Prodduct Feeatures and Precaauutionns for Use  
Water, DDust, annd Shockk Resistance  
Q The camera complies with JIS Class 8 water resistance and JIS Class 6 (IP68) dust resistance  
standards, and has passed FUJIFILM drop tests (drop height: 1.5 m/4.9 ft.; impact surface: ply-  
wood, thickness 5 cm/2.0 in.) compliant with MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5: Shock. These results  
were obtained through in-house testing and are not a blanket guarantee of water resistance  
or invulnerability to damage or destruction. The accessories supplied with the camera are not  
water resistant.  
Before Use  
Q The front surface of the camera lens is protected by a sheet of glass. Foreign matter on the  
glass will appear in photographs; keep the glass clean at all times.  
Q Be sure that the battery-chamber is fully latched. The presence of water, mud, or sand in the  
camera could cause malfunction.  
Q Do not open or close the battery-chamber with wet hands or near water, for example while  
on or by a body of water.  
Q Be sure the camera is completely dry before inserting or removing batteries or memory cards  
or connecting the USB or A/V cable.  
Q The camera does not float. Be sure to attach the strap and keep it around your wrist when  
using the camera.  
During Use  
Q Restrict underwater use to depths of 5m (16 ft.) or less and periods shorter than 120 minutes.  
Q Do not open or close the battery-chamber cover while under water.  
Q Do not use in hot springs or heated pools.  
Q Do not dive into water with the camera or otherwise subject it to excessive force.  
Q If the camera is left on the sand, its temperature may exceed operating limits and sand may  
get into the speaker or microphone.  
Q Sunscreen, suntan lotion, or other oily substances may discolor the camera body and should  
be removed with a damp cloth.  
Q The camera may lose water resistance if subjected to excessive force or vibration. Consult your  
retailer or a FUJIFILM-authorized repair technician.  
xi  
Product Features and Precautions for Use  
Affter Use  
Q Remove any foreign matter from the water-resistant seal and adjacent surfaces. Foreign mat-  
ter could damage the seal, lowering water resistance.  
Q After using the camera underwater or in locations where foreign matter might adhere to the  
camera body, rinse the camera under the tap or leave it in a basin of fresh water for two to  
three minutes.  
Q Liquid soaps, detergents, alcohol, and other cleansers may affect water resistance and should  
never be used.  
Q After use, remove water droplets and foreign matter with a dry cloth, firmly latch the battery-  
chamber cover, and soak the camera in fresh water for about ten minutes. Dry the camera  
thoroughly after removing it from the water.  
Storage and Maiintenancce  
Q Do not store at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F).  
Q To ensure continued water resistance, it is recommended that you have the water-resistant  
seal replaced about once a year (a fee is charged for this service). Contact your retailer or a  
FUJIFILM-authorized repair technician for more information.  
Coolldd Climates  
Q Battery performance drops at low temperatures, reducing the number of pictures that can be  
taken. Insulate the camera to keep it warm or place it in your clothing.  
Q Use an NP-45A battery.  
Q Display response may slow at low temperatures. This is not a malfunction.

Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card  
Compatible Memory Cards  
FUJIFILM and SanDisk SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards have been ap-  
proved for use in the camera. 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 SD/SDHC/SDXC 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, seeKFORMAT” (P80).  
• 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 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/SDXC memory  
card. Use a G card or better when shooting HD or high-speed movies.  
14  
First Steps  
Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card  
• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is re-  
paired. 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 computer 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.  
Q Batteries  
• 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 impossible to remove the battery from the camera.  
• Do not short the battery terminals. The battery could overheat.  
• Read the cautions inThe Battery and Power Supply(Pvi).  
• Use only battery chargers designated for use with the battery. Failure to observe this  
precaution could result in product malfunction.  
• 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.

Q Panoramas are created from multiple frames. The camera may in some cases record  
an greater or lesser angle than selected or be unable to stitch the frames together  
perfectly. The last part of the panorama may not be recorded if shooting ends be-  
fore the panorama is complete.  
Q Shooting may be interrupted if the camera is panned too quickly or too slowly. Pan-  
ning the camera in a direction other than that shown cancels shooting.  
Q The desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects, subjects close to  
the camera, unvarying subjects such as the sky or a field of grass, subjects that are  
in constant motion, such as waves and waterfalls, or subjects that undergo marked  
changes in brightness. Panoramas may be blurred if the subject is poorly lit.  
For Besst Results  
For best results, move the camera in a small circle at a steady speed, keeping the  
camera horizontal and being careful only to pan in the direction shown by the  
guides. If the desired results are not achieved, try panning at a different speed.

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.
