If you exceed the control range for a photography mode (as with a scene that is extremely

overexposed or underexposed), the shutter speed or aperture is displayed in red on the screen.

For dimly lit scenes, “----” is displayed on the screen as the shutter speed and aperture setting. When

this occurs, press the shutter button down halfway so that the camera takes the measurements and

displays the settings.

FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY

Red-Eye Reduction

i Auto Flash Mode

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 a pre-flash just before the picture is

taken and then fires again to take the actual picture.

The

red-eye reduction flash in “5” or “4” mode

fires automatically when required by the conditions.

Red-Eye Effect

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.

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

Get the subjects to look at the camera.

Get as close as possible to the subjects.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Slow Synchro

Forced Flash

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 nighttime backdrop.

Use this flash 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.

Red-Eye Reduction + Slow Synchro

Use this mode for slow synchro shots with red-

eye reduction.

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.

To take a picture of a main subject at night with

the background brightly lit, please use the “4”

mode “y” (Night Scene) settings (➡P.43).

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 Auto White Balance function (➡P.112) operates

Explanation of Terms

AF/AE Lock :

On the FinePix6900 ZOOM, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure

settings (AF and AE lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change

the picture composition after the exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the

composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.

Auto Power Save If the camera is not used in any way for 30 seconds, this function switches features such as the LCD

Function :

monitor off (Sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power

adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused for a further period, the Auto Power Save

function switches the camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera.

The Auto Power Off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is

disabled during setup.

DPOF :

EV :

Digital Print Order Format

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.

A number that denotes exposure. 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.

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.

JPEG :

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.

Motion JPEG :

PC Card :

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.

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.

PC Card Standard : A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.

)

PCMCIA :

Personal Computer Memory Card International Association US .

White Balance :

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

112

Balance function.

Notes on Using Your Camera Correctly

Be sure to read this information in conjunction with before you use this product “Safety Notes”

(➡P.127) to ensure that you use your camera correctly.

Places to Avoid

When the Camera is Unused for Long Periods

Do not store or use the camera in the following types of

locations :

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long period

of time, remove the batteries and the SmartMedia card

before storing the camera.

Very humid, dirty or dusty places.

In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

Cleaning Your Camera

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in summer.

Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens and

LCD surface and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry

cloth. If any soiling remains, apply a small amount of

lens cleaning liquid to a piece of FUJIFILM lens

cleaning paper and wipe gently.

Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are

easily damaged.

Clean the body of the camera with a soft dry cloth. Do

not use volatile substances such as thinners, benzine

or insecticide, as these may react with camera body

and cause deformation or remove the coating.

Extremely cold places.

Places subject to strong vibrations.

Places affected by smoke or steam.

Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as

places near motors, transformers or magnets).

In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next

to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time.

Do not expose the camera to sand

The FinePix6900 ZOOM is particularly and adversely

affected by sand. In sandy locations such as beaches

or deserts, or in locations where there is wind borne

sand, ensure that the camera is not exposed to sand.

This can cause faults that may be irreparable.

Using the Camera Overseas

When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in

the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports

may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the camera

may be damaged internally even when no external

damage is visible.

Notes on Condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location

into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may

form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When

this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour

before using the camera. Condensation may also form

on the SmartMedia card. In this event, remove the

SmartMedia and wait a short time before using it again.

stored for long periods while charged, the performance

of the battery can be impaired.

Do not drop the battery or otherwise subject it to

strong impacts.

Do not immerse the battery in water.

If the battery will not be used for some time, run the

battery flat before storing it.

If the battery is kept in storage for a long period, charge

the battery and then run it flat again at least once a year.

To ensure that you obtain optimum battery

performance, observe the following:

Always keep the battery terminals clean.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Storing the

battery for long periods in a hot location can shorten

the battery life.

Always remove the battery from the digital camera or

battery charger when it is not being used. Left

installed, minute amounts of current flow even when

unused, and the battery may become excessively

drained and no longer function.

If you use the battery for a long period, the camera

body and the battery itself will become warm. This is

normal and is not a malfunction. Use the AC power

adapter supplied with the camera if you are taking

pictures or viewing images for a long period of time.

Attach the cap and store in a cool place.

✽The battery should be stored in a dry location with an

ambient temperature between +15°C and +25°C

(+59°F and +77°F).

Notes on the Power Supply

✽ Very occasionally, DC output will be prevented by the

operation of the internal protection circuit. In this event, unplug

the AC-5VS/AC-5VH from the power socket for a few

moments and then plug it in again. This will restore DC output.

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC-5VS/AC-5VH AC Power Adapter

with the FinePix6900 ZOOM Camera.

The use of an AC power adapter other than the AC-5VS/

AC-5VH could result in damage to your FinePix6900

Notes on the SmartMedia^™

✽

When the SmartMedia cover is opened or the

SmartMedia removed, or when the camera is

switched off during data recording, during data

erasing (SmartMedia formatting) or during frame

advance when images are being played back.

SmartMedia

The SmartMedia card supplied with your FinePix6900

ZOOM camera is a new image recording medium

developed especially for use in digital cameras. Each

SmartMedia card contains a built-in semiconductor

memory chip (NAND flash memory) which is used for

storing digital image data.

Because the data is stored electronically, the stored

image data can be erased from the card and new data

recorded.

Back up important data onto another medium.

(MO disk, floppy disk, hard disk, etc.)

Notes on Handling SmartMedia

When inserting the card into the camera, hold the

SmartMedia straight as you push it in.

SmartMedia with IDs

The SmartMedia ID is a SmartMedia that has an

individually assigned identification number. SmartMedia

ID cards can be used with devices that use ID numbers

for copyright protection or other purposes. This camera

accepts SmartMedia ID cards in the same way as

conventional SmartMedia cards.

Never remove the SmartMedia or switch the camera

off during data recording, during data erasing

(SmartMedia formatting) or during frame advance

when images are being played back. These actions

could result in damage to the SmartMedia.

Use only the SmartMedia specified for use with the

FinePix6900 ZOOM. The use of other SmartMedia

could damage the camera.

SmartMedia are precision electronic devices. Do not

bend, drop, or subject SmartMedia to excessive

shocks.

Do not use or store SmartMedia in environments

likely to be affected by strong static electricity or

electrical noise.

Storing Data

In the situations listed below, recorded data may be

erased (destroyed). Please note that Fuji Photo Film

Co., Ltd. accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the

loss (destruction) of recorded data.

✽

When the SmartMedia is used incorrectly by the

owner or a third party

✽

Notes on the SmartMedia^™

Do not use or store SmartMedia in very hot, humid or

corrosive environments.

Take care not to touch the SmartMedia’s contact area

or allow the area to become soiled. Use a dry lint-free

cloth to wipe away any soiling that does occur.

Notes on Using SmartMedia with a PC

If you intend to take photos using a SmartMedia that

has been used on a PC, format the SmartMedia on

your camera.

When you format a SmartMedia in the camera and

then shoot and record images, a directory (folder) is

automatically created. Image data is then recorded in

this directory.

Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names

or file names on the SmartMedia from your PC as this

will make it impossible to use the SmartMedia in your

camera.

To avoid damage caused by static electricity, always

use the special static-free case provided during

transportation or storage, or keep the SmartMedia in

a storage case if available.

Do not carry SmartMedia in locations such as a

trouser pocket. This could subject the SmartMedia to

excessive force when you sit down, thereby

damaging the SmartMedia.

Always use the camera to erase image data on a

SmartMedia.

To edit image data, copy the image data to the

computer’s hard disk and then edit the copied data.

The SmartMedia may feel warm when it is removed

from the camera after extended periods of picture

taking or image viewing. This is normal and does not

indicate a fault.
