Power Supply and Battery

* Confirm your battery type before reading the following descriptions.

The following explains proper use of batteries and how to prolong their life. Incorrect use of batteries can cause shorter battery life, as well as leakage, excessive heat, fire or explosion.

1 Camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery

* When shipped, the battery is not fully charged. Always charge the battery before using it.
* When carrying the battery, install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.

Battery Features

• The battery gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use a battery that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.
  • To maximize the life of the battery, turn the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available frames will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged battery. You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the battery in your pocket or another warm place to heat it and then loading it into the camera just before you take a picture.

If you are using a heating pad, take care not to place the battery directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted battery in cold conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

• You can charge the battery using the battery charger (included).
• The battery can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0^ C and +40^ C ( +32^ F and +104^ F). Refer to the Owner's Manual for the time of charging battery.
• You should charge the battery at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the battery at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the battery is impaired.
• You cannot charge the battery at temperatures of 0^ C (+32°F) or below.
• The Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.
• The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged battery.

Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the battery can be used at least 300 times. If the time for which the battery provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the battery has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.

Notes on storage

• If a battery is stored for long periods while charged, the performance of the battery can be impaired. If the battery will not be used for some time, run the battery out before storing it.
• If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the battery from the camera.
• Store the battery in a cool place.

- The battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C (+59°F and +77°F).

- Do not leave the battery in hot or extremely cold places.

■ Handling the Battery Cautions for Your Safety:

• Do not carry or store battery with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
• Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.
• Do not attempt to take apart or change the battery.

• Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those specified.

• Dispose of used battery promptly.

• Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts.
• Do not expose the battery to water.
  • Always keep the battery terminals clean.
• Do not store batteries in hot places. Also, if you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal. Use the AC power adapter if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

2 Camera uses AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries

* For details on the batteries that you can use, refer to the Owner's Manual of your camera.

■ Cautions for Using Battery

• 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 to cool down.
• Since batteries do not work well in cold weather or locations, warm the batteries by placing them inside your garments before use. Batteries do not work well when cold. They will work again when the temperature returns to normal.
• Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals makes the batteries charge less reducing the number of images. 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.

■ Using the AA-size Ni-MH batteries correctly

- 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.

Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH batteries and are not in fact battery faults.

See Owner's Manual for the procedure for "Discharging rechargeable batteries".

CAUTION

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

• To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions supplied with the charger to make sure 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 Ni-MH batteries in the camera for a long period will over-discharge the batteries and may render them unusable even after recharging.
• Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not used, and the time for which they can be used may be shortened as a result.
• Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if over-discharged (e.g. 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.

■ Disposing of Batteries

- When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your local waste disposal regulations.

3 Notes on both models (1, 2)

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC Power Adapter with the camera. The use of an AC Power adapter other than FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter can be damaged to your digital camera.

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 102.
• 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 affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card. Use a CLASS ^4 card or better when shooting HD movies.
• Formatting a memory card 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; before editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.

Intelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection allows the camera to automatically detect human faces and set focus and exposure for a face anywhere in the frame for shots that emphasize portrait subjects. Choose for group portraits (in horizontal or vertical orientations) to prevent the camera from focusing on the background.

1 Turn Intelligent Face Detection on.

Intelligent Face Detection is turned on or off each time [💡] (Intelligent Face Detection) is pressed.

T W ON/OFF

2 Frame the picture.

If a face is detected, it will be indicated by a green border. If there is more than one face in the frame, the camera will select the face closest to the center; other faces are indicated by white borders.

3 Focus.

Press the shutter button halfway to set focus and exposure for the subject in the green border.

Caution

If no face is detected when the shutter button is pressed halfway (pg. 111), the camera will focus on the subject at the center of the display and red-eye will not be removed.

4 Shoot.

Press the shutter button all the way down to shoot.

Caution

If the subject moves as the shutter button is pressed, their face may not be in the area indicated by the green border when the picture is taken. If the number of faces is large, additional time may be required for processing.

Intelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection is recommended when using the self-timer for group- or self-portraits (pg. 38).

Autofocus

Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofocus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects listed below. If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, use focus lock (pg. 33) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.

• Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.

- Fast-moving subjects.

• Subjects photographed through a window or other reflective object.
• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than reflect light, such as hair or fur.
• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.
• Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color as the background).
• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for example, a subject photographed against a backdrop of highly contrasting elements).

The AF-Assist Illuminator

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator will light to assist the focus operation when the shutter button is pressed halfway.

Notes

• Avoid shining the AF-assist illuminator directly into your subject's eyes.
• The camera may be unable to focus using the AF-assist illuminator in some cases. If the camera is unable to focus in macro mode (pg. 35), try increasing the distance to the subject.

For close-ups, press the selector left (💡) to choose from the macro options shown below.

Diagram showing a DSLR camera with control panel and camera icon, including a zoom level indicator and plus/minus symbols.

Choose from ⚪ (macro mode),

(∼ (super macro mode), or

OFF (macro mode off)

When macro mode is in effect, the camera focuses on subjects near the center of the frame. Use the zoom control to compose pictures. In super macro mode, zoom can not be adjusted and the flash can not be used.

Notes

• Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake.
• Flash compensation may be required when using the flash (pg. 85).
• Using the flash at close range may cast a lens shadow. Zoom a little or have more distance from the subject.

↓ 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.

1 Raise the flash.

Press the flash pop-up button to raise the flash.

Turning the Flash Off

Lower the flash where flash photography is prohibited or to capture natural lighting under dim light. At slow shutter speeds, 📄 will be displayed to warn that pictures may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

⚡/💡⚡(FORCED FLASH)	The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration when shooting in bright light.
S⚡/💡SLOW(SLOW SYNCHRO)	Capture both the main subject and the background under low light (note that brightly lit scenes may be overexposed).

3 Focus.

Press the shutter button halfway to focus. If the flash will fire, 🎉 will be displayed when the shutter button is pressed halfway. At slow shutter speeds, 🎊 will appear in the display to warn that pictures may be blurred; use of a tripod is recommended.

4 Shoot.

Press the shutter button the rest of the way down to shoot.

Caution

The flash may fire several times with each shot. Do not move the camera until shooting is complete.

Note

The peripheral part of an image may be dark when using the flash.

Red-Eye Removal

When Intelligent Face Detection is active (pg. 31), and ON is selected for RED EYE REMOVAL in the setup menu (pg. 91), red-eye removal is available in AUTO, 📄, and SLOW.

Red-eye removal minimizes "red-eye" caused when light from the flash is reflected from the subject's retinas as shown in the illustration at right.

The camera offers a ten-second timer that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs, and a two-second timer that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed. The self-timer is available in all shooting modes.

1 Set the timer.

Press the selector down (☐), and then press the selector left or right to highlight an option and press MENU/OK.

Intelligent Face Detection

Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 31) 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. The camera will detect faces while the timer is counting down and adjust focus and exposure immediately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to move until the picture has been recorded.

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.

If the picture was created with the camera, check the printer manual to confirm that the printer supports the JFIF-JPEG or Exif-JPEG format. If it does not, the pictures can not be printed.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.”

Memory Card Capacity

The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at different image sizes. 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.
