For Your Safety
Battery capacity varies with make
and storage conditions. Some com-
mercially-available batteries may
have less capacity than the batteries
provided with the camera.
Cautions: Handling Batteries
• Do not use batteries that are leaking,
deformed, or discolored. Warning: If
the batteries leak, clean the battery
compartment thoroughly before in-
serting new batteries. If  uid from
the battery comes into contact with
skin or clothing,  ush the a ected
area with water. If  uid enters your eyes,
immediately  ush the a ected area with
water and seek medical attention. Do not
rub your eyes. Failure to observe this pre-
caution could result in loss of eyesight.
• Do not transport or store with
metal objects such as necklaces or
hairpins.
• Do not disassemble or modify the
batteries or battery casing.
• Do not expose to strong physical
shocks.
• Do not expose to water,  ame, or
heat, or store in warm or humid
conditions.
• Keep out of reach of infants and
small children.
• Insert in the correct orientation.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
batteries with di erent charge lev-
els, or batteries of di erent types.
• If the camera will not be used for
an extended period, remove the
batteries. Note that the camera
clock will be reset (pg. 14).
• The batteries may be warm to the
touch immediately after use. Turn
the camera o and allow the bat-
teries to cool before handling.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease
at low temperatures. Keep spare
batteries in a pocket or other warm
place and exchange as necessary.
Cold batteries may recover some
of their charge when warmed.
Fingerprints and other foreign
matter on the battery terminals
can reduce battery performance.
Thoroughly clean the terminals
with a soft, dry cloth before insert-
ing the batteries in the camera.
Ni-MH Batteries
The capacity of Ni-MH batteries may
be temporarily reduced when new,
after long periods of disuse, or if they
are repeatedly recharged before be-
ing fully discharged. This is normal
and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. Capacity can be increased by
repeatedly discharging the batteries
using the P DISCHARGE option in
the camera setup menu (pg. 100)
and recharging them using a battery
charger (sold separately). Do not use
this option with alkaline batteries.
The camera draws a small amount of
current even when o . Ni-MH batter-
ies that have been left in the camera
for an extended period may be drawn
down to the point that they no longer
hold a charge. Battery performance
may also drop if the batteries are run
down in a device such as a  ashlight.
Use the P DISCHARGE option in the
camera setup menu to discharge Ni-
MH batteries. Batteries that no lon-
ger hold a charge even after repeat-
edly being discharged and recharged
have reached the end of their service
life and must be replaced.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in
a battery charger (sold separately).
Batteries may become warm to the
touch after charging. Refer to the in-
structions provided with the charger
for more information. Use the char-
ger with compatible batteries only.
Ni-MH batteries gradually lose their
charge when not in use.
Disposal
Dispose of used batteries in accord
with local regulations.
AC Power Adapters (Available Separately)
Use only FUJIFILM AC power adapt-
ers designated for use with this cam-
era. Other adapters could damage
the camera.
• The adapter is for indoor use only.
• Be sure the DC plug is securely
connected to the camera.
• Turn the camera o before discon-
necting the adapter. Disconnect the
adapter by the plug, not the cable.
• Do not use with other devices.
• Do not disassemble.
• Do not expose to high heat and
humidity.
• Do not subject to strong physical
shocks.
• The adapter may hum or become hot to
the touch during use. This is normal.
• If the adapter causes radio inter-
ference, reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
Using the Camera
To ensure that images are recorded
correctly, do not subject the camera
to impact or physical shocks while
images are being recorded.
Electrical Interference
This camera may interfere with hospital
or aviation equipment. Consult with
hospital or airline sta before using the
camera in a hospital or on an aircraft.
Liquid Crystal
In the event that the monitor or elec-
tronic view nder is damaged, care
should be taken to avoid contact
with liquid crystal. Take the urgent
action indicated should any of the
following situations arise:
If liquid crystal comes in contact with
your skin, clean the area with a cloth
and then wash thoroughly with
soap and running water.
If liquid crystal enters your eyes,  ush
the a ected eye with clean water
for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical assistance.
If liquid crystal is swallowed, rinse
your mouth thoroughly with water.
Drink large quantities of water and
induce vomiting, then seek medi-
cal assistance.
Take Test Shots
Before taking photographs on impor-
tant occasions (such as at weddings
or before taking the camera on a trip),
take a test shot and view the result to
ensure that the camera is function-
ing normally. FUJIFILM Corporation
can not accept liability for damages
or lost pro ts incurred as a result of
product malfunction.
