h AA-size alkaline, Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) can be
used with this camera.
Do not use AA-size manganese, lithium or nickel-
cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix camera
because the heat generated by the batteries could
damage the camera or cause malfunctions.
h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary between
brands and the life of batteries you purchase may be
shorter than the alkaline batteries provided with the
camera.
h Do not store batteries in very warm or moist
locations.
h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small
children.
h
When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure that
the battery polarity (
+
and
_
) is as indicated on the
camera.
h Do not use new batteries together with used
batteries. In the case of rechargeable batteries, do
not use charged and discharged batteries together.
Do not use batteries of different types or brands
together.
h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
period of time, remove the batteries from the camera.
(Note that if the camera is left with the batteries
removed, the time and date settings are cleared.)
h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being
used. Before removing the batteries, switch the
camera off and wait until the batteries cool down.
h
When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.
Here, “new batteries” refers to either recently purchased
unused alkaline batteries, or Ni-MH (nickel metal
hydride) batteries that have recently been fully
recharged together.
h
In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or
below), battery performance deteriorates and the time
for which they can be used shortens markedly. This is
particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold conditions,
put the batteries in your pocket or a similar place to
warm them before loading them into the camera. If you
use a body warmer to warm the batteries, ensure that
they are not in direct contact with the warmer.

h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
h Do not carry or store batteries with metal objects
such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly
■ Places to Avoid
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of
locations:
hIn the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places.
hIn direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme
temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.
hExtremely cold places.
hPlaces subject to strong vibration.
hPlaces affected by smoke or steam.
hPlaces subject to strong magnetic fields (such as near
motors, transformers or magnets).
hIn 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 2650 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 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 xD-Picture
card. In this event, remove the xD-Picture Card 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 batteries and the xD-Picture Card before
storing the camera.
■ Cleaning Your Camera
hUse 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 soil remains, apply
a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of
FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.
hDo not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD
monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are easily
damaged.
hClean 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.
