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^ and +40^ (+32^ and +104^) . Refer to the Owner's Manual for the time of charging battery.
  • You should charge the battery at an ambient temperature between +10^ and +35^ (+50^ and +95^) . 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^ (+32^) 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^ and +25^ + 59^ and +77^ .

  • 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.

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".

① 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.

FUJIFILM FINEPIX S4000A - 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 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 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.

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. 44) 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.

SHARPNESS

Choose whether to sharpen or soften outlines.

  • HARD: Use for sharp outlines when photographing such subjects as buildings and text.
  • STANDARD: Standard sharpness. Best choice in most situations.
  • SOFT: Use for soft outlines in portraits and similar subjects.

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. 33) 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.

AF MODE

This option controls how the camera selects the focus area when Intelligent Face Detection is off (pg. 31). Regardless of the option selected, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the monitor when macro mode is on (pg. 35).

  • 回 Center: The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame. This option can be used with focus lock (pg. 33).
  • MULTI: When the shutter button is pressed halfway, the camera detects high-contrast subjects near the center of the frame and selects the focus area automatically (if the focus frame is not displayed, select CENTER and use focus lock; pg. 33).

FUJIFILM FINEPIX S4000A - AF MODE - 1

  • AREA: The focus position can be chosen manually by pressing the selector up, down, left, or right and pressing MENU/OK when the focus

brackets are in the desired position. Choose for precise focus when the camera is mounted on a tripod. Note that exposure is set for the subject in the center of the frame; to meter an off-center subject, use AF/AE lock (pg. 33).

  • CONTINUOUS: 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).

  • TRACKING: Position the subject in the center focus area and press the selector left to select tracking. Focus will track the subject as it moves through the frame.

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.

Traveling

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

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.

FUJIFILM FINEPIX S4000A - Glossary - 1

DPOF

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.
