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 approved for use in the camera. A complete list of ap-

proved memory cards is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/index.html. Op-

eration 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 posi-

tion.

Write-protect

switch

First Steps

Inserting a Memory Card

■

Inserting a Memory Card

Open the battery-chamber cover.

1 Note

Be sure the camera is o

before opening the battery-

chamber cover.

Insert the memory card.

Holding the memory card in the orientation

shown below, slide it all the way in.

Be sure card is in correct orienta-

tion; do not insert at an angle or

use force.

Close the battery-chamber cover.

Removing Memory Cards

After con rming that the camera is o , 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  nger immediately after pushing the card in.

• Memory cards may be warm to the touch after be-

ing removed from the camera. This is normal and

does not indicate a malfunction.

Inserting a Memory Card

3 Cautions

• Do not turn the camera o 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  rst 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 92.

• 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 a x 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  les. Always

use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming  les,

copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

3 Cautions

• Use only memory cards that have been formatted

in the camera and contain pictures taken with the

camera. If a memory card containing a large num-

ber of images is inserted, there may be a delay before

FinePixViewer starts and FinePixViewer may be un-

able to import or save images. Use a memory card

reader to transfer pictures.

• Make sure the indicator lamp is out before turning the

camera o or disconnecting the USB cable. Failure to

observe this precaution could result in loss of data or

damage to internal memory or the memory card.

• Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing

memory cards.

• Use FinePixViewer to copy voice memos.

• In some cases, it may not be possible to access pic-

tures saved to a network server using FinePixViewer

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.

Disconnecting the Camera

After con rming that the indicator lamp is out, follow

the on-screen instructions to turn the camera o and

disconnect the USB cable.

Updating FinePixViewer

The latest version of FinePixViewer can be download-

ed from http://www.fujifilm.com/.

Uninstalling FinePixViewer

Only uninstall FinePixViewer before reinstalling the

software or when it is no longer required. After quit-

ting FinePixViewer 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 “Pro-

grams and Features” (Windows Vista) or “Add or Remove

Programs” (other versions of Windows) to uninstall

FinePixViewer, FinePix Resource, and FinePix Studio.

Technical Notes

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following precautions.

Storage and Use

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

• subject to strong vibration

• exposed to strong magnetic  elds, 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

■

Water and Sand

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.

■

Condensation

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

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  uid

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.

Traveling

Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage.

Checked baggage may su er violent shocks that

could damage the camera.

Appendix

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

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 dur-

ing printing.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed  le 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  le. Motion JPEG

 les can be played in Windows Media Player (requires DirectX 8.0 or later) or QuickTime 3.0 or later.

Smear: A phenomenon speci c to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources, such

as the sun or re ected sunlight, appear in the frame.

WAV (Waveform Audio Format): A standard Windows audio  le format. WAV  les have the extension “*.WAV” and

may be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV  les 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.”

Internal Memory/Memory Card Capacity

The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at di erent image quali-

ties. All  gures are approximate;  le size varies with the scene recorded, producing wide variations in

the number of  les that can be stored. The number of exposures or length remaining may not diminish

at an even rate.
