For Your Safety
WARNING
CAUTION
Do not use the charger to charge batteries other than those speci-
fied here. The supplied battery charger is for use only with the
type of battery supplied with the camera. Using the charger to
charge conventional batteries or other types of rechargeable

in the hard case. When storing the battery, keep it in the hard case.
When discarding, cover the battery terminals with insulation tape.
Contact with other metallic objects or batteries could cause
the battery to ignite or burst.
Keep out of the reach of small children. This product could cause
injury in the hands of a child.
Do not place heavy objects on the camera. This can cause the
heavy object to tip over or fall and cause injury.
Keep memory cards out of the reach of small children. Because
memory cards are small, they can be swallowed by children.
Be sure to store memory cards out of the reach of small chil-
dren. If a child swallows a memory card, seek medical atten-
tion or call an emergency number.
Do not move the camera while the AC power adapter is still connect-
ed. Do not pull on the connection cord to disconnect the AC power
adapter. This can damage the power cord or cables and cause
a fire or electric shock.
Do not use the AC power adapter when the plug is damaged or the
plug socket connection is loose. This could cause a fire or electric
shock.
Do not cover or wrap the camera or the AC power adapter in a cloth
or blanket. This can cause heat to build up and distort the cas-
ing or cause a fire.
When you are cleaning the camera or you do not plan to use the
camera for an extended period, remove the battery and disconnect
and unplug the AC power adapter. Failure to do so can cause a
fire or electric shock.
When charging ends, unplug the charger from the power socket.
Leaving the charger plugged into the power socket can cause
a fire.

• Do not expose to water.
• Keep the terminals clean.
• The battery and camera body may become
warm to the touch after extended use. This
is normal.
Do not attempt to recharge a fully charged
battery. The battery does not however need
to be fully discharged before charging.
Li-ion Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses a
rechargeable Li-ion battery.
The battery may be warm to the touch imme-
diately after charging or use. This is normal.
The battery is not charged at shipment.
Charge the battery before use. Keep the bat-
tery in its case when not in use.
AA Alkalline/Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries
Read this section if your camera uses AA
alkaline or rechargeable AA Ni-MH bat-
teries. Information on compatible battery
types may be found elsewhere in the camera
manual.
■ Battery Life
At normal temperatures, the battery can be
recharged about 300 times. A noticeable de-
crease 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 re-
placed.
■ Notes on the Battery
The battery gradually loses its charge when
not in use. Charge the battery one or two
days before use.
■ Cautions: Handling the Batteries
• Do not expose to water, flame, or heat, or
store in warm or humid conditions.
• 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 subject to strong physical shocks.
• Do not use batteries that are leaking, de-
formed, or discolored.
Battery life can be extended by turning the
camera off when not in use.
■ Storage
Performance may be impaired if the battery is
left unused for extended periods when fully
charged. Run the battery flat before storing it.
Battery capacity decreases at low tempera-
tures; a depleted battery may not function at
when cold. Keep a fully charged spare battery
in a warm place and exchange as necessary,
or keep the battery in your pocket or other
warm place and insert it in the camera only
when shooting. Do not place the battery in
direct contact with hand warmers or other
heating devices.
If the camera will not be used for an extended
period, remove the battery and store it in a
dry place with an ambient temperature of
from +15 °C to +25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F). Do
not store in locations exposed to extremes of
temperature.
• Keep out of reach of infants and small chil-
dren.
• Insert in the correct orientation.

• 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 interference,
reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
The camera draws a small amount of current
even when off. Ni-MH batteries that have
been left in the camera for an extended pe-
riod may be drawn down to the point that
they no longer hold a charge. Battery perfor-
mance may also drop if the batteries are run
down in a device such as a flashlight. Use the
discharge option in the camera setup menu
to discharge Ni-MH batteries. Batteries that
no longer hold a charge even after repeat-
edly being discharged and recharged have
reached the end of their service life and must
be replaced.
Thoroughly clean the terminals with
a
soft, dry cloth before inserting them in the
camera.
If the batteries leak, clean the battery
compartment thoroughly before in-
serting new batteries.
If fluid from the battery comes into
contact with skin or clothing, flush
the affected area with water. If fluid
enters your eyes, immediately flush the
affected area with water and seek
medical attention. Do not rub your eyes.
Failure to observe this precaution could
result in permanent visual impairment.
Ni-MH batteries can be recharged in a battery
charger (sold separately). Batteries may be-
come warm to the touch after charging. Refer
to the instructions provided with the charger
for more information. Use the charger 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.

Q Memory Caarrds
• 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.
• Format SD/SDHC 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 for-
matting memory cards, see“KFORMAT” (P73).
• 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.
• miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions
of an SD/SDHC memory 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 affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of SD/SDHC memory card. Use
a G card or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.
• Formatting a memory card 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; before
editing or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies,
not the originals.

■ Noottiices
• Specifications subject to change without notice. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for
damages resulting from errors in this manual.
• Although the LCD monitor is manufactured using advanced high-precision technol-
ogy, small bright points and anomalous colors may appear, particularly in the vicinity
of text. This is normal for this type of LCD monitor and does not indicate a malfunc-
tion; 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.
