For Your Safety

Power Supply and Battery

* Confirm your battery type before read-

ing the following descriptions.

The following explains proper use of

batteries and how to prolong their

life. Incorrect use of batteries can

cause shorter battery life, as well as

leakage, excessive heat, fire or explo-

sion.

1 Camera uses the Rechargeable

Lithium-ion Battery

* When shipped, the battery is not

fully charged. Always charge the

battery before using it.

* When carrying the battery, install it

in a digital camera or keep it in the

soft case.

■ Battery Features

• 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.

• 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.

If you are using a heating pad, take

care not to place the battery di-

rectly against the pad. The camera

may not operate if you use a de-

pleted battery in cold conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

• You can charge the battery using

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

and +95°F). If you charge the

battery at a temperature outside

this range, charging takes longer

because the performance of the

battery is impaired.

- You cannot charge the battery

at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or

below.

• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Bat-

tery does not need to be fully dis-

charged or exhausted flat before

being charged.

• 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.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the bat-

tery can be used at least 300 times.

If the time for which the battery

provides power shortens markedly,

this indicates that the battery has

reached the end of its effective life

and should be replaced.

■ Notes on storage

• If a battery is stored for long periods

while charged, the performance of

the battery can be impaired. If the

battery will not be used for some

time, run the battery out before

storing it.

• If you do not intend to use the

camera for a long period of time,

remove the battery from the cam-

era.

• Store the battery in a cool place.

- The battery should be stored in

a dry location with an ambient

temperature between +15°C and

+25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

- Do not leave the battery in hot or

extremely cold places.

■ 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.

• Dispose of used battery promptly.

• Do not drop the battery or other-

wise subject it to strong impacts.

• Do not expose the battery to wa-

ter.

• Always keep the battery terminals

clean.

• Do not store batteries in hot plac-

es. Also, if you use the battery for

a long period, the camera body

and the battery itself will become

warm. This is normal. Use the AC

power adapter if you are taking

pictures or viewing images for a

long period of time.

2 Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH

(nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable

batteries

* For details on the batteries that

you can use, refer to the Owner’s

Manual of your camera.

■ Cautions for Using Battery

• Do not heat the batteries or throw

them into a fire.

• 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.

vii

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.

• Do not use different types or

brands of batteries at the same

time.

• 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.

If any liquid at all leaks from

the batteries, wipe the battery

compartment thoroughly and

then load new batteries.

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.

■ 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.

See Owner’s Manual for the proce-

dure for “Discharging rechargeable

batteries”.

CAUTION

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.

• Do not use the battery charger to

charge other batteries.

• Note that the batteries feel warm

after being charged.

• 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.

• 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.

■ Disposing of Batteries

• When disposing of batteries, do

so in accordance with your local

waste disposal regulations.

3 Notes on both models ( 1, 2)

■ 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.

• 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.

viii

For Your Safety

• Do not take apart the AC power

adapter. Doing so could be dan-

gerous.

• Do not use the AC power adapter

in a hot and humid place.

• Do not subject the AC power

adapter to strong shocks.

• The AC power adapter may emit a

humming. This is normal.

• If used near a radio, the AC power

adapter may cause static. If this

happens, move the camera away

from the radio.

Before Using the Camera

Do not aim the camera at extremely

bright light sources, such as the sun

in a cloudless sky. Failure to observe

this precaution could damage the

camera image sensor.

3 Cautions

• Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The

camera may in some cases be unable to stitch the

frames together perfectly.

• The desired results may not be achieved with mov-

ing subjects, subjects close to the camera, unvarying

subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects

that are in constant motion, such as waves and wa-

terfalls, or subjects that undergo marked changes in

brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject

is poorly lit.

For Best Results

For best results, be careful not to tilt the camera back-

ward or forward or to either side and try not to move

the camera while y and + are aligned to form a solid

circle.

Printing Panoramas

Depending on the page size and the size of the

panorama, panoramas may print with their edges

cropped out or with wide margins at the top and

bottom or at both sides.

Framing Panoramas Manually

Follow the steps below if the desired results are not

achieved with C AUTO selected for P MODE:

1 Select D MANUAL for P MODE in the shooting

menu.

2 Select a frame and take the first shot.

3 Press MENU/OK to display a guide showing an edge of

the picture you have just taken. Take the next shot,

framing it to overlap with the previous picture.

5 Press MENU/OK to save the picture.

Shooting Mode

In this mode, the camera sets exposure automati-

cally. If desired, you can choose different combi-

nations of shutter speed and aperture that will

produce the same exposure (program shift).

3 Caution

If the subject is outside the meter-

ing range of the camera, the shut-

ter speed and aperture displays

will show “---”. Press the shutter

button halfway to measure expo-

sure again.

Program Shift

Press the d button to choose the desired combina-

tion of shutter speed and aperture. Values that differ

from those automatically selected by the camera are

shown in yellow. The default values can be restored

by raising the flash or turning the camera off. Pro-

gram shift is not available when the flash is raised.

Intelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection allows the camera to automatically detect human faces and set focus and

exposure for a face anywhere in the frame for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. Choose for

group portraits (in horizontal or vertical orientations) to prevent the camera from focusing on the back-

ground.

Turn Intelligent Face Detection on.

Intelligent Face Detection is turned on or off

each time g (Intelligent Face Detection) is

pressed.

Frame the picture.

If a face is detected, it

will be indicated by a

Press the shutter button all the

way down to shoot.

3 Caution

If the subject moves as the shutter but-

ton is pressed, their face may not be in the area

indicated by the green border when the picture

is taken. If the number of faces is large, additional

time may be required for processing.

Green borderGreen border

Intelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection is

recommended when using

the self-timer for group- or

self-portraits (pg. 38).

When a picture taken with Intelligent Face Detection

is displayed, the camera can automatically select faces

for red-eye removal (pg. 91), playback zoom (pg. 47),

slide shows (pg. 87), image search (pg. 53), image disp.

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofo-

cus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects

listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using

autofocus, use focus lock (pg. 33) to focus on another

subject at the same distance and then recompose

the photograph.

• Very shiny subjects such

as mirrors or car bodies.

• Fast-moving subjects.

• Subjects photographed through a window or other

reflective object.

• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than

reflect light, such as hair or fur.

• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.

• Subjects that show little contrast with the back-

ground (for example, subjects in clothing that is the

same color as the background).

• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-

contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for

example, a subject photographed against a back-

drop of highly contrasting elements).

The AF-Assist Illuminator

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator will

light to assist the focus operation when the shutter

button is pressed halfway.

1 Notes

• Avoid shining the AF-assist illuminator directly into

your subject’s eyes.

• The camera may be unable to focus using the AF-

assist illuminator in some cases. If the camera is un-

able to focus in macro mode (pg. 35), try increasing

the distance to the subject.

F Macro and Super Macro Modes (Close-ups)

For close-ups, press the selector left (F) to choose from the macro options shown below.

Choose from F (macro mode),

G (super macro mode), or

OFF (macro mode off)

When macro mode is in effect, the camera focuses on subjects near the center of the frame. Use the

zoom control to compose pictures. In super macro mode, zoom can not be adjusted and the flash can

not be used.

1 Notes

• Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake.

• Flash compensation may be required when using the flash (pg. 85).

• Using the flash at close range may cast a lens shadow. Zoom a little or have more distance from the subject.

N Using 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.

Turning the Flash Off

Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting

under dim light. At slow shutter speeds, k will be displayed to warn that pictures

may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

Choose a flash mode.

Press the selector right (N). The flash mode changes each time the selector

is pressed.

The peripheral part of an image may be dark when using the flash.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection is active (pg. 31), and ON is selected for B RED EYE REMOVAL in

the setup menu (pg. 91), red-eye removal is available in K, L, and M.

Red-eye removal minimizes “red-eye” caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject’s

retinas as shown in the illustration at right.

J Using the Self-Timer

The camera offers a ten-second timer that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs,

and a two-second timer that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter

button is pressed. The self-timer is available in all shooting modes.

Set the timer.

ored instead of a white object.

SHARPNESS

• HARD: Use for sharp outlines when photograph-

ing such subjects as buildings and text.

• STANDARD: Standard sharpness. Best choice in

most situations.

• SOFT: Use for soft outlines in portraits and similar

subjects.

Menus

Using the Menus: Shooting Mode

PHOTOMETRY

Choose how the camera meters exposure when

Intelligent Face Detection is off.

• o MULTI: Automatic scene recognition is used

to adjust exposure for a wide range of shooting

conditions.

• p SPOT: The camera meters lighting conditions

at the center of the frame. Recommended when

the background is much brighter or darker than

the main subject. Can be used with focus lock

(pg. 33) to meter off-center subjects.

• q AVERAGE: Exposure is set to the average for

the entire frame. Provides consistent exposure

across multiple shots with the same lighting,

and is particularly effective for landscapes and

portraits of subjects dressed in black or white.

AF MODE

This option controls how the camera selects the

focus area when Intelligent Face Detection is off

(pg. 31). Regardless of the option selected, the

camera will focus on the subject in the center of

the monitor when macro mode is on (pg. 35).

• r CENTER: The camera focuses on the subject in

the center of the frame. This option can be used

with focus lock (pg. 33).

• s MULTI: When the shutter button is pressed

halfway, the camera detects high-contrast sub-

jects near the center of the frame and selects

the focus area automatically (if the focus frame is

not displayed, select r CENTER and use focus

lock; pg. 33).

in the center of the frame; to meter an off-center

subject, use AF/AE lock (pg. 33).

• u CONTINUOUS: The camera continually adjusts

focus to reflect changes in the distance to the

subject even when the shutter button is not

pressed (note that this increases the drain on the

battery).

• x TRACKING: Position the

subject in the center focus

area and press the selector

istered, AUTO REGISTRATION does not function.

• If the camera detects two or more faces registered

by S FACE RECOGNITION, a green border and

orange border(s) will be displayed on the faces

when to shoot. A registered name will appear only

on the face with the green border. White borders

will be displayed on faces which have not been

registered. When no name has been registered,

“---” is displayed.

• S FACE RECOGNITION may not function in the

following:

- the subject does not face front.

- the face is not positioned within a frame.

- the feature of the face varies (because of age or
