power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact your electrician to replace your obso-

lete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose

of the grounding type plug.

Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets and

extension cords as this can result in a risk of

ﬁ re or electric shock.

Ventilation: Slots and openings in the cabinet

are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable

operation of the video product and to pro-

tect it from overheating, and these openings

must not be blocked or covered. The open-

ings should never be blocked by placing the

video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other

similar surface.

This video product should not be placed in a

built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack

QUnplug the charger when it is not in use.

14 First Steps

Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card

Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, optional SD,

SDHC, and SDXC memory cards (sold separately) can be used to store addi-

tional pictures. After charging the battery, insert the battery and memory

card as described below.

1

Open the battery-chamber cover.

RBe sure the camera is o before

opening the battery-chamber cover.

QDo not open the battery-chamber

ure to observe this precaution could

result in damage to image  les or

memory cards.

QDo not use excessive force when handling the battery-chamber cover.

2 Insert the battery.

Insert the battery with the terminal  rst

and in the orientation shown by the label

inside the battery chamber, keeping the

battery latch pressed to one side. Con-

 rm that the battery is fully inserted.

QInsert the battery in the correct orienta-

17First Steps

Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card

■ Compatible Memory Cards

FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards have been ap-

proved for use in the camera. A complete list of approved memory cards

is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/compatibility/.

Operation is not guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not be used

with xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.

Q

Memory Cards

• 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 SD/SDHC/SDXC 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 “K FORMAT” (P 97).

• 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.

• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions

of an SD/SDHC/SDXC 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 SD/SDHC/SDXC memory

card. Use a G card or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.

18 First Steps

Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card

• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is re-

paired. 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.

Q

Batteries

• Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth. Failure to observe this

precaution could prevent the battery from charging.

• Do not a x stickers or other objects to the battery. Failure to observe this precaution

could make it impossible to remove the battery from the camera.

• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.

• Read the cautions in “The Battery and Power Supply” (P vi).

• Use only battery chargers designated for use with the battery. Failure to observe this

precaution could result in product malfunction.

• Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt to split or peel the outer casing.

• The battery gradually loses its charge when not in use. Charge the battery one or

two days before use.

QPanoramas are created from multiple frames. The camera may in some cases record

an greater or lesser angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames together

perfectly. The last part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends be-

fore the panorama is complete.

QShooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Pan-

ning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.

QThe desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to

the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a  eld of grass, subjects that are

in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked

changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.

For Best Results

For best results, move the camera in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the

camera horizontal and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the

guides. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a di erent speed.

103Technical Notes

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of the product, observe the following pre-

cautions.

Storage and Use

If the camera will not be used for an

extended period, 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 temperatures, 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 anten-

na, power line, radar emitter, motor,

transformer, or magnet

• in contact with volatile chemicals

such as pesticides

• 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 con-

densation inside the camera. If this

occurs, turn the camera o and wait

an hour before turning it on again. If

condensation forms on the memory

card, remove the card and wait for the

condensation to dissipate.

104 Technical Notes

Caring for the Camera

Cleaning

Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and LCD 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 paper to which a small amount of lens-

cleaning  uid has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid scratching the

lens or LCD 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.

Notices

• Speci cations subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for

damages resulting from errors in this manual.

• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technol-

ogy, small bright points and anomalous colors may appear, particularly in the vicinity

of text. This is normal for this type of LCD monitor and does not indicate a malfunc-

tion; images recorded with the camera are una ected.

• Digital cameras may malfunction when exposed to strong radio interference (e.g.,

electric  elds, static electricity, or line noise).

• Due to the type of lens used, some distortion may occur at the periphery of images.

This is normal.
