Caring for the Camera  
For continued enjoyment of your camera, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera body after each  
use. Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals, which could discolor or deform the leather  
on the camera body. Any liquid on the camera should be removed immediately with a soft, dry cloth.  
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens and monitor, then gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Any  
remaining stains can be removed by wiping gently with a piece of FUJIFILM lens-cleaning paper to  
which a small amount of lens-cleaning fluid has been applied. Care should be taken to avoid scratch-  
ing the lens or monitor.

Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card  
Q Batteries  
Reemoving the Battery annd Memorry Caarrdd  
• Remove dirt from the battery terminals with a clean,  
dry cloth. Failure to observe this precaution could  
prevent the battery from charging.  
• Do not affix stickers or other objects to the battery.  
Failure to observe this precaution could make it im-  
possible to remove the battery from the camera.  
• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could  
overheat.  
• Read the cautions in “The Battery and Power Supply”  
(Piv).  
• Use only battery chargers designated for use with the  
battery. Failure to observe this precaution could re-  
sult in product malfunction.  
Before removing the battery or memory card, turn  
the camera off and open the battery-chamber cover.  
To remove the battery, press  
the battery latch to the side,  
and slide the battery out of  
Battery latch  
the camera as shown.  
To remove the memory card,  
press it in and release it slowly.  
The card can then be removed  
by hand. When a memory card  
is removed, the card could  
come out of the slot too quickly. Use your finger to  
hold it and gently release the card.  
• Do not remove the labels from the battery or attempt  
to split or peel the outer casing.  
• The battery gradually loses its charge when not in  
use. Charge the battery one or two days before use.  
14  
Inserting the Battery and a Memory 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/SDXC memory card. Use a Gcard  
or better when shooting HD movies.  
• The data in internal memory may be erased or cor-  
rupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that  
the repairer will be able to view pictures in internal  
memory.  
• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the  
camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored.  
Do not rename or delete this folder or use a comput-  
er or other device to edit, delete, or rename image  
files. Always use the camera to delete pictures from  
memory cards and internal memory; before editing  
or renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit  
or rename the copies, not the originals. Renaming  
the files on the camera can cause problems during  
playback.  
Compatible Memory Cards  
FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC mem-  
ory cards have been approved for use in the cam-  
era. A complete list of approved memory cards  
is available at http://www.fujifilm.com/support/  
digital_cameras/compatibility/. Operation is not  
guaranteed with other cards. The camera can not  
be used with xD-Picture Cards or MultiMediaCard  
(MMC) devices.  
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 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  
formatting memory cards, see page 81.  
• 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/SDXC  
card may not eject normally; if the card does not  
eject, take the camera to an authorized service repre-  
sentative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

NUsing the Flashh ((SSuupper-Intelliigent Flash)  
When the flash is used, the camera’s Super-Intelligent Flash system instantly analyzes the scene based  
on such factors as the brightness of the subject, its position in the frame, and its distance from the  
camera. Flash output and sensitivity are adjusted to ensure that the main subject is correctly exposed  
while preserving the effects of ambient background lighting, even in dimly-lit indoor scenes. Use the  
flash when lighting is poor, for example when shooting at night or indoors under low light.  
To choose a flash mode, press the command dial right (N) to display the following  
options, then rotate the dial or press it left or right to highlight an option and press  
MENU/OK to select.

Autoffocus  
Although the camera boasts a high-precision autofocus system, it may be unable to focus on the subjects listed  
below.  
• Very shiny subjects such as mirrors or car bodies.  
• Fast-moving subjects.  
• Subjects photographed through a window or other reflective object.  
• Dark subjects and subjects that absorb rather than reflect light, such as hair or fur.  
• Insubstantial subjects, such as smoke or flame.  
• Subjects that show little contrast with the background (for example, subjects in clothing that is the same color  
as the background).  
• Subjects positioned in front of or behind a high-contrast object that is also in the focus frame (for example, a  
subject photographed against a backdrop of highly contrasting elements).

Focus MMode  
Use the focus mode selector to choose how the camera focuses.  
AF-S (Single AF): Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed halfway. Choose for  
stationary subjects.  
AF-C (Continuous AF): Focus is continually adjusted to reflect changes in the distance to  
the subject even when the shutter button is not pressed halfway (note that this increases the drain  
on the battery).  
MF (Manual): Focus manually using the focus ring. Rotate the ring left to reduce the focus distance, right  
to increase. The manual focus indicator indicates how closely the focus distance matches the dis-  
tance to the subject in the focus brackets (the red bar indicates the focus distance, the white bar the  
depth of field, or in other words the distance in front of and behind the focus point that appears to  
be in focus); you can also check focus visually in the electronic viewfinder or LCD monitor. Choose for  
manual control of focus or in situations in which the camera is unable to focus using autofocus (P47).

Sensitiivviitty  
“Sensitivity” refers to the camera’s sensitivity to light. Choose from values between L (100) (ISO 100)  
and H (12800) (ISO 12800). Higher values can be used to reduce blur when lighting is poor, while low-  
er values allow slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light; note, however, that mottling  
may appear in pictures taken at high sensitivities, particularly at H (12800), while choosing L (100)  
reduces dynamic range. Values of from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 are recommended in most situations.

or NORMAL+RAW is selected for image quality (P56, 70). For more information on the settings available with  
L (100) and H (12800), see page 120.  
R If ON is selected for NISO AUTO CONTROL in the setup menu (P84), the camera will automatically adjust  
sensitivity if optimal exposure can not be achieved at current settings. The currently selected value is shown

Appendix  
Gllossary  
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print ordersstored  
in internal memory or on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to be print-  
ed and the number of copies of each picture.  
EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount  
of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV  
increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering the  
camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.  
Exif Print: A standard for storing information with pictures for optimal color reproduction during printing.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface): An interface standard for the transmission of images and sound that  
adds audio input to the DVI interface used to connect computers to displays.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed file format for color images. The higher the compression  
rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.  
MOV: A movie file format (extension .mov”) developed by Apple, Inc., and viewed using QuickTime Player. This  
format is popular on the Internet.  
White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objects  
that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital  
cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This process  
is known aswhite balance.”

• Specifications subject to change without notice; for the latest information, visit http://www.fujifilm.com/products/  
digital_cameras/index.html. FUJIFILM shall not be held liable for damages resulting from errors in this manual.  
• Although the electronic viewfinder and LCD monitor are 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 display and does not indicate a malfunction; 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.
