CHARGING AND LOADING THE BATTERIES

Ni-MH batteries are not fully charged at shipment

and must be charged before being used. Newly

purchased batteries or batteries that have been left

unused for an extended period may not be fully

charged. (This is indicated by the immediate display

of the battery low warning and a low available

shots/time for battery operation.) This is a normal

characteristic of the batteries and does not indicate a

fault. Repeatedly charging and using the batteries 3

or 4 times will enable you to fully recharge the

batteries and increase the time for which the camera

will operate using batteries.

Batteries that Can Be Charged

AA-size Ni-MH batteries

✽ The shapes of the Battry charger, the plug and socket outlet

depend on the country.

Load the rechargeable batteries into the battery

charger as indicated on the label.

Plug the charger into a power outlet to begin

charging. Charging ends after about 5 hours and

the charging lamp goes off. Unplug the battery

charger from the power outlet when it is not in use.

If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH battery before it is

fully discharged, it will suffer from the “memory

If the terminals of Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride)

batteries are soiled, it may not be possible to charge

them. To avoid possible problems, clean the battery

terminals and charger terminals with a clean, dry

cloth. (Clean the batteries and charger terminals with

a clean, dry cloth the first time the batteries are

charged. Then insert and remove the batteries from

the charger several times prior to charging.)

Attempting to charge batteries other than those

specified for use with the charger (such as

manganese, alkaline or lithium batteries) can cause

the batteries to burst or leak. This could result in a

fire or injury and consequent damage to the

surroundings.

mode), press the “DISP” button to switch the

LCD monitor off (➡P.27).

See P.96 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter

when the camera is switched off.

Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter

while the camera is switched on temporarily

interrupts the power supply to the camera, so that

images or movies being shot at the time are not

recorded. Failing to switch the camera off first can

also result in damage to the SmartMedia or

malfunctions during PC connection.

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the

equipment and shall be easily accessible.

The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on

the country of use.

For close-up shots, use the Macro setting (➡P.28).

To minimize power consumption, use the viewfinder

(switch the LCD monitor off) to take pictures.

hFocal range: Approx. 60 cm (2.0 ft.) to infinity

Connecting the AC power adapter does not allow

you to charge the Ni-MH batteries. You must use

the charger provided (➡P.12) or the optional

charger (➡P.91) to charge Ni-MH batteries.

The image will be blurred if the camera moves when

taking the picture (camera shake). When shooting in

low-light conditions, use the flash (➡P.38) or a tripod to

prevent blurred images due to camera shake.

The flash charging time may increase when the battery

charge gets lower.

If the lens, flash or flash control sensor is obscured

by your fingers or the camera strap, you may not be

able to obtain the correct brightness (exposure) for

your shot.

To frame your shot precisely, you should take the

picture using the LCD monitor.

In some conditions it may be difficult to see your subject

clearly on the LCD monitor (Such as in sunny weather

outdoors or when you are shooting dimly lit scenes). In

such situations, use the viewfinder to take the shot.

Since the amount of image data recorded is not fixed and

varies depending on the subject (level of image detail,

etc.), the number of available shots may not decrease

after the image is recorded, or may decrease by 2.

See P.99-101 for information on the warning

displays.

During image recording, the viewfinder lamp

glows orange and you cannot take pictures.

Note also that switching the camera off or

opening the battery cover during image

DIGITAL ZOOM

Selecting Macro mode allows you to take close-

up shots. If the flash is set to “AUTO” or “:Red-

eye Reduction mode”, it is automatically set to

“uSuppressed Flash mode”.

Effective Photography Range:

Approx. 8 cm to 15 cm (3.1 in to 5.9 in.).

Zoom bar

Using the camera width (approx. 8.5 cm or 3.3 in.)

as a guide, ensure that the distance to the subject is

between 8 cm (3.1 in.) and 15 cm (5.9 in.). The

camera will not focus on subjects outside this focal

range.

To use the flash, select the “y Forced Flash” or

“; Slow Synchro” setting in the menu screen

(➡P.38-40). However, you may not be able to obtain

the correct brightness (exposure) for your shot.

When shooting in dark conditions, use a tripod to

prevent camera shake.

You can use the digital zoom function for only

“9” and “0” settings. Note that the digital

zoom only functions when you use the LCD

monitor to take shots.

To zoom in on your subject, press “a” ([Tele).

To zoom out, press “b” (]Wide).

A “zoom bar” appears on the LCD monitor.

Digital zoom focal distance (35 mm camera

equivalent)

9: Equivalent to approx. 38 mm-49 mm

(approx. 1.3×)

0: Equivalent to approx. 38 mm-95 mm

(approx. 2.5×)

To switch to Macro mode, slide the Macro selector

switch towards the Macro icon until it stops.

“i” : The “5” icon appears on the LCD monitor

and you can take close-up shots.

“t” : Macro mode is cancelled and the camera

is ready for normal shooting (➡P.23).

If you use the viewfinder to take a picture in

Macro mode, the field visible through the

viewfinder does not match the field actually

photographed because the viewfinder and lens

are in different positions. Accordingly, you

should use the LCD monitor to take pictures in

Macro mode.

The LCD monitor automatically switches on.

You cannot switch the LCD monitor off.

When you cancel Macro mode, the LCD monitor

remains on.

You cannot use the digital zoom for recorded pixels

of “8”.

Use the flash mode that best suits your shot.

Red-Eye Reduction

AUTO Auto Flash Mode

Forced Flash

Use this mode for ordinary photography. The

flash fires automatically as required by the

shooting conditions.

Use this mode to ensure that the subject’s eyes

appear natural when photographing people in

low-light conditions. The flash fires automatically

as required by the photography conditions.

The flash fires a pre-flash just before the picture is

taken and then fires again to take the actual picture.

Use this mode to photograph backlit scenes,

such as a subject against a window or in the

shade of a tree, or to obtain the correct colors

when you are shooting under lighting such as

fluorescent tubes. In this mode, the flash fires in

bright as well as dark conditions.

h5 modes: “AUTO, :, y, u and ;”

hEffective flash range (in “1 AUTO” mode):

Approx. 0.6 m to 3 m (2.0 ft. to 9.8 ft.)

When you select a flash mode, you may find that the

displayed image disappears and the screen goes

dark because the flash is charging. In this event, the

viewfinder lamp flashes orange.

You cannot use this setting in Macro (close-up)

photography.

Red-Eye Effect

The flash charging time may increase if the charge

remaining in the batteries is low.

When you use the flash to photograph people in low-light conditions, their eyes sometimes appear red in

the picture. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. Use Red-Eye

Reduction flash to effectively minimize the likelihood of the red-eye effect.

If you use the flash in very dusty environments or

when it is snowing, the flash may reflect off

snowflakes or floating dust particles so that they

appear as glowing white dots on your image.

Take the following measures also to make Red-Eye Reduction more effective :

h Get the subjects to look at the camera.

You cannot use this setting in Macro (close-up)

photography.

h Get as close as possible to the subjects.

Beep

Use this mode for photography using indoor

lighting, for shots taken through glass, and for

photography in venues such as theaters or at

indoor sporting events where the distance is too

great for the flash to be effective. When you use

Suppressed Flash, the Automatic White Balance

function (➡P.109) operates so that natural colors

are captured along with the ambience of the

available light.

This is a flash mode that uses a slow shutter

speed. This allows you to take pictures of people

at night that clearly show both your subjects and

the night time backdrop.

In this mode, a timer runs for roughly 10 seconds

before the shutter is released. Use this mode for

shots such as photographs of yourself.

See P.43 for more information on “.SOUND

SYNC.”

Locate the subject in the LCD monitor or

viewfinder and frame the shot. Then press the

shutter button to trigger the self-timer.

The self-timer is automatically cancelled in the

following situations:

i When you take a picture.

Do not stand in front of the camera when you press

the shutter button as this will result in an incorrect

brightness (exposure) setting for the shot.

The image may be overexposed when you shoot

bright scenes.

Because a slow shutter speed is used, a tripod

should be used to prevent camera shake.

If you are shooting in Suppressed Flash mode in dark

conditions, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

warning.

h Keep the batteries out of the reach of babies and small

children.

charged, this indicates that the battery has reached the

end of its effective life and should be replaced.

h Soil (fingerprints, etc) on the terminals of Ni-MH batteries

can greatly reduce the number of available shots. When

this occurs, clean the terminals carefully with a soft dry

cloth. Then use up the remaining charge in the batteries

and recharge them.

Newly purchased batteries or batteries that have been left

unused for an extended period may not be fully charged.

(This is indicated by the immediate display of the battery

low warning and a low available shots/time for battery

operation.) This is a normal characteristic of the batteries

and does not indicate a fault. Repeatedly charging and

using the batteries 3 or 4 times will enable you to fully

recharge the batteries and increase the time for which the

camera will operate using batteries.

h If you repeatedly charge a Ni-MH batteries before it is

fully discharged, it will suffer from the “memory effect”^✽,

causing the “battery low” warning to appear while there is

still ample charge remaining in the battery. To restore the

batteries to their normal condition, use up all the charge

in the batteries before recharging them.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe the battery

compartment thoroughly and then load new batteries.

Applicable Batteries

h Use AA-size nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries in this

camera.

AA-size lithium or manganese batteries cannot be used as

they emit heat and can cause camera faults or damage.

hOnly use AA-size alkaline batteries for emergencies. The

capacities of alkaline batteries vary depending on the

brand and the life of some batteries (the time for which

they provide power) may be much shorter than others.

You should also switch the LCD monitor off when using

alkaline batteries.

f any battery fluid comes into contact with your hands or

clothing, flush the area thoroughly with water. Note that battery

fluid can cause loss of eyesight if it gets in your eyes. If this

occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid out with clean water

and contact your physician for treatment.

When loading the batteries in the camera, ensure that the

battery polarity (! and @) is as indicated on the camera.

h Do not use a new battery together with an used battery.

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.)

IDisposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with your

local waste disposal regulations.

INotes on using compact rechargeable batteries

(Ni-MH batteries)

h To charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries, follow the correct

charging procedure using the special charger provided or

the optional fast charger.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other

than those specified for use with the charger.

h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately after

being charged.

h Ni-MH batteries are not charged at shipment.

h The camera mechanism is such that it draws a minute

amount of current even when the camera is switched off.

Note particularly that Ni-MH batteries will become over-

discharged if left in the camera for a long period and will

no longer be usable even if recharged.

h Ni-MH batteries self-discharge even when they are not

being used. Always charge Ni-MH and Ni-Cd batteries

before using them. If the time for which a battery provides

power shortens markedly when it has been correctly

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to leak,

become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the

precautions given below.

hDo not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.

hDo not carry or store batteries with metal objects such as

necklaces or hairpins that could come into contact with

the metal positive ! and negative @ poles of the

batteries.

hDo not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water, and

take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

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.

When replacing the batteries, always fit 2 new batteries.

Here, “new batteries” refers to batteries that were recently

fully charged at the same time.

Battery performance deteriorates at low temperatures

(+10°C/+50°F or below) and the time for which they can be

used shortens. 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.

Soil, such as fingerprints, on the battery terminals can

significantly reduce the number of available shots. Carefully

wipe the battery terminals clean with a soft, dry cloth before

loading the batteries.

✽ Memory effect: A phenomenon whereby a battery

displays the characteristic of appearing to

have a reduced capacity.

Notes on Using the Enclosed Battery Charger

h Rechargeable batteries and the battery charger itself will

become warm due to the power stored inside the

batteries. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.

hDo not attempt to peel off or cut the batteries casing.

hDo not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries to

strong impacts.

hDo not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,

Notes on the SmartMedia^™

Notes on the Power Supply

Wherever possible, use the battery charger in a well-

ventilated location.

h There may be vibration noises from inside the battery

charger during use. This is normal and does not indicate

a fault.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other

than FUJIFILM HR-3UF Ni-MH batteries.

h The battery charger could cause interference if placed

close to a radio during charging. In this event, move the

radio and charger further apart.

h Do not touch the connections or contact points on

rechargeable batteries with other metal objects as this

can cause a short circuit.

Do not leave the battery charger in the following locations:

Locations subject to strong vibrations, in very dusty

locations, or in locations with very high humidity or high

temperatures, such as close to a heating appliance or in

direct sunlight.

The battery charger accepts input voltages of 100-240 V AC

at 50 or 60 Hz and can be used outside Japan. However,

because the shapes of power sockets vary by country and

by region, an appropriate plug adapter is also required for

each country. Consult your travel agent for details.

Explanation of Terms

DPOF:

Motion JPEG:

PNG:

White Balance:

Digital Print Order Format

A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format

that handles images and sound as a single file.

Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format.

Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0

or later.

An acronym for Portable Network Graphic.

As the name suggests, this is an image format

created to facilitate the handling of image data over

networks and has emerged as the new replacement

for the GIF format. As such, it has many of the GIF

format characteristics (optimized for graphics,

compact file sizes and lossless compression) but

does not have the limitations of the GIF format,

such as being restricted to 256 colors.

Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye

adapts to it so that a white object still looks white.

On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras

see a white subject as white by first adjusting the

color balance to suit the color of the ambient light

around the subject. This adjustment is called

matching the white balance. A function that

automatically matches the white balance is called

an Automatic White Balance function.

DPOF is a format used for recording information on

a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that

allows you to specify which of the frames shot using

a digital camera are printed and how many prints

are made of each image.

MP3:

EV:

An acronym for MPEG1 Audio Layer 3. Denotes an

audio compression format included in the MPEG

video and audio compression standard. The MP3

format compresses audio data to approximately

1/10 of its original size by excluding all audio

information that is not audible to humans.

A number that denotes Exposure Value. The EV is

determined by the brightness of the subject and

sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number

is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark

subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes,

a digital camera maintains the amount of light

hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the

aperture and shutter speed.

VGA:

A graphics standard for personal computers that

indicates an image size of 640×480 pixels.

PC Card:

WAVE:

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card

Standard.

A standard format used on Windows systems for

saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file

extension and the data can be saved in either

compressed or uncompressed format. This camera

use PCM recording.

When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles,

the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is

halved, the EV decreases by 1.

PC Card Standard:

A standard for PC cards determined by the

PCMCIA.

JPEG:

WAVE files can be played back on a personal

computer using the following software:

Windows : MediaPlayer

Joint Photographics Experts Group

A file format used for compressing and saving color

images. The compression ratio can be selected, but

the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the

quality of the expanded image.

PCMCIA:

Personal Computer Memory Card International

Association (US).

Macintosh: QuickTime Player

✽ QuickTime 3.0 or later
