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, overheating, fire, or explosion.

Compatible Batteries

The camera takes AA alkaline, rechargeable Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride), or UL-certified lithium batteries. Do not use manganese, nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), or non-UL certified lithium batteries, as the heat generated by these batteries could damage the camera or cause malfunction.

Battery capacity varies with make and storage conditions. Some commercially-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 inserting new batteries. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothing, flush the affected area with water. If fluid enters your eyes,

immediately flush the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Do not rub your eyes. Failure to observe this precaution 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, flar 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 different charge levels, or batteries of different types.
  • If the camera will not be used for an extended period, re 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 off and allow the batteries 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 inserting 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 being fully discharged. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Capacity can be increased by repeatedly discharging the batteries using the DISCHARGE option in the camera setup menu (pg. 100) and recharging them using a battery charger (sold separately). Do not use this option with alkaline batteries.

The camera draws a small amount of current even when off. Ni-MH batteries 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 move, the

down in a device such as a flashlight. Use the DISCHARGE option in the camera setup menu to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that no longer hold a charge even after repeatedly 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 instructions provided with the charger for more information. Use the charger 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 Power Adapters (Available Separately) Use only FUJIFILM AC power adapters designated for use with this camera. Other adapters could damage the camera.

• The adapter is for indoor use only.
- Be sure the DC plug is connected to the camera.
- Turn the camera off before disconnecting 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 adapter may hum or become hot to the touch during use. This is normal.
- If the adapter causes radio interference, 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 staff before using the camera in a hospital or on an aircraft.

Liquid Crystal

In the event that the monitor or electronic viewfinder 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, flush the affected 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 medical assistance.

Take Test Shots

Before taking photographs on important 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 functioning normally. FUJIFILM Corporation can not accept liability for damages or lost profits incurred as a result of product malfunction.

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, in 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 87). 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 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 xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard (MMC) devices.

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.

Removing Memory Cards

After confi rming that the camera is off , press the card in and then release it slowly. The card can now be removed by hand.

FUJIFILM FinePix S2500HD - Removing Memory Cards - 1

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.

Cautions

  • 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.
  • Format memory cards before first 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 98.
  • 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 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 affi x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
  • Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed (4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.
  • 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.

Notes

  • Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake.
  • Flash compensation may be required when using the flash (pg. 80).

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.

Intelligent Face Detection

Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 22) is recommended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face Detection, select 10 SEC or 2 SEC in the self-timer menu and then press the shutter button all the way down to start the timer.

FUJIFILM FinePix S2500HD - Intelligent Face Detection - 1

Note

The self-timer turns off automatically when the picture is taken, a different shooting mode is selected, playback mode is selected, or the camera is turned off.

PHOTOMETRY

Choose how the camera meters exposure when Intelligent Face Detection is off.

  • Ⓞ MULTI: Automatic scene recognition is used to adjust exposure for a wide range of shooting conditions.
  • [●] 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. 24) to meter off -center subjects.
  • [ ] 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.

WB WHITE BALANCE

For natural colors, choose a setting that matches the light source (for an explanation of "white balance," see the Glossary on page 115).

OptionDescription
AUTOWhite balance adjusted automatically.
Measure a value for white balance.
For subjects in direct sunlight.
For subjects in the shade.
Use under "daylight" fl fluorescent lights.
Use under "warm white" fl fluorescent lights.
Use under "cool white" fl fluorescent lights.
Use under incandescent lighting.

If AUTO does not produce the desired results (for example, when taking close-ups), select ☐ and measure a value for white balance or choose the option that matches the light source.

Notes

  • At settings other than ☐, auto white balance is used with the flash. Lower the flash (pg. 27) to take pictures at other settings.
    • Results vary with shooting conditions. Play pictures back after shooting to check colors in the monitor.

■: Custom White Balance

Choose ☐ to adjust white balance for unusual lighting conditions. The options at right will be displayed; frame a white object so that it fi lls the monitor and press the shutter button all the way down to measure white balance.

FUJIFILM FinePix S2500HD - ■: Custom White Balance - 1

text_image CUSTOM WB SHUTTER NEW WB OK NOT CHANGE CAMERK

If "COMPLETED!" is displayed, press MENU/OK to set white balance to the measured value. This value can be reselected by pressing MENU/OK when custom white balance options are displayed.

If "UNDER" is displayed, raise exposure compensation (pg. 33) and try again.

If "OVER" is displayed, lower exposure compensation and try again.

Tip

To give a deliberate color cast to your photographs, measure a value for custom white balance using a colored instead of a white object.

HIGH-SPEED SHOOTING

Selecting ON reduces focusing time, ensuring a quick shutter response.

Notes

  • Choosing ON increases the drain on the battery. Choose OFF to save battery power.
  • The fps EVF/LCD MODE option in the setup menu is automatically set to 60 fps when high-speed shooting is on (pg. 94).

FOCUSING

Choose how the camera focuses.

  • CONTINUOUS AF: 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). Intelligent Face Detection turns off automatically and AF AF MODE is fixed at CENTER. Choose for moving subjects.
    • SINGLE AF: Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Choose for stationary subjects.

AF AF MODE

This option controls how the camera selects the focus area when Intelligent Face Detection is off (pg. 21). Regardless of the option set camera will focus on the subject in the center of the monitor when macro mode is on (pg. 26).

- CENTER: The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame option can be used with focus lock.

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 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 fi elds, such as near a broadcasting antenna, 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

If this occurs, turn the camera off 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.

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 paper to which a small amount of lens-cleaning fluid 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.

Glossary

Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details visible 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 for storing information with pictures for optimal color reproduction during printing.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): An interface standard for the transmission of images and sound that adds audio input to the DVI interface used to connect computers to displays.

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 sound and JPEG images in a single file. Motion JPEG files can be played in Windows Media Player (requires DirectX 8.0 or later) or QuickTime 3.0 or later.

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.

WAV (Waveform Audio Format): A standard Windows audio file format. WAV files have the extension "*.WAV" and may be compressed or uncompressed. The camera uses uncompressed WAV. WAV files 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 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 exposures or length remaining may not diminish at an even rate.

Notices

  • Specifications subject to change without notice. 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.
