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.

Rechargeable battery Arrow FIFETM Terminals

Battery charger

2 Plug the charger in. The charging indicator will light.

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.

Charging is complete when the charging indicator turns off.

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 gray digital camera with a scroll wheel and indicator lights (no text or symbols)

Note

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

Cautions

• Do not turn the camera on or off while the battery-chamber cover is open. 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.

Face the gold terminals downward and align the orange stripe on the battery with the orange battery latch and slide the battery into the camera, keeping the battery latch pressed to the side. Confirm that the battery is securely latched.

Caution

Insert the battery in the correct orientation. Do NOT use force or attempt to insert the battery upside down or backwards. The battery will slide in easily in the correct orientation.

3 Close the battery-chamber cover.

Removing the Battery

After turning the camera off, open the battery-chamber cover, press the battery latch to the side, and slide the battery out of the camera as shown.

Battery latch

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 75). 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

SD memory cards can be locked, making it impossible to format the card or to record or delete images. Before inserting an SD memory card, slide the write-protect switch to the unlocked position.

Write-protect switch 100% S

■ Inserting a Memory Card

1 Open the battery-chamber cover.

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

Note

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

Cautions

• Do not turn the camera on or off while the battery-chamber cover is open. 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 memory card.

Holding the memory card in the orientation shown below, slide it all the way in.

Battery

• Be sure card is at correct orientation; do not insert at an angle or use force.
• If the battery-chamber cover cannot be closed, do not attempt to close it with excessive force, check that the card is correctly orientated.

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 handheld device with a hand inserting a cable into the case (no text or symbols visible)

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 SD 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 85.
  • 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

Illustration of a gray hard drive pad with no visible text or symbols

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 SD 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.

Intelligent Face Detection and Red-Eye Removal

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 to prevent the camera from focusing on the background. Intelligent Face Detection also offers a red-eye removal option for removing “red-eye” effects caused by the flash.

1 Turn Intelligent Face Detection on.

1.1 Press MENU/OK to display the shooting menu.

1.5 Press MENU/OK to select the highlighted option and return to shooting mode.

A [icon] icon appears in the monitor when Intelligent Face Detection is on.

Intelligent Face Detection

Intelligent Face Detection is recommended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits (pg. 28).

When a picture taken with Intelligent Face Detection is displayed, the camera can automatically select faces for playback zoom (pg. 37), slide shows (pg. 71), printing (pg. 50), and cropping (pg. 74).

Cautions

• If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (pg. 91), the camera will focus on the subject at the center of the monitor and red-eye will not be removed. If the camera is unable to detect a face, turn Intelligent Face Detection off and use focus lock (pg. 23).
• 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.
• In each shooting mode, the camera will detect and focus on faces but exposure will be optimized for the entire scene rather than the selected portrait subject.

Focus Lock

To compose photographs with off-center subjects:

1 Position the subject in the focus frame.

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. 23) 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.

When macro mode is in effect, the camera focuses on subjects near the center of the monitor. Use the zoom buttons to frame pictures.

To exit macro mode, press the selector left (💡). Macro mode can also be cancelled by turning the camera off or selecting another shooting mode.

Note

Use of a tripod is recommended to prevent blur caused by camera shake.

↓ 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.

To choose a flash mode, press the selector right (✗). The flash mode changes each time the selector is pressed; in modes other than AUTO, the current mode is indicated by an icon in the monitor. Choose from

the following options (some options are not available in all shooting modes; see the restrictions in another supplied document):

Diagram showing a device with a control panel and its corresponding keyboard interface with an upward arrow and dollar sign icon.

Mode	Description
AUTO (no icon)	The flash fires when required. Recommended in most situations.
⚡ (fill flash)	The flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use for backlit subjects or for natural coloration when shooting in bright light.
💡 (suppressed flash)	The flash does not fire even when the subject is poorly lit. 👉 will appear in the monitor at slow shutter speeds to warn that pictures may be blurred. Use of a tripod is recommended.
S⚡ (slow sync)	Capture both the main subject and the background when shooting at night (note that brightly lit scenes may be overexposed). If 👉* is selected for ➕ SHOOTING MODE, shutter speed may be slow. Use a tripod.

Caution

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

Red-Eye Removal

When ON is selected for Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 21), red-eye removal (○) is available in AUTO (AUTO), fill flash (○), and slow sync (SLOW)

modes. 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.

Silent Mode

In situations in which camera sounds or light from the flash may be unwelcome, press the DISP/BACK button until 🤒 is displayed in the monitor.

FUSIKM DISP BACK

The camera speaker, shooting indicator, flash, and indicator and self-timer lamps turn off (note that the flash will still fire in ⏻ mode).

Connecting the Camera

1 If the pictures you wish to copy are stored on a memory card, insert the card into the camera (pg. 9). If no card is inserted, pictures will be copied from internal memory.

5 Transferring starts. FinePixViewer will start automatically and the "Save Image Wizard" will be displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions to copy pictures to the computer. To exit without copying pictures, click CANCEL.

Caution

If FinePixViewer does not start automatically, the software may not be correctly installed. Disconnect the camera and reinstall the software.

For more information on using FinePixViewer, select How to Use FinePixViewer in the FinePixViewer Help menu.

Cautions

• Use only memory cards that have been formatted in the camera and contain pictures taken with the camera. If a memory card containing a large number of images is inserted, there may be a delay before FinePixViewer starts and FinePixViewer may be unable to import or save images. Use a memory card reader to transfer pictures.
• Opening or closing the lens cover during transfer could result in loss of data or damage to internal memory or the memory card.
• Disconnect the camera before inserting or removing memory cards.
• In some cases, it may not be possible to access pictures saved to a network server using FinePixViewer in the same way as on a standalone computer.
• The user bears all applicable fees charged by the phone company or Internet service provider when using services that require an Internet connection.

Disconnecting the Camera

After confirming that transferring has finished, follow the on-screen instructions to disconnect the camera and the computer. Close the battery-chamber cover and turn off the camera.

Uninstalling FinePixViewer

Only uninstall FinePixViewer before reinstalling the software or when it is no longer required. After quitting FinePixViewer and disconnecting the camera, drag the "FinePixViewer" folder from "Applications" into the Trash and select Empty Trash in the Finder menu (Macintosh), or open the control panel and use "Programs and Features" (Windows Vista) or "Add/Remove Programs" (other versions of Windows) to uninstall FinePixViewer. Under Windows, one or more confirmation dialogs may be displayed; read the contents carefully before clicking OK.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Notes on the Battery and Battery Charger

• The battery and charger may become warm to the touch during charging. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. If possible, charge the battery in a well-ventilated location.
• The battery charger may vibrate when in use. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
• If the charger causes radio interference, increase the distance between the charger and the radio receiver.
• Do not leave the charger in locations that are very dusty or exposed to strong vibration, extreme humidity, or high temperatures (for example, in direct sunlight or next to a heater).
• The battery charger can be used with input voltages of 100–240V AC and 50 or 60Hz. The shape of the plug varies with the country of sale; consult your travel agent to determine whether the charger can be used abroad.

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.
