Loop the strap over your wrist, brace your elbows firmly against your body and hold the camera with both hands.

Be careful to ensure that the lens, microphone and flash control sensor are not obscured by your hands or the camera strap.

For subjects closer than 60 cm (2 ft.), use Macro photography (P.62).
To minimize power consumption, you should use the viewfinder (switch the LCD monitor off) to take pictures.
The camera may not be able to take successful pictures if your fingers or the strap are in the way.
Check that the lens is clean. If it is dirty, clean the lens as described on P.113.

Approx. 36 mm-108 mm (1.4 in. to 4.3 in.) Maximum zoom scale: 3×
Zooming stops briefly when the camera switches between optical zoom and digital zoom (P.30).

TAKING PICTURES (AUTO MODE)

Using the viewfinder or LCD monitor, frame your shot so that the subject fills the entire AF (Auto Focus) frame.
24 If your subject is not in the center of the picture, use AF/AE lock to take the picture (→P.28).

Simple geometric diagram with a circle inside a rectangle and a number 6 in the top-left corner (no text or symbols)

When you are using the viewfinder to take a picture at a distance of 0.8 m to 1.5 m (2.6 ft. to 4.8 ft.), only the shaded area in the figure is photographed.

To frame your shot precisely, you should take the picture using the LCD monitor.
In some conditions it may be difficult to see your subject clearly on the LCD monitor (Such as in sunny weather outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit scenes). In such situations, use the viewfinder to take the shot.
The image shown on the LCD monitor before you take the shot may differ in its brightness, color, etc. from the image actually recorded. If necessary, play back the recorded image to check it (→P.32).

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the camera emits a short double-beep and focuses on your subject (the viewfinder lamp (green) changes from blinking to steady). At that point, the AF frame on the screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the shutter speed and aperture.

If the camera does not emit a short double-beep and "AF" appears on the screen, the camera cannot focus.

When you press the shutter button down halfway, the image on the screen frames temporarily. However, this image is not the recorded image.

If "AF" is displayed on the screen (e.g., the shot is too dark for the camera to focus), try standing about 2 m (6.6 ft.) from your subject to take the picture.

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

! If you press the shutter button down fully in one motion, the shot is taken without the AF frame changing.
When you take a picture, the viewfinder lamp lights orange (camera not ready) before switching back to green to indicate that the camera is again ready for shooting.
The viewfinder lamp flashes orange while the flash is charging. If the LCD monitor is switched on, the screen may go dark for a moment. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
See P.119-121 for information on the warning displays.

TAKING PICTURES (AUTO MODE)

■ Viewfinder Lamp Display *When the LCD monitor is switched on, more detailed warning messages are displayed (→P.119-121).

◆ Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus ◆

Though the FinePix F601 ZOOM uses an accurate autofocus mechanism, it may have difficulty focusing or not be able to focus at all for the types of subject and situation listed below. In such cases, the image may be out of focus.

● 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.
● When the subject is dark.
- When there is very little contrast between the subject and the background (such as white walls or subjects dressed in the same color as the background).

● Subjects moving at high speed.
- When something other than your subject is close to the AF frame, has contrasting areas of light and dark and is either closer or further away than your subject (as when you photograph someone against a background with strongly contrasting elements).
For subjects of this type, use AF/AE lock (→P.2B).

Number of Available Frames

The number of available shots is displayed on the LCD monitor.

See P.93 for information on changing the File size and Quality setting.
At shipment, the default settings are "10" (file size) and N (quality: NORMAL).

■ Standard number of shots per SmartMedia

Because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available shots may not decrease when recording ends, or may decrease by 2 frames. Also, the discrepancy between the actual number of shots and the standard number of shots tends to be larger when there is more space remaining on the SmartMedia

USING AF/AE LOCK

Black-and-white photo of two people lying on grass, one holding a cup (no visible text or symbols)

In a shot with this type of composition, the subjects (two people in this case) are not in the AF frame. If the shot is taken at this point, the subjects will not be in focus.

Black-and-white photo of two people lying on grass, one wearing a cap and the other in a hat (no visible text or symbols)

Move the camera slightly so that one of the subjects in the AF frame.

AF/AE Lock

On the FinePix F601 ZOOM, when you press the shutter button down half way, the focus and exposure settings are fixed (AF/AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is off to one side of the image or if you want to set the exposure before you compose the final shot, lock the AF and AE settings and then compose and shoot your picture to get the best results.

Keep holding the shutter button down halfway (AF/AE lock). Check that the AF frame on the LCD monitor shrinks and that the shutter speed and aperture setting are displayed (the viewfinder lamp (green) changes from blinking to steady).

Continue to hold the shutter button down halfway (AF/AE lock). Move the camera back to the original image and then fully press down on the shutter button.

You can reapply the AF/AE lock as many times as you like before releasing the shutter.
The AF/AE lock operates in all photography modes and can be used to ensure excellent results.

DIGITAL ZOOM

If the file size (image size) setting is "SM", "1M" or "VBA", you can use the digital zoom. However, this only applies when you are using the LCD monitor to take pictures.

● Digital zoom focal distance (35 mm camera

equivalent)
3M: Equivalent to approx. 108 mm-151 mm (Max. 1.4×)
1M: Equivalent to approx. 108 mm-238 mm (Max. 2.2×)
VBA: Equivalent to approx. 108 mm-475 mm (Max. 4.4×)
You cannot use the digital zoom for recorded pixels of "BM".
! The digital zoom cannot be used in high-sensitivity photography.
See P.93 for information on changing the file size setting

The position of the "■" on the zoom bar indicates the current zoom setting.

• If the "■" is above the dividing line, the digital zoom is being used. If it is below the line, the optical zoom is being used.
• Press "▲" or "▼" to move the "■" up and down.
• When you switch between digital zoom and optical zoom, the "■" stops moving briefly. Press the button for the same direction again to start the "■" moving and switch the zoom setting.
  If the image goes out of focus when you use the zoom, press the shutter button down halfway to refocus.
  The optical zoom is equivalent to approximately 36 mm-108 mm on a 35 mm camera.

FRAMING GUIDELINE FUNCTION

The photography mode can be set to "AUTO • or □M". The mode shown on the LCD monitor switches each time you press the "DISP" button. Press the "DISP" button to display the framing guideline.

The framing guideline is not recorded on the image. The lines in the scene frame roughly divide the recorded pixels into three equal parts horizontally and vertically. When the image is printed, the resulting print may be shifted slightly from the scene frame.

PHOTOGRAPHY MENU

[O] PHOTOMETRY

This mode can be selected in the "OM" photography mode.

Use this mode for scenes where the brightness of the subject and background differ markedly so that the Multi setting is unlikely to achieve the desired result.

• MULTI : Exposure metering where the camera automatically assesses the scene and selects the optimum exposure.
• SPOT : Exposure metering where the exposure is optimized for the center of the image.
  ●AVERAGE: Exposure metering where an average value for the entire image is used.

◆ The exposure metering modes are — effective for the following subjects ◆

• MULTI

In this mode, the camera uses automatic scene recognition to analyze the subject and provide optimum exposure in a wide range of shooting conditions. This mode should be used for everyday photography.

- SPOT

This mode is useful for subjects with strongly contrasting bright and dark areas where you want to achieve the correct exposure for a particular feature.

●AVERAGE

The advantage of this mode is that the exposure tends not to change for different compositions or subjects. This mode is particularly effective for shots of people wearing black or white clothing and shots of scenery.

PHOTOGRAPHY MENU

EV (EXPOSURE COMPENSATION)

This mode can be selected in the "OM" photography mode.

Use the Brightness setting to obtain the optimum image brightness (exposure) when the subject is much brighter or darker than the background.

●Correction range: 13 steps

(-2.1 EV to +1.5 EV in 0.3 EV increments) See P.128 for more information on EV.

The Brightness setting is disabled in the following situations:

• When the flash is used in Auto or Red-Eye Reduction mode.
• When dark scenes are shot in Forced Flash mode.

You cannot set the brightness when the Photography menu mode (P.66) is set to Shutter-priority Auto or when the exposure is set manually.

●Settings: 160, 200 (standard), 400, 800, 1600

Higher sensitivity (ISO) values are better suited to shooting in dark conditions, but they tend to increase the amount of interference appearing on the image. Choose the setting that gives the best results for the conditions.

High-sensitivity photography is cancelled if you select any photography mode other than "OM" MANUAL. Note that the Quality setting remains set to "TM", NORMAL.

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

▶Be sure to read this information in conjunction with "Safety Notes" (→P.130), to ensure that you use your camera correctly

■ Places to Avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of locations:

• In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
  ● In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
  temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.
  ● Extremely cold places.
• Places subject to strong vibration.
  ● Places affected by smoke or steam.
• Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near motors, transformers or magnets).
• In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

■ Notes on Immersion in Water or Sand

The FinePix F601 ZOOM is particularly adversely affected by water and sand. When you are at the beach or close to water, ensure that the camera is not exposed to water or sand. Take care also not to place the camera on a wet surface. Water or sand inside the camera can cause faults that may be irreparable.

■ Notes on Condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour before using the camera. Condensation may also form on the SmartMedia

card. In this event, remove the SmartMedia and wait a short time before using it again.

■ When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the battery and the SmartMedia card before storing the camera.

■ Cleaning Your Camera

• Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens, LCD monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces, 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 such as thinners, benzine or insecticide, as these may react with camera body and cause deformation or remove the coating.

■ Using the Camera Overseas

When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera may be damaged internally even when no external damage is visible.

Notes on Using the Battery (NP-60)

This camera uses the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60. Note the points below when using the rechargeable battery. Take particular care to read the Safety Notes to ensure that you use the battery correctly. *When shipped, the NP-60 is not fully charged. Always charge the NP-60 before using it.

• When carrying the NP-60, install it in a digital camera or keep it in the soft case.
• When storing the NP-60, place it inside the special soft case provided.

■ Battery Features

• The NP-60 gradually loses its charge even when not used. Use a NP-60 that has been charged recently (in the last day or two) to take pictures.
• To maximize the life of the NP-60, switch the camera off as quickly as possible when it is not being used.
• The number of available shots will be lower in cold locations or at low temperatures. Take along a spare fully charged NP-60.

You can also increase the amount of power produced by putting the NP-60 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 NP-60 directly against the pad. The camera may not operate if you use a depleted NP-60 in cold conditions.

■ Charging the Battery

• You can charge the NP-60 using the AC Power Adapter AC-5VS/AC-5VHS.
• The NP-60 can be charged at ambient temperatures between 0^ and +40^ (+32^ and +104^) . At an ambient temperature of +23^ (+73^) , it takes approximately 5 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
• You cannot charge the NP-60 at temperatures of 0°C (+32°F) or below.
• You can also use the optional BC-60 Battery Charger to charge the NP-60.
• The NP-60 can be charged using the BC-60 Battery Charger at ambient temperatures between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F and +104°F). At an ambient temperature of +23°C (+73°F), it takes approximately 2 hours to charge a fully depleted NP-60 battery.
• You should charge the NP-60 at an ambient temperature between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F). If you charge the NP-60 at a temperature outside this range, charging takes longer because the performance of the NP-60 is impaired.
  ● The NP-60 does not need to be fully discharged or exhausted flat before being charged.
  ● The NP-60 may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after being used. This is perfectly normal.
• Do not recharge a fully charged NP-60.

■ Battery Life

At normal temperatures, the NP-60 can be used at least 300 times.
If the time for which the NP-60 provides power shortens markedly, this indicates that the NP-60 has reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced

Notes on storage

Lithium-ion Battery Pack NP-60 is both compact and capable of storing large quantities of power. However, if it 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 flat before storing it.
  ● Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used.
• Place the battery pack inside the soft case and store 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

To avoid injury or damage, observe the following:

• Do not allow the metal portions of the battery to touch other metal objects.

• Do not bring the battery close to a flame or throw it into a fire.

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.

• Do not recharge the battery with chargers other those specified.
  ● Dispose of used batteries promptly.

To avoid damaging the battery or shortening its life, observe the following:

• Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts
• Do not immerse the battery in water.

To ensure that you obtain optimum battery performance, observe the following:

● Always keep the battery terminals clean.
- Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten the battery life.

If you use the battery for a long period, the camera body and the battery itself will become warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Notes on the SmartMedia™

SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix F601 ZOOM camera is a new image recording medium developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each SmartMedia card contains a built-in semiconductor memory chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for storing digital image data.

Because the data is stored electronically, the stored image data can be erased from the card and new data recorded.

■SmartMedia with IDs

The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia ID cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers for copyright protection or other purposes. This camera accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as conventional SmartMedia cards.

■Storing Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be erased (destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the loss (destruction) of recorded data.

*When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the owner or a third party

*When the SmartMedia is exposed to static electricity or electrical noise

*When the battery cover is opened or the SmartMedia removed and the camera is then switched off during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back.

Back up important data onto another medium. (MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.)

■Notes on Handling SmartMedia

● Take care to hold the SmartMedia straight when you load it into your camera.

- Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera off during data recording, during data erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance when images are being played back. These actions could result in damage to the SmartMedia.

- Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the FinePix F601 ZOOM. The use of other SmartMedia could damage the camera.

- SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive shocks.

- Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments likely to be affected by strong static electricity or electrical noise.

- Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or corrosive environments.

- Take care not to touch the SmartMedia's contact area or allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.

- To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always use the special static-free case provided during transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in a storage case if available.

Notes on the SmartMedia™

• Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to excessive force when you sit down, thereby damaging the SmartMedia.
• The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed from the camera after extended periods of picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
• Inserting a SmartMedia that is charged with static electricity into your camera may result in a camera malfunction. If this occurs, switch the camera off and then on again.
• Affix the label onto the designated area of the card. Do not use third-party labels as this can lead to problems when the card is inserted or removed.
• When you attach the label, take care that it does not cover any of the write-protect area.
• If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on your camera.
• When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is automatically created. Image data is then recorded in this directory.
• Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your camera.

■Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

● Always use the camera to erase image data on a SmartMedia
- To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC's hard disk and then edit the copied data.

Be sure to use your PC's disk eject function (right-click the removable disk icon in the "My Computer" window and then click "Eject") when you eject a SmartMedia from the PC card reader or PC card adapter.

When you are using a USB connection, you should also select and left-click the eject button for "USB disc/mass storage" in the taskbar. If you do not use the correct eject procedure, the SmartMedia may be damaged due to write-behind cashing.

* These specifications are subject to change without notice. * The LCD monitor on your digital camera is manufactured using advanced high-precision technology. Even so, small bright points and anomalous colors (particularly around text) may appear on the monitor. These are normal display characteristics and do not indicate a fault with the monitor. This phenomenon will not appear on the recorded image. * The operation error may be caused in a digital camera by the strong radio interference (i.e. electric fields, static electricity, line noise, etc.).

Explanation of Terms

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 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.

JPEG:

Joint Photographics Experts Group

A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.

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).

VGA/QVGA:

Graphics standards for PCs. Images are displayed at 640 × 480 and 320 × 240 pixels respectively.

WAVE:

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the "WAV" file extension and the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. This camera use PCM recording.

WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:

Windows : MediaPlayer

Macintosh: QuickTime Player

* QuickTime 3.0 or later

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. A function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.
