LOADING THE BATTERIES

Compatible batteries

●

Do not apply excessive force to the battery cover.

●

Take care not to drop the batteries when you open or

close the battery cover.

●

The settings are retained for approximately 60 minutes after

the batteries are removed. To keep the current settings,

ensure that the new batteries are fitted within 60 minutes.

●

You should carry a spare set of batteries (sold

separately) when taking pictures.

Use AA-size alkaline batteries (4 pcs.) or AA-size

nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries (4 pcs.).

1Slide the battery cover out and lift it open.

2Insert the batteries correctly as indicated by the

polarity icons.

3Close the battery cover.

◆Notes on Handling Batteries ◆

hDo not use different types of batteries or old

and new batteries together.

hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries vary

between brands and the life of the batteries

may be shorter than the alkaline batteries

provided with the camera. Note also that due to

the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for

which they can be used is shorter in cold

locations (at temperatures of +10°C or below),

so the use of Ni-MH batteries is recommended.

hSoiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of

batteries can greatly reduce the time for

which the batteries provide power.

hYou will need the optional battery charger

(➡P.75) to recharge Ni-MH batteries.

hSee P.78 for notes on using batteries.

PREFACE

To prevent the lens cap from appearing in the

shot when you take pictures, attach the lens cap

to the shoulder strap.

Attach the Lens Cap

●

Failure to attach the shoulder strap correctly can

result in the camera being dropped.

Attach the shoulder strap to the strap mounts on

the camera. Once you have attached both ends

of the strap, check carefully to ensure that the

strap is firmly secured.

✽You cannot use lithium, manganese or nickel-

cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.

REMOVING THE SmartMedia™

SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

0102

3 44

AC-5VH

If the date was cleared and you selected “H”,

the camera switches to photography or playback

mode without returning to the “SET–UP” menu.

Be careful to ensure that the lens, flash,

microphone and flash control sensor are not

obscured by your hands or the shoulder strap.

Put your arm through the shoulder strap so that

the strap is looped around your shoulder. Hold

the camera grip with your right hand and use

your left hand to support the camera (lens)

securely.

●

The camera may not be able to take successful

pictures if your fingers or the strap are in the way.

●

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the

lens as described on P.77.

●

The image will be blurred if the camera moves when

taking the picture (camera shake). When shooting in

low-light conditions, use the flash (➡P.38) or a tripod

to prevent blurred images due to camera shake.

●

You can specify individually whether the viewfinder

(EVF) or the LCD monitor is used in the Still Image,

Movie and Playback modes.

●

Take care not to press on the lens with your fingers

when the lens extends or when you are taking

pictures as this could cause a camera fault.

●

For subjects closer than 80 cm (2.6 ft.), use Macro

photography (➡P.41).

●

To take the picture, press the shutter button

down fully without lifting your finger off it. The

camera beeps and takes the picture, and the

data is then recorded.

●

When you press the shutter button, there is a very

short delay before the picture is actually taken.

●

Since the amount of image data recorded is not fixed

and varies depending on the subject (level of image

detail, etc.), the number of available shots may not

decrease after the image is recorded, or may

decrease by 2.

●

See P.83 – 85 for information on the warning displays.

Beep

Press the shutter button down halfway. The

camera is focused when the AF frame on the

screen shrinks and the green indicator lamp

stops blinking and stays lit.

Frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire

AF (Auto Focus) frame.

●

If you press the shutter button down fully in one

motion, the shot is taken without the AF frame

changing.

●

The indicator lamp flashes orange while the flash is

charging. The screen may go dark for a moment.

This is normal and does not indicate a fault.

●

The flash charging time may increase when the

battery charge gets ting lower.

●

In some conditions it may be difficult to see your

subject clearly on the screen (Such as in sunny

weather outdoors.). In such situations, use the

electronic viewfinder to take the shot.

●

If the subject is not in the AF frame, use AE/AF lock

to take the picture (➡P.26).

●

When you press the shutter button down halfway,

the video image on the screen freezes briefly.

However, this is not the image that is recorded.

●

If the shot is too dark to focus, try standing about 2

m (6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.

The indicator lamp turns orange during image

recording and no further shots can be taken. Do

not switch the camera off or open the slot cover

during image recording as this could corrupt the

image files.

To zoom in on the subject, press “[” (TELE).

To zoom out, press “]” (WIDE). A “Zoom bar”

appears on the screen when you zoom in or out.

●Optical zoom focal distance (35mm camera

STILL IMAGE MODE

:Red-Eye Reduction

Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes

appear natural when photographing people in

low-light conditions. The flash fires automatically

as required by the photography conditions.

The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture

is taken and then fires again to take the actual

picture.

yForced Flash

Use this mode to photograph backlit scenes,

such as a subject against a window or in the

shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct colors

when you are shooting under lighting such as

fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the flash fires in

bright as well as dark conditions.

◆Red-Eye Effect ◆

When you use the flash to photograph 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 effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.

Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective :

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

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

■ Places to Avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of

locations:

hIn the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.

hIn direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.

hExtremely cold places.

hPlaces subject to strong vibration.

hPlaces affected by smoke or steam.

hPlaces subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near

motors, transformers or magnets).

hIn contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to

rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

■ Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand

The FinePix2800 ZOOM is particularly adversely affected

by water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to

water, ensure that the camera is not exposed to water or

sand. Take care also not to place the camera on a wet

surface. Water or sand inside the camera can cause faults

that may be irreparable.

■ Notes on Condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a

warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form on

the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs,

switch the camera off and wait an hour before using the

camera. Condensation may also form on the SmartMedia

card. In this event, remove the SmartMedia and wait a

short time before using it again.

■ When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period, of

time remove the batteries and the SmartMedia card before

storing the camera.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

hUse a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces, and then

wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soiling remains,

apply a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of

FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.

hDo not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily

damaged.

hClean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth. Do

not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine or

insecticide, as these may react with camera body and

cause deformation or remove the coating.

■ Using the Camera Overseas

When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the

check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports may

subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be

damaged internally even when no external damage is

visible.

eBe sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.92), to ensure that you use

your camera correctly.

Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals can

markedly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully

wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft dry cloth before

loading the batteries.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery

compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

f any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or

clothing, flush the area thoroughly 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.

■Disposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your

local waste disposal regulations.

■Notes on Small Rechargeable Batteries (Ni-MH

batteries)

hAlways use the special battery charger to charge AA-size

Ni-MH batteries. Charge the batteries as described in the

instructions provided with the battery charger.

hDo not use the battery charger to charge batteries other

than those specified for use with the charger.

hNote that the batteries may feel warm immediately after

being charged.

hNi-MH batteries are not charged at shipment. Be sure to

charge the batteries before using them.

hThe camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute

amount of current even when the camera is switched off.

Take particular care not to leave Ni-MH batteries in the

camera for a long period of time as they can become

excessively discharged and may no longer be usable

even when charged.

hNi-MH batteries self-discharge even when not used.

Always charge Ni-MH batteries before using them. If the

time for which a battery provides power shortens

markedly when it has been correctly charged, this

indicates that the battery has reached the end of its

effective life and should be replaced.

hSoiling (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH

batteries can greatly reduce the number of available

shots. When this occurs, clean the terminals carefully

with a soft dry cloth. Then use up the remaining charge in

the batteries and recharge them.

hNewly purchased batteries or batteries that have been

left unused for an extended period may not be fully

charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display of

the battery low warning or a low number of available

shots.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries and

does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and using

the batteries 3 or 4 times will restore them to a normal

condition.

hIf you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH battery before it is fully

discharged, it will suffer from the "memory effect"*,

causing the battery low warning to appear while there is

still ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore the

batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge

in the batteries before recharging them.

✽Memory effect: A phenomenon affecting the battery

characteristics such that the apparent

battery capacity decreases.

hAA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be

used with this camera.

Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium batteries in your

FinePix2800 ZOOM because the heat generated by the

batteries could damage the camera or cause

malfunctions.

hThe operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between

brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be

shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the

camera.

hDo not use the batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

hDo not store the batteries in very warm or moist locations.

hKeep the batteries out of reach of infant and young

children.

When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that the

battery polarity (

and

) is as indicated on the camera.

hDo not use new batteries together with used batteries. In

the case of rechargeable batteries, do not use charged

and discharged batteries together. Do not use batteries

of different types or brands together.

hIf you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of

time, remove the batteries from the camera. (Note that if

the camera is left with the batteries removed, the time

and date settings are cleared.)

hThe batteries may feel warm immediately after being

used. Before removing the batteries, switch the camera

off and wait until the batteries cool down.

When replacing the batteries, always fit 4 new batteries.

Here, 'new batteries' refers to either recently purchased

unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal hydride)

batteries that have recently been fully recharged together.

In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or below),

battery performance deteriorates and the time for which they

can be used shortens markedly. This is particularly true of

alkaline batteries. In cold conditions, put the batteries in your

pocket or a similar place to warm them before loading them

into the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the

batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact with the

warmer.

Applicable Batteries

Notes on the Power Supply

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,

become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the

precautions given below.

hDo not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

hDo not carry or store the batteries with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into

contact with the metal positive =and negative -poles

of the battery.

hDo not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and

take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

hDo not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

hDo not attempt to peel off or cut the battery casing.

hDo not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

Explanation of Terms

DPOF: Digital Print Order Format

DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows

you to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how many prints are made of

each image.

EV:

A number that denotes exposure. 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.

JPEG:

Joint Photographics Experts Group

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the

compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.

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.

PC Card:

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.

PC Card Standard:

A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.

PCMCIA:

Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).

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. A

function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.

Troubleshooting eIf you think the camera is faulty, check the following once more
