1 Getting Ready

LOADING THE BATTERIES AND THE MEDIA

Compatible batteries

• AA-size alkaline batteries (2), Rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately), or AA-size Ni-MH batteries (sold separately) (2).
  ! Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

How to use the batteries

- Never use the following types of batteries, as this could cause serious problems such as batteries fluid leakage or overheating:

1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings
2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries together
3. Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.
4. Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can shorten time for which the batteries can be used.
5. The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries) can be used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C/+32°F to +50°F). The use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is better for this reason.
6. Cradle can be used in combination with camera and to charge rechargeable Battery NH-10 (sold separately). Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
   ● See P.74, 75 for other notes on using batteries.
7. When first purchased or if left unused for a long period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.75 more information.
8. When the surfaces of the Rechargeable Battery NH-10 terminals have become worn through repeated use or the battery has been taken out of the camera and left for a long period, the battery may stop supplying power or may become usable only for shorter periods.

To restore normal battery operation, open and close the battery cover several times to dislodge any soiling on the terminals.

1 H32-M10 -5.7

Check that the camera is turned off (viewfinder lamp is off) before opening the battery cover.

! Opening the battery cover while the camera is on, the camera is turned off.
! Do not apply force to the battery cover.

Do not open the battery cover while the camera is on. This could damage the xD-Picture Card or ruin the image files on the xD-Picture Card.

2 LR6 AA-size batteries Rechargeable battery NH-10

Load the batteries correctly as indicated by the polarity icons.

3 Gold marking

Align the gold marking on the xD-Picture Card slot with the gold contact area on the xD-Picture Card and push the card firmly all the way into the slot.

! If the xD-Picture Card is oriented incorrectly, it will not go all the way into the slot. Do not apply excessive force when inserting an xD-Picture Card.

◆ How to replace the xD-Picture Card ◆

Illustration of a hand holding a mechanical component with wires (no text or symbols visible)

Pull out the xD-Picture Card, taking care that the batteries do not fall out.

! If the xD-Picture Card is difficult to remove, take out the batteries first.

Checking the battery charge

Turn the camera on and check the battery charge.

① No icon

② Lit red
③ Blinking red

3M N 2.0 Lit red Blinking red

① There is ample battery charge.
② There is insufficient charge left in the batteries. The batteries will soon run out. Have a new set of batteries ready.
③ The batteries are depleted. The display will shortly go blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or recharge the batteries.

“☐” appears as a small icon on the right-hand side of the LCD monitor. “☐” appears as a large icon on the LCD monitor.

The information above is a guide for photography mode. Depending on the camera mode and the type of batteries used, the transition from “☐” to “☐” may occur more quickly.
Due to the nature of the battery, the battery low warning may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations. This is normal. Try warming the batteries in your pocket or a similar location before use.
* Battery level warning
1) The camera's estimation of the remaining battery charge varies greatly depending on the camera operation mode. Consequently, even if "☐" or "☐" is not displayed in Playback mode, one of them may appear when you change to Photography mode.
2) Depending on the battery type and the level of charge in the batteries, the camera may run out of power without first displaying a battery level warning. This is particularly to happen when batteries that have run out of charge once are re-used.

In situation 2), immediately load new or fully charged replacement batteries.

! See P.78, 79 for information on the warning displays.

Subjects not suitable for autofocus

The FinePix A330/FinePix A340 uses a high-precision autofocusing mechanism. However, it may have difficulty focusing on the following:

● 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
- Dark subjects
- Subjects with little or no contrast between the subject and the background (such as white walls or subjects dressed in the same color as

the background)

● Fast moving subjects
● Shots where another high-contrast object (not the subject) is close to the AF frame and is either closer or further away than your subject (such as a shot of someone against a background with strongly contrasting elements)

For such subjects, use AF/AE lock (→P.20).

! If pressing the Shutter button while the flash is charging, the picture will be taken without the flash.

◆ Red-eye effect ◆

When using the flash to taken a picture people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-eye reduction flash to minimize the likelihood of the effect.

Take the following measures to make Red-eye reduction more effective:

- Get the subjects to look at the camera. - Get as close as possible to the subjects.

EV (EXPOSURE COMPENSATION)

EV +0 .6 +0 .3 0 -0 .3

Select EV in the “☐ MANUAL” photography mode. Use this function for shots to get the correct brightness (exposure), such as shots with extremely high contrast between the subject and the background.

● Compensation range

-2.1 EV to +1.5 EV (13 steps in 0.3 EV increments) See P.86 for more information on EV.

Exposure compensation 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

To obtain the optimum brightness

Adjust the exposure compensation according to the level of brightness or darkness in the image.

- When the subject appears too bright Try a negative (−) compensation setting. This will make the overall image darker.

- When the subject appears too dark Try a positive (+) compensation setting. This will make the overall image brighter.

■ Guide to compensation

• Backlit portraits: +0.6 EV to +1.5 EV
• Very bright scenes (such as snowfields) and highly reflective subjects: +0.9 EV
• Shots made up predominantly of sky: +0.9 EV
• Spotlit subjects, particularly against dark backgrounds: -0.6 EV

HOW TO SPECIFY PRINT OPTIONS (DPOF)

DPOF

DPOF stands for Digital Print Order Format and refers to a format that is used for recording printing specifications for images shot using a digital camera on media such as an xD-Picture Card. The recorded specifications include information on which frames are to be printed.

This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with the FinePix A330/FinePix A340.

On the FinePix A330/FinePix A340, you can specify only one print per image in the DPOF settings.

* Note that some printers do not support date and time imprinting or specification of the number of prints.
* Note that the warnings shown below may be displayed while you are specifying the prints.

DPOF SPECIFIED. ERASE OK?

DPOF SPECIFIED. ERASE ALL OK? (→P.34)

When you erase the image, the DPOF setting for that image is deleted at the same time.

RESET DPOF OK ? (→P.36)

When you insert an xD-Picture Card that contains images specified for printing on by another camera, those print specifications are all reset and replaced by the new print specifications.
