Compatible batteries

• AA-size alkaline batteries (2), Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately), or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) (2).
  Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

How to use the batteries

• Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious problems such as batteries fluid leakage or overheating:

• Batteries with split or peeling outer casings

• Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries together

• Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.

• Soil, such as fingerprints on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries can be used.

• The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0^ to +10^ / + 32^ to +50^) . The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason.
• Cradle can be used in combination with camera and to charge rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately). Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.

See P.74, 75 for other notes on using batteries.
- When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.75 more information.
- When the surfaces of the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 terminals have become worn through repeated use or the battery has been taken out of the camera and left for a long period, the battery may stop supplying power or may become usable only for shorter periods.

To restore normal battery operation, open and close the battery cover several times to dislodge any soiling on the terminals.

Check that the camera is turned off (viewfinder lamp is off) before opening the battery cover.

Opening the battery cover while the camera is on, the camera is turned off.
Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on. This could damage the xD-Picture Card or ruin the image files on the xD-Picture Card.

Load the batteries correctly as indicated by the polarity icons.

Align the gold marking on the xD-Picture Card slot with the gold contact area on the xD-Picture Card and push the card firmly all the way into the slot.

If the xD-Picture Card is oriented incorrectly, it will not go all the way into the slot. Do not apply excessive force when inserting an xD-Picture Card.

4

Close the battery cover.

How to replace the xD-Picture Card

Pull out the xD-Picture Card, taking care that the batteries do not fall out.

If the xD-Picture Card is difficult to remove, take out the batteries first.

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check the battery charge.

① No icon

Lit red

Blinking red

① There is ample battery charge.
② There is insufficient charge left in the batteries. The batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteries ready.
③ The batteries are depleted. The display will shortly go blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or recharge the batteries.

"□" appears as a small icon on the right-hand side of the LCD monitor. "□" appears as a large icon on the LCD monitor.

The information above is a guide for photography mode. Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries used, the transition from "□" to "□" may occur more quickly.
Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.

• Battery level warning

1) The camera's estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode. Consequently, even if "□" or "□" is not displayed in Playback mode, one of them may appear when you change to Photography mode.
2) Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly to happen when batteries that have run out of charge once are re-used.

In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.

① Open the lens cover.
② To take pictures using the viewfinder, press the "DISP/BACK" button to turn the LCD monitor off (turning the LCD monitor off conserves battery power).

• Focal range: Approx. 60 cm (2.0 ft.) to infinity

Use Macro mode for subjects closer than 60~cm (2.0 ft.) (P.26).
The LCD monitor cannot be turned off in Macro mode.
IF【CARD ERROR】，【NO CARD】，【CARD FULL】or 【CARD NOT INITIALIZED】 appears, see P.78.

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the camera with both hands. Position your right thumb so that it is handy for using the zoom.

Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera shake, particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash mode is Suppressed flash.
There may be some unevenness in the brightness at the lower edge of the LCD monitor. This is normal and does not affect the image.

Hold the camera so that your fingers or the strap do not cover the lens or flash. If the lens or flash is obscured, the brightness (exposure) of your shot may be incorrect.

Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as described on P.74.
If the flash is used in very dusty conditions or when it is snowing, white dots may appear in the image due to flash reflecting off dust particles or snowflakes. Use Suppressed flash mode.

To zoom in on your subject, press Zoom switch (telephoto). To zoom out, press "▼" (wide-angle). A "zoom bar" appears on the LCD monitor.

Optical zoom focal length (35 mm camera equivalent)
Approx. 38 mm-114 mm Maximum zoom scale: 3 ×
Zooming stops briefly when the camera changes between optical zoom and digital zoom (P.21). Press the same Zoom switch again to change zoom modes.

5

Use the LCD monitor to frame the shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto Focus) frame.

When the subject is not in the AF frame, use AF/AE lock to take the picture (一 P,20)
The image on the LCD monitor before the picture is taken may differ in brightness, color, etc. from the image actually recorded. Play back the recorded image to check it (P.22).

6

Press the Shutter button down halfway. The camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your subject. The AF frame on the LCD monitor becomes smaller (the viewfinder lamp (green) stops blinking and remains lit).

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and "1AF" appears on the LCD monitor, the camera cannot focus.
Pressing the Shutter button down halfway freezes the image on the LCD monitor briefly. This is not the recorded image.
If "AF" appears on the LCD monitor (e.g. the shot is too dark for the camera to focus), stand about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.

7

To take the picture, press the Shutter button down fully without lifting your finger off. The camera beeps and takes the picture. The data is then recorded.

There is a slight delay between the Shutter button being pressed and the picture being taken. Playback the shot to check the image.
When pressing the Shutter button down fully in one motion, the camera takes the picture without the AF frame changing.
When the camera takes the picture, the viewfinder lamp lights orange (shooting disabled). The viewfinder lamp then turns green and the next picture can be taken.
The viewfinder lamp blinks orange while the flash is charging. If the LCD monitor is turned on, the screen goes dark. This is normal.
See P.78, 79 for information on the warning displays.

Subjects not suitable for autofocus

The FinePix A330/FinePix A340 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing on the following:

• Very shiny subjects such as a mirror or car body
• Subjects photographed through glass
• Subjects that do not reflect well, such as hair or fur
• Subjects with no substance, such as smoke or flames
  Dark subjects
• Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and the background (such as white walls or subjects dressed in the same color as

the background)

Fast moving subjects
- Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a background with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects, use AF/AE lock ( P.20) .

USING VIEWFINDER

To take pictures using the viewfinder, press the "DISP/BACK" button to turn the LCD monitor off (Turning the LCD monitor off conserves battery power).

The viewfinder cannot be used to take pictures in Macro mode.

Brace your elbows against your sides and hold the camera with both hands. Position of your right thumb so that it is handy for using the zoom.

Moving the camera while shooting gives a blurred picture (camera shake). Use a tripod to avoid camera shake, particularly for shots in the dark when the selected flash mode is Suppressed flash.

Position the AF frame in the center of the viewfinder over the subject to set the focus. If the subject is between 0.6m and 1.5m (2.0 ft. and 4.9 ft.) away, the area marked by "■" in the figure is photographed.

For more precise shot framing, use the LCD monitor to take the picture.

The number of available frames appears on the LCD monitor.

See P.29 for information on changing the quality setting.
The default quality " 品 " set at shipment is " 品 N" (FinePix A330)," 品 N" (FinePix A340).

Standard number of frames per xD-Picture Card

The table below shows the standard number of frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the bigger the difference between the actual number of frames and the number shown here. Also, the size of an image file varies depending on the subject. So the number of remaining shots may decrease by 2 or may remain the same. For this reason, the number displayed may not show the actual number of frames.

If pressing the Shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will be taken without the flash.

Red-eye effect

When using the flash to take a picture 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 minimize the likelihood of the effect.

Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:

• Get the subjects to look at the camera. - Get as close as possible to the subjects.

xD-Picture Card. In this event, remove the xdPicture Card and wait a short time.

When the Camera is Not Used or is stored Periods of Time

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries and the xd-Picture Card.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

• Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD monitor screen or viewfinder, 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.
• Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily damaged.
• Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth.
  Do not use volatile substances or cleaning products.
  These items can cause damage.

Using the Camera When Traveling

When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage can be subjected violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged inside or outside.

Power Supply and Batteries

Applicable Batteries

• In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or nickel-metal hydride batteries and the rechargeable battery NH10.
  Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix A330/FinePix A340 because the heat created by the batteries could damage the camera or cause is not to work.
• The life of alkaline batteries varies between brands. The life of batteries you purchase may be shorter than those provided with the camera.

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the precautions given below.

• 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 water, 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 leaking, deformed, discolored.
• 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 ( and ) is correct.

Do not use new with used batteries. Do not use charged and discharged 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 after being used. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera off and wait for the batteries cool down.
- Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or locations, warm the batteries by placing it inside your garments before use. A battery that is not working well due to cold will work again when the temperature is return to normal.
- Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images they will allow you to take. 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 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.

Using the AA-size Ni-MH Batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 Correctly

• As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (referred to hereafter as Ni-MH batteries) are superior to alkaline batteries in several ways, such as allowing more shots to be taken with the camera. However, care must be taken with the way Ni-MH batteries are used if their original performance is to be maintained.
• Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long periods can become "deactivated". Also, repeatedly 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 problem 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. By repeating this cycle several times, the temporary reduction in performance caused by "memory" or "deactivation" can be remedied and the batteries can be restored to their original performance levels.

Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.76 for the procedure for "Discharging rechargeable batteries".

Do not use the "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function when alkaline batteries are being used.

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to ensure that the charger is used correctly.
• 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 constructed, a small amount of current is used even when the camera is turned off. Note in particular that leaving AA-size NiMH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 in the camera for a long period will overdischarge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.
• Ni-MH batteries and the Rechargeable Battery NH10 will self-discharge even when not used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result.
• The rechargeable battery NH-10 can be charged by setting the camera in the PictureCradle CP-FXA10 (sold separately).
• Ni-MH batteries cannot be charged using a combination of the camera and the cradle.
• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if overdischarged (eg. by discharging the batteries in a flashlight). Use the "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function provided 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.

AC Power Adapter

Always use only the AC-3V AC Power Adapter (sold separately) or the AC-3VW AC Power Adapter (supplied with PictureCradle sold separately). The use of other AC power adapters may result in damage to your camera.

The AC-3V cannot be used to charge the NH-10 Rechargeable Battery.
- Use AC power adapter for indoor use only.
- Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.
- Turn off the FUJIFILM Digital camera before disconnecting the cord from the FUJIFILM Digital camera's DC input terminal. To disconnect, pull out the plug gently (Do not pull on the cord).
- Do not use this 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.
- Do not take apart the AC power adapter. Doing so could be dangerous.
- Do not use this device in a place with hot humid place.
- Do not subject AC power adapter to strong shocks.
- This device may emit a humming. But this is normal.
- If used near a radio, this device may cause static, if this happens the camera away from the radio.

Procedure for discharging rechargeable Ni-MH batteries

Only use the "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function with Ni-MH batteries (rechargeable batteries).

The "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function should not be used with alkaline batteries as it will completely drain the battery charge.

Use the "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function in the following situations:

• When the batteries can only be used for a short time after being charged normally
• When the batteries have not been used for a long period
• When you purchase new Ni-MH batteries

Do not use the "Discharging rechargeable batteries" function when the camera is set in the cradle or while using the AC power adapter. In these situations, the Ni-MH batteries will not be discharged due to the external power supply.

① Press the "MENU/OK" button.
② Press“ ”or " " to select" 出 OPTIONand then press“ ”or " " to select“SET-UP".
③ Press the "MENU/OK" button.

Remove the camera from the cradle when discharging batteries.
Do not use the procedure for discharging rechargeable batteries with alkaline batteries.

① Press “▲” or “▶” to move to option 3 and then press “▲” or “▼” to select “DISCHARGE”.
② Press “▶”.

① Press “<” or “>” to select “OK”.
② Press the "MENU/OK" button.

The screen changes and discharging begins.

When the battery level indicator blinks red and discharging ends, the camera turns off.

To cancel discharging, press the "DISP/BACK" button.

Image Memory Card

• This Image Memory Card is a new image recording media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory) to record digital image data. The recording process is electrically performed and enables erasure of existing image data as well as rerecording of new image data.
• When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card that has been formatted by a PC, be sure to format the card with your digital camera before using it.

Protecting Your Data

Images and movies may be lost or destroyed in the following situations. Please note that FUJIFILM assumes no responsibility for data that is lost or destroyed.
1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e., during record, erase, initialization, and playback operations).
2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by the user or third party.
- Save your important data to another media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

■ Handling xD-Picture Card

• When storing xD-Picture Cards, make sure that they are kept out of the reach of children. An xD-Picture Card could be swallowed cause suffocation. If a child swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical attention or call emergency number right away.
• When inserting the xD-Picture Card into the camera, hold the xD-Picture Card straight as you push it in.
• xD-Picture Card are precision electronic devices. Do not bend, drop or otherwise subject the xD-Picture Card to strong force or shocks.
• Do not use or store xD-Picture Card in hot humid places or in places where they are exposed to corrosive substances.
  Clean the xd-Picture Card with a soft dry piece of cloth when dirty.
• When carrying or storing an xD-Picture Card, keep it in the special protective case.
• The xD-Picture Card will work well for long time, but will sooner or later lose its ability to store and play back images or movies. If this happens replace it with a new xD-Picture Card.
• Never remove the xD-Picture Card or turn the camera off during data recording or erasing (xD-Picture Card formatting) as this could be damaged to the xD-Picture Card.
  The use of xd-Picture Cards is recommended with the FinePix A330/FinePix A340.

The recording quality cannot be guaranteed when an xD-Picture Card other than those manufactured by FUJIFILM are used.

The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after taking pictures. This is normal.
- Do not put labels on the xd-Picture Card. Peeling labels can cause the camera not to work properly.

Using xD-Picture Card with a PC

• When you take pictures using an xD-Picture Card that has been used on a PC, reformat the xD-Picture Card using your camera for best quality.
• When you format an xD-Picture Card, a directory (folder) is created. Image data is then recorded in this directory.
• Do not change or delete the directory (folder) or file names on the xD-Picture Card because this will make it impossible to use the xD-Picture Card in your camera.
  Always use the camera to erase image data on an xD-Picture Card.
• To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC and edit the copy.
• Do not copy files other than those that will be used by the camera.

Deactivated batteries:

Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated.

Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery's original level of performance cannot be achieved.

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 to be printed and how many prints are made of each image.

EV:

A number that denotes Exposure Value. 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.

Frame rate (fps):

The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps. For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps.

JPEG:

Joint Photographics Experts Group

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.

Memory effect:

If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its original level. This is referred to as the "memory effect".

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.

Exif Print

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for optimal printing.
