Charging the Battery

The battery is not charged at shipment. Charge the battery before use.

1 Place the battery in the charger.

Insert the battery into the supplied battery charger as shown, making sure that the battery is in the correct orientation. The battery charger comes in one of two types, depending on the country or region of sale: one with a built-in plug that plugs directly into the power outlet (A), and another that connects to the power outlet via a power cable (B).

Battery charger (type A) Rechargeable battery Arrow Terminals Battery charger (type B)

2 Plug the charger in.

Plug the charger into a power outlet. The charging indicator will light.

Type A

The Charging Indicator

The charging indicator shows battery charge status as follows:

Charging indicator	Battery status	Action
Off	Battery not inserted.	Insert the battery.
	Battery fully charged.	Remove the battery.
Glows	Battery charging.	—
Blinks	Battery fault.	Unplug the charger and remove the battery.

3 Charge the battery.

Cautions: Caring for the Battery

• Do not affix 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.
• Use only NP-45 batteries. 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.
• Read the supplied documentation for additional cautions concerning battery use.

Caution: Battery Life

A noticeable decrease in the length of time the battery will hold a charge indicates that it has reached the end of its service life and should be replaced.

Cautions: Using the Battery Charger

• Unplug the charger when it is not in use.
• Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean, dry cloth. Failure to observe this precaution could prevent the battery from charging.
• Charging times increase at low temperatures.

Inserting the Battery

After charging the battery, insert it in the camera as described below.

1 Open the battery-chamber cover.

Illustration of a digital camera with an arrow indicating rotation (no text or symbols present)

Note

Be sure the camera is off before opening the battery-chamber cover.

Cautions

• Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the camera is on. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to image files or memory cards.
• Do not use excessive force when handling the battery-chamber cover.

2 Insert the battery.

Check the label in the battery-chamber. Face the gold contacts downward and insert the battery into the battery-chamber, pressing the battery latch with the battery in the direction shown below. Confirm that the battery is securely latched.

Label Battery latch

Caution

Insert the battery in the correct orientation. Do NOT use force or attempt to insert the battery upside down or backwards. The camera will not function if the battery is inserted backwards or upside down.

Caution

Turn the camera off before removing the battery.

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, 📄N 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 67). 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 tested and 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 MultiMediaCard (MMC) or xD-Picture cards.

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.

LOOK S

■ Inserting a Memory Card

1 Open the battery-chamber cover.

Removing Memory Cards

Be sure the camera is off before opening the battery-chamber cover. Press the card in and then release it slowly. The card can now be removed by hand.

Illustration of a device being inserted into a slot, showing the handle and control panel (no text or symbols)

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

• 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 76.
• 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.
• Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. 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 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.
• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card.
• 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.

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 that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproduction during printing.

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 images and sound in a single file, with the images recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG files can be played in 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.

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 fields, 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

Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur when entering a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the camera. 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.

Travelling

Keep the camera in your carry-on baggage. Checked baggage may suffer violent shocks that could damage the camera.
